Milk grain of capsicum, because of its leaves in the center of white or light green stripes, it is also known as flower leaf of Capsicum. The leaves of paprika rubra are heart-shaped, with metal light. It is a small foliage plant, and is a popular household breeding plant recently. So how to breed the paprika? Read along with Xiaobian~
Culture method of paprika rubra culture method of paprika rubra (basic knowledge): the best propagation time: spring and autumn is suitable for ramet propagation; Leaf transplanting was in May to June;
The best growing soil is loose, fertile and well drained soil, which can be mixed with river sand, mud fabric and rotten leaf soil;
Growth humidity requirements: paprika lactiflora likes humid climate, and the relative temperature of air in the growth environment is required to be 60-75%;
The optimum growth temperature: the optimum growth temperature of paprika rubra is 18 ℃ ~ 30 ℃, avoiding cold and frost. The overwintering temperature needs to be kept above 10 ℃. When the temperature drops below 4 ℃ in winter, it will go into dormancy. If the ambient temperature is close to 0 ℃, it will die of frostbite;
The best growth light: milk grain capsicum avoid direct sunlight, should grow in half shade.
Cultivation methods of paprika rubra cultivation precautions: fertilizer and water requirements:
There are many requirements for fertilizer and water in Rabdosia papyrifera, but they are most afraid of random fertilization, concentrated fertilization and partial application of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium
Spring, summer and autumn
These two seasons are its peak growing season. The fertilizer and water management cycle in the order of "Huabao" -- "Huabao" -- "Huabao" -- "Huabao" -- "Huabao" -- clear water (at least twice a week). The interval period is about 1-4 days for outdoor maintenance, and the interval period is shorter in sunny days or high temperature, The interval between rainy days or low temperature is longer or no watering; 2-6 days of indoor maintenance. Watering time should be arranged in the morning when the temperature is low. Water is irrigated in summer or at low temperature in the evening. Spray plants frequently.
Winter:
In winter dormancy period, the main task is to control fertilizer and water. The management of fertilizer and water is in the order of "Huabao" - Qingshui - "Huabao" - Qingshui "- Qingshui, with an interval of about 7-10 days. Watering time should be arranged in sunny day with high temperature at noon.
Pruning tips:
When the plant height is about 10 cm, it can be properly pinched to promote the lateral branch germination and keep the plant plump. If the plant shape is too high, it can be pruned to make the plant compact and plump.
Basin soil replacement:
For the old basin to be reused, it must be soaked in potassium permanganate 1000 times solution for more than half an hour, then washed with clean water and dried for use. The new basin can be used directly. Generally, small flowerpots (9cm plastic pots) should be planted first. When planting, appropriate substrate should be placed at the bottom of the cup, and then the seedlings should be moved into the cup. The seedlings can be planted deeper, and the base of the flat plant should be slightly higher, 1 ball / pot; Medium tightness of the substrate, fill the cup to 9 minutes full, gently vibrate the basin soil, and pour semi permeable or surface water with fixed root water.
Culture method of paprika rubra
Breeding points:
The cutting and ramet methods are often used in the propagation of Rabdosia rubra.
Cutting: in April to may, select the robust top branch, about 5cm long as the cutting, and keep 1-2 leaves on the upper part. After the incision is dried, insert it into the wet sand bed. The leaves with petioles can also be cut with a knife and inserted obliquely on the sand bed after a little drying, with 10-15 natural roots. In the greenhouse with temperature control equipment, it can be carried out all year round.
Ramet: mainly used for breeding of color leaf varieties. The basin soil can be made of rotten leaf soil, peat soil and part of perlite or sand, and base fertilizer can be added appropriately. During the growing period, top dressing should be applied once every half a month. It is better to use the water that has been put in the pool for 1-2 days for watering. Water should be controlled in winter. The color of leaves is directly affected by temperature change, and the suitable temperature for color leaves is 18-20 ℃ in winter; The temperature of green leaf species is about 15 ℃. If you are afraid of heat in hot summer, you can spray water under the shade to cool down. However, you should pay attention to the fact that the stems and leaves will turn black and rot if they are too hot or too wet. Place in a place with sufficient light in winter and avoid direct sunlight in summer. Every 2-3 years.
The organic substrate with good air permeability and water retention is required for the cultivation of paprika rubra, such as peat soil with perlite or vermiculite, with a ratio of about 6:1. Excessive water content of the cultivation substrate should be avoided. Generally, the water content of the cultivation substrate should be kept at 40-60%.
It is usually placed in a bright indoor or outdoor shade, the optimum temperature is 20-26 ℃, and the winter temperature is more than 5 ℃. The leaves are often sprayed with water to maintain high air humidity. It can also be pruned or transplanted in the courtyard for viewing after a period of maintenance.
Pest control:
There are few diseases of paprika rubra, which are mainly caused by ringspot virus. The damaged plants are dwarfed and the leaves are twisted, which can be sprayed with the same amount of Bordeaux solution. In addition, root rot and scab were also damaged, and 50% carbendazim wettable powder was sprayed 1000 times.
The insect damage occasionally includes scale insects and slugs, which should be prevented and controlled in time.
Hydroponics and soil culture: Hydroponics: Hydroponics is an excellent living model in hydroponics, with 4-5 leaves per plant. It is very easy to adapt to the water environment, will not rot, and is easy to grow. Like warm and humid semi shade environment, not resistant to high temperature, avoid direct sunlight; Drought resistance, not too much watering, especially in autumn and winter to reduce watering. If the air is dry, spray more water on the leaves to avoid frost.
Soil culture of paprika rubra: organic substrate with good air permeability and water retention is required, such as peat soil and perlite or vermiculite, with a ratio of about 6:1. Excessive water content of cultivation substrate is avoided, and 40-60% water content of cultivation substrate is generally maintained.
It is usually placed in a bright indoor or outdoor shade, the optimum temperature is 20-26 ℃, and the winter temperature is more than 5 ℃. The leaves are often sprayed with water to maintain high air humidity. It can also be pruned or transplanted in the courtyard for viewing after a period of maintenance.
