Penglai pine is a common potted plant that is loved by people because of its green leaves and beautiful plant shape. Below we will introduce the cultivation methods and precautions of Penglai pine in detail.
First, the breeding method.
1.Soil selection.
Penglai pine is suitable for growing in loose, fertile, well-drained slightly acidic soil. Therefore, when potting, you can choose to mix peat soil, humus soil and garden soil in a ratio of 1:1:1, and add an appropriate amount of decomposed organic fertilizer to the bottom of the pot to provide sufficient nutrients.
2.Lighting control.
Penglai pine needs plenty of sunlight, but it is also shade-tolerant. In the process of breeding, the pine should be placed in a sunny environment, such as a balcony or windowsill, but in summer it needs to be properly shaded to avoid strong light exposure.
3.Temperature management.
Pinus penglai is suitable for growing in a warm and humid environment, and the most suitable growth temperature is 15-25. In the summer high temperature, it can be cooled by spraying water, shading, etc.;When the temperature is low in winter, the pine should be moved to a warm place indoors to avoid frost damage.
4.Watering management.
Penglai pine watering should be moderate, not too much or too little. During the growing period, it can be watered every 2-3 days to keep the soil moist;In the summer high temperature, you can increase the number of watering appropriately, but avoid stagnant water;In winter, when the temperature is low, the number of watering should be appropriately reduced to avoid freezing the root system.
5.Fertilization management.
Penglai pine needs sufficient nutrients, but fertilization should be done in moderation. During the growth period, well-rotted organic fertilizer or compound fertilizer can be applied every 1-2 monthsIn the summer high temperature, the number of fertilization can be appropriately increased;In winter, when the temperature is low, the frequency of fertilization should be reduced to avoid root burning.
2. Precautions.
1.Change the pot and change the soil.
In the process of cultivating Penglai pine, it is necessary to change the potting soil regularly. Generally, the potting soil is changed every 1-2 years to provide sufficient nutrients and space for growth. At the same time, when repotting, the plants should be pruned and sorted to remove old roots and dead leaves.
2.Pest and disease control.
Pests and diseases may occur during the cultivation process. Common pests and diseases include leaf blight, aphids, etc. Leaf blight can be prevented by increasing light, controlling humidity, etc.;For pests such as aphids, imidacloprid and other pesticides can be used for control.
3.Avoid overwatering or standing water.
Overwatering or stagnant water can cause root rot and affect the growth of the plant. Therefore, it is necessary to pay attention to the appropriate amount when watering and avoid overwatering or standing water. At the same time, it is also necessary to pay attention to the drainage situation to avoid the potting soil from being in a wet state for a long time.
4.Avoid over-fertilization.
Over-fertilization can cause root burns on the pine and affect the growth of the plant. Therefore, it is necessary to pay attention to the appropriate amount when fertilizing and avoid over-fertilization. At the same time, it is also necessary to pay attention to the time and method of fertilization, which is generally appropriate during the growth period.
5.Pay attention to environmental hygiene.
Poor sanitation can lead to the occurrence and reproduction of pests and diseases. Therefore, it is necessary to pay attention to environmental sanitation when cultivating Penglai pine, and regularly clean up the dead leaves and residues on the potting soil and plants. At the same time, it is also necessary to pay attention to ventilation and maintain air circulation.
In short, the cultivation methods and precautions of Penglai pine include soil selection, light control, temperature management, watering management, fertilization management, pot and soil change, pest control, avoiding overwatering or stagnant water, avoiding over-fertilization and paying attention to environmental hygiene. Only by doing a good job in these aspects can Penglai pine grow healthily and strongly.
