I would like to know how to plant small leaved boxwood?

To choose the soil with good water retention effect, the planting temperature should be controlled at about 28 degrees, we must water and fertilize frequently, the light time should be grasped at about two hours, excellent seeds should be selected, and seedlings should be raised.

The specific method is to dry the soil first, fertilize the soil to ensure that the soil is pH enough to plant small-leaved boxwood, and then sow small-leaved boxwood.

Choose a lot with good soil conditions, remove weeds and stones, generally plant in spring, this time is more suitable after the Qingming Festival, pay more attention to watering, and prepare various fertilizers.

Seed small-leaved boxwood is best propagated by cuttings in the summer, and then prepare fertile sandy loam soil, and after propagation, put it into sandy loam soil.

Propagation by cuttings.

1. Cutting time.

In mid-April and late June, with cuttings with clipping. 2. Cutting method.

The depth of cuttings was 3 4 cm, and the density of cuttings was 278 m2. Before inserting the bottom of the tank water, after inserting the closed water. Then make an arch on the furrow surface.

Cover with plastic film, water every 7 days, keep the temperature at 20 30, shade with a straw curtain if the temperature is too high, and keep the relative humidity at 75% 85%.

Small-leaved boxwood likes light, can grow normally in both sunny and semi-shady environments, and is planted in areas with open surroundings, sufficient sunlight and good water and fertilizer soil conditions. Weeds and gravel are removed, decomposed base fertilizer is applied, the ground is raked, and the soil is turned deep to ensure that the relative moisture content of the soil is 75%-80%.

Sowing is in early to mid-September. Before sowing, the seeds should be soaked in water for 30 hours, and the amount of water should be soaked in the seeds. Strip ditching on the bed surface, depth 3 cm, before sowing the seeds according to the corresponding seedbed divided into several parts, and then the seeds are evenly sprinkled into the ditch, and lightly step on the soil lattice, and then cover the soil 1 cm, scrape the bed surface with a wooden board, and then cover the seedbed with straw, and the straw should be put down, with a thickness of 30 cm.

Use a watering can to water 1 time, then water the straw 2 or 3 times a week until the seeds take root in mid-October.

4 In June, because the seedlings of small-leaved boxwood are germinating to flowering, the growth amount is large, and the water should be replenished in time. 6 September, due to the high temperature and drought in the area, to meet the water demand of seedlings, try to spray as much foliar as possible, and do not accumulate water. 10 In November, the growth of seedlings slows down, and the water should be properly controlled, and the winter water should be watered at the end of November, and the green water should be watered back in the middle of March of the following year.

A total of 4 5 times of weeding throughout the year, the principle of weeding in the nursery should not hurt the roots of the seedlings, the weeding is deeper, the ground temperature can be increased, and it is conducive to accelerating the growth of small-leaved boxwood seedlings.

Due to the cold winter in some areas and the large temperature difference between day and night, it is necessary to take protective measures before wintering for the 2-year-old small-leaved boxwood, such as covering the non-woven fabric with bamboo poles before winter, and compacting the bottom of the non-woven fabric around it.

Bonsai material. First, it is propagated by sowing seeds or cuttings, but the cultivation time is long, and it is difficult to obtain good materials for rooting and dewing claws.

The second is to dig up old piles. The old pile excavation is better in summer, followed by spring and autumn, and worst in winter. After excavation, the pile blank can be wrapped in a plastic bag to moisturize the roots.

When planting, the descending taproot should be removed and most of the leaves should be cut off to prevent water loss and ensure survival. It can be raised in the open ground first, or it can be potted directly, but it must be cultivated for more than two years before it can be shaped.

<>1. Sandy soil: When maintaining small-leaved boxwood bonsai, it is necessary to provide suitable soil, which can be used fertile sandy soil, and can be mixed with slag, vegetable garden soil and river sand in accordance with the ratio of 4:4:2 to provide suitable soil for growth.

2. Regular repotting: repotting every 2-3 years, preferably before the spring germination of the closed belt, so that there is more space for growth, and it can also provide new soil suitable for growth.

3. Ensure sunlight: Although it can tolerate shade, in order to ensure good growth, it is best to keep it in a place with good light to meet the irradiation of good light.

4. Sell an appropriate amount of watering: small-leaved boxwood has more demand for water, so it is necessary to pay attention to timely watering and not make the potting soil in a dry state. The amount of watering is well controlled, and there should be no water accumulation.

5. Reasonable fertilization: do a good job of fertilization, 5-8 months belong to the vigorous growth period, to apply 2-3 times of thin cake fertilizer water, full of the demand for good growth of the medium state.

6. Pay attention to pruning: do a good job of pruning, cut off the excess branches that affect the growth, and avoid consuming nutrients.

Boxwood is a small evergreen tree or shrub plant that grows in valleys and underforests. It prefers fertile, loose and slightly acidic soils or slightly alkaline loam, and does not require a high planting medium. Boxwood loves light and moisture, and is cultivated and weed during the rainy season every year to ensure healthy root development.

In general, boxwood farming is not very difficult. Let's take a look at how boxwood should be cultivated.

1.Planting substrate requirements.

Boxwood does not have high soil requirements, whether it is sandy, brown or loam, it can be planted and survived. However, the best fertile and loose slightly acidic or slightly alkaline loam soils, which have some air permeability and drainage, allow the roots to absorb nutrients better. Before planting, the base fertilizer can be applied to the planting hole, and fully stirred with the planting soil, and then applied to the bottom of the hole as the base soil.

2.Watering. Although boxwood is drought tolerant, it is a moisture-loving plant.

Therefore, when watering, it is necessary to adopt the standard of preferring wet to dry. When the seedlings are cleared at the source, because the seedlings have shallow roots, the watering should be mainly based on the moist soil surface, and the amount should be less than many times, so as to avoid serious water loss. In the growth period, the demand for water becomes greater, and it should be watered with large water to water the soil thoroughly.

In late summer, you should reduce excessive watering and avoid midday watering.

3.Cultivating and weeding.

Generally, new seedlings have just been planted, and it is very easy to produce weeds on the soil surface, so weeding should be carried out at this time. In the south, tillage and weeding are carried out together. Usually after the rain or just after watering the seedlings, it is cultivated and weeded, which can prevent the seedlings from draining and allow the boxwood seedlings to develop.

In the north, tillage and weeding are separated, generally in spring and autumn, and weeding is carried out in summer before hail.

4.Fertilize. Boxwood also has different fertilizer requirements at different growing times.

A large amount of phosphorus fertilizer is required at the seedling stage, nitrogen fertilizer is required during the most rapid growth period, and a lot of potassium fertilizer is required in autumn. For fertilization, dry application and wet application can be used, dry application is to sprinkle fertilizer directly on the soil between seedlings, and then cover the soil. Wet application is to add fertilizer to water and then sprinkle it on the seedbed.

The cultivation methods and precautions of small-leaved boxwood are as follows:

1. Watering problems of boxwood breeding:

Watering is an important aspect of any plant cultivation. Especially in the spring, boxwood trees in the north require a lot of water and evaporate, so it is necessary to increase the amount of watering to meet the needs of plant growth. After planting, the seedlings are watered on the first day, on the fourth day, on the sixth day, and then according to the weather and growth conditions.

In addition, it should be noted that if the amount of soil water is too large, it will cause the plants to lodging, or if there is too much precipitation, it is necessary to straighten, cultivate the soil, and be steady. In addition, it is necessary to pay attention to the condition of the soil, and then level or fill the soil in time. Because boxwood trees love water, it is necessary to adhere to the principle of "wet rather than dry" when watering.

2. Weeding problems in boxwood breeding:

Cultivating and weeding should be carried out in combination. Cultivating and weeding is generally carried out after rain or irrigation. In addition, in the early stage of seedlings in a timely manner to cultivate and weed, in the north in the spring and autumn to cultivate, in the summer to weeding, especially after the rain must be dealt with in a timely manner, and to adhere to the principle of early, small, and except, must be **.

3. Top dressing of boxwood breeding:

It is necessary to determine the fertilizer varieties according to the different growth stages of boxwood, and apply more phosphorus fertilizer at the seedling stage, more nitrogen fertilizer during the growing period, and more potassium fertilizer before the growth stops in autumn. In addition, the specific amount of fertilization is calculated according to the period, generally increasing during the growth period, and then decreasing.

4. Shaping problems of boxwood breeding:

During the growth period of boxwood, it is necessary to prune in time to cut off diseased branches, weak branches and other excess branches. And after the boxwood bears fruit, it is necessary to carry out topping in time to avoid consuming more nutrients and affecting the growth of boxwood. Pruning in time can ensure the healthy growth of the plant.

Notes:

The main trunk of small-leaved boxwood grows slowly, but the branches germinate quickly, so it should be pruned in time during the maintenance period. It is necessary to prune off over-dense branches, yellowing branches, and diseased and insect branches in time to reduce nutrient consumption. In addition, the potted plant maintenance should be repotted regularly, preferably once a year in spring, combined with root pruning.
