How to raise Guanyin lotus the correct method of Guanyin lotus culture

Guanyinlian belongs to terrestrial ferns with plants as high as 90cm. Rhizome transverse or obliquely extended, thick and short, with short brown glandular hairs apically. Leaves fascicled; petiole 25-50cm long, ventral with longitudinal sulcus, densely brown short glandular hairs when young, then gradually deciduous; leaf rachis and pinnate rachis sparsely brown glandular hairy, often with an ovate bud, brownish green; leaf blade membranous, narrowly ovate or triangular-elliptic, long 30-45cm, 18-36cm wide, 4-pinnatifid; pinnae 1015 pairs, subopposite, stipitate, narrowly ovate, the first pair of pinnae is the largest, 14-24cm long, 8-12cm wide Bipinnae ca. 15 pairs, alternate, shortly stipitate, narrowly ovate to lanceolate, 4-7cm long, 1.2-2cm wide; trifoliate pinnae 8-8mm 10 pairs, alternate, short-stipitated, obliquely oblong, 6-8mm long, 5-6mm wide, with two pointed lobes on each side; leaf veins pinnate, lateral veins bifurcate in lobes. The sporangia are small and round, born near the top of the veinlets on the back of the leaves, without cover.

Character identification rhizome cylindrical, thick and short. The surface is brown and the yellow-white vascular bundles can be seen on the cross section. Petiole 25-40cm long, ca. 3.5mm in diameter, straw-colored, herbaceous, densely covered with rust-colored glandular hairs; leaf blade triangular-oblong, 25-40cm long, 18-30cm wide, 4-pinnatifid, membranous, brownish green; leaf rachis and pinnae have rust-colored glandular hairs, and there are often 3 axillary globules above the middle of the leaf axis at the base of the pinnae. The sporangia are round and small, subterminal on the veinlets. The breath is slight, the taste is slightly astringent.

Guanyinlian is a kind of indoor foliage plant with high grade and unique style. At present, black-leaf Guanyinlian is very popular in the international foliage plant market, and it is widely used in high-grade indoor garden design and waterscape design. Up to now, the Carmel Company of Israel is famous for its production of Guanyin lotus.

Environmental protection efficacy: it has a slight effect on absorbing indoor toxic gases, vacuuming, sterilizing, purifying air, filtering turbid gas, and slightly increasing humidity in the room. Application: Guanyinlian plant shape is compact and straight, the leaf is broad and thick and full of special metallic luster; the leaf vein is clear and picturesque, it is a unique foliage plant, and it is also one of the foliage plants popular at home and abroad in recent years. Guanyinlian is widely used. It can be planted in small and medium-sized pots and is used to decorate the study, living room, bedroom and office, which is noble and elegant.

Temperature: its ecological habit is warm, humid, semi-shady growth environment, the suitable growth temperature is 20 ℃ 30 ℃, the overwintering temperature is 15 ℃.

Reproduction: Guanyinlian is commonly used for ramet propagation. Generally, when the temperature is high in spring and summer every year, the plants with dense tillers of underground tubers are divided along the tuber separation place, so that each part has 3 plants, and then they are planted in the pot. At the same time, it is advisable to keep the basin soil moist and pay attention to foliar spray to facilitate the restoration of new plant growth. It can also dig out the underground tuber before the new buds grow in spring, separate the tuber segments, disinfect the wound with plant ash or sulfur powder, wrap it with water moss after slightly drying, or put it in loose soil with ventilation and drainage, so that it can grow adventitious roots and grow new buds. Don't get too wet in the matrix here, so as not to rot the tuber. The plant can also be propagated by sowing, but the seeds are not easy to get.

Soil: Guanyin lotus pot cultivation should use loose, well-drained soil rich in humus, generally can use the same amount of rotten leaf soil, garden soil and river sand as the matrix.

Watering: the peak growth period is from April to September, when the soil is moist and the air humidity is high, and sufficient water should be given; especially in the summer high temperature period, the leaf water evaporation is large and the water demand is more, such as the lack of water is very easy to wilt the leaves, so it is necessary to often spray water to the leaves and keep the environment moist at the same time, but water accumulation in the basin must be avoided, otherwise it will cause root rot. When the autumn temperature is below 15 ℃, the growth of Guanyinlian stagnates and shows a dormant state, and the aboveground leaves begin to wither gradually, at this time, we must try our best to reduce the amount of water, put it in a warm, dry place without wind, and keep the basin soil properly dry (only slightly wet) to survive the winter safely; if the humidity is high and the temperature is low, the tuber is extremely easy to rot.

Lighting: Guanyin lotus likes semi-overcast, avoid strong light exposure. In the semi-overcast environment, the leaf color is fresh and glossy, the leaf vein is clear, the leaf color is dark green. If the light is too strong, it is easy to make the leaf color dim, until sunburn occurs, the leaf surface is rough, the leaf color is gray, the leaf vein is blurred, and sometimes burn spots occur on the leaf surface; but the light is too weak and easy to cause overgrowth, plant growth slender and easy to lodge. In the peak growth period, according to the situation of plant growth, dilute liquid fertilizer should be applied twice a month, and phosphorus and potassium fertilizer should be added to make the stem of the plant erect and grow healthily. at the same time, it is beneficial to the growth and enrichment of a tuber and cold resistance in winter.

Guanyinlian is said to be able to purify the air and absorb dust, but it is actually exaggerated. Succulent Guanyinlian only has the effect of micro-absorption of toxic gases and micro-humidification. In fact, the main function of Guanyinlian is to treat typhoid diarrhea, rheumatism, rhinitis and all kinds of skin diseases.

The whole plant of Guanyinlian is poisonous, and the stem is the most toxic. If the skin touches the juice will cause itching, accidentally into the eyes can lead to blindness, accidentally eat, the mouthpiece itching, swelling, nausea and vomiting, the most serious, can lead to heart paralysis and death. So you should be more careful when breeding.
