How many years will it take for a happy tree to grow?
For growers who love happiness trees, the thickness of the plant stems directly affects the ornamental value. How many years will it take to cultivate a strong and straight tree of happiness? This article will systematically analyze the key factors that affect stem thickness through scientific data and maintenance experience. Analysis of the Stem Thickening Cycle of Happiness Tree Basic Growth Cycle Characteristics Under an ideal environment, health-growing Happiness Tree seedlings can grow 1- 2 cm in stem thickness every year. Under normal circumstances, the ornamental standard of 3- 4 cm can be reached in 2 years, and the stem diameter of five-year-old plants can reach 6-8cm. However, the actual growth rate is affected by multiple factors such as temperature, light, water and fertilizer. The four core maintenance technology systems, light energy conversion and control technology, need to ensure more than 5 hours of scattered light per day, and the photosynthesis intensity is positively related to the lignification process of stems and stems. It is recommended to adopt full sunshine management in spring and autumn, set up a 30% sunshade net in summer, and add LED plant fill light to 8 hours per day in winter. Shape control pruning plan When the new tip grows to 15cm, the first picking is carried out, retaining 3-4 pairs of true leaves. Heavy cutting is carried out from March to April every year to cut off lateral branches that exceed 1/3 of the diameter of the main stem to promote the division of cambium cells. It is recommended to apply healing ointment to the wound to prevent infection. The water and fertilizer collaborative management system adopts the "three-look" watering method: look at the soil (the surface layer is completely dry), look at the leaves (slightly wilted), and look at the seasons (3 days in spring and autumn, once in the morning and evening in summer). Slow-release fertilizer with N-P-K=15-5-10 is applied every month during the growth period, and 0.2% potassium dihydrogen phosphate foliar fertilizer will be used from September to increase lignin deposition. The basic ratio of substrate optimization formula is: lime soil: perlite: vermiculite =5:3:2. Add 5kg of decomposed sheep manure and 2 kg of bone meal to each cubic meter as base fertilizers. EM inoculants are added to improve soil microecology when changing pots every spring. Advanced maintenance precautions Keep the ambient temperature above 12 ° C in winter and control the air humidity at 60-70%. Regularly rotate the flowerpot to ensure uniform light reception, and use brassinolide (0.01mg/L) for growth regulation every season. Through these systematic maintenance measures, the stem thickening cycle can be shortened by 30%.
After mastering scientific maintenance methods, the thickness of the stems of happiness trees will become controllable and predictable. It is recommended to establish a maintenance log, record monthly growth data, and adjust the management plan through comparison and adjustment, so that the ideal strong plants will eventually be cultivated.
