Agricultural technology for growing Cordyline fruticosa seeds
Cordyline is a genus of plants with over 150 species native to tropical and subtropical regions around the world. The plants are known for their decorative leaves, which can be green, red, yellow or variegated.
1. Choosing a landing site
Cordilina prefers well-lit places protected from the wind. The plant can grow in sun or partial shade, but in hot regions it is better to plant it in partial shade. Cordyline does not tolerate stagnant water, so it is important to plant it in elevated areas or in places with good drainage.
2. Soil
Cordyline prefers fertile soils with good drainage. Before planting, it is necessary to dig the soil to a depth of 20-30 cm and add organic fertilizers (humus, compost, peat).
3. Landing
Cordyline can be planted from seeds, cuttings or seedlings.
Sowing seeds: Cordyline seeds are sown in open ground in the spring, when the soil temperature reaches +10 °C. The seeding depth is 2-3 cm. The seeding rate is 20-30 seeds per 1 m².
Cuttings: Cordyline cuttings are cut at the beginning of summer and planted in a greenhouse or greenhouse. Rooting occurs within 2-3 weeks.
Planting seedlings: Cordyline seedlings are planted in open ground in spring or autumn. Seedlings are planted at a distance of 2-3 m from each other.
4. Caring for cordilina
Watering: Cordyline needs regular watering, especially in hot weather. It is necessary to water the plants abundantly, without allowing the soil to dry out.
Feeding: Cordyline needs regular feeding. Plants need to be fed 2-3 times a month during the growing season. Mineral or organic fertilizers are used for fertilizing.
Pruning: Cordyline does not require pruning. However, it can be carried out to form the crown of the plant. Pruning is carried out in spring or autumn.
Diseases and pests: Cordyline is relatively resistant to diseases and pests. However, in some cases, plants may be attacked by the following pests:
- Spider mite: the pest feeds on the sap of leaves, causing the leaves to turn yellow and fall off. Insecticides are used to control the pest.
- Aphids: the pest feeds on the sap of leaves, causing the leaves to become deformed and fall off. Insecticides are used to control the pest.
5. Reproduction
Cordyline propagates by seeds, cuttings or layering.
Seed propagation: Seed propagation is carried out in the spring.
Cuttings: Cuttings are carried out throughout the growing season.
Layering: Layering can be done in spring or autumn.
Cordyline is used for landscaping parks, gardens and other areas. The plant is also well suited for growing in containers.
