How does Strelitaria litgarica breed
As an elegant representative of tropical plants, Strelitaria litgarica has conquered countless gardening enthusiasts with its unique bird head inflorescence. If this "bird of paradise" wants to reproduce and bloom more, it is crucial to master scientific reproduction and side bud cultivation techniques. The complete strategy for breeding of Strelitaria liturica: artificial pollination is the key to family planting: choose a sunny morning, use a thin brush to dip stamen pollen and smear the pistil stigma, and repeat the operation for 3 days to improve the success rate. Seed treatment needs to follow the three principles of "wake-up with warm water-disinfection and sterilization-constant temperature germination." When soaking in warm water at 50℃, water needs to be changed every 12 hours. After disinfection with 0.1% potassium permanganate solution, place it in an incubator at 28℃, and wait until the radicles break through the seed coat. Sown. It is recommended to use a substrate with peat soil: perlite =3:1, and the thickness of the covering soil is twice the seed diameter to keep the substrate moist without standing water. The best time for rafting is when the spring temperature stabilizes above 18℃. Select a strong plant with 5-6 bud points and cut it using the "three-point method": retain 2/3 of the root system of the mother plant, disinfect the cutting tool with alcohol, apply charcoal powder to the incision and leave it in the air for 2 hours. The new plant is recommended to be planted in pottery pots, and 3cm broken tiles are laid on the bottom to enhance drainage. After planting, it is placed in a scattered light environment for maintenance for 15 days, while maintaining the air humidity of more than 70%. The three core root activation systems for lateral bud cultivation carry out root pruning every two years when changing pots: cut off black rotten roots, retain healthy fleshy roots, and apply rooting powder to the incision. The substrate formula was upgraded to legus soil: river sand: bone meal =5:3:2, and the diameter of the basin was increased by 5 cm each time. In spring, phosphorus and potassium fertilizers (N-P-K=5-10-10) were added to stimulate lateral bud differentiation, and roots were irrigated with alginic acid once a month. The art of lighting control creates a lighting mode of "scattered light is the main focus, supplemented by direct light": direct morning light for 4 hours a day in spring and autumn, use sunshade nets to filter 50% of the light in summer, and replenish the fill light for 2 hours a day in winter. When the leaves appear transverse folds, it means that the light is too strong, and when the leaves are longitudinally folds, more light is needed. The water and fertilizer collaborative strategy implements the "see dry, see wet + thin fertilizer and frequent application" system: maintain the substrate humidity at 40%-60% in summer and reduce it to 30% in winter. A balanced fertilizer of 20-20 -20 at a rate of 1:1000 is applied every half month during the growing period, and high-phosphate fertilizer is used during the bud appearing period. Key skills: Wipe the leaves with beer diluent (1:50) every month to clean and replenish trace elements.
Through systematic breeding and maintenance management, Strelitaria litgarica can not only achieve population expansion, but also show a spectacular scene of competition among the groups. It is recommended to combine phenological observation and record growth data to gradually form a personalized maintenance plan. When the first cluster of lateral buds breaks out of the soil, you will appreciate the wonderful rhythm of plant life.
