How to cultivate stuck crabapple
The core content of this article: How to cultivate stem crabapple and the cultivation techniques of stem crabapple potted plants, let's continue to read on!
Begonia tiedanensis is a deciduous shrub of the genus papaya in the Rosaceae family, also known as iron-footed Begonia, tiedanensis, wrinkled papaya, Sichuan papaya, Xuan papaya, etc. The flowers of Begonia tiedanensis are fresh, plump, gorgeous, and are the main spring flowers and trees in the garden. One of them can be planted in individual trees in the garden to arrange flower borders, or planted in rows as flower hedges, or used as potted plants for viewing. It is an ideal bonsai material for flower, fruit, tree stumps and bonsai. It is a good way to view flowers and fruits. Planting in clusters. It is also often used as a bonsai.
Begonia maculata is native to central and southwest China. It likes light and has a certain ability to withstand cold. Beijing can wintering in the open field in places with good microclimate. It has not strict soil requirements, but prefers thick loam soil with good drainage, and is not suitable for planting in low-lying places with stagnant water. Begonia maculata is a positive tree. It likes fertile, humid, and well-drained soil. It is warm but can withstand cold and is quite drought-resistant. It grows in the north with slightly strengthened management and can bloom every year.
1. The propagation method of crabapple: The propagation of crabapple mainly uses plant propagation, cuttage propagation, layering propagation and seed propagation.
1. Cutting propagation: Hardwood cutting is carried out between February and March in spring, with a length of 8-13 cm and a depth of about 12; tender wood cutting is carried out from June to July, and it is easier to take root by using mud cutting. When cutting in a moist sandy soil matrix, it is best to keep the temperature between 15-30℃, and pay attention to shade and moisture. Insert one-half to two-thirds of the cuttings obliquely into the sandy soil matrix, compress the soil tightly, and water it once. Cover the shade and moisturize after cutting, and you can take root quickly. Generally, the survival rate of cuttage propagation is relatively low. In order to improve the rooting rate of cuttage, plant growth hormone can be used to treat the cuttings of Camellia japonica during cuttage, which has obvious effects on promoting rooting. Commonly used growth hormones include indolebutyric acid, indoleacetic acid, naphthylacetic acid, 2,4-D, rooting powder, etc., all of which have a good effect on promoting rooting.
2. Seed reproduction: Sowing and reproduction can obtain a large number of neat seedlings, but it is not easy to maintain the original variety characteristics. Sowing of crabapple can be carried out around October in autumn. The seeds are collected after maturity, and then wrapped in wet sand for storage. Before sowing, you can soak and accelerate germination, then tidy up the sand bed, sow the seeds and cover them with the soil, gently press them tightly, and pay attention to maintenance later to promote seed germination. Sowing methods are commonly used in drill sowing, trench sowing or box sowing. After sowing, it is advisable to cover the soil so that the seeds are not visible. Cover with straw curtain or plastic film to moisturize and keep the bed soil moist. Generally, germinate in 8-10 days. After emergence, it is necessary to remove the cover in time. At the same time, the seedlings are thinned to remove weak seedlings, overgrown seedlings and miscellaneous seedlings. Keep air circulation and sufficient sunshine to allow the stem stuck crabapple seedlings to grow rapidly.
3. Plant breeding: Plant breeding methods are very commonly used, and plant breeding can be carried out in spring and autumn. Begonia maculata has strong tillering power, so you can select strong and vigorous plants in autumn or early spring, and dig out the Begonia maculata maculata plants from the flowerpot. Prepare a sharp knife and divide it from the base to ensure that there are growth nodes on each plant. After that, prepare the pot of soil, plant the divided plants separately, then pour enough water into the soil, and raise them in a semi-shaded place to slow down the seedlings. It can be planted in the spring of the following year, or it can be planted directly in a pot, and it will bloom the following year.
4. Layered propagation: Lasting can be carried out in winter or spring, and usually low-pressure and high-pressure breeding are used. Low-pressure breeding is in early spring, selecting branches close to the ground, and using a knife to girdle a 1 cm incision (The position of the incision is better so that the incision is just buried in the soil when the branch is pressed into the soil.) Just bury the incision in the soil and fix it, and press it with stones to make the branch upward so that the branch is not allowed to swing. During the planting season, peel open the pressing soil and observe, cut the batten that has already grown roots from the end near the mother plant, and separate it from the mother plant to become a planted seedling. As long as you pay attention to maintenance, you can take root in about a month and a half.
Another type of layering breeding is high-pressure breeding. Because there are not many branches close to the ground, branches at high places must be used to breed. High-pressure breeding is also called aerial layering. It is to select 2-4-year-old rattan that grows vigorously on the tree crown. At a distance of 20-30 cm from the base branch, first peel off one-half to two-thirds of the skin layer with a circular peeling method, then wrap it around the wound with fat mud to form a ball shape, and wrap it with plastic film on the outside to moisturize. The high-pressure time is generally carried out in February to March in early spring. After white roots can be seen to grow through the plastic film from August to September, the batten is sawed off from 3-5 cm below the batten wrapped around the ball. The batten removed must be immediately planted.
2. Cultivation: Begonia maculata have no strict requirements on the soil, but prefer thick loam soil with good drainage and should not be planted in low-lying places with water. Sticking crabapple can be cultivated in courtyards, parks or potted plants. Sticking crabapple stems is generally carried out in spring before the roots of the seedlings have yet to sprout. The row spacing is about 1.2 meters. It is sprinkled with root-fixing water on the day after planting. Adhere to the principle of "eliminate early, eliminate small and eliminate all" and remove weeds in a timely manner.
3. Preparation of basin soil: Formulating cultivation soil is important. Flowerpot is a special small environment. No matter which kind of soil is used alone, it cannot meet the needs of crabapple in all aspects of soil. Therefore, potted crabapple must be artificially prepared and cultivated soil to replace soil. Soil fixes the flowers in the flowerpot, and has certain water retention and drainage properties. It requires loose, fertile, good drainage and good air permeability. The crabapple has no strict requirements on soil quality, and can be slightly acidic or neutral soil. However, loose, fertile and well-drained legular soil or pastoral soil is better. Composted soil, leged soil and charcoal soil are commonly used for potted crabapple. Soil that is alkaline or sticky and easy to harden is used for potted purposes, which is not conducive to the growth of new roots, resulting in short stems and leaves, dull color, and easy to cause chlorosis. After preparing the pot soil, it is best to disinfect it at high temperature and use it, or it can be exposed to the sun for sterilization. If you plant in the open field in the courtyard, you must choose sandy loam soil with high and dry terrain and good drainage. The soil is too sticky or low-lying water is not conducive to growth and development.
4. Pot: First put broken tiles at the bottom of the flowerpot, then put some decomposed cake fertilizer, crushed bones, fish bones, chicken feathers and other basic fertilizers, then fill in the culture soil, and then put the stemmed crabapple plants into the center of the flowerpot. Stand upright, cultivate one plant in each pot. Pay attention to stretch the root system during cultivation. Fill the soil to half of the flowerpot, gently lift and shake the stemmed crabapple plants, and compress the culture soil. When planting, it should not be too deep, and keep the rhizome level with the mouth of the pot. The shallow ones will affect the survival, and the deep ones will affect the growth of the stemmed crabapple after transplantation. It is watered once after planting. After cultivation, maintain it in a shaded environment for about a week, and wait for the roots to recover and move it to a sunny place for maintenance.
5. Management and protection: The management of stemmed crabapple is relatively simple. Because its flowering is mainly short branches, the long branches need to be appropriately shortened and cut into a hemispherical shape before spring germination to stimulate the germination of more new shoots. During the summer growth period, the growing branches are also picked. During the cultivation and management process, attention should be paid to watering in the dry season and applying decomposed farmyard manure or appropriate amount of compound fertilizer once in summer. For potted flowers, you can dig suitable plants and put them in pots from September to October, place them in a cool place for maintenance for a period of time, and move them into a greenhouse at 15-20℃ after winter, often spray water on the branches, about 25 days later. It can bloom and can be used for viewing on New Year's Day and Spring Festival. Potted crabapple pots need to be placed in places with sufficient light and ventilated air. During the hot and humid season in midsummer, appropriate shade should be given to prevent scorched leaves from burning in the sun. Keep the soil in the basin moist at ordinary times, and pay attention to prevent water accumulation in the basin, otherwise the roots will easily rot.
The basin soil should not be too dry during the spring and summer growth period, especially during the flowering period, keep the basin soil with sufficient moisture. In winter, it is advisable to apply enough base fertilizer, with dry cake fertilizer or decomposed manure and bone meal being the best. During the growing period, except for the rainy season, thin fertilizer water is often applied. Trim the flowers after they wither, and cut off branches that affect the appearance, such as long branches, crossing branches, and overlapping branches, in time. After falling leaves, shaping and pruning can be carried out during the dormant period to remove diseased, withered and aging branches to maintain a certain tree shape. The pots are changed once every 2-3 years, usually after flowering in spring, and the pots can also be changed in autumn. When turning the pot, combine with pruning the root system and placing base fertilizer on the bottom of the pot.
The above-mentioned comprehensive knowledge of how to cultivate crabapple and the cultivation techniques of potted crabapple will be explained. I hope it will help you.
