Cultivation methods, precautions and pruning methods of Ardisia crenata root.

How to raise Ardisia crenata

Ardisia crenata is a plant that is easy to cultivate and manage.

Choose a flowerpot with a suitable size, and cover the bottom hole of the flowerpot with two tiles or thin foam boards to ensure that the soil of the flowerpot is not washed away by water, and the excess water can flow out in time.

Spread a layer of ceramsite or broken red brick on the ceramic tile or foam as the filter layer, with a thickness of about 2 ~ 3 cm.

Put the fertilizer from the fertilizer applicator on the drainage layer, with a thickness of about 1 ~ 3cm, and put a thin layer of substrate on the fertilizer, with a thickness of about 2cm, to separate the root system from the fertilizer. Finally, the Ardisia crenata root plants are put in and filled with nutrient soil, which is about 2 ~ 3cm away from the hukou.

When Ardisia crenata seedlings are put into a pot or big plants raised for several years are transferred to the pot, a layer of coarse-grained substrate with a thickness of 2-3cm is placed at the bottom of the pot as a filter layer, and a layer of fully decomposed organic fertilizer with a thickness of about1-2cm is sprinkled on it as a base fertilizer, and then a thin-layer substrate with a thickness of about1-2cm is covered, and then the plants are put in, so that the fertilizer and the roots can be mixed.

One of the following substrates can be selected for Ardisia crenata root basin: vegetable garden soil: slag = 3:1; After the potted plants are finished, water them once and maintain them in a cool environment for a week.

When transplanting cinnabar root seedlings, first dig a planting hole, sprinkle a layer of organic fertilizer at the bottom of the planting hole as a base fertilizer (base fertilizer) with a thickness of about 4 ~ 6 cm, then cover it with a layer of soil and put in cinnabar root seedlings to separate the fertilizer from the root system and avoid burning the roots.

After seeding, backfill the soil, cover the root system, stamp the soil with your feet and water it once.

Growth habit of Ardisia crenata

Ardisia crenata likes warm, humid, cool and ventilated environment, and has low requirements for soil, but acidic or slightly acidic sandy loam with loose and humid soil layer, good drainage and rich humus is better.

The optimum growth temperature of Ardisia crenata is 16 ~ 30℃. When the natural temperature is higher than 32℃, Ardisia crenata will stop growing. Shading, ventilation and humidification (air relative humidity is 70% ~ 80%) should be strengthened to cool down.

Ardisia crenata root is not drought-resistant, barren-resistant, insolated, grows poorly in full light, and is not suitable for water and humid environment.

When the temperature is below 3℃ in winter, anti-freezing measures should be taken.
