Longtuzhu belongs to the Verbenaceae family. It has a white appearance and red petals. It looks very pure and noble. It belongs to the Verbenaceae family and is not widely known yet. Its hometown originated from the tropical region of western Africa and is now cultivated in China. Because Longtuzhu is farmed in potted plants, it is generally commonly used in pots of 12-15cm. Three Longtuzhu plants can be planted in one pot. If the humidity of the pot soil of Longtuzhu is too high, the humidity will cause the leaves to fall off or turn yellow. If the branches are not wilting, there is no need to water and let them recover by themselves and grow new leaves again. Since they are farmed, most flower friends still use them as bonsai. So in order to ensure the beauty of the appearance, we need to trim the dragon spit beads. So today, Xiaobian will introduce you to how to trim the dragon spit beads and the pruning method of the dragon spit beads. Let's take a look!
1. When does Longtuzhu prune and want our Longtuzhu to grow a beautiful appearance? Let it grow to 15cm during cuttage or after sowing. When it grows to only 10cm away from the mouth of the basin, we can cut off branches to promote the emergence of new branches. When Longtuzhu is in the growth period, we need to strictly control the height of other branches of it, and also top and pick the heart, so that the branches it grows can be neat and beautiful, and the flowers it blooms in the future will be more beautiful. After 15 days of picking, we can spray bijiu or chlormequat to control the height of the plant, so that we can achieve the effect of short plants with luxuriant leaves and more flowers. When changing pots every spring, remember to shorten and prune the plants that grow to the ground to make the plants look rounder and have more branches and flowers.
2. How to prune Longtuzhu into a "creeper" shrub. In order to maintain the aesthetic effect of its plant, we must strictly control and prune the length of its plant. Usually when changing pots in April, branches are cut off at 10cm from the mouth of the basin to allow it to grow new branches. When turning pots in spring, it must be picked up many times to make the plant more round and have more branches and better flowers. Remove the flower stems in time after each flower wither to make the plant low and plump. Following this cutting method can make the flowers and leaves flourish, and it can also save the trouble of setting up brackets.
3. When treating Longtuzhu cut flowers as cut flowers, if you need to have more branches with thick pruned branches and thick flowers, only flower lovers who plant large areas need to pay attention to this rule. The leaves of the dragon spit beads are dark green, the calyx are like jade, and the corolla is crimson, which is very artistic. Putting potted plants at home as a decoration on the lobby balcony or bedroom is beautiful, adding a touch of greenery and vitality to your room. During storage and transportation, flowers are very sensitive to ethylene. During the first ten days of storage and transportation, a 0.4 mol/L silver thioate solution was sprayed. Flowering plants that are not sprayed with silver thioate solution are transported in dark for more than a day and can cause flower shedding if the temperature drops below 20 degrees Celsius.
4. Precautions for changing pots of Longtuzhu Generally, Longtuzhu pots are changed once every 1-2 years. The pot change time can be in early spring or after the flowers have withered. Before changing, pad the drainage holes well and add a small amount of bone meal as base fertilizer. Add new culture soil. The culture soil is prepared according to the ratio of 4:4:2 to humus soil and sand. Leave a 2-3cm hole on it for future watering and fertilization.
