The grafting method of Ling Arrow Lotus

The grafting of arrow lotus can be carried out in spring and autumn, and sunny days are better. Rootstocks generally choose trigonous arrows (commonly known as "triangle"), cactus and cactus (that is, flower balls, grass balls).

Grafting makes the arrow lotus commonly split (also known as wedge grafting, insertion). If the cactus or trigonous arrow is used as the rootstock, the top can be cut horizontally at the height of 20 "30" m, and then cut vertically at the vascular in the middle of the incision. The scion should choose a sturdy abnormal stem with a length of about 10 meters. The two sides of the lower end of the scion are cut into bevel respectively, and the cutting surface is required to be smooth. Immediately after the scion is cut, it is inserted into the cut of the rootstock, and then the scion is fixed on the rootstock with the long thorn of cactus or small bamboo needle. At the same time, it can also be fixed with bamboo and wood clamps after padding paper on the rootstock. The clamp can be removed after 6-7 days, and the long thorn or small bamboo needle will be removed after the scion survives, so as not to affect the growth of the plant.

If the cactus is used as the rootstock, the top of the cactus must be removed, and then the scion is grafted at the vascular bundle in the center of the ball. If the cactus is not topped, the top of the rootstock will continue to grow because of apical dominance, resulting in grafting failure.

Care should be taken not to let the incision water when watering the plant after grafting, so as not to cause section infection. After about 3 months, the epidermis of the incision became membranous, even if it was drenched by Rain Water. As the above rootstocks are resistant to fertilizer and moisture, the plant can appropriately increase the amount of fertilizer and water, fertilize 2-3 times a month, and use phosphorus and potassium fertilizers such as rotten bean cake and bone meal.

The arrow lotus is a common plant with CAN metabolism. It closes the stomata on the back of the leaves during the day, and at night, when the ambient temperature drops to an appropriate temperature, it opens the stomata on the back of the leaves, expels oxygen and absorbs carbon dioxide. So putting the arrow lotus in the bedroom can bring fresh air to the sleeping people, which is beneficial to our health.

The arrow lotus can also greatly increase the content of negative ions in the indoor air. The arrow lotus can increase negative ions, which are very much needed by our human body. However, if the indoor TV or computer is turned on, the negative ions will be reduced rapidly, so if a pot of arrow lotus is placed next to the computer or TV, the concentration of negative ions can be increased to ensure a balanced state in the environment.
