How to preserve potted banyan trees

Banyan tree is also known as small-leaf banyan and fine-leaf banyan. The banyan tree has developed roots, vigorous branches, thick green leaves and evergreen in the overcast season. it is a common foliage flower and bonsai tree species in China. As a potted plant, the main purpose of banyan tree is to make use of the characteristics of soft branches and well-developed aerial roots for tree modeling. According to personal preferences. Potted plants can be large or small. A large pot plant can cultivate a trunk 1.5 to 2 meters high, retain a few chain side branches by pruning, let the side branches concentrate on the top of the trunk, make the aerial root hang down from the crown, and coil its sturdy aerial root on the trunk, like a jade column dragon; let the fine aerial root be natural and elegant, like a drizzle.

Can also cultivate a straight main, the use of lateral branches layered binding shape. First of all, close to the trunk, a thicker wooden stick is inserted as the main column, and a multi-layer round racket is tied out with bamboo strips according to a certain spacing, and the center of the racket is fixed in the wooden stick one; the binding position of the racket should be consistent with the position of the side branches, and the spacing should be equal; the diameter of the racket is reduced circle by circle from the bottom to the top, and then the lateral branches are horizontally wound on each ring racket to make a spiral banyan tree shape.

The banyan tree has a strong ability to adapt, not only like sunshine, but also more tolerant to shade, like warmth, slightly afraid of cold, easy to live in a humid environment and loose and fertile soil. There should be an intact soil mass when it is put on the basin, and the slightly acidic culture soil can be made from peat soil and garden soil with a small amount of river sand. Generally, the basin is turned over and the soil is changed once every 2-3 years. The growing season should always keep the basin soil moist, and special attention should be paid to improving the air humidity. The leaves will scorch edge, turn yellow and fall off gradually in the dry air. Indoor furnishings should be placed in ventilated and bright scattered light, outdoor furnishings, spring and summer should be properly shaded, more sunshine can be seen in winter.

The winter room temperature should be kept at 5: 8 ℃, the basin soil should be prevented from being too dry and wet, and the leaves should be washed with warm water close to room temperature once a week to make the leaves clean and bright green. If the room temperature is too high in winter, you should open the window for ventilation, otherwise there will be a large number of fallen leaves after coming out of the room in the coming spring. If the potted soil is fertile, there is no need to top up fertilizer, but foliar spraying can be carried out with nutrient solution in the growing period of summer and autumn to make its branches and leaves dense and green, giving people a sense of beauty.

How should potted banyan trees be modeled and maintained?

The banyan tree can grow into a large tree more than 30 meters high in South China. The purpose of pot planting with it is mainly to make use of the characteristics of its soft branches and well-developed aerial roots for tree modeling. There are two common ways of modeling.

The main results are as follows: (1) in the hanging type, a trunk 1.5-2 meters high is cultivated, and the lateral branches are drawn from the top of the trunk, so that the aerial roots hang down from the crown.

(2) in the spiral type, a sturdy trunk is cultivated at first, then a thicker wooden stick is inserted close to the trunk as a pillar, and a multi-layer circular beat is arranged with bamboo strips according to the equidistant distance on the stick, and the center of the beat is fixed on the stick. Then the side branches are wound around the beat to make a spiral tree.

The banyan tree has strong adaptability, likes sunshine, and is more shade-tolerant, so it is not strict with the soil, but it can not grow in alkaline soil. During maintenance, the basin soil should be kept moist, and if the root is not arched out of the basin soil, try not to turn the basin and change the soil, pay attention to improve the air humidity.

Box-planted Toona sinensis should be properly shaded in spring and summer in the north of China. Oblique sunlight should be seen after entering the room in winter, and the room temperature is not less than 6 ℃ will not be frozen. If the room temperature is too high in winter, there will be a lot of defoliation next spring. Do not add fertilizer to the pot, nor do you need to apply fertilizer to prevent overgrowth.

How to make potted banyan grow better?

The banyan is an evergreen broad-leaved tree. The leaves are smooth and leathery, oval or Obovate, very good-looking, the branches are soft and tough, resistant to pruning, with gas and roots, quite vigorous and ancient, skillfully for artistic modeling, which can be watched for the four seasons, so banyan trees are often used as potted foliage or bonsai materials in the north, and street shade trees in South China.

The banyan tree is native to southern China, India and Malaysia. It is a tropical tree that likes warmth and is not resistant to cold. Pot culture in the north, winter to go to the greenhouse for winter maintenance, like the humid and sunny environment, but also resistant to semi-shade, soil requirements are not strict, strong adaptability, although like acidic soil, but in slightly alkaline soil can also grow normally. The northern potted banyan trees were moved outdoors in May and kept in the sun or semi-shade. In October, they were moved into a low-temperature greenhouse to survive the winter, and the temperature was kept at about 10 ℃.

Potted banyan trees are mainly for leaf observation, so more nitrogen fertilizer can be applied to benefit its long leaves in the growing season, as well as phosphorus and potassium fertilizer. Apply more base fertilizer when you move out in spring, and then apply rotten oil cake liquid fertilizer every half a month. In the growing season, you can pour more water, or you can spray water to the leaves, which can increase air humidity.

The banyan tree is resistant to pruning, and the appropriate strong cutting can also make it grow and flourish. the branches of the banyan tree can be bent and tied at will to make various shapes, such as "blessing" and "longevity", which is very chic and impressive. The root can also be washed with water to expose the ground and increase the ornamental effect.
