How to raise desmodium Precautions for desmodium breeding

Desmodium, also known as Lianqian grass, is currently widely distributed in southern China and other places. Desmodium has certain ornamental and medicinal value, so it is deeply loved by consumers. It is possible to use both soil culture and hydroponics to cultivate desmodium, but most people will choose soil culture.

When you breed desmodium, you need a lot of water, and you have enough water to make desmodium grow.

1. Increase light: Desmodium itself has a demand for light, and is usually placed in a place of astigmatism for maintenance, but in winter, the intensity of sunlight is small, which can provide full sunlight and be placed on the south-facing balcony, which can absorb sunlight to promote growth and increase the temperature of the plant itself.

2. Maintain temperature: Desmodium can't tolerate the cold in winter, so you must pay attention to keeping warm, you can't put it outdoors for wintering, you need to move it indoors, and the temperature should be kept above 10 degrees Celsius as much as possible, and the minimum temperature should not be lower than 0 degrees Celsius.

3. Reduce watering: It usually requires a lot of water during maintenance, but in winter the growth rate slows down significantly, and the demand for water is reduced, so it needs to be extra controlled in terms of watering, and the appropriate amount of watering can keep the potting soil moist, and you must not water too much.

4. Change to soil culture: If it is a desmodium protected by hydroculture, if the indoor temperature is low, in order to avoid frostbite, it can be changed to half water and half soil maintenance, or directly changed to soil culture, which can reduce the possibility of frost damage.

5. Reduce fertilization: The growth rate slows down in winter, so it is necessary to reduce fertilization and extend the time interval of fertilization.

6. Precautions, although the desmodium should be moved indoors in winter, if there is heating or air conditioning indoors, it needs to be avoided and cannot be placed in front of the heating or air conditioning.

Money grassland name horseshoe gold, presumably everyone is no stranger to this plant, many friends may have planted, its bonsai is very beautiful, yellow flowers are very cute. SoHow to raise desmodiumOkay? Below we will bring you the cultivation method of desmodium, hoping to provide you with help.

How to raise desmodium

1. Planting: Take a pot with no hole at the bottom, put a layer of 2cm mud at the bottom of the pot, or spread small colored stones in the basin. Take some stalks of desmodium and put them on top of the mud, if it is desmodium shaved in liquid, and then cover with a small layer of mud.

Add water to the basin, and the water surface is 1cm lower than the edge of the basin.

2. Watering: Desmodium does not need to be watered too much, but it is necessary to keep the water in the pot not dry, and it is best to change the water once a week.

3. Fertilization: Desmodium is not very particular about fertilizer, put compound fertilizer once a week, dissolve the compound fertilizer in water, add water to the pot together, pay attention to fertilizer water do not water on the leaves.

4. Light: Desmodium likes a sunny environment, if the light is insufficient, its leaves are easy to rot, it is best to let it receive more than 4 hours of scattered sunlight every day. And when the light is strong in the early mountains, the plants begin to grow horizontally, and when the light is weak, the plants begin to grow upwards.

So let it shine in every direction and avoid high temperatures.

5. Temperature: Desmodium is low temperature tolerant, grows well in the temperature range of 16 24, and the overwintering temperature should not be lower than 5. When the water temperature exceeds 30, the growth of the plant will be inhibited.

6. Pruning: Desmodium should be cut off frequently, some leaves that are too crowded can be cut off or repotted, generally about three months, because the roots in the pot grow too crowded, the water is easy to dry, and the desmodium is easy to malnutrition, transplant the overly dense desmodium into another pot, so that it will not affect the growth of desmodium.

7. Pests and diseases: the main insect pests are clams and snails that bite the stems and leaves, and can be watered with 1000 times of 90% crystal trichlorfon; Or sprinkle with 8% snail kill granules or more than 10% polyacetaldehyde granules, 1.5 grams per square meter, or 1.5 kilograms per mu, sprinkled in the evening on a sunny day, can kill adult insects or young snails.

The above is how to raise the desmodium brought to you? The whole content of the cultivation method of Desmodium.

The cultivation methods of desmodium are divided into the cultivation method of the false grip and the cultivation method of cuttings

Then there is soil selection: Desmodium should be planted in fertile sandy loam soil and shady and moist plots, and can also be cultivated sporadically in idle and shady wetlands such as the corner of the house and the edge of the pond dam ditch.

The second is the cutting method: on the prepared furrow surface, open a shallow furrow at each centimeter on both sides of the furrow surface for strip planting, the depth of the furrow is 6 to 8 cm, and each furrow is planted in 2 rows. Rent in the shallow ditch that has been opened, cut cuttings according to the plant spacing of 10 cm, 2 to 3 sections of human soil, cover with a layer of thin soil after planting, gently compact, and water the roots.

Seed cultivation method can be directly planted in the soil of the pot to breed, the soil should be kept loose and fertile, and there should be good air permeability and water permeability, as long as it is watered enough water during the usual breeding, into the moderate sunlight, it can grow normally.

Both of these methods are able to raise great desmodium. However, because the seeds of desmodium are small, not easy to collect, and the seedlings grow slowly, most people use cuttings to cultivate them.

Things to pay attention to when cultivating desmodium are:

If it is early in the morning after cuttings, it is necessary to water frequently to protect the seedlings, and water once a day to promote rooting and survival. When the cuttings send out new leaves, it is necessary to water light rotting mature human and animal manure water, and apply 30-40 quintals per mu. When the stems and vines grow to 12-15 cm, top dressing is carried out once, and 50 quintals of manure and urine are applied to the mu.

If there is a lack of seedlings in the planting hole, cut a longer cuttings to replenish the seedlings.

After each harvest in summer and autumn, top dressing should be carried out once to fully meet the nutrients required for plant growth and ensure high and stable yield.

The main insect pests in the cultivation of desmodium are clams and snails biting the stems and leaves, which can be watered with 1000 times of 90% crystalline trichlorfon, or sprinkled with 8% snail granules or 10% paraacetaldehyde granules.

The ornamental value of desmodium is very high, so how to raise desmodium, you need to prepare loose soil, put it in the astigmatism to breed, maintain the moisture of the soil, but also provide it with sufficient nutrients, when the temperature is too high, spray water around to cool down, when the temperature is too low, put it in the room temperature control at more than 5, spraying can be seeded, cuttings two methods of propagation.

Desmodium does not have high requirements for soil, it needs to grow in loose, breathable and well-drained soil, we can choose to use humus, garden soil, river mud in accordance with the ratio of 5:3:2 mix as a substrate, need to loosen the soil every 20 days or so.

Desmodium likes to grow in a moist, half-shaded and half-sunny environment, and usually cannot put it in direct sunlight, especially in summer, it is best to place it in a scattered place to breed, and in summer it can be cultivated in a cool place, and in winter it can be given full sun exposure to help desmodium overwinter.

Usually desmodium needs to provide it with a lot of water, spring and autumn can be watered once in 1 2 days, in summer every day in the morning and evening, when the temperature is too high, it is necessary to spray water around, in winter you need to control the amount of watering, you can water every 4 5 days, and stop watering on rainy days.

Desmodium has a relatively large demand for nutrients, it needs to be applied diligently with thin fertilizer, in the season when it grows vigorously, it can be applied every 10 15 days with compound fertilizer, or organic fertilizer, the temperature is too high in summer, too low in winter, and the desmodium will enter the dormant period without fertilization.

Desmodium is suitable for growing at a temperature of 20 25, when the temperature is higher than 35 in summer, it needs to be sprayed with water around to cool down, and when it is lower than 5 in winter, it will frostbite the plant, and it needs to be placed indoors to control the temperature above 5 to help Desmodium safely overwinter.

(1) Sowing and propagating

Desmodium can be propagated in spring and autumn, the seeds of desmodium are more difficult to collect, we can buy seeds directly on the market, sprinkle the seeds on the soil, spray some water appropriately, cover a layer of plastic film, maintain the humidity of the soil and air, and control the temperature at about 20.

(2) Propagation by cuttings

Desmodium is very adaptable, we can pick 3 5 healthy shoots from a desmodium plant, keep the leaves at the top end of the branches, wait for the wound to heal, then take cuttings in suitable soil to keep the soil moist, and wait for the shoots to take root and sprout.

Soil: Soil culture of desmodium needs to choose soil with drainage, air permeability, and sufficient nutrients; Hydroponics is planted in mud and poured with water. Lighting:

It is best to breed desmodium in full light, but not too hot. Pruning: If you don't like flowering, cut off the flower buds before flowering.

Watering: In the case of hydroponics, the height of the water level can be controlled at one centimeter from the bottom of the container; Soil culture can be watered in moderation, as long as there is no water accumulation.

1. Soil: The best way to breed desmodium is soil culture, because the nutrients contained in soil culture will be higher, and the soil selected for soil culture should have a certain degree of drainage, air permeability and rich nutrients. In the case of hydroponics, we can first cultivate desmodium in mud, then spread a layer of pebbles on the surface and slowly pour water along the edge of the container.

2. Light: Desmodium has a relatively large demand for sunlight, so it is best to breed it in an all-light environment, which is more conducive to its growth. However, it should be noted that if the sun is too hot, you need to take some shading measures to prevent the leaves of Desmodium from turning yellow.

However, if there is not enough light, it will also slow down the growth of desmodium leaves.

3. Pruning: Although the flowers of desmodium are not large, they consume a lot of nutrients, so before it blooms, we need to prune off the branches that are too dense and withered to preserve nutrients, which is beneficial to its flowering, even if the flowers of desmodium have no ornamental value. Of course, if you don't like it to bloom, you can also prune the flower buds directly.

4. Watering: If it is hydroponic desmodium, then as long as the water level is controlled, one centimeter higher than the bottom of the container is the best. And its requirements for water quality are not high, ordinary groundwater tap water can be.

In the case of soil culture, as long as the soil is kept moist, but there should be no stagnant water.

If you like bonsai, then keeping some desmodium at home will not only make you feel refreshed, but also bring you good luck if desmodium grows well. So, do you know how to farm desmodium? Let's take a look.

01 Desmodium is generally cultivated in water, so we must pay attention to the choice of water quality, usually desmodium needs to grow in the water body between the pH value, so that the acidity and alkalinity will not produce a large deviation, so as not to affect the growth of desmodium.

02 Moreover, it should be noted that desmodium is not suitable for direct use of mineral water for aquaculture, and it is generally better to use ordinary groundwater, and its growth will be more vigorous.

03 In addition, there is a temperature limit for desmodium, if the temperature of the environment in which it grows exceeds 30 degrees Celsius, then it is likely to stop growing, and even die due to high water temperature. It is recommended that it is best to let the desmodium grow in an environment around 16 to 25 degrees Celsius.

04 Although desmodium likes to grow in water, it also needs sunlight, but the intensity and frequency of sunlight do not need to be very high, basically just bask in the sun once a week.
