Breeding methods and precautions of Cycas polycephala share breeding methods and precautions.

1, culture method:

The best breeding time: Cycas polycephala adopts tillering propagation, and the tillering time can be carried out in spring and autumn. The effect is best in April-May in spring.

The best growing soil: Cycas polycephala is preferably fertile sandy loam. The proportion is one part loam, one part humus and one part fly ash, which are fully mixed. This kind of soil is loose and fertile, permeable and breathable, which is very suitable for the growth of Cycas.

Growth humidity requirements: Cycas multicinctus is drought-resistant and keeps soil moisture about 60%.

Optimum growth temperature: The optimum growth temperature of Cycas polycephala is 24 ~ 27℃.

Optimum growth light: Cycas polycephala is a positive plant and should be placed in a sunny and well-ventilated place.

2. Precautions:

Fertilization: Fertilize polycyclic cycads. It is best to apply decomposed cake fertilizer once a month. Remember to wait until the leaves turn green and shiny, not too thick.

Key points of watering: cycad bears drought. Generally, water is poured once a week during the growing period. After autumn, control the water content. If it is white, water it more. Don't water it if it is wet. I remember it was too wet and rotten.

Pruning essentials: When the stem of Cycas multicinctus grows to 50㎝, the old leaves should be cut off in spring, and then cut once a year, or at least once every three years. If the plant is still small and the spreading degree is not ideal, all the leaves can be cut off, which will not affect the angle of new leaves and make the plant more perfect. When pruning, try to cut to the base of petiole to make the stem neat and beautiful.

Change the pot soil: potted Cycas should pay attention to changing the pot, generally not more than 5 years. When changing pots, phosphate fertilizer such as bone powder can be mixed into the pot soil, and the pot changing time is about 15℃. At this time, the growth is vigorous, and some old roots should be cut off appropriately to facilitate the timely growth of new roots.
