Detailed Explanation of Planting Techniques and Management Methods for Euonymus
Euonymus is a shrub plant of the Celastraceae family with high ornamental value. It is now widely used in major gardens, urban road greening and other places, playing a role in purifying air and beautifying the environment. Moreover, the roots and winged branches and leaves of Euonymus also have effects such as promoting blood circulation and menstruation, and dissipating blood stasis and relieving pain. So how should Euonymus be planted? And how should it be managed? Below, the editor brings you the planting and management techniques for Euonymus. Let's take a look!
1. Planting Environment
Euonymus is a light-loving plant, though it also has a certain degree of shade tolerance. Its adaptability is also relatively strong, and it can quickly adapt to various climates and soils. Its cold resistance and drought resistance are both relatively strong, so it has low requirements for soil. However, before planting, for the sake of yield and ornamental value, we should still pay attention to the selection of the planting environment. According to the growth habits of Euonymus, choose a planting environment that is sunny, warm, has high soil fertility and strong drainage and irrigation capacity, to ensure the normal growth of Euonymus and improve planting benefits.
2. Propagation Methods
The propagation methods of Euonymus are generally mainly seed propagation and cutting propagation. For seed propagation, first, seed collection should be carried out every autumn, then appropriately sun-dried for threshing, and then use substances such as plant ash to rub the aril clean. Then wash and dry in the shade, and then place in sand for storage. In the following spring, carry out drilling sowing, with row spacing controlled at about 20cm. After sowing, cover with fine soil, then cover with grass to improve the soil's moisture retention capacity. If using cuttings, then in summer select semi-mature branches for heel cuttings, and do a good job in seedbed management.
3. Seedling Management
Whether by sowing or cutting, under normal circumstances, in the second spring, as the temperature gradually rises, the plastic film on the soil should be removed, and then shade work should be done well, covering with about 70% shade netting. After Qingming Festival, ventilation work should be done well, controlling temperature and humidity, and improving the air quality inside the shed. Also water about once every half a month, and also pay attention to doing a good job in weeding to avoid excessive weeds robbing the seedlings of growth nutrients. At the same time, every day, also pay attention to observing the growth of Euonymus, and it is best to keep records.
4. Timely Transplanting
If they are sown seedlings, then in the year of sowing the seedlings can generally grow to about 30cm. Then in the second year, separate planting should be carried out. After separate planting, they still need to be cultivated for about three years before they can be transplanted and planted in place. If they are cutting seedlings, then generally the best transplanting time is in May each year. Because at this time the cutting seedlings have basically all branched, and the root color gradually becomes darker. Three days before transplanting, appropriately water the seedbed surface to avoid water loss when transplanting the seedlings, then control the density for transplanting. If the seedlings are small, they can be transplanted bare-rooted, while large seedlings are best transplanted with soil.
The above is a brief introduction to the planting and management techniques of Euonymus. That's all for today's introduction. This article is for reference only, and we hope it can help everyone!
