Recently, many people are raising a plant called mountain tortoise. It has a large tuber underneath, and its maintenance is very simple. Basically, it does not need to be watered to make it flourish. , Climbing vines all over the shelf, very beautiful. However, many people will not raise it after buying it. Due to improper maintenance, the bulbous roots underneath will rot, and eventually one of them will rot completely. Today, I will tell you about the maintenance methods of mountain tortoises. You must learn the four formulas, then your mountain tortoise will be able to grow up leaves, crawling all over the frame, and the leaves are as beautiful as copper coins.
1. Do not bury the roots on the soil surface
When many people planted mountain tortoises, they would bury the mountain tortoise directly in the ground. The rhizome is to be exposed, so what we have to do is to buy a mountain tortoise, don’t plant it in a hurry, first put it in a well-ventilated place to dry, find a flowerpot first, and add ventilation to the flowerpot For good soil, the flower pot should be a circle larger than its tuber, and then directly water it. Generally, let it dry for two or three days. The soil will also be in a rapid drying process, and the soil surface will be slightly moist. What needs to be done is to press the bottom of the mountain tortoise directly to the surface of the soil, and press it down slightly, so that the bottom and the surface of the soil are fully integrated, so that he will slowly grow roots, because the bottom is in contact with the moist soil, he has The moist air root system will slowly grow from the bottom and gradually penetrate into the soil to root in this way. It is not easy to rot.
2, the maintenance light must not be less
Many people say that it is enough to grow in a dark environment directly, and he can grow in a dark environment.It is more shade-tolerant, but in a dark environment, the leaves will grow relatively small, and the distance between the leaves and the leaves will be very large, so if you want to grow well, you must see the light, especially It has just been planted, and the light must not be less during the early stage of growth. In this way, if there is sufficient light, the root system will grow quickly and the leaves will grow bigger. If the branches grow thick and leafy in the later stage, you can move to a weak one. In this environment, he won't have any problems.
3. Normally, water and fertilizer can’t be used frequently
mountain tortoise has a large root underneath, so don’t water too much in the process of maintenance. It is easy to cause the underground rhizome to rot, and eventually the whole plant will rot completely, so less watering and fertilization are required. Raising it at home, generally wait until the pot soil is more than half dry before watering it, so that it will not rot the roots, but will make the roots grow thicker. Fertilizers should also be used for him. Don’t use too much. Generally, give him a supplement once a month. Sprinkle a multi-element slow-release fertilizer on the surface of the pot soil and irrigate a multi-element fertilizer with balanced nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium regularly for a month, such as The universal nutrient solution that we know, keeps growing in this way, it can grow rapidly, the nutrients stored in the bulb are enough, and gradually become bigger, its branches and leaves will grow more luxuriantly.
4, regularly topping to grow big leaves
mountain tortoise we found in the process of raising branches, but no leaves, how did the leaves grow out? This is very small, what is the reason? Because the mountain tortoise has a characteristic in the process of growth, that is, its leaves do not grow after the branches grow out, but there are very small leaves. If it grows to a certain height, you can knock off the top in time, then the leaves below it Will gradually become bigger,It is round and round like a coin. Therefore, in the process of maintaining the mountain tortoise, the height reaches the height we want, and the top is cut off in time. If the top is cut off, it will quickly grow big leaves, and some new shoots will grow underneath. .
Mountain tortoise is also called Jinbuhuan. It is a very good Chinese medicinal material. It is used as a root plant to raise in the home. The effect of climbing vines is very good, and it is used as a TV wall to make it full The whole wall is also very beautiful, and the overall shade resistance is relatively strong. If you want to raise it well and be able to watch the leaves, and you don’t need to water frequently, then you can raise it, according to Xiaoqi’s words The four-sentence formula, keep in mind that in your home, you can grow big and round leaves that can be directly covered, and its meaning is also very good, you can keep it at home.
