Qilixiang cultivation methods and precautions

Qilixiang, also known as Qianlixiang, white flowers, emitting a strong fragrance, long-distance can also smell its fragrance, so the name, because of its beautiful flowers, has excellent ornamental value. But in the cultivation will also encounter a lot of problems, so how to breed Qili incense? What should I pay attention to? Let's get to know it.

1. Watering

Qilixiang likes the humid environment, but because the potted soil is limited, it is easy to dry. If it is not watered for a long time, it will be short of water and die, but it should not be watered too much, otherwise it will cause overgrowth, long-term basin soil is too wet, the root system will breathe badly, and it is very easy to cause rotten root death. Watering should be moderate when planting, and water should be controlled moderately before budding, so as to promote flower bud differentiation, and it is better to be moist and not waterlogged after budding. In the summer and autumn high temperature period should be watered in the morning and evening, spring can be watered every other day, winter should be watered every few days, rainy season to prevent stagnant water, in order to avoid rotting root death.

2. Fertilization

When Qili incense is put on the pot, it is suggested that bone powder and nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium should be added to the soil to legalize the house, and nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium compound fertilizer should be applied once every half month during the growing period, not only nitrogen fertilizer, so as not to cause branches and leaves to grow without pregnant buds, and thin cake fertilizer should be applied every 3-5 weeks in the growing season. Foliar fertilizer with low concentration of potassium dihydrogen phosphate solution can be sprayed once a month from April to June. It is generally not suitable to apply fertilizer in autumn so as not to sprout new shoots and suffer frost injury. Organic fertilizer can be applied once as base fertilizer in winter. Nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium fertilizer is determined according to the growth situation and different growth periods.

3. Pruning

When the seedling grows to 10-15 cm high, the terminal bud should be removed in time, and the height of 6-8 cm should be retained. When the new branch grows about 1 cm, the second coring should be carried out, and a plump crown can be formed after several times. After the formation of the crown, the plant is still growing, and it should be pruned in time, long branches and short branches, and dense branches, so as to maintain the graceful posture of the tree, especially the strong sprouting power of Qili incense. In order to maintain a certain tree shape, we should pay attention to regular pruning.

4. Points for attention

The suitable temperature for growth is 20-32 degrees, which is not cold-resistant, and it should not be less than 5 degrees in winter, otherwise it will lead to low temperature freezing injury, causing leaves to fall off, affecting the growth of the following year, and directly freezing to death once it is lower than 0 degrees. Qili incense is positive, it can blossom and flourish in a place with sufficient light and ventilation, if it is in a semi-shady place, it will grow poorly and the fragrance of flowers will be lighter, and its cultivation soil should be fertile sandy soil. The disease promoted by Qili incense is powdery mildew, which often causes the leaves to be covered with white powdery matter, resulting in the loss of green, yellowing and shedding of leaves, so attention should be paid to prevention and control.
