How to cultivate dragon beard tree bonsai? How to raise a dragonbeard tree?

Dragon's beard tree, also known as fragrant millennium wood, dragon's blood tree, its leaves are long, green and shiny, the leaves can be kept green and eye-catching throughout the year, a piece of leaves hang down, a tree on the leaves are all scattered down, just like a green waterfall, put in the living room or room, and fortune tree, happiness tree, peace tree as beautiful and eye-catching, lush and verdant, the key is that it is very easy to feed, in the winter colder places can also be raised, than the wealth tree happiness tree is much more worry-free, more cold-resistant.

1. Potting soil and repotting

If the plant is very large, you can change it in a slightly larger pot, otherwise the plant is big, the pot is small, top-heavy, and the nutrients are insufficient, which is not conducive to its growth. To plant the soil of the dragon's blood tree, you can use peat soil or humus soil, add one-fifth of river sand or vermiculite perlite, and add a little cake fertilizer or bone meal as a base fertilizer.

2. Watering appropriately

During the growing season, it is not only necessary to keep the potted soil of the dragon's beard tree moist, but too much or too little watering is not appropriate, which is not conducive to its growth. Do not have stagnant water at any time, so as not to accumulate water in the potting soil and cause poor drainage, resulting in root rot. If you water too little for a long time, it will lead to dry potting soil, thin growth, branches and leaves fall yellow due to lack of water, and so on.

3. Apply a small amount of fertilizer

The potted dragon beard tree can be lazy to raise, in addition to the appropriate amount of watering, and does not need to be often fertilized, I believe that friends who have raised must have this feeling, that is, even if you do not fertilize for a few months, it is still green, and the growth is quite good. However, during the vigorous growth period, you can also pour a little thin fertilizer water, and nitrogen fertilizer can be a little more. In this way, the leaves grow more lush and beautiful.

Fourth, the dragon's blood tree needs to be topped

Because we are at home or on the balcony, when raising the dragon's beard tree, we will find that its branches, especially the main branches, will grow higher and higher, and may grow, at this time, we directly cut off the top to it, don't worry about damaging it, hit a top, from the incision place, it will emerge a few branches, grow a few branches, it looks more vigorous, fuller, more beautiful, lush and beautiful.

Growing environment: The dragon beard tree likes a warm and humid growth environment, and sufficient sunlight is more conducive to its growth, and it is more fertile-loving, and the growth needs enough nutrients, and the suitable growth temperature is about 25 °.

Soil requirements: Dragon's beard tree is more suitable for the growth of slightly acidic sandy soil with good drainage and permeability, and some peat soil and perlite are commonly used as substrates to increase soil permeability and be more conducive to growth.

Fertilization requirements: dragon beard tree is more fond of fertilizer, so it should be fertilized from time to time, especially in the spring and summer growth stage, mainly organic fertilizer, but nitrogen fertilizer should not be applied too much, so as not to appear "burning seedlings" phenomenon.

Loose, fertile, well-drained and well-ventilated culture soil rich in organic matter should be selected. It is usually mixed with 5 parts of garden soil, 3 parts of humus soil, 1 part of decomposed organic fertilizer and 1 part of river sand. Soil loosening is done once a month during the growing season to ensure that its roots are always in a good state.

If there is water in the pot, it should be removed as soon as possible, and the potting soil should be turned over after the potting soil is dried. Under normal circumstances, as a small and medium-sized plant in a home pot, the dragon beard tree can be repotted once a year at the beginning of April to meet the soil fertility requirements for its year-round growth.

In the spring, replenish nutrients and water, properly put it outdoors for maintenance, and blow more wind. In autumn, use scissors to prune properly, and don't over-prune, otherwise it will hurt the rhizome.

Breeding bonsai dragon's beard tree needs to provide it with strong air permeability, better drainage of the soil, and to water every 3 to 5 days, so that the potting soil is kept moist, can not appear waterlogged, in addition to the need to provide sufficient light for the dragon's beard tree, so that the plant can absorb sunlight, to avoid the phenomenon of branches and leaves to grow.

1. Soil requirements

When cultivating bonsai dragon's beard tree, it is best to choose a simple soil with strong air permeability and rich trace elements, which can be prepared with a mixture of peat soil and perlite, and add enough organic fertilizer to the soil to make the dragon's beard tree thrive.

2. Control the amount of water when trapped and returned

Daily maintenance of bonsai dragon's beard tree to keep the potting soil slightly moist, need to be watered every 3-5 days, in winter to strictly control the amount of watering, to water every half a month, so that the bonsai dragon's beard tree can safely overwinter.

3. Temperature environment

The most suitable temperature for bonsai dragon's beard tree is 20-28 degrees Celsius, too high or too low will affect the growth of the plant, usually maintain the temperature at about 15 degrees Celsius, to provide a warm growth environment for the dragon's beard tree.

4. Scientific fertilization

The dragon beard tree does not have a high demand for fertilizer, and generally needs to be fertilized every 15 days during the peak growth period of the plant to meet its growth needs, and can add nitrogen-rich compound fertilizer to the dragon beard tree to make the rhizome grow stronger.

1.Soil. The dragon's beard tree prefers loose, fertile, well-drained and well-ventilated soils. It can be made by mixing garden soil, humus soil, well-rotted organic fertilizer, and river sand in a ratio of 5:3 to 1:1.

2.Humidity. The dragon's beard tree likes moisture. In normal times, it is necessary to use the method of irrigation and watering to ensure that the soil is in a suitable moist state. It's not too dry, so it won't affect it too much.

3.Temperature. The most suitable range for it to grow is 20 to 28 degrees. If it is below 15 degrees or above 32 degrees, the plant will become dormant. In order for the plant to grow stronger, it is best not to go over the limit.

4.Illumination. The dragonbeard tree likes light, but not too strong. If the light is too strong in summer, you can provide proper shade or adjust its position. In other seasons, astigmatism is about 40 to 50 percent.

5.Manure. Comparatively speaking, the need for fertilizer is not very large. Only use it when it is growing vigorously, generally use it two or three times a month, and choose compound fertilizer.

6.Precautions.

In addition to the above-mentioned environmental factors that need to be regulated, there are also pruning and repotting to pay attention to. As for pruning, just cut off the yellowed, senile leaves and adjust them slightly to suit the overall look. As for repotting, change the pot once a year in April, prepare new soil (the requirements remain the same), and add some basal fertilizer to meet the requirements for growth.

1. Soil: When cultivating bonsai dragon's beard tree, it is necessary to choose a breathable and drainable soil, which can be mixed with river sand and perlite in the soil, and the roundness can improve the drainage performance.

2. Light: It likes sunlight, and the light in the environment of the mausoleum should be good, so it can be placed on the indoor balcony and moved to a relatively cool location in summer.

3. Water: The dragon beard tree likes moisture and can also tolerate drought, so it is necessary to observe the root condition of the potting soil, and water it in time after drying, and pay attention not to produce stagnant water.

After the introduction of dracaena into China, except for a few tropical areas to breed seeds, other areas mainly use high pressure and cuttings for vegetative propagation.

1) The stems of dracaena are mostly upright and have few branches. After a few years of growth, the base leaves fall off and naturally lose their ornamental value. Depending on this situation, the breeders can breed under high pressure during the hot and humid season from May to July.

The method is: in the appropriate part of the stem of the plant, carry out annular cutting, the width of the ring is centimeters, deep to the xylem, and use a knife to peel off the cortex of the annular mouth, wipe off the sap overflowing from the incision with a clean damp cloth and apply the upper cortex of the incision with 5000-1000ppm naphthalene acetic acid aqueous solution, and then tie it to the lower end of the incision with white plastic film, straighten it out and make a funnel shape, install the rhizome prepared with moss and mountain soil, wrap the knife edge, irrigate it with water once, tie the upper end of the river film, and then place the plant outdoors for cultivation. Strengthen fertilizer and water management. After the dracaena is high pressure, it is necessary to check whether the substrate is dry at any time, and replenish water at any time.

Generally, after 30 to 40 days of cultivation, new roots will appear in the circumcised area, and from September to October, it can be cut away from the mother body and cultivated into a separate plant.

2) Dracaena can also be propagated by cuttings for vegetative propagation in May to June. At this time, it is the vigorous growth period of the dracaena tree, the plant is rich in nutrients, and it is very easy to survive after cuttings. Before cuttings, you can select the mother plant with high ornamental value, and take its robust branches that have grown for more than two years, each section is about 10-20 cm long, and there are no leaves.

The base of the cuttings is cut into a flat mouth, the leaves are retained after the upper part is cross-cut, the upper and lower incisions can be soaked in water to wash the overflowing liquid juice, placed in a cool and ventilated place to dry for a while, and then soak the base of the cuttings with 500-1000ppm naphthalene acetic acid for 2-3 cm, generally 5 seconds can be used, and the cuttings can be inserted with dipping. For dracaena cuttings, the seedbed can be used in small clay pots, and the substrate can be vermiculite, perlite or high-temperature sterilized plain sand, and cuttings can be carried out after potting. One plant per pot, water once after insertion, place the seedbed in the light of the flowers, and carefully maintain.

The main management work in the future is to keep the substrate moist. Dracaena wound healing fast, early rooting, rapid germination, generally 15 to 20 days, incision in the action of trauma hormones, will produce callus, 25 to 35 days, cuttings in the action of endogenous hormones, soon can appear the original body of the root, 35 days to 40 days to germinate new roots, two months later, you can use the culture soil to turn the pot transplanting.
