Yushu, also known as cheeky, is similar in appearance to the paws of swallows and is often treated as a flower for maintenance. The leaves are thick and the stems are thick, not to mention the beautiful flowers that can bloom all over the tree. It is simply the best choice for lazy people to raise flowers!
Is everyone stunned by such a shocking Yushu? In fact, Yushu is a kind of lazy flower that is particularly easy to raise. Most people can raise 10 years, 20 years or even 30 years. How do people raise them?
1, get more sunshine.
No matter what kind of Yushu is, sufficient sunshine is a necessary condition for its growth. Usually put it in Nanyang terrace, south window sill and other well-lit places to bask in the sun, and conditionally put it in the outdoor exposure, which can make Yushu more solid and thick!
2. Water shortage
Yushu is a drought-tolerant variety and does not need much water. Generally, you can water the pot soil as long as it turns white. You can also find a chopstick, poke it 3-5cm below the pot soil, pull it out and feel dry before watering it. Generally, watering 1 time a month is enough. The temperature is low in winter, and you can live for 2 months without watering!
3, thin fat and diligent application
Yushu's demand for chemical fertilizer is not so great. In order to make it grow faster, some nitrogen fertilizer can be added. When changing pots, chicken manure and sheep manure can be mixed at the bottom of pots as base fertilizer, so that roots can absorb nutrients from the soil.
Usually, you can sprinkle some compound fertilizer or slow-release fertilizer into the flowerpot, or you can pour some homemade rice washing water and fish tank water. The easiest way is to water 1, water 1 time every half month, and mix a pinch each time, which is enough for the growth of Yushu!
4, broken pots can also be raised.
Yushu skin is easy to raise, don't pick flowerpots. Use whatever you have at home, whether it's a broken porcelain basin, a vat or even a pig trough, you can plant Yushu, and the stems are still strong and the roots are still strong!
Yushu cuts 1 knife every month and grows into a big pile that pokes the roof!
In addition to daily maintenance, the pruning shape of Yushu is also very important. Yushu can grow better as long as it is carefully pruned!
1, light cut daily.
In the process of Yushu's growth, there are bound to be messy branches for various reasons. We can find a pair of scissors, click a few times and trim them to make its overall shape more beautiful.
2, modeling pruning
1, unfinished
If Yushu wants to grow into an old pile with big thick poles, only 1 main branch can be left, and the extra branches can be directly cut off.
When pruning branches, you can cut them off from the slightly longer nodes, so that after pruning, the remaining node ends will fall off from the nodes themselves, leaving no traces of pruning, making the whole plant more beautiful.
If only one main branch is left, with the continuous growth of Yushu, the crown width will gradually increase, which is prone to top-heavy and even bending branches. So starting from the seedlings, we can support a pole in the flowerpot and tie the trunk and pole together to play a supporting role.
Like the giant Yushu that has been raised for many years, you can insert a circle of bamboo poles around the flowerpot. On the one hand, it plays a supporting role and prevents the whole plant from lodging. On the other hand, bamboo poles can shape branches and make them more beautiful!
2.y-shaped modeling
If the Yushu tree at home is particularly messy and can't tell where the trunk is, you can leave 1 as the trunk, or you can leave 2-3 as the trunk, but you must ensure that the trunk is strong, so as to support the branches and leaves that come out after the pot bursts.
Huayou "Beer Beer Camp" has a Yushu tree, which is really messy, so it should be trimmed into a Y shape.
Decide which branch you want to keep as the main branch first, and then cut off the one that won't be the main branch directly.
After pruning, remove all the remaining buds from the pruned branches, so that there will be no side branches at the incision!
After pruning inspection, it was found that all the bent branches were cut off, which not only consumed nutrition but also affected the appearance.
Because you want to make a Y-shape, you should put the main branch straight and observe it carefully, and cut the left and right main branches short.
Pruned Yushu has changed from the previous one into a Y-shape, which looks much fresher! With the continuous growth of Yushu, as long as the two main branches remain unchanged, the whole shape will not change, and the whole plant type will become more and more beautiful!
have one's head shaved clean—score no points in a game
Generally, shaving Yushu heads is watered by leaves. When the branches are messy, light scissors can't solve it. Because Yushu is particularly leathery, even if you shave your head, you can still grow very fast!
When shaving your head, you must be cruel, leaving only the thick trunk branches, other small side branches and messy branches and leaves cut off. After cutting, the whole plant looks bare.
After pruning, put Yushu in a well-scattered place, dry the wound, and then you can move to a well-lit place to get more sunshine. /kloc-within 0/month, many new buds will appear on the bare branches of Yushu!
Yushu was cut 100% alive!
Yushu skin is easy to raise and cut. Whether cutting or cutting leaves, the survival rate is particularly high!
1, when pruning, trim the cut branches slightly and put them in a well-ventilated place to dry for a while, then they can be used for cutting.
2. Prepare slightly moist soil, insert branches or leaves that need to be cut directly into the soil and put them in a place with good scattered light. If the temperature at home is low in winter, you can put a plastic bag to keep warm.
3. Cuttings can take root in about 1 month. After rooting, you can start pruning and shaping from small plants, which can make them look better from small plants, so you don't have to bother pruning in the future!
You don't have to worry about the leaves falling from the branches. Just sprinkle a handful and throw it on the slightly moist soil. It will germinate in about 2 months, and you will get new Yushu seedlings soon!
What if Yushu is rotten?
1, Yushu at home, if the stem is pinched soft, then nine times out of ten it is rotten root! After rotten roots, take Yushu out of the pot and check the root system. You can clearly see that the root system is rotten!
2. Find a clean knife and cut off the rotten roots of Yushu. Remember to disinfect the knife before cutting to prevent bacterial infection. When cutting, until the cutting surface shows white and healthy stems.
3. Then soak the plant in carbendazim solution for half an hour, then take it out and put it in a place with good scattered light to dry the incision. You can also directly sprinkle some carbendazim powder on the wound.
4. Re-prepare loose and breathable nutrient soil to make the soil in a slightly moist state, and then put Yushu, which dries the wound, in a basin where scattered light is good for about 2-3 weeks, so that the roots can slowly regenerate.
5. After surviving, move to a well-lit place to bask in the sun, water less, and add some nitrogen fertilizer such as compound fertilizer, and soon Yushu will grow stronger and stronger!
Yushu is so cultivated that it blooms every year!
Yushu was so beautiful in bloom. Small and exquisite flowers are dotted among the green leaves. Once it blooms, it becomes a beautiful flower tree!
1, ground cultivation and open cultivation
Yushu at home does not bloom, which may be related to your long-term indoor maintenance. If possible, move Yushu to a place with good outdoor light and get more sunshine. Full sunshine is the best. If you have a yard at home, you can plant it in the ground. Yushu planted in the ground has thick stems and is easy to bloom!
2. Supplement phosphorus and potassium fertilizer
Before the flowering season of Yushu, you can use some potassium dihydrogen phosphate or Huaduoduo No.2, and spray it 1 time in 15 days, and you will soon see that Yushu will grow buds and bloom beautiful flowers!
3, 5 years or more will bloom.
According to the normal growth rate, Yushu at home can generally bloom after more than 5 years. Of course, this is also related to your local climate and conservation conditions. If Yushu at home is still a small stem and wants to blossom, it will take several years.
