The cultivation method of cotinus coggygria is a semi-evergreen shrub or small tree, which is oval to nearly round, red to purplish red, and has a terminal panicle, which has good ornamental effect. For the convenience of everyone, the cultivation methods of cotinus coggygria are shared below.

Cotinus coggygria1i. Cultivation method of Cotinus coggygria

Cotinus coggygria pot culture medium can be made by mixing culture soil, peat soil and coarse sand. It is not advisable to water too much during the growing period to avoid water accumulation in the basin. When the temperature drops in autumn and winter, watering should be strictly controlled. If the soil in the basin is too wet, it will easily lead to defoliation or even root rot. Fertilization can be applied once every half month in the growing season, and phosphorus and potassium fertilizer can be added for 2 ~ 3 times to keep the plants vigorous and prevent the branches from growing in vain.

The growing season of cotinus coggygria should be sunny, but it should be shaded in summer to avoid direct sunlight. In the process of culture, try to move as little as possible to avoid breaking branches and leaves and bleeding milk. Suitable growth temperature: 18 ~ 24℃ from April to September, and 13 ~ 18℃ from September to next April. The overwintering temperature should not be lower than 10 degrees Celsius, otherwise the leaves will easily discolor and fall off.

Cotinus coggygria is resistant to pruning and has strong branching ability. Plant leaves are easy to fade or fall off in winter, so pruning should be combined with changing pots in spring to remove dead branches, depress plant shape and promote its multi-branching. At the same time, cotinus coggygria grows faster in summer. If the plant is too high, it can be picked properly to keep the plant plump and beautiful.

Second, the breeding points of cotinus coggygria

1. Early summer is suitable for cutting propagation. Cut off the mature branches with vigorous growth, and cut them to a length of 10 ~ 15 cm, so that the white milk flowing from the branches is slightly dry, and then insert them into the breeding sand bed. Keep the sand bed moist and the environment of 22 ~ 25 degrees Celsius, and take root in 15 ~ 20 days. When the roots grow to 5 ~ 6 cm, plant them in a pot again.

2. Seeds can be sown and propagated immediately after harvest, otherwise the seeds will easily lose their germination ability. Seeds are evenly sown in the wet sand bed, and the bed temperature is kept at 25 ~ 30 degrees Celsius, which can germinate about 1 month, and the seedlings can be transplanted when they grow to 10 cm.

Soil cultivation method of Cotinus coggygria No.2

Cotinus coggygria likes loose, nutritious and well-drained soil.

sunlight

When growing at ordinary times, we should try our best to let Cotinus coggygria accept the sunshine, which is conducive to growth. Especially in winter, sunshine can help it spend the winter. However, you should pay attention to shading at noon in summer to avoid sunburn.

moisture

When cotinus coggygria grows vigorously in spring and summer, it is necessary to increase the amount and frequency of watering. By the end of autumn, you can basically stop watering, because there is not much demand for water at this time.

temperature

The normal temperature of Cotinus coggygria in Cang Qiao is about 20℃, so we don't have to pay too much attention to the temperature in spring, summer and autumn, but if the temperature is too low in autumn, we should take some cold-proof measures.

Growth habit of cotinus coggygria

It can also be seen from the latitude and longitude of the place of origin that Cotinus coggygria likes a relatively warm environment. It needs a lot of water, so we must pay more attention to watering it during the growing period. In addition, it has a great demand for sunlight and likes to grow in a warm and sunny environment. But when it rains very frequently in summer, we should pay attention to drainage, otherwise the accumulated water will lead to rotten roots.
