Production method of cycad bonsai

First, tillering time: generally choose in early May.

Second, the configuration of basin soil: the bottom of the flowerpot needs to be covered with 5 cm thick river sand, and the upper layer is about 15 cm thick. 1 big 3 river sand and 2 big 3 humus mixed soil. After laying, drench it with 3 ‰ potassium permanganate solution and cover it with plastic film. It can be put into use after 2 days.

Third, the pot method, choose to tiller in cloudy days

The main results are as follows: 1. The leaves of the tiller buds to be cut are cut off to avoid excessive transpiration after the tiller buds are cut away from the mother.

2. Remove the tillering buds from the mother with a knife or saw. The incision should be as small as possible, and the aerial roots should be retained as far as possible, but the aerial roots should be cut short if they are too long.

3. Smear the cut tiller buds with plant ash to prevent the flow of fat, and then put them in a cool and ventilated place for 5 days.

4. Soak the dry tiller buds in 3 ‰ potassium permanganate solution and bury the basal tiller buds for about 10 minutes to fully disinfect and prevent mildew. Then peel off the sandy soil and bury the tiller buds, not too deep, but the incision must be covered.

IV. Post-pot management

There is no need to water after insertion, because the soil has just been sterilized. It is necessary to build a plastic arch shed in time to prevent rain, otherwise the buds are perishable and will not produce leaves that year. After 1 month, the tiller bud will produce 1 to several rounds of neat, green new leaves, and begin to root. When the root system is more prosperous (about 3 months later), you can pour light bran cake water and fertilizer, but the frequency should not be too much. At this time, the shade canopy can be removed and let it grow naturally. Finally, a cycad bonsai was successfully made in the right place.
