I. Culture methods of Ficus microphylla

Select / change pots: the size of flowerpots is generally determined according to the size of drooping banyan seedlings. In order to obtain good plant type, 3 seedlings should be planted in one pot. In order to supplement nutrients, the pendulous leaf banyan needs to change the pot every 1-3 years, small potted plants can be changed every April, and large-scale plants can be changed every 2-3 years. When changing the basin in spring, add rotten compost (such as dried pig manure) to the bottom of the basin, and then add new basin soil. When changing the basin, it is best to trim it to promote branching.

Soil: the weeping banyan is suitable to grow in the acid mixed soil with humus, which can be the mixture of compost and peat soil in the same proportion, with proper base fertilizer, or it can be mixed with garden soil and rotten leaf soil with a little coarse sand.

Temperature: weeping leaf banyan likes high temperature environment, and the best growth temperature is 22-30 ℃. It is not cold-resistant. In order to prevent frost injury, the temperature should not be less than 5 ℃ in overwintering stage.

Lighting: weeping leaves of banyan like light, generally placed in sunny places, but can not accept direct light, flower and leaf varieties are not good. The mesophyll of the weeping banyan that receives enough sunlight is thick and shiny; the plants without light grow sluggishly, the internodes elongate, and the leaves are soft.

1. Go to the flower market to buy a pot of small-leaf banyan planted in soil. When selecting, pay attention to: the trunk should be straight, or multiple trunks can be; the side branches on each trunk should be numerous and uniform; the green leaves should be beautiful and luxuriant, without "burning tips", that is, the leaf tips should not be yellow and the leaves should be all green.

2. Break the flowerpot, take out the small-leaf banyan from the pot, shake off the soil gently, be careful not to hurt the main root and the thicker root, then rinse the whole root with water, and remove the rotten root and too thin root at the same time. Get a clean and tidy small-leaf banyan root.

3. Find a cylindrical glass bottle with a diameter of about 100mm and a length greater than 300mm, colorless and transparent, clean and spare.

4. Find a large cola bottle, add a section of 20mm cylinder to cut off the mouth and cone of the threaded bottle, and remove the rest. Then saw and cut the thread bottle mouth and the cone with a section of 20mm along the busbar, which is used as a clamp to hold the trunk of the small leaf banyan. Cut a section of the 20mm cylinder into small pieces along the busbar, bake the small pieces with fire and bend 90 degrees outward as a planting frame on the mouth of the cylindrical glass bottle. Do everything possible to adjust the planting frame to make it in a stable state and keep the small leaf banyan plant in the middle vertical posture.

III. Cultivation and management of banyan trees

The banyan tree is strong and adaptable, and can grow normally under extensive cultivation conditions. The seedlings should be raised with intact soil masses, and the pot should be planted with culture soil that does not contain rice. Turn the basin and change the soil once in 2-3 years. When watering, you should master the principle that you would rather be wet than dry, and do not suffer early. Fertilization should not be too much, topdressing liquid fertilizer 3-5 times a year. It is also not suitable to plant large pots, in case the branches grow so that the shape of the tree can not be controlled. In winter, people can spend the winter in a medium-temperature greenhouse, but there should be more sunshine. The furnishings in ordinary family rooms will not be frozen.

The main purpose of banyan potted plant is to make stump bonsai. Large potted plants can cultivate a trunk 1.52 meters high and retain a small number of lateral branches through pruning, so that the collection of lateral branches can sweep on the top of the trunk and make the aerial roots hang down from the crown. And coiled the sturdy aerial root on the trunk, just like the jade column Panlong, let the thinner aerial root float naturally, like bursts of silk rain.
