How to prune the mountain turtle to have a shape, how to plant the mountain turtle

Mountain tortoise pruning method:

The growing season of the mountain turtle is spring, summer and autumn every year, and after winter, it stops growing and hibernates, and the vine leaves will wither.

In the Shanghai area, I spent the winter under the translucent canopy outdoors in the northern area.

It is best to keep it indoors. By the end of March of the following year, water is started and placed under the sun to root and sprout. When the vine leaves are luxuriant, you can put it outdoors, you can also put it indoors, the mountain turtle is resistant to yin and yang, the environmental adaptability is strong, many friends like to put the mountain turtle in front of the desk, the tender green leaves are very eye-catching, can relieve visual fatigue.

The mountain turtle is a climbing vine plant, friends can build a shelf for the mountain turtle according to their preferences, because the mountain turtle has a strong ability to climb vines, and can even climb to the roof (with the loofah), if you don't want to climb too high, you can prune the vine leaves by hand, in addition, do not build a shelf to let the vine leaves hang down naturally, it is also very good-looking.

The role of the mountain tortoise:

Tortoise shell. In the past, it was used for divination and sacrifices. Nowadays, because it is rich in protein colloids and calcium salts, it has become an important raw material of traditional Chinese medicine.

The boiled solid colloidal is called turtle plate gum, which has a better effect of nourishing yin and nourishing blood, and has high economic value; Among the turtles, the golden turtle and the green turtle.

It is a fine product among turtles and has important ornamental value; In addition, the turtle is a long-lived animal, known as the "turtle and crane prolonging life", as a mascot, often used as a birthday gift, has important economic value.

Root treatment: Clean the roots of the mountain turtle and place them in a well-ventilated place to dry. Potting soil preparation:

Prepare loose, aerated soils with good drainage. Plant in the soil: Plant the reverse side of the mountain turtle in the soil.

Post-maintenance: Mountain turtles are suitable for maintenance in a location with scattered light.

1. Deal with the tuber roots

Mountain tortoises are planted through underground roots, and after the roots are prepared, the soil attached to them is cleaned up, and then rinsed with water to remove bacteria or insect eggs on them, reducing the chance of being infected with pests and diseases, and finally placed in a well-ventilated place to dry.

2. Preparation of potting soil

The root system of the mountain tortoise is well developed, so it is necessary to choose deep potted planting, not shallow pot planting, and at the same time prepare loose, aerated soil, good drainage conditions, and nutrient-rich soil, which can be mixed with garden soil, humus soil, slag, and granular soil.

3. Plant into the soil

Before planting, the mountain turtle should be judged on its front and back, the reverse side is arc-shaped, and there are some roots growing, plant this side in the soil, pay attention not to bury the soil too deeply, about one-third, and then water it once to keep the soil moist.

4. Later maintenance

Mountain tortoises have a certain resistance to negativity, and can be bred in a position with scattered light for maintenance, and at the same time, during the growth of the plant, can not be watered too much, and keep the potting soil in a slightly wet state, so as to avoid the soil in a moist state for a long time, and the situation of water accumulation.

Mountain turtles need to prepare suitable pots before planting, which can provide a suitable environment for growth, its root system is more developed, so the pots should not be too shallow, and you need to choose a deeper pot. The material should ensure that it is breathable, and you can use a clay pot or a tile pot.

Mountain turtle planting has requirements for soil, like high air permeability, relatively soft soil, can not use a single garden soil, can be used humus, garden soil, slag, granular soil mixed together, can also be garden soil, peat, perlite, volcanic rock preparation, add an appropriate amount of base fertilizer, can not be directly used for planting after preparation, need to be disinfected first, remove the bacteria and eggs inside.

Mountain tortoises are planted from the tubers underneath, and it is important to judge the upper and lower layers before planting, and it is also easy for novices to get confused. The upper part has a bud point in the middle, which will be slightly concave, and it is relatively clean except for the bud point. The underside is slightly curved and has a lot of roots, which can be easily distinguished if you look closely.

Tidy up the soil, plant the mountain turtle, the bottom part is facing down, keep the soil containing water but not standing water, and do a good job of maintenance and management in the later stage.

Mountain turtles leave 1-2 main vines as well, leaving too much will consume too many nutrients, affecting the climbing vines, excess vines should be pruned in time, want it to grow vigorously, but also pay attention to the usual breeding methods:

Potting soil: Cultivate with soft, breathable, and well-drained soil, and pay attention to the proportion of soil.

Temperature: Provide an environment of 20-28 °C, cool down in summer and winter.

Watering: Use the dry and wet watering method to control the amount of water.

Illumination: Exposure to more astigmatism, and timely blocking of strong light.

First, it is better to leave a few main vines for mountain turtles.

It is better to keep 1-2 main vines for mountain turtles, but if you keep too much, you will consume too many nutrients, resulting in a poor ability to climb the vines, which will affect the overall growth. Generally, the cultivated mountain turtle leaves one main vine, and the other vines are pruned off in time to promote more concentrated nutrients and better growth of the main vine. If the cultivated mountain turtle is long, the tuber roots are thick, and the growth is vigorous, you can leave an extra main vine to promote more luxuriant branches and leaves.

In addition, if you want it to grow vigorously, you should pay attention to the usual maintenance and management of the vine to climb the vine.

Second, the breeding method of mountain turtles.

Potting soil: Mountain turtles have extremely high requirements for soil, and attention should be paid to soil during breeding. The soil must be soft, breathable and well-drained, and it is recommended to mix it with humus, garden soil and slag.

The root system of the mountain turtle is well developed, and the flower pot should be slightly deeper, and it is best to use a clay pot or a clay pot.

Temperature: Mountain turtles like a warm environment, high temperature requirements, high temperature resistance and cold tolerance are poor, summer and winter to take cooling and warmth measures. In summer, it is best to strengthen ventilation, start work below 30, and in winter, you need to move the mountain turtle indoors, especially in the cold areas of the north, and control the temperature above 5, so as to better winter.

It usually provides a 20-28 environment and it will grow more vigorously and germinate better.

Watering: The roots of the mountain turtle are large, the water stored in it is more, and the drought tolerance is relatively high, so the watering does not need to be too frequent during the breeding period, and it is best to wait for the soil to dry out before watering, keep the soil slightly wet, and it is strictly forbidden to have water accumulation. In particular, we should pay attention to the frequency of watering in winter, and keep it slightly dry as a whole to avoid rooting and rotting roots.

Light: Mountain turtles like light, tolerant of shade, afraid of direct light Li slippery fiber. It is best to maintain it in a bright place indoors, and the strong light should be blocked in time, and it should not be exposed to the sun for a long time, otherwise it will be easy to be sunburned and have various poor growth.

Although it is shade-tolerant, it should not be placed in a shaded environment for a long time, otherwise the vines are easy to grow and should be exposed to occasional astigmatism.
