How to raise red bud podocarpus to make it flourish?

In the peak season of growth, more nutrients should be supplemented, mainly compound fertilizers and organic fertilizers, if there are conditions, you can buy special nutrient soil and fertilizer for podocarpus. After fertilization, ventilate and prune at regular intervals.

If you want to raise the red bud podocarpus into a state of lush foliage, you must water it on time every day and apply compound fertilizer to it every month.

Podocarpus not only has emerald green leaves, but also blooms fresh and elegant flowers, the whole growth process needs enough soft light, in order to achieve the state of the chlorophyte to the yellow flowers, the light is too weak, can not start the photosynthesis of the leaves, can not carry out the stage of vigorous growth, the position of the light is too strong, direct light irradiates the healthy tissues of the leaves, serious times lead to plant wilting normal maintenance, the light is not strong or weak is suitable for the growth of podocarpus, such as the indoor bright position, facing the east next to the floor-to-ceiling windowsThrough photosynthesis, the leaves produce chlorophyll that makes the plant healthy and the leaves are green, and it is also one of the important factors for the development of flower buds.

When germinating, the buds will turn red, and the buds and leaves that have just burst out of the spores are red, so we are commonly known as "red buds".

The propagation method of red leaf podocarpus is not special, you can cultivate seedlings, you can also take cuttings of branches, and then transplant them into pots after the plants are more mature, so as to shape them into bonsai. However, its growth is relatively slow, so the maintenance process will be longer, after all, it is a plant that has grown for many years, and it is not a problem to raise it for a few years, and podocarpus is the more you raise the better-looking type, just to hone everyone's patience. If you are not patient enough, it is still more difficult to raise podocarpus, and it is more practical to buy a pot directly and put it in spring, which is the germination period of podocarpus, so you must prepare for potting before entering spring.

The choice of flower pots and substrate is very important, the substrate must be loose enough, preferably acidic, mixed with some coarse sand and other granular materials can improve the drainage of the substrate. Try not to choose deep pots for flower pots, the root growth of podocarpus is relatively superficial, so shallow but wide pots are fine. If it does not enter the dormant period, it is best not to toss its branches, one will hurt the growth of the branches, and the other is because the plastic ability of the growth period is relatively poor.

The best growth period for podocarpus is in spring and autumn, after all, the weather conditions are better, the branches will grow faster, and if some fertilizer is applied, then the speed will be faster. The type of fertilizer is more inclined to nitrogen fertilizer, how to say it is also a foliage plant, the maintenance of branches and leaves is very important, once there are signs of growth, it should be pruned off in time to maintain its appearance and beauty.

1. Rice leaf podocarpus.

Article**1 Meter-leaved podocarpus is a relatively rare and precious species. Its shape is very much like a small tree, the leaves are small but it looks very beautiful, it is a more precious and excellent variety of podocarpus, its life span is also relatively long, it is a commonly used tree species for making bonsai.

2. Podocarpus chinensis.

Article**2 The leaves of the podocarpus are short and dense, they grow together tightly, some of its branches and trunks are high and some are very low, its newly grown leaves are green and light, and they will grow into a strong green after a long time, and the mosaic is quite beautiful and is the first choice for miniature bonsai. Podocarpus chinensis is a valuable and easy-to-shape and easy-to-manage tree.

3. Pearl podocarpus.

Pearl podocarpus has been cultivated for a long time, and was discovered in the eighties of the last century. It has short leaves and is also the thickest variety of podocarpus, with a well-developed root system and tiny nodules, which is uncommon in nature.

The shape of the island podocarpus is also very special, some look like a majestic dragon, some look like a fierce beast, planted in the garden or at home is very creative and ornamental, its branches look elegant and shapeful without losing the beauty of vigor, like a flowing yarn belt, very smart, very popular.

5. Red bud pearl podocarpus.

Article**3 Red bud pearl podocarpus belongs to the variation of podocarpus, which is very rare in the flower market, mostly used for bonsai garden viewing plants, highly ornamental, the newly grown leaves of red bud pearl podocarpus look bright red, and the leaves will slowly age over time.

As long as it is not in the dormant period, podocarpus will bud and grow leaves, but from July to August, it grows most vigorously.

Cultivation of podocarpus should provide 15 28 suitable temperature environment, place it outdoors to receive sufficient light, water in the morning and evening in summer to replenish water, apply thin Bika water-soluble fertilizer once a month during the growth period, and do a good job in pest control to make it grow healthily. It is also necessary to pay attention to the repotting of loose soil once in 2 years, and do a good job of winter maintenance to control the temperature above 10.

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 generally grows new leaves in February and March in spring, which is the peak period of budding and will sprout a large number of new leaves. In fact, podocarpus not only germinates new leaves in spring, but also grows leaves in other seasons as long as the climate is suitable, but after entering the dormant period of summer and winter, the growth is stagnant and new leaves cannot grow normally. Podocarpus has a very strong vitality, so it should not be watered too much, keep the soil dry, and maintain suitable light.

The planting skills of podocarpus are skillful.

Potted podocarpus also needs to be supplemented with nutrients. Podocarpus does not like thick fertilizer, the growing season can be used to rot organic liquid fertilizer, the concentration is: 10, every ten days and half a month, the next day after fertilization to irrigate a water, which is conducive to root absorption, open field cultivation of podocarpus, can be applied before the spring shoots germination, after the autumn shoots grow up once a concentration of 1:

4 organic liquid fertilizers.

Dig a ditch when applying, cover the soil after application, and irrigate once the next day, usually without fertilization. If there is no rain for a long time, it should be irrigated. If you want to enjoy its verdant leaves, whether potted or ground-planted, you can use 1:1 every half month

The concentration of 15 is to add a small amount of liquid fertilizer to the water, water, and implement muddy water to water the flowers.

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.
