When the temperature is lower than 10℃, the growth of plants is hindered and the leaves are vulnerable to freezing injury. White crane is afraid of strong light exposure, summer shade 60%~70%, but long-term lack of light, it is not easy to bloom. 500 lux is appropriate.

The breeding method of white caltrop

White caltrop is commonly used in plant division, seeding and tissue culture propagation.

division propagation

May to June is best. Remove the whole plant from the pot, cut the rhizome from the base of the plant cluster, each cluster has at least 3~4 leaves, and restore it in the shade after subplanting.

seed reproduction

After flowering, seeds can be obtained by artificial pollination. Seed should be sown immediately after harvest, germination temperature is 30℃, germination 10~15 days after sowing. If the germination temperature is too low, the seeds are easy to rot.

tissue culture propagation

In the late 1970s and early 1980s, tissue culture propagation of white calla began in the United States and Germany. Inflorescences and lateral buds were inoculated on MS medium supplemented with 10 mg/l 6-benzylaminoadenine and 2 mg/l indoleacetic acid after sterilization. Callus and adventitious buds were produced after 40~45 days. Adventitious buds were transferred to MS medium supplemented with 2 mg/L indoleacetic acid and induced to root in 30~40 days.

Disease Control of White Crane

hazardous blade

Common bacterial leaf spot disease, brown spot disease and anthracnose damage leaves, 50% carbendazim wettable powder 500 times spray. In addition, root rot and stem rot occurred. In addition to paying attention to ventilation and reducing humidity, 75% chlorothalonil WP 800 times solution was used to control them.

scale insects

Sometimes scale insects and red spiders harm, with 50% marathon emulsifiable concentrate 1500 times spray control.

control methods

The method is to wipe with rags, spray 500 times solution of wind oil or washing powder, spray methamidophos, Shijiening, Guoguang Jieke and so on to control, the effect is good. General poor ventilation is the main reason for inducing this pest, scale insects suck the juice of flower plants, generally do not move, wipe away that is, death, for the most environmentally friendly method, but must wipe clean. Note that after spraying, dead scale insects cannot fall. Ventilation management should be strengthened in the future, which is the best way to prevent diseases and insect pests.
