Colorful ribbon treeIt is a common ornamental shrub plant with colorful flowers and good ornamental value. The following is how to plant the multicolored ribbon tree:
Soil selection: Colorful brocade prefers well-drained, organic-rich and loose and breathable soils, which can be mixed with river sand or perlite.
Light conditions: The colorful brocade has a high demand for light, and needs sufficient sunlight to ensure normal growth and flowering, but it is necessary to avoid direct sunlight when the summer is hot, and can be properly shaded.
Temperature requirements: Prefer a warm environment, medium cold tolerance, can tolerate low temperatures of about -15 in winter, but in the cold areas of the north, you need to take cold protection measures in winter.
Water management: Keep the soil moist during the growing season in spring and summer, but do not accumulate water to avoid root diseases. Gradually reduce the amount of watering in autumn, and control the water during the dormant period in winter, and the soil should be slightly wet.
Fertilization management: thin liquid fertilizer can be applied once a month during the growth period, and phosphorus and potassium fertilizer-based fertilizers can be applied before germination and flowering in spring to promote plant robustness and flower bud differentiation.
Pruning: Light pruning is carried out in early spring every year to remove dead, weak and overly dense branches, which helps to ventilate and transmit light and facilitate the formation of a full plant shape. After pruning, it can stimulate the growth of new shoots and increase the amount of flowering.
Propagation method: Colorful brocade can be propagated by cuttings, strips or divides.
Planting depth: When planting, make sure that the root neck part is slightly higher than the ground surface to prevent water accumulation from causing rot in the root neck.
Following the above steps, combined with local climatic conditions and personal maintenance experience, the proper planting and management of the colorful ribbon tree can make it grow healthy and lush and produce bright flowers.
