As a common ornamental tree species in the southern part of China, Du Ying is widely loved for its beautiful shape and rich ecological value. During the transplantation process, many planters find that the leaves of Du Ying turn red, which not only affects the aesthetics of the trees but also brings difficulties to the maintenance work. This article will delve into the reasons for the leaves of Du Ying turning red during transplantation and provide corresponding countermeasures.
Reasons for the leaves of Du Ying turning red during transplantation1. Physiological stress response
During the transplantation process, the root system of Du Ying is damaged, leading to obstruction of water and nutrient absorption, thus triggering physiological stress responses. The leaves of Du Ying turn red as a way of self-protection for the plant.
2. Poor adaptation to the environment
After transplantation, Du Ying needs some time to adapt to the new growing environment. If the conditions such as light, temperature, and humidity differ significantly from the original growing environment, the leaves of Du Ying will turn red to adapt to the new environment.
3. Insufficient nutrient supply
During the transplantation process, the root system of Du Ying is damaged, leading to obstructed nutrient absorption. If the nutrient supply in the new soil is insufficient, the leaves of Du Ying will turn red as a warning sign for the plant itself.
4. Pest and disease infection
After transplantation, Du Ying is prone to pest and disease attacks. When the infection is severe, the leaves of Du Ying will turn red as a distress signal from the plant.
Strategies to deal with the leaves of Du Ying turning red during transplantation1. Choose a suitable transplantation time
Choosing to transplant before the peak growing period of Du Ying can reduce the plant's physiological stress response. Spring and autumn are the best periods for transplanting Du Ying.
2. Optimize transplantation techniques
During the transplantation process, pay attention to protecting the root system of Du Ying, minimize damage, and properly match the soil to ensure nutrient supply.
3. Adjust the growing environment
Adjust the growing environment such as light, temperature, and humidity according to the growth habits of Du Ying to help it adapt to the new environment as soon as possible.
4. Strengthen pest and disease control
Regularly check the growth status of Du Ying, and promptly prevent and control pests and diseases to avoid leaf reddening caused by infection.
5. Timely fertilization
During the growth process after transplantation, fertilize in a timely manner to ensure the nutrient supply of Du Ying.
The leaves of Du Ying turning red during transplantation is a physiological phenomenon of the plant adapting to a new environment. Understanding the reasons and taking corresponding countermeasures can help improve the survival rate of Du Ying transplantation and ensure its healthy growth. According to data from the "Chinese Forestry Yearbook," reasonable transplantation and maintenance of Du Ying can achieve a survival rate of over 90%.
