Can tiger lily survive after being divided
As a star plant that purifies indoor air, tiger lily is favored by gardening enthusiasts for its unique striped leaves and strong vitality. Ramet reproduction is an important way to maintain vigorous growth of plants, but how to operate correctly to ensure survival rate? This article will systematically analyze the key points of the entire process of rationing. The golden rule for ramet reproduction The best ramet timing is the key to the ramet survival rate of 90%. When the temperature stabilizes at 18-25℃ in spring and autumn, the plants are in a semi-dormant state, and the ramets have the least damage to the root system. It is necessary to avoid the high temperature period in summer (June to August), when ramets can easily lead to dehydration and death of plants, and low temperature in winter (<10℃) is not conducive to the germination of new roots. Three major taboos for rationing operations 1. Avoid rationing with flowers: a lot of nutrients will be consumed during flowering. 2. Avoid direct exposure: New plants need 7 days to slow down the seedling stage. 3. Avoid applying fertilizer immediately: Wait until the new leaves unfold before replenishing nutrients. Detailed explanation of the whole process of the rationing operation. Stop watering 3 days in advance to dry the soil. Use a gardening shovel to gently tap along the wall of the pot to relieve hardening. Wrap the base of the plant with a towel when inverting the pot to avoid damage to the leaves. For old plants with developed root systems, the "water-flushing method" can be used: soak the roots in water for 30 minutes, and rinse after the soil softens. Scientific four-step method ① Observe the natural tillering points, select the subplants with more than 3 leaves, ② Use alcohol-disinfected rose scissors to cut them ③ Keep the main root length of 8-10cm, and cut off the black rot roots ④ Use 500 times carbendazim to soak for 20 minutes for sterilization, transplanting and maintenance. It is recommended to use a mixed formula of pearlite: leaf soil: coarse sand =1:2:1. After planting, use the "basin sitting method" to replenish water: place the flowerpot in a water tray for 20 minutes, and take it out after the substrate absorbs sufficient water. Maintain the environmental humidity at 60%-70% for the first 2 weeks, and use transparent plastic bags to create a miniature greenhouse effect. If leaves wilting occur in abnormal treatment plans after rafting, the root system should be checked immediately for rot. Minor rot can be removed, applied with plant ash, and replanted. Yellowing of new leaves is usually a symptom of iron deficiency, which can be remedied by spraying 0.2% ferrous sulfate solution. Following these maintenance techniques, the divided seedlings can return to the burst state after 3 months.
