Cultivation method of PLATYPHYLLUM PLATYPHYLLUM (basic knowledge): the best propagation time: PLATYPHYLLUM PLATYPHYLLUM cutting propagation: from April to September. Sowing propagation: from April to May.

The best growing soil: duck foot potted soil can be peat soil, rotten leaf soil plus about 1 / 3 of perlite and a small amount of base fertilizer.

Growth humidity requirements: duck foot wood like warm and humid environment, avoid hot sun irradiation, more resistant to shade. It grows well in the environment of high air humidity and sufficient soil moisture.

The best growth temperature: the wood likes the warm environment, the suitable temperature for growth is 15-25 ℃, the lowest temperature in winter should not be lower than 5 ℃, otherwise the leaves will fall off. New leaves will appear next spring.

The best growth light: yajiaomu, which likes half shade, can be viewed for a long time in a bright and well ventilated home. Such as indoor about 4 hours of direct light every day that can grow well. The varieties with yellow and white stripes will lose their original characteristics if the light is too weak or nitrogen fertilizer is applied.

Matters needing attention in the cultivation of flowering duck foot wood: fertilizer application: liquid fertilizer is applied once every 1-2 weeks in the growing season of duck foot wood. During the growing period in summer, the fertilizer should be applied once a week, and the granular fertilizer of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium can be applied after loosening the soil. For the variegated leaf species, less nitrogen fertilizer was applied, while for the variegated leaf species, more nitrogen fertilizer was applied, and the patches would gradually fade and turn green.

Key points of watering: the amount of watering varies with seasons. More water is needed in summer. Water once a day to keep the basin soil moist. Water once every 3-4 days in spring and autumn.

Pruning tips: duck foot wood grows slowly, and easy to sprout long branches, usually need regular pruning. When the old plants are too large for indoor cultivation, they can be re pruned by changing pots to remove most of the branches, and at the same time, part of the roots can be cut off and potted again.

Basin soil replacement: the young plants change the basin every spring, and the adult plants change the basin once every two years. If using plastic containers, pay attention to drainage. The pot soil is made up of peat soil, rotten leaf soil, perlite and a small amount of base fertilizer. It can also be potted in fine sand soil.

Breeding points: commonly used sowing and cutting propagation. 1. Sowing: it should be sown in spring, keep the soil moist, and sprout in 2-3 weeks at 20-25 ℃.

2. Cutting: in spring, cut 8-10cm annual branches, remove the lower leaves, cut on the bed soil made of river sand or vermiculite, keep warm and moisture, and take root at 25 ℃ for 4-6 weeks.

Pest control: leaf spot and anthracnose are the main diseases of duck foot wood, which can be sprayed with 10% antibacterial agent 401 acetic acid solution 1000 times. The main pests were scale insects, which were sprayed with 1000 times 40% Omethoate EC. In addition, red spider, thrips and leaf miner can be sprayed with 10% permethrin EC 3000 times.

The experience of cultivating and breeding duck foot wood: 1. Upper pot: select strong seedlings with developed and complete root system and plant them in pot at the end of autumn or before germination in spring. Before planting, the tile should be padded in the water hole at the bottom of the container, and part of the nutrient soil should be filled in the container. After planting, the soil should be filled to make the root and soil closely connected. The soil surface should be level with the edge of the basin. After watering, the soil surface should be about 5cm away from the edge of the basin as the watering nozzle.

2. Placement: new plants should be placed in semi shade for a week, and then gradually transferred to sunny places for normal management.
