Agricultural technology for growing Rhodomyrtus tomentosa seeds
The genus Rhodomyrt (Rhodomyrtus) includes more than 100 species of evergreen shrubs and trees native to tropical and subtropical regions of Asia, Australia and Oceania. The plants are known for their ornamental flowers and fruits.
1. Choosing a landing site
Rodomirtus 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. Rhodomyrthus does not tolerate stagnant water, so it is important to plant it in elevated areas or in places with good drainage.
2. Soil
Rhodomyrtus 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
Rhodomyrthus can be planted by seeds, cuttings or seedlings.
Sowing seeds: Rhodomyrtus 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: Rhodomyrtus cuttings are cut at the beginning of summer and planted in a greenhouse or greenhouse. Rooting occurs within 2-3 weeks.
Planting seedlings: Rhodomyrtus 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 rhodomyrthus
Watering: Rhodomyrthus needs regular watering, especially in hot weather. It is necessary to water the plants abundantly, without allowing the soil to dry out.
Feeding: Rodomyrtus 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: Rhodomyrthus needs regular pruning. Pruning is carried out in spring or autumn. Pruning promotes the formation of the plant crown and abundant flowering.
Diseases and pests: Rhodomyrtus is relatively resistant to diseases and pests. However, in some cases, plants may be attacked by the following pests:
- 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.
- 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.
5. Reproduction
Rhodomyrtus 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.
Rodomirthus is used for landscaping parks, gardens and other areas. The plant is also well suited for growing in containers.
