How to make podocarpus grow more new shoots, what to do if podocarpus does not sprout?

When podocarpus sprouts, apply the right fertilizer to make the plants grow denser and greener.

When the branches grow into lignification, multi-branched shoots can grow.

1. Re-select and process branches.

When we choose the branches, we should choose the lignified shoots. The length needs to be about 15 cm, and then the branches on the podocarpus are cut off, leaving only 1 3. Generally, only a few small leaves at the top of this piece need to be saved.

Then soak the branches in water to form a solution, and after the branches have absorbed the nutrients, the branches are cut into the selected pots. Or first put carbendazim in soaking and sterilization, prepare the medium for cultivation, and choose vermiculite is the best. After soaking, dip some rooting powder and transfer to the prepared medium.

2. Change the pot and soil.

Be sure not to use white porcelain pots, although this kind of flower pots are very beautiful in appearance, but the air permeability is very poor, which is not conducive to the growth of podocarpus. It is best to use terracotta pots, which are highly breathable and conducive to the respiration of plant roots. In the peak growing season of podocarpus, we can use some auxiliary materials such as moss and spread them on the pots, which can have a good moisturizing effect.

3. Scientific watering.

When watering podocarpus, it is necessary to control not only the amount of water, but also the interval of watering. The cold tolerance of podocarpus is outstanding, so you don't need to water too much when you maintain it on weekdays, you can water it thoroughly at one time.

4. Adjust the temperature.

The temperature at which podocarpus grows is around 20 is the most suitable. In the cold winter, podocarpus generally enters a dormant state, but the indoor temperature must be above 5 degrees, if it is lower than 5, podocarpus will be frozen. In this way, when spring comes, the appearance of its growth will not be beautiful.

And if the temperature is too cold, it will also cause some sickness or no germination in podocarpus.

5. Pay attention to fertilization.

Podocarpus seedlings have 3 opportunities to germinate in a year, between April and November, after the winter is cold, podocarpus slowly dormant, adult trees generally only twice, once in spring and once in autumn, mainly growing fast in spring. Therefore, it is recommended that podocarpus seedlings be watered with nutrient solution every half a month between April and November, mainly with nitrogen fertilizer, so that they can grow quickly and grow skeleton, of course, they can grow faster with organic fertilizer in spring and autumn, because podocarpus does not like thick fertilizer. Fertilization is not required in winter.

Podocarpus sprouts twice a year, respectively in May in spring and December in winter, and the temperature should be kept between 18-25 degrees during the winter germination period to avoid frostbite of young shoots.

Podocarpus sprouts twice a year, respectively in May in spring and December in winter, the spring temperature is more suitable, there is no need to take warm measures after germination, and the young shoots can also grow healthily, but the winter temperature is low, and the temperature should be kept at 18-25 degrees after germination to avoid frostbite and blackening of young buds.

If you want to make podocarpus germinate more, you should take the method of pressing branches and topping, choose slender branches with sparse leaves, hang a plastic bottle with water at the top, force the branches to grow horizontally, eliminate the top advantage, or cut off the young shoots at the top of the thick branches to promote the germination of new shoots and side branches.

When podocarpus is in the germination stage, it is necessary to decide whether to water according to the dryness and humidity of the soil, and when the soil is dry and compacted, it should be watered in time to keep the soil slightly moist, and it is necessary to provide soft light for podocarpus in the morning and evening, and shade treatment in the afternoon to avoid sunburn and affect the growth of plants.

Podocarpus is prone to leaf spot, red spider and other pests and diseases, in the early stage of leaf spot, there will be reddish-brown spots on the leaves, and gradually infiltrate the vertical clusters to expand and blacken, to use Tobuzin spraying treatment, and red spiders will eat the leaves, make them yellow and fall off, need to spray dichlorvos agent to kill.

Podocarpus is a very famous bonsai, there are long-leaved podocarpus and rice-leaved podocarpus, relatively speaking, the mimetic podocarpus is much more beautiful, and the popularity is greater, so there are a lot of friends in breeding, so how about the germination ability of podocarpus? How should I maintain it?

The germination ability of podocarpus is very slow, and the old branches can sprout new shoots after being truncated, but they do not grow too much.

So how should podocarpus be maintained? Roll out.

Soil, this requirement is not high, the general garden soil can be, I myself have been cutting podocarpus for several years, using also garden soil, the effect is also very good, do not have to buy any imported soil, very loose, not easy to fix.

Light, podocarpus likes light very much, with light will flourish, lack of light in the case of leaves will be thin and long, the color will be light, if it is a seedling within three years, that is, in the summer can not be strong direct light, you can put half yin and half yang, more than five years there is no problem.

Water, bonsai plants are in need of water, spring and autumn can be watered once every three days, in summer to water every day, preferably once in the morning and evening, in winter can be watered less, once a week can be.

Temperature, don't worry too much about this, if it's the south, you can plant it outdoors all year round.

Fertilizer, Luo Yu dry Han pine needs fertilizer very much, spring and autumn days are empty to try to water as much fertilizer, compound fertilizer can be.

Podocarpus is basically cuttings now, the first year is very fast, the second year is OK, and the third year is basically not how long, so you must be patient when breeding podocarpus.
