Planting and propagation of Lantern tree

Seed treatment

When the lantern tree is ripe in autumn, the seeds should be timely dried and shelled. This is because the seed coat of Lantern tree is relatively hard. Without treatment, the germination rate of seeds will be very low during spring sowing

Seedling shading

The time of shading the seedlings is determined by the local temperature and climate conditions to protect the seedlings from sunburn. After entering autumn, we should slowly extend the time and intensity of light, which can effectively improve the lignification degree of seedlings

Intercropping management

When the seedlings grow to five to ten centimeters, they can be intercropped. The requirements of intercropping are to leave small ones for large ones and dense ones for sparse ones. It is best to do it in rainy days. At the same time, the missing plants should be supplemented to ensure the uniform distribution of seedlings

Bud and seedling transplantation

When transplanting buds and seedlings, the stubble should be cut and dried, and the management of fertilizer and water should be strengthened. When transplanting, the main root and lateral root should be properly trimmed to promote the germination of new roots

Fertilization management

After the long roots of Lantern tree seedlings are unearthed, they should be combined with watering and frequent fertilization. In the vigorous period of plant growth, nitrogen fertilizer should be applied to promote plant growth

In autumn, stopping the application of nitrogen fertilizer and increasing the application of phosphorus and potassium fertilizer can improve the lignification degree of plants

In winter, farmyard organic fertilizer can be used as base fertilizer to provide nutrients for seedlings and improve the cold resistance of seedlings< span>
