What are the key points for the maintenance of Fraxinus trees?
This article introduces the key points for the maintenance of Fraxinus trees and detailed information about the characteristics and uses of green plants related to Fraxinus trees, with the following being a detailed introduction.
Fraxinus trees are plants with lush foliage that purify the air, capable of absorbing dust from the air to keep it fresh. They have certain ornamental value and can provide shade when planted in courtyards. The following are the cultivation and maintenance methods for Fraxinus trees.
I. Planting Methods
1. Soil Selection
Fraxinus trees should be planted in loose, fertile sandy soil with good drainage. The land needs to be prepared before sowing, improving any uneven, irregular, or compact soil by adding organic fertilizers and mixing with sand to enhance the soil condition.
2. Seed Sowing for Seedling Production
The sowing time for Fraxinus trees is in spring, specifically between February and March. Select plump seeds, clean them with clean water, then take them out and place them in a ventilated position to dry. Sow the seeds evenly in the soil, maintaining an even distance, covering them with soil while sowing, and keeping the thickness around 2-3 centimeters. After covering with soil, press it down to ensure the seeds are in close contact with the soil.
3. Cutting Propagation
After sowing, the Fraxinus trees start to take root and sprout, producing seedlings. Select fast-growing, disease-free shoots, cut them from the mother plant to a length of 15-20 centimeters and a diameter of 1 centimeter, then prune before inserting them into the soil and pressing down.
II. Maintenance Methods
1. Watering
When the seedlings of Fraxinus trees enter the vigorous growth stage, the watering amount needs to be increased, watering every 2-3 days, ensuring each time is thorough. In autumn, with more rainfall, attention should be paid to drainage. In summer, with high temperatures, watering is needed daily. In winter, with low temperatures, reduce the watering amount.
2. Weeding
In the growing period, weeds are prone to grow around Fraxinus tree seedlings, which absorb a lot of nutrients and hinder the growth of the seedlings. Therefore, it is necessary to clear away all the weeds to protect the healthy growth of the seedlings.
3. Temperature
Fraxinus trees have strong adaptability, able to withstand low temperatures of minus 20 degrees and high temperatures of 40 degrees. Usually, there is no need to pay attention to temperature changes, but if you want the Fraxinus trees to grow better, they can be moved to a warm room in winter.
4. Lighting
Fraxinus trees need ample sunlight during growth. In summer, when the light is strong, they should be moved to a place with diffused light indoors, while in the other three seasons, they can fully receive sunlight.
5. Fertilization
In addition to the base fertilizer applied at planting, it is necessary to apply fertilizer once a week during the growing period. Use a compound fertilizer of nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium, diluted with water and slowly poured into the potted plant. Avoid splashing fertilizer on the leaves, and if it does happen, rinse with water. Once the Fraxinus tree is fully grown, fertilization can be stopped.
6. Pruning
Prune away the sprawling and withered branches to control the plant shape and lay the foundation for future shaping. During the peak growing season, promptly cut off the new side branches to prevent excessive foliage growth, which could lead to reduced light penetration and ventilation.
The above () has introduced the key points for the maintenance of Fraxinus trees and the detailed content about the characteristics and uses of Fraxinus trees. I hope it can help you, and at the same time, I hope everyone will come to see more experience and common sense about green plants and flowers!
