Planting flowers and grass is a good thing that not only cultivates sentiment but also beautifies the environment. No, I recently discovered a particularly interesting plant-dogwood. Not only does its name sound a bit mysterious, but it also looks quite distinctive. So, how to grow dogwood? I will give you a detailed explanation today. 1. Know the dogwood
dogwood, also known as dogwood seed, is a small deciduous tree originating in my country and has a long history. Its fruit can be used as medicine and has the effects of nourishing liver and kidney, astringent essence, and astringent sweat. Moreover, the leaves, bark and other parts of dogwood also have certain medicinal value. Doesn't that sound amazing? 2. Choose the right planting site
If you want to grow dogwood well, you must first choose the right place. Dogwood likes a warm and humid climate and has strong cold resistance, but is afraid of waterlogging. Therefore, choosing a place with sufficient sunshine and good drainage is the key. It is best to be in a mountainous area at an altitude of 500- 1,000 meters. This environment is most suitable for the growth of dogwood. 3. Prepare planting materials
To plant dogwood, you need to prepare the following materials: 1. Dogwood seeds: You can choose mature dogwood fruits and remove the seeds inside for later use.
2. Nurturing bed: Sand or legular soil can be selected as the seedling bed.
3. Nurturing containers: Plastic pots, flower pots and other containers can be used for seedling cultivation.
4. Fertilizer: You can choose organic fertilizer or compound fertilizer as the base fertilizer. 4. Sowing and seedling raising 1. Sowing time: The sowing time of dogwood is generally in spring, which is from March to April every year.
2. Sowing method: Soak the dogwood seeds in warm water for 24 hours, then take them out and dry. Sprinkle seeds evenly on the seedling bed, covering with soil thickness of about 1 cm.
3. Watering: Water in time after sowing to keep the soil moist. After about 10-15 days, the seeds will germinate. 5. Transplanting and management 1. Transplanting time: The transplanting time of dogwood is generally in autumn, which is from September to October every year.
2. Transplanting method: Select strong seedlings for transplanting, and try to keep the root system intact when digging. Water it in time after transplanting and cover the shade properly.
3. Fertilization: During the growth of dogwood, fertilizer is applied every other month, mainly organic fertilizer and supplemented by compound fertilizer.
4. Pruning: During the growth of dogwood, the sick and weak branches should be pruned in time to keep the tree shape beautiful. 6. Pest and insect pest control Cornus may encounter pests and diseases during its growth. The following are some common pests and diseases and their control methods: 1. Aphids: Pesticides such as dimethoate EC or imidacloprid can be used to control them.
