How does a fiery dragon explode?
As a star breed in the meat world, fire-breathing dragons are deeply loved by flower friends for their unique dragon-scale leaves and upward growth posture. However, in order for this domineering plant to have a burst effect, we need to master scientific cultivation methods. This article will systematically explain the complete plan to create a fire-breathing fire-bursting basin landscape from breeding skills to daily maintenance. Cutting propagation cluster planting The core technique of fire-breathing dragons utilizes the easy rooting characteristics of fire-breathing dragons. Select a healthy stem section of 10-15cm obliquely, dry the incision and insert it into a mixed matrix of vermiculite + perlite. Keep the ambient temperature at around 25℃ and take root for about 3 weeks. 5-8 seedlings were planted in a ring on the edge of large-diameter flowerpot, and the base of the exploding pot was quickly formed through group planting. The three-dimensional growth space plan reserves 20% of the space in the center of the basin to guide the plants to spread and grow to the outside. Regularly rotate the flowerpot to ensure uniform light reception in all directions, and use the phototropism of plants to stimulate the germination of lateral buds to form a three-dimensional and plump cluster effect. The light and heat management of the fire-breathing fire-blasting basin maintenance system ensures 6 hours of direct light every day, and 30% of the shade needs to be shaded at noon in summer. In winter, plant fill light is added to maintain an environment above 12℃. The light intensity is recommended to be 8000-10000lux, which can activate plant growth potential. During the growth period of the nutrient circulation system, slow-release fertilizer (NPK10 -10-10) is applied every month in conjunction with foliar spraying of alginate. In September, additional phosphorus and potassium fertilizers were applied to promote lignification, and the principle of "thin fertilizer and frequent application" was adopted, and the EC value was controlled between 1.2 and 1.8mS/cm. Morphological control strategy Picks are carried out in spring and autumn, and 4-6 pairs of leaves are retained. Cut off the growth points produced by basal leaves in time and concentrate nutrients (G-Y) on the top buds. Trim excessively dense root systems when changing pots every year to maintain the optimal root-shoot ratio of 1:3.
Through the cooperation of scientific cuttage and refined maintenance, a well-layered, lush branches and leaves can be created in about 12-18 months. It is recommended to regularly take growth records and dynamically adjust the maintenance plan according to the state of the plant, so that this dragon-scale vitality can bloom perfectly in the basin.
