Selection and breeding methods With the rapid pace of urban life, more and more people are beginning to pursue green life. Potted trees have become a popular choice for interior decoration because of their small size, easy to raise and beautiful appearance. Correct breeding of potted trees can not only beautify the home environment, but also bring peace of mind. This article will introduce you in detail the breeding methods of potted trees, from selection to maintenance, to help you create a green corner of your own. Selection 1. Understand personal preferences When selecting potted trees, you must first understand your preferences. Different potted trees have different characteristics, such as leaf viewing, flower viewing, fruit viewing, etc., and choose the right variety according to your preferences.
2. Consider the breeding environment and understand your own breeding environment, such as light, humidity, temperature, etc., and choose a potted tree that is suitable for the environment. The potted tree that likes the sun is suitable for placing in places with sufficient light such as balconies and window sills.
3. Pay attention to variety characteristics When selecting varieties, you must understand their growth habits, such as drought tolerance, shade tolerance, cold tolerance, etc., and avoid choosing varieties that are inconsistent with your own breeding environment. Cultivation method 1. Potted soil Potted soil should have the characteristics of good drainage, strong air permeability, and moderate fertility. There are special potted soil on the market, and you can also prepare it yourself. The preparation method is: mix garden soil, legular soil, and sand in a ratio of 3:2:1.
2. Watering and watering is the key to potted tree breeding. The principle of "seeing dry, seeing wet" is generally followed, that is, watering is done when the soil surface is dry. When the high temperature in summer, the number of watering can be increased appropriately; when the low temperature in winter, reduce the frequency of watering.
3. Fertilizing potted trees require sufficient nutrients during the growth process. Compound fertilizer is generally applied once a month. The amount of fertilization should not be too much to avoid root burning. During the period of vigorous growth, appropriate amounts of phosphorus and potassium fertilizers can be applied to promote flowering and fruit.
4. Illuminating potted trees require appropriate amount of light to ensure photosynthesis. Direct sunlight should be avoided in summer and light time should be increased in winter.
5. Pruning and pruning is an important part in maintaining the beautiful shape of potted trees. Timely pruning can promote plant growth and improve ornamental value. The following points should be paid attention to when pruning: (1) Cutting off sick and weak branches, dead branches, crossing branches, etc.
(2) Keep the plant in beautiful shape and avoid being too dense.
(3) Apply cutting cream in time after pruning to prevent the invasion of bacteria.
6. Pest and insect pest control Potted trees are vulnerable to pests and diseases. Pay attention to the growth status of the plants. Once pests and diseases are discovered, measures must be taken in time. Common pests and diseases include aphids, red spiders, powdery mildew, etc. The control methods are as follows: (1) Physical control: such as washing leaves with soapy water to remove pests and diseases.
(2) Biological control: use natural enemies or microorganisms to control diseases and insect pests.
(3) Chemical control: When necessary, low toxicity and low residue pesticides can be used for control.
Breeding potted trees requires patience and care. By understanding the characteristics of varieties and mastering the breeding methods, we can create a beautiful green corner at home. I hope this article can help you. I wish you success in breeding!
