Cultivation methods and precautions for spring grass
Spring grass is favored by gardening enthusiasts because of its unique spiral leaves. This succulent plant not only has ornamental value, but also its breeding process is more interesting. This article will systematically analyze the growth habits and maintenance points of spring grass to help growers master all skills from basic maintenance to advanced management. Spring grass core maintenance elements Light and temperature control Spring grass has typical photoperiod characteristics. Spring grass needs to ensure 4-6 hours of direct light per day in spring, autumn and winter, and 50% sunshade net is used for protection in summer. Temperature management follows the principle of "warm winter and cool summer." Maintaining 12-18℃ in winter can maintain growth activity. In summer, fans need to be cooperated to strengthen ventilation if it exceeds 32℃. The matrix ratio plan recommends using a mixed matrix of volcanic rock: red jade soil: humus soil =3:3:4, and adding 5% bone meal as the base fertilizer. When replacing basin soil every two years, bamboo charcoal particles can be added to improve drainage and ensure smooth root breathing. The water and fertilizer management cycle adopts the "alternating dry and wet" watering method, watering once a week in spring and autumn, and slightly replenishing water every 20 days during the summer dormant period. During the growth period, potassium dihydrogen phosphate solution diluted 1:1500 is applied every month, and slow-release fertilizer granules are applied every spring. Advanced management skills for spring spring grass propagation technical points, seed reproduction requires selecting cross-pollinated fruits, and soaking them in warm water at 40℃ for 6 hours before sowing. Strain breeding should be carried out in autumn, retaining 3-5 fibrous roots, applying carbendazim powder to the wound and placing it on the pot. Pest and pest control focus on controlling root mealybugs, and you can regularly irrigate azedra oil solution. When rust spots appear on the leaves, spray 800 times of mancozeb solution in time and treat it continuously for 3 times at an interval of 5 days. Modeling and pruning art prunes the yellow outer leaves in March every year to retain the central growth point. By rotating the flowerpot to control the direction of light receiving, a more obvious ornamental shape with spiral patterns can be created.
Mastering the growth rhythm of spring grass is the key to successful breeding. It is recommended to establish a maintenance log to record changes in temperature and humidity. Regular observation of leaf curl can determine the state of the plant. Under an ideal breeding environment, mature plants can form a perfect spiral shape with a diameter of 25cm, becoming the visual focus of indoor green plant landscape.
