How much does a Ping'an tree cost per plant on the market?
The original name of the Ping'an tree is Lanyu cinnamon (Cinnamomum kotoense). Because its bark can be used as medicine, it has effects such as promoting blood circulation and strengthening the stomach, relieving pain and resolving blood stasis, and so on, and it has a certain edible value. At the same time, its bark can purify the air and absorb odors, bringing health to people's home environment and making it a guardian of people's health. Therefore, it was renamed Ping'an tree, implying peace and health. Now let's take a look at the market price of the Ping'an tree!
The market price of the Ping'an tree
The Ping'an tree carries the meaning of happiness and peace. In daily life, it is also a very popular modern ornamental plant. Its price can be set according to its height and the beauty of its leaves. Generally, a Ping'an tree about half a meter tall is priced at around 200 yuan. Of course, the variety and crown width of the Ping'an tree will also affect its price, and at the same time, auctions or celebrations can also affect the price of the Ping'an tree.
The cultivation benefits of the Ping'an tree
1. Medicinal value: The bark of the Ping'an tree can be used as medicine, and has the effects of dispelling wind and dispersing cold, relieving pain and resolving blood stasis, and promoting blood circulation and strengthening the stomach.
2. Air purification: The Ping'an tree has the effect of purifying indoor air and absorbing decoration pollution. It is rich in cinnamon oil (the main component is cinnamaldehyde), which can give off a fragrance that corrects odors and purifies the air.
3. Feng shui effect: The Ping'an tree can be placed in relatively spacious places such as the living room and balcony, because the Ping'an tree is an evergreen plant that can change the indoor airflow, increase the indoor vitality, and make people feel a warm breath of life. At the same time, the Ping'an tree can eliminate indoor odors, bringing health and peace to people.
How to cultivate the Ping'an tree
1. Potting soil selection: For the potting soil of a potted Ping'an tree, it is best to use loose, fertile, well-drained, acidic sandy loam rich in organic matter. This is also the potting soil requirement for most indoor flower cultivation. If the soil is heavily sticky or has low acidity, it will cause the leaves of the cultivated plant to turn yellow and the sprouting and renewal to decline, thereby affecting the plant's lifespan.
2. Suitable temperature: The optimal temperature for the growth of the Ping'an tree is 22°C to 30°C, and the lowest temperature must not be lower than 5°C. If there is freezing or consecutive days of frost, good insulation work should be done to prevent the bark from freezing and cracking and the branches and leaves from withering, and in severe cases it may freeze to death.
3. Light requirements: All plant cultivation requires good light for photosynthesis in order to promote effective growth. As a light-loving plant, the Ping'an tree naturally needs sufficient light, but at the same time it is also very afraid of strong sunlight exposure. Therefore, under the scorching sun in summer, effective shading protection should be given to the tree, and the pot can also be placed in a position with weaker indoor sunlight, where it can still grow well, because the Ping'an tree is also relatively shade-tolerant. In addition, for plants that have grown for three to five years, direct sunlight exposure should be avoided, while for plants that have grown for six to ten years, more light can be given to promote their effective growth.
4. Timely watering: During the growth period of the Ping'an tree in spring and summer, the potting soil must always be kept moist, and the leaves and the cultivation environment should be sprayed with water frequently to maintain good air humidity in the cultivation environment. In addition, when watering, some vinegar can be added to increase the acidity of the soil. Especially in response to the relatively insufficient acid in northern soil, vinegar can be added to the water to regulate the acidity of the soil.
5. Reasonable fertilization: For newly planted potted plants, after they sprout, fertilizer can be applied once a month. However, during the fertilization process, care should be taken to apply it thinly and lightly, and it must not be applied too concentratedly or in excessive amounts, otherwise it is easy to burn the roots of the cultivated plant, causing the leaves to wither and yellow until they die. In addition, before winter begins, some monopotassium phosphate solution can be applied to enhance the plant's cold resistance.
6. Loosening the soil and repotting: During the growing season of a potted Ping'an tree, it is best to loosen the soil once a month to always keep its root system in a well-aerated state. Small Ping'an trees can be repotted once a year, while large Ping'an trees can be repotted once every 2 to 3 years. When repotting, some necrotic roots can be cut off first to ensure the normal growth of the potted plant.
