Dendrocalamus latiflorus belongs to Verbenaceae, with white appearance and red petals. Looks very pure and noble. It belongs to Verbenaceae, but it is not widely known now. Its hometown originated in the tropical region of western Africa, and now it is also cultivated in China. Because Longtu bamboos are cultivated in pots, pots of 12- 15cm are commonly used, and three Longtu bamboos can be planted in one pot. If the humidity of the pot soil of Dendrocalamus latiflorus is too high, the leaves will fall off or turn yellow. If the branches are not withered, there is no need to water them, so that they can recover and grow new leaves again. Since it is made in China, it is big. Therefore, in order to ensure the beautiful appearance, it is necessary to trim the dragon spit beads. So today, Bian Xiao will introduce to you how to prune the dragon spit beads and the pruning method of the dragon spit beads. Let's have a look!

1. When will the dragon spit beads be pruned?

If we want our dragon spit beads to grow beautiful, let them grow to 15cm when cutting or after sowing, and only 10cm away from the spout, then we can cut off branches and promote the germination of new branches. In the growing period, we need to strictly control the height of its other branches, but also top and core, so that the branches it grows can be neat and beautiful, and the flowers will be more beautiful in the future. After 15 days of coring, we can control the height of plants by spraying Bijie or chlormequat chloride, so as to achieve the effect of more short leaves and more flowers. When changing pots every spring, remember to trim the plants that grow to the ground to make them look more round and have more branches and flowers.

Second, how to trim the dragon spit beads

Dendrocalamus latiflorus is a "Parthenocissus tricuspidata" shrub. In order to maintain the aesthetic effect of its plants, the length of its plants must be strictly controlled and trimmed. Usually when changing pots in April, we will cut off branches at the mouth of the inner pot to make it grow new branches. When turning pots in spring, it is necessary to carry out many times of pit removal treatment to make plants more round, more branches and better flowers. After each flowering, the stems should be removed in time.

Third, the treatment of cut flowers of Dragon Tuzhu

When dragon spit beads are used as cut flowers, if more flowers need to be produced from the pruned branches, flower lovers planted in large areas need to pay attention to this one. Longtu bamboo leaves are dark green, calyx is like jade, corolla is dark red, which is very artistic. It is beautiful to put potted plants at home on the balcony or bedroom of the hall as decoration, adding a greenness and vitality to your room. Flowers are very sensitive to ethylene during storage and transportation. Spray 0.4 mol/L silver thiosulfate solution/0/0 day before storage and transportation. Flowering plants without spraying silver thiosulfate solution are transported in the dark for more than one day, and if the temperature is lower than 20 degrees, the flowers will fall off.

Fourth, matters needing attention in changing pots with dragon spit beads

Generally, Longtuzhu 1-2 years are changed, either in early spring or after the flowers wither. Before replacement, pad the drainage hole, add a small amount of bone meal as base fertilizer, and put in new culture soil. The culture soil is prepared according to the ratio of decomposed soil to sandy soil = 4: 4: 2. Leave a 2-3 cm hole on it for later watering and fertilization.
