Nine-tiered fairy lotus

Chapter 118 The Lotus Terrace Helps Rescue the Sick Plant

When he got home, Hu Tu couldn't wait to take the golden marble out of the flowerpot, and put the whole thing into the space, thinking of the word "save it" with all his might.He didn't know if Hu Xiaolian could do this, and he didn't know what method Liantai would use, or just treat the potted flower as a dead plant and digest it.

This is just an experiment.

Of course, the bargaining chip in this experiment is a bit high, not to mention the value of the golden marble tree itself, even the price he bought is not low.And it was too risky, because he could experiment with other diseased plants to find out the rules before treating them, but since this plant was seriously ill, he had no choice but to put all his eggs in one basket.

"I hope Hu Xiaolian can do it." He prayed, "Don't disappoint my expectations." He observed carefully, watching the silk threads spread all over become tentacles, and in a slow and special way, he removed the cold-eroded soil, and remove dead roots.

"This is not devouring, this is treating." Hu Tu read happily, "At least this shows that this bonsai can be saved. Haha, then I have to find out what's going on. If someone asks about it later, At least you can prevaricate."

As if a stone in his heart had fallen to the ground, he felt relaxed all over, watching the treatment process carefully, it seemed quite simple and rough.Seven or eight colored silk threads are like hanging needles, piercing into the body of the golden marble, constantly transporting nutrients in.But the truth hidden in it is not something laymen can see through.

After paying attention to it for a period of time, there was no movement, and Hu Tu felt a little tired.Although he also raised plants, he didn't pay too much attention to them, so he didn't know much about the characteristics of plants.

Raising plants is the same as raising children, three points and seven points, etc. Even if the growth speed of the plants in the lotus space is many times that of the outside, you must wait patiently.

Hu Tu turned on the computer and searched for information on golden marbles, treatment and prevention of diseased plants.

Golden marble, also known as vase orchid, is an evergreen shrub or small tree.The flowers and fruits are still beautiful, suitable for planting in the garden for viewing, suitable for making tree stump bonsai.The fruit does not fall for a long time and looks like a bullet, so it is called "golden marble".The fruit is inedible and slightly poisonous.

The golden marble is a very festive fruit, especially during the period from New Year's Day to the Spring Festival every year, the fruit-bearing golden marble changes from green to red among the green leaves, and the red and green complement each other, with iron trunks and branches, full of vitality.

Golden marbles are dioecious, so there are two kinds of fruit-bearing and non-fruit-bearing.There are also male plants bearing fruit, but the possibility of female plants bearing male flowers is very small.From the analysis of tree shape, trunk skin color, leaf shape, leaf color, and leaf veins, it is impossible to accurately determine the male and female of the stump. Only by observing the flowers of the golden marble can the male and female be accurately distinguished.

There are more than two flowers under each leaf bud of the male plant. The flowers are like small lanterns, and the flower pedicles have no claws.The female plant has only one or two flowers under each leaf bud, and the body is larger than the male flower. The four-leaf flower claws wrap the flower center in a triangle shape. After the flowers bloom, the flower claws open like persimmon flowers, and young fruits can be seen in the flowers.

Hu Tu's pot of golden marbles had no fruit or flowers, so he couldn't tell the male and female. He paid special attention to how to make it bear fruit.

Because golden marbles are dioecious, during the flowering period, try to make sure that there are male plants blooming next to the female plants, so as to naturally pollinate and increase the fruit setting rate.If there are no male plants blooming next to the female plants, artificial pollination can be carried out.

When the flower of the female plant falls, the fruit has already hung on the flower pedicle. At this time, 1:800 potassium dihydrogen phosphate can be sprayed twice every half month to increase the fruit setting rate.In September of the lunar calendar, 1:600 ​​urea water can also be sprayed twice, which can make the fruit big and shiny.

According to this method of cultivation and management, the golden marbles will flourish from October to February of the following year, and the branches will be full of red fruits, which can give people a feeling of harvest, joy, peace and beauty.

As for Hu Xiaolian's treatment method for this golden marble, Hu Tu also found a similar source.

Among garden arboriculture, there is a method of "infusion" for trees.This is a method of supplementing nutrients for large trees first proposed by the Sichuan Chemical Institute since the 80s.This method is of great significance for the rejuvenation of old trees, and it also has its unique effect on transplanting and keeping alive ordinary large trees.

A tree also has its "vessels".Plant roots absorb water and mineral salts from soil or water bodies and transport them up through the xylem to other parts of the plant, such as the leaves.Organic matter is produced in the leaves (and in the green stems of some plants) and is transported by the phloem to other parts of the plant, such as the roots.

Depending on where the "infusion" is expected to reach, the "needle" is inserted into the xylem or phloem of the tree.

As for Hutu's golden marble tree, its leaves were yellow and withered, and its roots were rotten, so it obviously needed treatment.Those threads of input energy obviously aimed at both aspects.

The method of infusion is not difficult.After punching a hole in the trunk, get a bag of liquid medicine, connect it to a catheter, and insert it into the trunk of the big tree.It is almost exactly the same as the way the human body makes a bottle infusion.

The liquid "transported" to the tree by the hanging bottle contains a variety of trace elements, vitamins and regulators necessary for the tree, especially the regulator contained in it has a good effect on enhancing the stress resistance of the tree.

Of course, it is very important to learn scientific infusion. If you blindly believe in and abuse this method, you may be able to kill good plants.To know what kind of infusion solution, dosage, infusion site, and infusion time can achieve good results, a certain amount of professional knowledge is still required.

Different occasions have different recipes.It is more complicated, and Hu Tu compares them one by one with the situation of this tree.

There are generally two situations in which plants are bottled, one is to prevent and control pests and diseases, and the other is to fertilize plants.The latter are mostly.The main components of the infusion liquid used for fertilization are water and inorganic salts. Therefore, this method is used for infusion in the aspects of transplanting large trees, rejuvenating weak trees, rejuvenating ancient and famous trees, and first aiding trees.

In addition, it is also widely used in the process of transplanting large trees or out-of-season planting, generally to break dormancy and promote growth.For transplanted trees, the root damage is relatively large, and the absorption capacity of the roots cannot reach a level sufficient to maintain the survival of the plant for a long time, so some big tree nutrient solution needs to be injected into the big tree by "infusion". Among the branches, the life activities of the big tree are maintained.

Hutu's golden marble tree also lacks the absorption capacity of its roots, which is similar to the transplanted tree, but the damage is more severe.It should also be possible to maintain vitality by inputting the nutrient solution of the big tree!

But generally speaking, the plants suitable for the infusion method have thicker branches.They all use hard plastic tubes with a thickness of three or four millimeters, which are inserted into the trunk of the plant for infusion.

And Hutu's golden marble tree, with its rough and thin branches, is obviously not suitable for such a rough thing. "Tomorrow, I will buy some equipment for giving people injections, and try to see if I can revive it with infusion. Anyway, with Hu Xiaolian here, I don't have any worries. At least I can find a method that can be explained to people, and it will be good for future sales. Make a bedding."
