The Culture method of Tianmeng how to raise Tianmeng

Tianmen winter alias asparagus, the two names sound very beautiful, as if in the snow-capped winter suddenly saw a touch of spring bright green. The breeding method of Tianmen winter is not difficult, so let's learn it together.

I. the function value of Tianmendong

1. Ornamental value: Tianmen winter green stems and branches hang, not withered all the year round, long and slender, elegant and unrestrained. It is not only the good potted foliage flowers decorated in the four seasons, but also more gorgeous if the green stems and branches are cut to prepare the flower basket.

two。 Medicinal value: the main medicinal properties of Tianmen winter are nourishing yin and clearing heat, moistening dryness and promoting fluid. Mainly used for the treatment of tuberculosis, cough, hernia, body pain, aphtha, bronchitis and other diseases. However, it is said that Tianmen winter is forbidden to eat with carp, which will have adverse reactions and are not good for the body.

Second, the morphological characteristics of Tianmeng.

Climbing plants. The roots are fusiform in the middle or near the end, most of which are 3-5 cm long and 1-2 cm thick. Stems smooth, often curved or twisted, up to 1-2 m long, branched angulate or narrowly winged. Leafy branches usually clustered every 3, flattened or slightly sharply trigonous because of the keel of midrib, slightly falcate, 0.5-8 cm long and ca. 1-2 mm wide; the base of scalelike leaves on stems extends into hard spines 2.5-3.5 mm long, thorns on branches shorter or inconspicuous. Flowers usually 2 axillary, light green; pedicels 2-6 mm long; joints generally located in the middle, sometimes changing position; male flowers: perianth 2.5-3 mm long; filaments not Adnate to perianth segments; female flowers similar in size to male flowers. Berries 6-7 mm in diameter, red when ripe, with 1 seed. The flowering period is from May to June and the fruiting period is from August to October.

III. Ecological habits of Tianmendong

Tianmen winter likes fertile sandy soil, which is suitable for humid climate and environment, but is afraid of waterlogging and hot sun. Like warm and humid climate, not resistant to cold, avoid drought and stagnant water. It is suitable to select loam or sandy loam which is deep, fertile, rich in humus and well drained, but not in clay or barren soil and areas with poor drainage.

IV. The mode of reproduction of Tianmendong

Tianmendong can be propagated by seeds or by individual plants.

The method of seed seedling transplanting and reproduction: collect the fruit when it yellowed and mature, remove the pulp, and choose the full seeds and large ones to be planted in March-April. Pay attention to maintain a certain line spacing, regular topdressing and weeding, so as to ensure the growth and nourishment of Tianmeng. Water is watered every two or three days. Tianmendong is afraid of waterlogging. You don't need to water regularly, just keep the surrounding humidity.

Ramet propagation: autumn planting from August to September, the germination rate is high, the growth is very robust. Apply mature fertilizer or nitrogen fertilizer every 10 or 20 days to keep the sun full and the temperature above 5 degrees. In some places, Tianmen winter will be made into a potted plant to decorate the family as a fruit and leaf ornamental plant, which is very interesting. However, Tianmen winter grows relatively fast and needs to be changed frequently.

5. Key points of cultivation in Tianmen Winter

1. It is sunny and well ventilated, and the cultivated soil is required to be loose, fertile and well drained. There are many potted plants in the north, and after leaving the house in early spring, they can be placed under the eaves of the corridor or on the balcony. Due to the dry and hot weather in early summer in the north, it should be slightly shaded around noon, and sprinkle water on the nearby ground to increase air humidity. After the beginning of spring, Tianmen winter entered the rapid growth season, can gradually increase the amount of water, and topdressing dilute liquid fertilizer, in order to promote branches and leaves to flourish, more nitrogen fertilizer can be applied.

two。 The root system of Tianmen winter grows rapidly, and the basin must be changed in early spring every year, and part of the succulent old root must be cut off in order to grow luxuriantly, otherwise the root system is crowded in the basin, the supply of nutrition falls short of demand, and the phenomenon of yellowing of stems and leaves often occurs. Tianmen winter is placed indoors in the shade for a long time, and because of the lack of light, the stems and leaves are also easy to turn yellow, so every once in a while, the flowerpot should be moved to the place where there is plenty of sunshine outside, strengthen the management of fertilizer and water, and promote its slow seedling to recover for a period of time. And then put it indoors. In the cold areas of the north, before the Frost Festival in late October, they moved indoors for the winter, placed in front of the sunny south curtain, stopped fertilization and controlled watering. If the winter watering too much, indoor light is not enough, often make the stems and leaves yellow. If the room temperature is not less than 5 degrees, you can survive the winter safely.

I would also like to tell you here that Tianmen winter is less likely to cause diseases and insect pests, and its disease and pest prone period is from May to June every year, so you can generally pay more attention to it at this time. However, family pot culture Tianmen winter, the probability of diseases and insect pests will be lower, so as long as you do a good job of daily care.
