How to raise the newly purchased creeper
The newly purchased Parthenocissus always makes people look forward to and worry. Can this vibrant climbing plant adapt to the new environment? As a popular species for vertical greening, the maintenance of Parthenocissus requires special attention to the management of the adaptation period. This paper will systematically analyze the key points of cultivating newly purchased plants from the transition from environment to daily maintenance. Environmental transition period treatment of key maintenance steps for newly purchased creeper 1. Resettlement and positioning: Set up independent climbing frames (more than 30cm away from the wall) to avoid planting directly against the wall. Keep the environment ventilated. In the initial stage, it is recommended to irradiate scattered light for 4 hours a day. 2. Maintain the original basin: Keep the soil from the basin for 1-2 weeks and observe the root status of the bottom drainage holes. If the soil is not hardened, wait until the new buds germinate before changing the pots. Scientific guidelines for changing the pots·Soil formula: humus soil + perlite (4:1), and lay 3 cm ceramite on the bottom to enhance drainage·Root treatment: Keep the protective soil and use a bamboo stick to gently remove 1/3 of the old soil from the outside. Planting skills: The diameter of the new pot is 5 cm larger than the original pot. After filling, gently lift the plant to stretch the root system. The intelligent watering plan implements the "three-look" principle during the adaptation period: look at the soil (the surface is 2cm dry), look at the leaves (upright), and look at the weather. 5-7 days per time in spring and autumn, 3 days per time in summer (avoiding noon), and 15 days per time in winter. The key points of the early pruning art of styling pruning are: ① Remove cross branches and weak branches ② retain 3-5 main vines ③ Top pickings Promote the formation of lateral branches, prune them once a month, maintain the shape and promote air circulation. Long-term maintenance strategy: Supplement nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium balanced fertilizers every month during the growth period, and stop fertilizer and control water during the dormant period. Pay attention to the prevention and control of red spiders (spraying azedra oil) and powdery mildew (enhancing ventilation). In winter, below-5℃, the roots need to be covered with pine needles for insulation.
Through 45-day adaptation period management, combined with scientific pruning and water and fertilizer control, your newly purchased Parthenocissus will form a three-dimensional green landscape within 3 months. Remember the nine-character formula of "slow transition, fine pruning, and water and fertilizer control" to let this natural spirit perfectly integrate into your space.
