First, four propagation methods of the rich tree
1, sowing and breeding
Fortune trees often bloom in April-May and bear fruit in September-65438+10. After the seeds are taken out, they need to be sown immediately, and it doesn't take long. Sowing is one of the ways to multiply the tree of wealth. Sow the seeds on the surface of the pot soil, then cover with 3 ~ 4 cm thin soil and pour water to keep the pot soil moist. It usually germinates after a week.
2. Cutting
As long as the temperature is suitable, the felling of rich trees can be carried out all year round. Select a robust old branch from the tree plant, about 20cm in length, and then remove all the leaves at the bottom of the branch, only the upper two leaves are needed. Then insert the cuttings into the soil to a depth of 15cm. After cutting, pour enough water and put it in a ventilated and cool place to take root after 2 ~ 3 months.
3. Grafting propagation
Grafting propagation of rich trees suitable for variegated varieties can ensure the excellent characteristics of varieties. Generally, grafting is usually carried out in August-September. The rootstock is a 2-year-old rich sapling, and the scion is a flowering 1 year-old robust branch. Cut off all the leaves of the scion, keep two buds, and cut one knife on each side of the lower end of the bud.
The rhizome was cut from 40 cm away, and a knife was cut vertically in the middle of the section in the countryside. Then insert the scion into the gap of the rootstock, and then put a film bag on the place where the scion is planted, so that new buds can grow one month later.
4. Tissue culture and propagation
As for how to breed rich trees, in fact, tissue culture is also a way to breed rich trees. Tissue culture seedlings of Facaishu grow more vigorously than ordinary seedlings, with higher survival rate and more lush branches and leaves. General tissue culture is often used for large-scale propagation of rich trees and is suitable for industrial production.
Tissue culture and propagation method: wash Nostoc flagelliforme seeds with a small amount of detergent to remove surface dust, then rinse them repeatedly with distilled water, disinfect them with 70% alcohol for 2 minutes, rinse them with sterile water for 3 times after taking them out, and it is best to inoculate the sterilized seeds in sterile proliferation medium for culture.
Seeds germinate at 7 ~ 10℃, induce into callus at 15 ~ 20℃, induce callus to differentiate into tufted buds at about 30℃, then subculture the tufted buds in the culture medium, and finally inoculate the seedlings in the rooting medium, and transplant the seedlings after growing at 7 ~ 10℃.
Second, matters needing attention in the cultivation of the God of Wealth tree
1, water properly
The roots of the rich tree have very good water storage capacity, so the plants are also relatively drought-tolerant, so you should pay attention to watering at ordinary times, which should be dry and not wet. In the rainy season, water should be prevented from being sprayed. When the weather is fine, you can spray more water on the branches and leaves. Especially in summer, the temperature is high and the water transpiration is fast, so it is necessary to plant trees on branches and leaves frequently to improve the humidity. In winter, you need to water less gradually.
2. Plenty of light
Although the rich tree is shade-tolerant, its growth also needs sufficient light. However, you can't let the rich tree be exposed to strong light and split its hoof, otherwise it will be prone to yellow leaves drying up. If the light is strong, it needs to be maintained in a semi-shady or scattered place. Except in summer, it can receive full light all year round.
Third, applying nitrogen fertilizer frequently can make the rich trees flourish.
Many flower lovers do not pay much attention to the fertilization of foliage plants, and often think that foliage plants do not need fertilization. In fact, the growth of any plant needs to consume nutrients, and so does the rich tree. Generally speaking, spring is the peak of the growth of new branches of rich trees.
In order to prevent poor growth caused by insufficient nutrients, nitrogen fertilizer can be applied to trees once a month, such as Trim high-nitrogen water-soluble fertilizer, which can supplement nutrients for plants, promote plant growth, sprout new branches and leaves, and make the expanded branches of plants grow stronger, thus improving ornamental value.
