How to make a potted plant of melon seed boxwood

Melon seed boxwood. It is a tree species with high economic value, and its planting technology is of great significance to ensure the growth and yield of trees. This article will introduce the sowing technique of melon seed boxwood.

First of all, the seeds of melon seed boxwood should choose healthy, intact seeds to ensure the quality of the seeds. When choosing seeds, you should pay attention to the size and color of the seeds, and choose seeds with darker colors and larger sizes.

Secondly, seed treatment should be carried out before sowing to improve the germination rate and growth rate of the seeds. Seed treatment includes methods such as soaking, hot water treatment, and pesticide treatment, of which soaking is the most commonly used method. When soaking the treatment, the seeds should be soaked in warm water for 3-5 days, changing the water once a day.

Then, when choosing a planting site, you should choose a place with fertile soil, good ventilation, and good drainage to ensure the growth and survival of the seeds. Before sowing, the soil should be treated to improve its fertility and aeration. Finally, when sowing melon seeds and boxwood, appropriate planting density and depth should be used.

The planting density should be determined based on factors such as soil fertility, tree age and tree height, usually 300-500 trees per acre. The planting depth should be determined according to the size of the seed, which is generally 2-3 times the diameter of the seed.

In general, the key to the sowing technology of melon seed boxwood is to select the right seeds, carry out seed treatment, choose the right sowing site and use the appropriate planting density and depth. Only when we are fully prepared in these aspects can we guarantee the growth and yield of melon seeds and boxwood.

Melon seeds boxwood likes light, is also slightly shade-tolerant, and is suitable for growing in fertile, moist and loose places. Acidic soil, neutral soil or slightly alkaline soil can be adapted. It is better to choose loose and acidic soil for cultivation, and there is no need for deep pots.

The first planting light time should not be too long, and pay attention to shade when the sun is full in summer. At this time, apply more phosphorus fertilizer and put it in a warm and moist place to breed.

1. Apply fertilizer

Melon seed boxwood should use different fertilizer varieties in different growth periods, and more phosphorus fertilizer should be applied in its seedling stage, and more nitrogen fertilizer should be applied during the growth period, and more potassium fertilizer should be applied before the growth stops in autumn. In addition, in summer, weeding is the mainstay, especially after the rain, it must be dealt with in time, and it is necessary to insist on removing early and small.

2. Ensure light

Melon seed boxwood likes sunlight and is suitable for growing in a sunny environment, except for the summer when proper shade is needed, the rest of the spring, autumn and winter three seasons need to be given full sunshine. Through sunlight, it can promote the smooth progress of photosynthesis, which is also conducive to the accumulation of nutrients and the growth of melon seeds and boxwood.

3. Prune branches and leaves

In the growth period of melon seeds and 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 melon seed boxwood. Pruning in time can ensure the healthy growth of the plant.

4. Watering in time

A humid environment is more conducive to growth, and water cannot be lacking in daily maintenance, and timely watering is required to keep the soil moist. When watering, the amount of water should be controlled, and water must not accumulate to avoid stuffy roots and rotten roots.

The main insect pests of melon seed boxwood are scale insects and boxwood inchworms, which can be killed by manual brushing, or sprayed with 80% dichlorvos 1500 times. Boxwood inchworm is sprayed with 80% trichlorfon sniper powder, or sprayed with 40% dimethoate 1000-2000 times. The main disease is coal pollution disease, which will cause defoliation, and the key to prevention and control is to remove scale insects, and often spray foliar water and rinse dust to make it grow better.

Maintain melon seed boxwood saplings.

The following steps are required:

1.Soil: Choose fertile, well-drained soil, which can be mixed with an appropriate amount of organic fertilizer. Depending on the size of the sapling, choose potting soil or excavate the soil from which the plants will be excavated.

2.Watering: Keep the soil moist when planting, but don't overwater it to avoid standing water. In general, it needs to be watered once a week, and the number of watering should be increased or decreased according to soil moisture and climate environment.

3.Light: Melon seed boxwood seedlings need plenty of sunlight, but overexposure to sunlight can cause the leaves to turn yellow and dry up. Saplings can be placed in a location with appropriate shade to avoid excessive sun exposure.

4.Temperature: Melon seed boxwood seedlings are more suitable for growing in a warm environment, and the ideal temperature range is 15 30. In winter, you need to pay attention to keeping warm, you can cover it with a protective cover or move it indoors.

5.Pruning: When the sapling is first planted, it needs to be pruned properly, and the main trunk can be pruned a little to make the sapling more neat and orderly. After that, pruning should be done regularly to keep the tree in shape.

In short, the maintenance of melon seed boxwood seedlings needs to pay attention to soil, moisture, light, temperature and pruning, etc., and only scientific and reasonable maintenance measures can make the seedlings grow healthily.

The cultivation methods and precautions of melon seed boxwood are as follows:

1. Sufficient light

Melon seed boxwood is a positive plant. It loves light and grows well in a well-lit environment. Therefore, melon seed boxwood is suitable for planting in a flat, open, sunny place. Spring, autumn and winter are all sunbathed. In summer, the light is too strong, so you can get proper shade.

2. Watering in time

The humid environment is conducive to the growth of melon seed boxwood. In daily maintenance, we should water the melon seed boxwood according to the situation to keep the soil moist, but not waterlogged. Stagnant water can cause melon seeds, boxwood, and roots to rot.

Particular attention should be paid to this. In case of rainy season, it should be drained in time.

3. Reasonable fertilization

The growth of melon seeds and boxwood is inseparable from nutrition. When planting melon seed boxwood, a certain amount of organic fertilizer should be applied to the soil. During the growth period, you can top dressing melon seeds and boxwood, fertilize 1-2 times a month, and the amount of fertilizer should not be too large.

4. Trim properly

Melon seed boxwood grows vigorously and grows fast. It has many branched and compact plants. In order to make its plants dense and maintain their aesthetically pleasing shape, we must pay attention to pruning.

When pruning, first cut off the withered yellow branches and leaves on the melon seed boxwood plant, cut the overgrown branches and leaves short, and thin them through dense branches.

5. Precautions

Common pests and diseases of melon seed boxwood disease are: leaf blight, soot disease, silk wild moth, leaf roll moth larvae, scale insects, etc. It mainly occurs in the growth period and should be prevented and controlled in time.

1.It is forbidden to provide an arid environment for melon seed boxwood bonsai maintenance, and the potting soil should be wet rather than dry.

2.Likes moisture, watering more frequently, and watering thoroughly every time, especially during the peak growing season.

3.At the seedling stage, the root system is shallow, so it can be watered less.

4.It is forbidden to apply thick fertilizer in fertilization, and different fertilizer varieties are selected according to the growth stage, so that the nutrients can grow more vigorously.

5.In addition, it is necessary to change the pot every two years, replace the potting soil, and prune the root system, so that the later growth will be more vigorous.
