Potting method for symplocos paniculata columns

Abstract

The invention discloses a method for potting symplocos paniculata, which comprises the following steps of: selecting symplocos paniculata which grows robustly and is free from diseases in spring and autumn, dividing or cutting seed balls which are extremely easy to germinate for propagation, removing divided old roots and diseased roots or lightly picking off the seed balls, and placing in a shady, cool and ventilated place for 8 hours. Uniformly mixing 60% of peat soil, 10% of sandy garden soil, 10% of akadama soil, 10% of vermiculite and 10% of rice hull ash, paving the mixture in the flowerpot for loosening fruits or bones at the bottom holes, and thoroughly watering; planting the divided symplocos paniculata columns on the surface of the mixed soil or cutting the seed balls on the surface of the mixed soil, paving with a small amount of akadama soil after planting, placing at a shady and cool ventilation place for 1-2 weeks, and then moving outdoors under the sun for exposed cultivation.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to a potting method for white sandalwood columns, and belongs to the field of gardening flower planting. Background Art

[0002] White sandalwood pillar ( Echinopsis chamaecereus ), also known as white sandalwood, is a member of the Cactaceae family ( Cactaceae ), Cactus ( Echinopsis ), a classic small species, is most notably characterized by its slender, cylindrical, juicy stems. The stems are usually only 1-2 cm in diameter and can reach 15 cm or longer, with a bright green to dark green color. The stems are very soft and easily bendable, completely lacking the ability to support themselves through lignification, and grow in a prostrate or drooping pattern. The surface of the stem has 8-12 low, spirally arranged ridges. The ridges are densely covered with tiny areoles, which are initially covered with short white or light brown hairs. Each areole usually has 10-16 very fine white or light yellow radiating soft spines, only 1-2 mm long, and the middle spine is usually absent or extremely inconspicuous. These soft spines cling tightly to the stem and feel like fine hairs, with little prickling sensation.

[0003] The white sandalwood cactus is one of the most popular and beloved ornamental cacti. Its distinctive slender, flexible stems, its strong tendency to grow in dangling clusters, and its bursts of vibrant, large flowers in spring and summer create a striking visual contrast, making it highly ornamental. It is well-suited for potted plants, hanging pots, bonsai combinations, or rock gardens. Its robust habit, easy propagation, relative cold tolerance, and precise environmental requirements make it an ideal introduction to cacti for beginners. However, in home cultivation, it often suffers from slender growth and poor ornamental quality. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide a potting method for cactus white sandalwood columns which is easy to reproduce, has a high survival rate and good ornamental value.

[0005] The technical solution employed to achieve the above-mentioned object of the present invention is a potting method for white sandalwood, comprising the following steps: selecting healthy and disease-free white sandalwood in spring and autumn, dividing or propagating the easily germinated bulblets, removing old and diseased roots of the divided bulblets or gently removing the bulblets, and placing them in a cool, ventilated place for approximately 8 hours; uniformly mixing 60% peat soil, 10% sandy garden soil, 10% Akadama soil, 10% vermiculite, and 10% rice husk ash, spreading the mixture evenly in a pot with a pine or bone hole at the bottom, and watering thoroughly; planting the divided white sandalwood on the surface of the mixed soil or planting the bulblets on the surface of the mixed soil; and after planting, paving the surface with a small amount of Akadama soil to control the growth of moss and weeds on the soil surface. The potting is then placed in a cool, ventilated place for 1-2 weeks and then moved outdoors to grow in the sun.

[0006] During the outdoor cultivation period, it should be noted that the white sandalwood column likes an environment with sufficient sunlight, ventilation and no water accumulation. Water it when the soil is dry and wet, and do regular weeding and fertilization. In winter, when the temperature is below -5℃ or it snows, it is necessary to keep warm and prevent frost. Watering must be controlled during the winter dormancy period to increase the amount of flowering in the next year. Do not water it when the flower buds begin to grow, otherwise the flower buds will turn into bulbs. Do not start watering until the flower buds grow to more than 1 cm. Water it once about 10 days after flowering. Be careful not to pour water on the flowers.

[0007] The aforementioned pine cones and bones should be soaked in carbendazim and then exposed to the sun for 3 days before use to prevent them from becoming moldy later.

[0008] For the aforementioned watering, add potassium permanganate solution to the water according to the instructions to disinfect the cultivation medium.

[0009] The aforementioned sandy garden soil is obtained by taking the sandy and loose soil of the cultivated layer, cleaning away the tree roots and stones, and then exposing it to the sun for a week for disinfection.

[0010] The beneficial effects of the present invention include utilizing a mixture of peat soil, sandy garden soil, Akadama soil, vermiculite, and rice husk ash as a cultivation medium for white sandalwood, which not only improves the survival rate of white sandalwood but also has abundant sources and simple operation; the open-air planting method is chosen because white sandalwood prefers an environment with sufficient sunlight, dryness, and good ventilation. The more sufficient the light, the greater the number of flowers, the more beautiful the flowers that bloom, and the greater the ornamental value. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0011] Example 1

[0012] In spring, select healthy, disease-free white sandalwood plants for division. Remove old and diseased roots and place in a cool, well-ventilated place for about 8 hours. Mix 60% peat moss, 10% sandy garden soil, 10% Akadama soil, 10% vermiculite, and 10% rice husk ash. Spread this mixture evenly in a pineapple pot with a hole at the bottom and water thoroughly. Plant the divided white sandalwood plants on the surface of the mixture and top with a small amount of Akadama soil after planting. Control the growth of moss and weeds. Place in a cool, well-ventilated place for 1-2 weeks before moving outdoors to the sun.

[0013] During the outdoor cultivation period, it should be noted that the white sandalwood column likes an environment with sufficient sunlight, ventilation and no water accumulation. Water it when the soil is dry and wet, and do regular weeding and fertilization. In winter, when the temperature is below -5℃ or it snows, it is necessary to keep warm and prevent frost. Watering must be controlled during the winter dormancy period to increase the amount of flowering in the next year. When the flower buds begin to grow, watering should not be done until the flower buds grow to more than 1 cm, otherwise the flower buds will turn into bulbs. Water once about 10 days after flowering, and be careful not to pour water on the flowers.

[0014] Example 2

[0015] In autumn, select healthy, disease-free white sandalwood trees and propagate them by cutting their easily germinated bulblets. Gently remove the bulblets and place them in a cool, well-ventilated place for about 8 hours. Mix 60% peat moss, 10% sandy garden soil, 10% Akadama soil, 10% vermiculite, and 10% rice husk ash. Spread this mixture evenly in a pot with a bone in the bottom hole and water thoroughly. Insert the bulblets into the soil mixture and top with a small amount of Akadama soil afterward, controlling the growth of moss and weeds. Place in a cool, well-ventilated place for 1-2 weeks before moving them outdoors to the sun.

[0016] During the outdoor cultivation period, it should be noted that the white sandalwood column likes an environment with sufficient sunlight, ventilation and no water accumulation. Water it when the soil is dry and wet, and do regular weeding and fertilization. When the temperature is below -5℃ or it snows in winter, it is necessary to keep warm and prevent frost. Watering must be controlled during the winter dormancy period to increase the amount of flowering in the next year. When the flower buds begin to grow, watering should not be done until the flower buds grow to more than 1 cm, otherwise the flower buds will turn into bulbs. Water once about 10 days after flowering, and be careful not to pour water on the flowers.
