Dripping Guanyin Beheading Method

Dishui Guanyin is a classic variety among leaf-viewing plants, and its reproduction and maintenance often confuses flower friends. When plants grow excessively, become sick, or need shape adjustment, beheading reproduction is an important treatment method. This article will analyze in detail the entire process from tool preparation to post-maintenance through professional illustrations. 1. Preparation for the early stage of beheading and breeding 1.1 Selection of venue and tool Select a well-ventilated operating space, which is recommended to carry out in the courtyard or balcony. Prepare sharp gardening scissors (blade length of more than 15cm) to ensure that the incision is flat and reduces the risk of infection. The new flowerpot should be 5 cm larger than the original pot, and a 3:1 mixture of peat soil and perlite should be prepared. 1.2 Plant pretreatment Stop watering 3 days in advance to dry the pot soil, which is conducive to removing the pot. Check the lignification degree of stems, select a beheading position 10-15cm from the base, and mark the yellow warning line area. 2. Scientific beheading operation process 2.1 Standardize the pot removal technique by tapping the pot soil along the pot wall to loosen the pot soil, and tilt it 45° to slowly remove the plants. Keep the protective soil around the main root, cut off the black rotten roots, and retain healthy white roots. 2.2 The key points of disinfection treatment are soaked in 1000 times carbendazim solution to ensure that the incision is completely submerged. The concentration needs to be increased by 50% in summer and reduced to 1500 times in winter. After soaking, place it in a cool and ventilated place to dry for 12 hours to form a protective film. 3. Construction of intelligent maintenance system 3.1 Hydroponics and soil transfer techniques Use transparent containers for hydroponics, and the water level immerses the stems 2- 3 cm. Change water and add rooting powder every 3 days, and transfer to soil culture when the new roots grow to 5 cm. After planting, pour thoroughly with root-fixing water and cover it with plastic wrap to maintain humidity. 3.2 The environmental control plan maintains a constant temperature environment of 20-25℃, and the light intensity is controlled at 8000-10000lux. Adopt the "see dry and wet" watering method, combined with leaf and surface fertilizer spraying, to promote the germination of new buds.

Through systematic beheading operations, not only sick and weak plants can be saved, but also geometrically reproduced can be achieved. The key is to pay attention to thorough disinfection and environmental control. The survival rate of new strains can reach more than 90%. It is recommended to carry out beheading renewal every 2 years to maintain the vitality of the plants.
