What is the breeding method of Chinese wolfberry? How to deal with the care leaves of Chinese wolfberry with white powder?

Potted Chinese wolfberry like to grow warm in the pot not only good-looking leaves and fruits (wolfberry) can eat, pruned old branches can also be boiled into tea to drink! Most of the potted flowers in the backyard of the small vine only put some coffee grounds and fallen leaves in the organic compost mixed with some soil, which is environmentally friendly and fertile. Let's take a look at the breeding method of Chinese wolfberry.

Propagation of Lycium barbarum

In addition to sowing and raising seedlings with mature Chinese wolfberry, cuttings are more likely to succeed and bear fruit faster than those sown with seeds. I have distributed the seedlings to several friends in this way.

Chinese wolfberry is suitable for planting in places with good drainage and half sunshine. It will blossom one after another around the end of spring, and the Chinese wolfberry will slowly change color and mature about a month after the flowers wither. When the fruit turns orange-red in summer and autumn, it is the peak season for Chinese wolfberry harvest.

This is the purple floret of the newly planted Chinese wolfberry last spring; the fruit (wolfberry) can be harvested about a month after the flower fades. 20150626_111556

Care of Chinese wolfberry

When the temperature is high and the temperature difference between morning and evening is large, Chinese wolfberry trees are very easy to get sick. The most common thing is to grow white powder on the leaves, which is like mildew. I usually use milk to dilute a gallon of water and add a drop of dishwashing liquid or hand-washing milk. Spray some on the branches and leaves in the morning and evening, and the healing effect is good. Dilute (gallon of water) with 1 tablespoon of baking soda + 2 drops of oil this leaf also works against mold.

In addition, friends said that when Chinese wolfberry grows luxuriantly, healthy and fresh Chinese wolfberry leaves can also be eaten. Fresh Chinese wolfberry leaves can be used to cook soup and fried eggs.

This is a mature Chinese wolfberry, although only some results, but still very happy.
