Tillering time of Cycas

It is suitable for early spring from January to February

Tillering bud of Cycas

The sprouting parts of Cycas tiller buds are concentrated in the stem base and cadres. It is suitable to choose plump tiller buds with more than 3 years or 4 or 5 leaves as breeding materials. Never choose Tender tiller buds, which are not easy to survive. Use a sharp knife to cut the tiller buds from the foundation. Pay attention and be careful when cutting, so as to minimize the damage to the stem skin. The rooted tiller buds can be directly planted in the well drained and breathable culture soil rich in humus for management. If they are not rooted, they should be placed in a cool and ventilated place for about 2 or 3 days, and then the rooting treatment can be carried out after the incision is slightly dry

Root accelerating of Cycas

It is best to treat the wound before planting to avoid decay. Generally, you can apply plant ash, sulfur powder, etc. Then plant it in plain sand, the depth of substrate is about half of the height of tiller bud, water it once, and then put it in a place with light indoors for maintenance. Generally, new roots can germinate in about 2 months, and 1-2 new leaves can be produced in about 3 or 4 months< br>

Transplanting of Cycads

When the new leaves are fully expanded, they can be moved into the culture soil for management. The culture soil is generally suitable to be mixed with rotten leaf soil, mycorrhizal soil, river sand and calcium magnesium phosphate fertilizer in the proportion of 9:4:6:1

Management of Cycas after tillering

Cycas like light. We should ensure sufficient light. Especially during the period of leaf growth, Cycas must be placed in the sun, otherwise the new leaves will be slender and reduce the ornamental. In terms of watering, it is sufficient to "do not dry, do not pour, pour thoroughly", and pay attention to avoid ponding in the basin. Cycas can endure barren soil, and the requirement for fertility is not high. In terms of fertilization, pancake fertilizer and water can be applied once a month during Cycas seedling period. In its vigorous growth period, 0.3% urea liquid fertilizer and 0.2% potassium dihydrogen phosphate liquid fertilizer can be applied alternately every 20 days, or topdressing outside the root can be carried out, and 0.1% ferrous sulfate liquid fertilizer can be used< span>
