How to develop an old pile
Peach eggs have become a popular variety in the meat industry due to their pink and round leaves. Cultivating peach eggs into ancient and simple piles or elegant cliff piles can not only enhance the ornamental value, but also demonstrate the skill level of the grower. This article will systematically explain the cultivation tips of two classic shapes from basic soil matching to modeling techniques. The core element of cultivating peach egg old piles should be the ratio of pots and substrates to select a high-thin pottery pot with a foot bottom, and the diameter of the pot mouth should be about 5 cm less than the crown width of the plant. The matrix adopts a gold ratio: 1/3 of the bottom layer is laid with a ceramsite drainage layer, and 2/3 of the upper layer is mixed with 30% peat soil +70% multi-component particulate soil. It is recommended to combine red jade soil, medical stone, and volcanic rock in a ratio of 1:1:1 to ensure water permeability and ventilation. The lighting and water control strategy ensures 6 hours of direct light every day, and full sunshine maintenance can be carried out in spring and autumn. The "fold observation method" is used to control water, and water is slowly supplied along the basin edge when there is slight fold in the middle layer leaves. Maintain an environment above 10℃ in winter, and coordinate the temperature difference between day and night of 10℃ to stimulate lignin precipitation. The disease prevention system uses carbendazim solution to irrigate roots every month to prevent root rot, and regularly inspect stems for black spots. Black rot is found immediately beheaded and healthy stem sections are retained for re-cuttage. To maintain ambient air circulation, add circulating fans during the plum season. Advanced techniques for peach egg cliff pile modeling gravity traction shaping method Select a long plant of more than 15cm, tie it to the top with cotton thread and hang heavy objects. The initial weight is recommended to be 50g, and increase by 20g every two weeks until it sags naturally. The operation should be carried out during the spring and autumn growing season, and the hanging angle should be adjusted at 15° per week. Natural hanging cultivation places the plant on an elevated edge and guides the stem to droop naturally through phototaxis. Rotate the flowerpot 180° every half of the month, and cooperate with pinching treatment to promote the growth of side buds, forming a multi-level waterfall shape. The excessive length control balance technique moderately reduces the light time to 4 hours a day, and restores full sunshine after the stalks lengthen. Use caution when using chlormequat. It is recommended to spray it on the leaves after diluting it 3000 times, no more than twice a month.
Cultivating peach egg shaped piles requires both patience and skill. Mastering the three core elements of substrate ratio, environmental control, and modeling techniques, and cooperating with regular observation and adjustment, even novices can cultivate artistic piles with great ornamental value within 2-3 years. It is recommended to replace the substrate and prune the aging roots every spring to continue to inject growth vitality into the plants.
