Ardisia crenata, also known as "longevity without borders", is a beautiful indoor fruit ornamental plant with beautiful plant shape and bright and lovely fruit, which is deeply loved by people and raised by many people at home. The cultivation methods and matters needing attention of Ardisia crenata are introduced below.
1, soil
For Ardisia crenata potted plants, you can choose flowerpots with vent holes at the bottom. Ardisia crenata likes acidic soil. In alkaline soil, the leaves will be yellow and dull, and in severe cases, they will die. When preparing soil, garden soil, pine needle rotten soil and river sand mixed soil are selected, and a small amount of bone meal or decomposed cake crumbs are added to the soil.
2. Temperature
Ardisia crenata is a plant that likes warm growing environment, and its suitable growing temperature is between 16℃~28C. In addition, it is not a cold-tolerant plant, its overwintering temperature cannot be lower than 5℃, and it is not heat-resistant, and it grows slowly when the summer temperature is higher than 32℃. Therefore, in the cultivation of Ardisia crenata root, it is necessary to take heat preservation measures in winter, shade in summer, spray water on the plants, strengthen ventilation and reduce the temperature of the growing environment.
3. Lighting equipment
Ardisia crenata likes to grow in a semi-shady environment. Scattered light can be used to avoid direct sunlight. Generally, Ardisia crenata roots need sufficient light. However, when the sunlight is too strong, it is necessary to do a good job in shading management. In winter, Ardisia crenata roots can get more sunshine to avoid falling fruit.
water
Ardisia crenata likes to grow in a humid environment, and the relative humidity of the air in the growing environment is required to be 50%-70%. If the growing environment is too dry, it will easily lead to problems such as yellowing and falling off of leaves. Water every 2-3 days during the growing period to ensure the soil is moist. It's hot in summer, so it's necessary to increase the watering frequency appropriately, and water it once in the morning and evening. Water should be controlled in winter, and the basin should not be too wet.
5, fertilization
In order to make the root of Ardisia crenata grow well and bear many beautiful fruits, it is necessary to fertilize and supplement nutrition. Applying a little more fertilizer during the growth of Ardisia crenata root, or applying more phosphorus and potassium fertilizer before flowering, can promote Ardisia crenata root to bloom more vigorously, and stop applying fertilizer immediately after winter, because Ardisia crenata root will enter a dormant state in winter.
prune
After the flowering period of Ardisia crenata root, there will inevitably be some dead branches and leaves on the leaves. If not pruned for a long time, dead branches and leaves will compete with normal branches and leaves for nutrients. Therefore, timely pruning can ensure that the cinnabar lamp will bloom more vigorously in the coming year and promote the flower bud differentiation rate of Ardisia crenata root.
7. Matters needing attention
Many people plant Ardisia crenata root, which only blooms but does not bear fruit. A large part of the reason is that there is no artificial pollination, and pollination naturally cannot bear fruit. Ardisia crenata roots are basically planted indoors, and there is no wind-borne pollination, and there is no insect to help pollination, so it can only be artificially pollinated. When Ardisia crenata is artificially pollinated, the pollen can be gently swept on the tip of the pen with a fine brush, then on the stigma of other flowers, or gently shaken off. Ardisia crenata root is a small safflower, and the pollination success rate is not high. It can be swept back and forth several times to ensure successful pollination.
In addition, to do a good job of changing Ardisia crenata pots, we can change pots every spring and put on new culture * to ensure that Ardisia crenata roots are rich in nutrition, grow more vigorously and bear more fruits.
