Cultivation method of red birch

1. Planting

When growing it as a small potted plant indoors, the first thing to do is to sow its seeds in a seedling pot. The seeds must be of excellent varieties, preferably seeds collected from mother plants that have not been attacked by pests and diseases. The choice of culture soil only needs to be slightly loose and fertile, because the adaptability of red-flowered silver birch is relatively strong.

2. Germination

The seeds will germinate soon after careful care. After germination, you can choose some seedlings with similar growth conditions, and keep the height between 3 cm and 5 cm, so that the later growth will be more uniform.

three. transplant

Be careful when transplanting seedlings. Do not damage the root system of the red birch, otherwise it will affect the survival rate in the later stage. When transplanting, usually plant more than 5 seedlings in a three-leaf pot, so that the growth will be more vigorous. The flower pots can be chosen as ceramic pots or blue and white porcelain pots. These two types of flower pots are either simple or gorgeous, and are very suitable for red birch, and will produce very good visual effects.

4. Post-management

Finally, place the planted red birch by the window or in a place with sufficient indoor light. Its seedlings will be restricted by the flowerpot and will not grow too long, so it will be more ornamental. However, if it is placed in a place with poor light conditions, its branches will grow too long, and its overall aesthetics will be greatly reduced! In fact, if the red-flowered silver birch is planted on the ground and the environment is suitable, it can grow to more than 30 meters, and there will be beautiful cracks on the bark. It is very spectacular when it blooms, but it takes 30 years from sowing seeds to flowering.

5. Pest and disease control

The main diseases of red-flowered silver birch are heart rot, powdery mildew and rust, etc. The insect pests are mainly willow leaf beetles and gypsy moths, etc., but the situation is not too serious. In the usual maintenance process, we must focus on prevention, discover early and treat as soon as possible!
