What is the price of white wax? what is the planting method of white wax?

White wax molded trees and bonsai products are relatively expensive, so people who are interested in this plant are generally recommended to grow and cultivate their own, cost-effective, but also can experience the fun of horticulture.

Planting techniques of White Wax

Land preparation: select the sandy soil section with loose and fertile soil and convenient drainage and irrigation as nursery land, combined with deep ploughing, disinfect the soil with ferrous sulfate 50kg/ mu, and prepare the soil carefully before sowing, so as to be flat, loose, uniform and fine. Sandy land and clayey land apply more organic fertilizer and mix a large amount of sand or guest soil to improve the physical and chemical properties of the soil. Every 667 square meters, 2-3 kg 5% phoxim granules were applied, mixed with fine soil, sprinkled into the nursery and ploughed to eliminate underground pests.

Seed treatment: select excellent plants with strong growth and no diseases and insect pests and pick them when the Samara changes from green to yellowish brown and the kernels are hard. After drying, remove sundries and store them in storage. At the beginning of March of the following year, after one day of flooding, the seeds of ∶ were stacked with wet sand in the sunny place according to the proportion of 3 ∶ 1 in the sand. They were turned over every 3-5 days and sprinkled with appropriate amount of water according to the degree of dryness and humidity for about half a month. Pay attention to observe that the seeds can be sown after about 30% of the split mouth sprouts.

Irrigation and drainage: reasonably determine the irrigation time and quantity according to the different periods of seedling growth. Should be filled with water after planting, so that the sand and the root gap close contact, usually keep the sand bed wet, often sprinkle water on the tree trunk. In the seed germination period, the bed should always be moist, irrigation should be a small number of times; after the seedlings come out, the cotyledons fully expand, enter the vigorous growth period, irrigation amount should be more, times should be less, irrigation once every 2-3 days, each time should be thoroughly irrigated. Irrigation should be carried out in the morning and evening. Drainage should be carried out in time when it is rainy in autumn.

Light shading: the effect will be better if it is protected by 30% Murray and 50% shading net. In general, it will sprout in late spring and early summer. The Beginning of Autumn can remove the sunshade net in early August to make it enjoy the sunshine. From the end of April to the beginning of May, if there is still an ungerminated stump, scrape off the bark with a knife, and if the top skin is still emerald green instead of withered yellow, it can be pulled out of the sand bed and soaked in clean water for one day and night. Sand is preserved in half-yin and half-yang, which can still promote its germination and survival. 

Loosening soil and weeding: in line with the principle of "removing early, removing small, except", weeding should be carried out in time, and weeding should be carried out after rain or irrigation. the seedlings should be loosened when they enter the peak growth period, which should be shallow at the initial stage and deeper at the later stage, so that the roots of the seedlings will not be harmed. During the hardening period of seedlings, loosening soil and weeding should be stopped in order to promote the Lignification of seedlings. 

Fertilization and topdressing: chemical fertilizer is applied to supplement it in the peak period of seedling growth. Apply nitrogen fertilizer in seedling stage, apply more nitrogen fertilizer, potash fertilizer or several kinds of fertilizer in fast-growing period, stop applying nitrogen fertilizer and more potassium fertilizer in the later growth stage, and topdressing should be mainly quick-acting fertilizer, a small amount of time.

Pest control: the main disease of white wax is coal fouling disease, the main pests are leaf rollers and longicorn beetles, the former harms tender leaves and the latter eats branches. Find diseases and insect pests and exterminate them as soon as possible. The occurrence of diseases and insect pests should be prevented from the aspects of winter ploughing, soil disinfection, selection of improved varieties, seed disinfection, reasonable fertilization, timely early sowing and management. In addition, after the occurrence of chlorosis in leaves, no other pathogens were found to invade. Chlorosis should be irrigated with ferrous sulfate at the ratio of 1: 400 and irrigated once every other week for 3-5 consecutive times.

Price reference of white wax

The price of saplings is 2 yuan per plant, 60 yuan for 5 cm downhill seedlings, 200 yuan for 10 cm downhill seedlings, 1000 yuan for 15 cm downhill seedlings, 8500 yuan for 20 yuan modeling trees, and 3000 yuan for 20 cm models.

In addition to the matters that need to be paid attention to in the process of cultivating white wax mentioned above, when cultivating white wax, especially bonsai wax, we should also pay attention to timely pruning it to ensure its beautiful tree shape and luxuriant branches.
