Bamboo Joint crabapple cultivation methods
This article provides an introduction to the knowledge of cultivating Bamboo Joint crabapple at home for netizens, detailing the cultivation methods as follows:
Bamboo Joint Begonia is a shallow-rooted plant that prefers semi-shade, moisture, and warmth. It is not cold-resistant, dislikes strong sunlight, heat, and waterlogging, with an optimal growth temperature of 15°C to 25°C. It has strong drought resistance, dislikes water accumulation, and prefers loose and fertile sandy loam soil. The watering principle is to water when the soil is dry and damp.
Fertilizer is an essential element for plant growth. Fertilizing should be done by hoeing the potting soil when it is dry, and watering after fertilizing helps the plant absorb it. Avoid applying excessive fertilizer when the stems and leaves are not vigorous or when the pot has been recently repotted. During the vigorous growth period in spring, apply a thin liquid fertilizer every 10 to 15 days. In the summer high-temperature season, when the plant stops growing, reduce fertilizing. Fertilizing should be paused during the blooming period and winter.
Increasing the duration of sunlight is beneficial for Bamboo Joint Begonia, which enjoys shade and dislikes strong sunlight. It is suitable for cultivation in a south-facing阳台 year-round. In spring, autumn, and winter, it should be given ample sunlight. In summer, avoid strong sunlight to prevent the leaves from turning yellow and slow growth.
Strengthening plant pruning helps maintain a good shape. For plants that have been growing for many years, or those that have grown too tall, or have lost leaves at the bottom of the stems, causing an unattractive appearance and affecting the ornamental effect, pruning can be done in conjunction with potting in spring to encourage the plant to produce new branches and more bright flowers.
For pest and disease control, a comprehensive prevention and integrated control principle should be implemented. Under hot and humid weather, Bamboo Joint Begonia is prone to pests and diseases. To prevent pests and diseases, first, enhance ventilation and avoid overly moist potting soil, and never allow waterlogging. Secondly, spray a fungicide every half month, such as methyl thiophanate or carbendazim, to prevent disease occurrence. If red spider mites are detected, spray 1500 times the solution of trichlorfon.
