Analysis of the market price of Fortune Tree seedlings The prices of Fortune Tree seedlings on the market are concentrated in the range of 3-10 yuan, which is mainly affected by three factors: first, the height of the seedlings is the core indicator. Usually, the basic seedlings with a height of 10-15cm are about 3 yuan, and the 20-25cm strong seedlings can reach 8 yuan; secondly, the price of woven or combined potted plants with special shapes will increase by 30%; finally, differences in regional consumption levels will also cause price fluctuations of 1-2 yuan. It is recommended to choose high-quality seedlings with bright leaves and no damage to stems. Although the unit price is slightly higher, the survival rate is more guaranteed. The key steps of selecting pots and matching soil in the four-step process of cultivating potted trees are recommended to use clay pots or purple sand pots, with a diameter of 5 cm larger than the root ball. The soil formula can be formulated according to the ratio of humus soil: coarse river sand: perlite =5:3:2, and a small amount of bone meal can be added as base fertilizer. This mixed matrix not only retains water and air permeability, but also provides a slightly acidic environment to effectively prevent root rot. Seedling handling skills After unpacking the seedling bag, you need to carefully check the root system: cut off the black and rotten fibrous roots and keep the main root length of 8-10cm. Soak in 800 times carbendazim solution for 20 minutes to disinfect, air until the roots are slightly dry, and then put on the pot. If the branches and leaves are too dense, cut off 1/3 of the leaves to reduce the water evaporation pressure. Scientific planting methods first place 3 cm of ceramite on the bottom of the basin as a drainage layer, fill in 1/3 of the culture soil, and then place the plants to ensure that a distance of 2 cm is maintained between the root neck and the edge of the basin. When filling soil, gently lift the plant to stretch the root system and compress the soil in layers. Finally, slowly pour root-fixing water along the edge of the pot and place it in a cool and ventilated place to slow down the seedlings. Daily maintenance key points: Keep scattered light irradiation during the slow seedling stage, and gradually increase the light after 15 days. Maintain the environmental temperature of 18-25℃ during the growth period and no lower than 10℃ in winter. Watering should be based on the principle of "seeing dry, seeing wet", once a week in spring and autumn, and once every 3 days in summer with foliar spray. Apply diluted leaf viewing plant nutrient solution every two months.
Cultivating the seedlings of Fortune Tree requires patience and skill. From careful observation during the seedling selection stage to scientific management after planting, every link affects the growth of the plant. Mastering the correct maintenance methods and matching appropriate environmental conditions, even novices can cultivate luxuriant green plants, adding vitality and beautiful meaning to the room.
