The planet, also known as Dou and Xingguan. The plant is oblate with a diameter of 5-8 cm. The sphere is divided into 6-10 oblate edges from 6-10 shallow grooves. There is no thorn, and there is white star like woolen hair on the base of thorn. The flowers are funnel-shaped, yellow, red in color, 3-4cm in diameter. Unique and beautiful appearance. So what should we pay attention to when we raise the planet?

On the illumination of the stars

The planet likes a warm and sunny environment, and we should pay attention to keep the light sufficient. Keep the temperature at least 5 ℃ in winter to prevent frostbite. Pay attention to sunscreen in summer.

Planet (Pocket) breeding method

It is often sown and grafted.

Sowing: indoor pot sowing is often used in spring, germination occurs 3-5 days after sowing, and flowering occurs 3-4 years later.

Grafting: it is carried out from May to June. It is usually used as rootstock with a ball full of flowers or a measuring ruler. The scion is seeded with seedlings, and can bloom in the second year after grafting.

Fertilization of planet (Pocket)

Fertilizer can be applied once a month in growth period.

Precautions for planet culture

On the root repairing and basin changing of pocket

Empirically, there will be no failure in changing pots between mid April and July. It takes about 40 ℃ for the roots of cuckoo to start to move (about 15 ℃ at night), which can not be reached in March. The cuckoo blooms in late February. If it changes pots with other palms in early spring, the roots will be red rot due to low temperature and humidity. This kind of failure often happened before. Why to say until July is to make the root system grow well in winter and prevent the occurrence of waist crease, the fatal injury of pocket. Once the crease occurs, although spring will return, it will happen year after year and cannot be cured completely.

The method of root pruning is to shake off the soil on the root, remove the fine root by hand, and cut off the thick root at the lower part of the sphere with a razor blade at the place of 2-3cm. Let it cool and dry for a week before planting. When repairing roots, it is necessary to confirm whether there is red rot on the cross-section of the roots, and if so, remove them completely.

Pull the bag out of the soil in the middle of February, cut off the root completely and put it in the room for drying, and plant it in the middle of March. This method can reduce the rot of the bag, but on the premise of having a greenhouse and being able to control the temperature.

On the diseases of cucurbits

bags are prone to red rot, which is not caused by bacteria and should be considered physiologically. Low temperature + insufficient sunlight + excessive humidity will inevitably lead to red rot. The root of the bag has its subtlety. It has strong resistance to the diseases caused by common bacteria, so there is no need to use fungicides.
