Duck palm wood is a common indoor foliage plant, hydroponics is a simple and effective breeding method, the following will introduce the specific steps and precautions of water cuttings and soil culture to hydroponics.
Method 1: Water cuttings.
1.Pruning branches: Choose strong, pest-free and well-growing duck palm plants, and cut the hardness branches from the top. The bottom is cut into an inclined surface to increase the area where water is absorbed.
2.Prepare hydroponic containers: It is best to choose transparent glass containers, which are convenient for observing the growth of the root system, and have good light transmittance, which is conducive to the rooting and survival of the root system.
3.Hydroponic cuttings are carried out: the lower part of the shoot2 3 is immersed in a glass container filled with clean water and placed in a bright indoor location at a temperature above 15. Usually a white callus will form at the incision in about 10 days, and adventitious roots will form after a few days.
4.Maintenance after cuttings: After cuttings, change the water after about 1-2 days, and add rooting solution dropwise. Maintain a bright astigmatism environment indoors, observe root growth regularly, and adjust maintenance management in time.
Method 2: Soil culture to hydroponics.
1.Depotting: Remove the soil-cultured duck palm wood from the potting soil, wash the soil from the roots, and prune the roots to remove rotten roots and retain healthy taproots.
2.Prepare the hydroponic container: Choose a transparent glass container that is the right size for the stretch of the roots, and have an appropriate amount of drainage holes at the bottom of the container.
3.Transfer to hydroponics: Place the pruned roots in a hydroponic container, making sure that the roots are completely immersed in water while keeping the water level around 1 3 of the roots.
4.Maintenance: Place in a bright indoor location away from direct sunlight. Change the water regularly to keep the water clean, and add hydroponic nutrient solution in an appropriate amount. Observe the condition of the roots and leaves, and adjust the maintenance measures in time.
Notes:1Keep the water clean and avoid using tap water that contains too many chemicals.
2.The room temperature should be kept within a suitable range to avoid too low or too high a temperature that affects the growth of the plant.
3.The light should be moderate, duck palm wood likes to scatter light, avoid strong direct sunlight, so as not to burn the leaves.
4.Regularly observe the growth of the root system and replace the water in time to avoid root rot caused by water quality deterioration.
5.In the process of hydroponics, you can add an appropriate amount of hydroponic nutrient solution, but pay attention to the concentration not too high to avoid causing harm to the plants.
Summary: The hydroponic breeding methods of duck palm wood mainly include water cuttings and soil culture to hydroponics. No matter which method is used, it is necessary to pay attention to factors such as water quality, temperature, light, etc., and regularly observe the state of the root system and leaves, and adjust the maintenance measures in time to ensure the healthy growth of the duck palm wood.
