In fact, the cultivation of Ping'an tree at home does not involve the choice of pot soil, but you need to know what kind of pot soil is suitable for the growth of Ping'an tree, so you will not be cheated by the merchants when you buy it.
The best choice for the soil is loose and fertile, well drained and rich in organic acid soil. You can pinch the soil with your hands, with more particles, and loose soil. There are many soil powders in some soils, and long-term water irrigation can easily lead to soil hardening, which can not be selected.
The flowerpot is not too big. According to the size of the plant, it can meet the growth of Ping'an tree. As for the material, do not choose the lighter plastic basin, it is easy to explode.
All plants need sunlight for photosynthesis to ensure rapid growth. As a light loving plant, the leaves of Ping'an tree will give off metallic luster in sunny environment. But at the same time, they are also afraid of exposure to the sun. In summer, they should be shaded in time under the hot sun, or put in a position with poor indoor sunshine.
The requirements of light for plants with different growth time are also different. Grow for 3-5 years, with proper sunshine and avoid exposure to the sun. 6-10 years, avoid exposure to the sun. That is to say, the older the trees, the more sunshine they need.
Spring and autumn are the growth period. Keep the basin soil moist and spray water on the leaf frequently to ensure enough air humidity. The amount of water in winter is halved.
In addition, in the process of watering, a small amount of ferrous sulfate solution can be added to the water, especially in the northern region, to adjust the pH of the soil.
Ping'an trees prefer fertilizer. Compound fertilizer is applied once a month in the growing season, and P and K fertilizer is applied after the weather turns cool in autumn to increase the cold resistance of Ping'an trees. Stop applying fertilizer in winter.
In the process of fertilization, if the leaves turn yellow and fall off, it is due to improper fertilization that causes root necrosis. Water or take the plant out of the basin for emergency treatment.
When the branches and leaves of Ping'an are too thick, they can be cut in April when the weather is sunny. It is suggested that the long branches should be cut short, the diseased branches and the thin branches should be cut off to increase the light transmittance of the plant. When pruning, it should be noted that a certain distance should be kept between the cutting mouth and the shoots to avoid the branches from wilting after pruning.
In addition, when the plant type is small, it can be used to remove the heart and promote multiple branches.
Ping'an tree is usually planted in large pots with large plants (except for small bonsai). It is recommended to loosen the soil once a month to ensure that the pot soil is in a loose state. When loosening the soil, it is important to use tools to turn over without breaking the root system.
Small Ping'an trees change basins every year, and large Ping'an trees change basins every two to three years. When changing basins, 1 /3 of the old soil will be replaced, and the necrotic roots will be cut off to ensure the normal growth of Ping'an trees.
The cutting time of Ping An tree is generally from April to may in the first half of the year, from September to October in the second half of the year, and the temperature is 22-28 ℃.
Preparation materials: prepare the flower pot for cutting, the soil can choose pure vermiculite, and the rooting is faster. Disinfect the soil before cutting.
Branch selection: you can cut healthy branches of Ping'an tree, preferably in the morning with dew or cloudy days. Keep 10-15cm branches and 2-3 leaves. Or combined with pruning, cutting with cut branches.
Cutting method: immerse the bottom of the branch in rooting agent for 2-3 hours, and then directly insert it into the soil. 4 days later, water once to ensure sufficient humidity, in the morning and in the evening, appropriate light can be added, and about 25 days can take root. After 1-2 months, when the root length reaches 5-6cm, it can be potted and planted.
Out of the house: before and after the Qingming Festival, move the safety tree to the outdoor for breeding. At the end of spring and the beginning of summer, the basin soil should be properly shaded to keep moist without ponding.
Disease prevention: it is a process of environmental mutation from indoor to outdoor. During this period, Ping'an tree may have an inadaptable response due to the change of environment. Various diseases and insect pests breed. Observe the growth of leaves in time. Spray Bordeaux solution every half a month for prevention. Remove the diseased leaves in time.
Shade: the first thing to do in summer is to shade. A bright scattering light will do. If there is no condition for outdoor maintenance, it can be placed in the air-conditioned room, but it needs to be moved to outdoor for restorative maintenance every month, gradually increasing the light.
Spray water: the temperature is high in summer. When the temperature is over 32 ℃, spray water to the leaves frequently, clean the leaves and ensure a certain humidity, so as to maintain a vigorous growth.
Insect control: in summer, there will be curly leaf insects on the leaves of Ping'an trees in the high incidence period of insect damage. Spray chemicals in time.
Water control: reduce the amount of water to be poured after the temperature drops, but spray water around the environment frequently. Rain can be appropriate, but to ensure that the basin soil does not water.
Topdressing: when the temperature drops to 15 ℃, it is necessary to topdressing 0.2% ~ 0.3% potassium dihydrogen phosphate solution twice continuously to enhance the cold resistance of plants and ensure their safe winter.
Heat preservation: the small plants of Ping'an tree are not cold resistant (the large plants are slightly cold resistant), and they need to enter the room in time, and the winter temperature shall not be lower than 5 ℃.
Water control: in winter, water should be controlled to keep the soil in a dry state. If the indoor temperature is high, it can be watered once a month. Stop applying fertilizer in any form to avoid damaging roots.
If the trees are cultured outdoors, proper rain can promote their growth. However, if it is larger than that, it is necessary to check whether the basin soil has accumulated water in time, drain water in time and loosen the soil.
The branches and leaves of Ping'an are dense. During the growing period, the leaves are easy to turn yellow and dry. Spray chemicals in time to avoid serious disease. In addition, it should be noted that there may be rotten roots when the leaves turn yellow. When there is no change in spraying, check the roots in time and deal with them accordingly.
Crazy y, crazy, crazy, crazy, crazy question: help me to see what happened to my Ping An tree. It's been more than two months since I bought it, and I haven't seen any new leaves.
Slow basin for a month, adapt to a month, just in time for the current temperature is not the best temperature for growth. After autumn, you'll grow crazy. Don't worry!
YUEWU Yunxi's question: my family's peace tree has grown like this. Is there any help?
Of course, first cut off the yellow leaves. Secondly, find out the causes of yellowing, pests, improper watering, improper fertilization, exposure to the sun, sultry environment, etc., analyze one by one, and make corresponding treatment. If you don't know the specific reasons, here are the detailed reasons and solutions for the yellow leaves of Ping An tree.
Charm Changle's question: the Ping'an tree bought two years ago is put by the window. It's sunny, but it doesn't grow long. The shopkeeper says that watering can't be done too often, so it has been kept alive till now. But there are no leaves!
Money Tree like water. They can grow fast only when they have enough water and sunshine. There should be no problem with the sunshine of this Ping'an tree, but the water and fertilizer are obviously insufficient. If the environment is relatively open, spray water every day to ensure that the leaves are clean and bright; water once every 10-15 days, except in winter; water a little ferrous sulfate solution into the soil every month. Soon the glossiness of the leaves will come up, and the leaves will grow slowly.
But now it is summer, the temperature is higher, the growth speed of Ping'an tree is slower, and there will be obvious changes in autumn.
