In Vietnam, live trees have been a source of admiration for their innate beauty. Skilled gardeners have popularized bonsai live trees as they can decorate gardens, balconies, and work desks. During the Tet holidays, potted live tree flowers are highly sought after and bring in significant profits for garden owners. However, caring for live trees can be difficult without proper knowledge. This article will share crucial tips on growing and caring for live trees, specifically for Tet celebrations.
Cultivating Vibrant Life Trees 2. What is the optimal time to plant life trees? – Life trees are a hardy species that can adapt well to various weather conditions. They can endure both extreme heat and cold, though they do not thrive in direct sunlight with high levels of radiation. The ideal temperature range for their growth is between 20-25°C. – Life trees can be cultivated in different regions across Vietnam. For those living in Northern provinces, the best time to plant them is during autumn, winter, or spring. However, in summer, it’s necessary to provide shade to help the trees grow properly. – In southern provinces as well as cooler regions, life trees can be planted year-round. However, during rainy seasons in Southern provinces, proper drainage must be considered to prevent waterlogging which could harm or kill the trees. – One distinctive feature of life trees is that they develop stems and leaves throughout the year, while their flowers bloom between February and May annually. This coincides with the Lunar New Year holiday, making them highly desired in the market.

3. Effortless Techniques for Propagating Succulent Plants – If you’re looking to propagate succulent plants, there are several methods you can use, such as seed sowing, leaf cuttings, stem cuttings, and division. The propagation method you choose will depend on the specific type of succulent plant you have. For instance, Echeveria and Dalat succulents are commonly propagated through leaf cuttings, while red and multicolor succulents are propagated through stem cuttings. – Propagating Succulents with Stem Cuttings – The best time to take stem cuttings for propagation is from January to May in the lunar calendar, when the mother plant is thriving. To ensure a successful propagation, cuttings should be about 5-7 cm long with at least 5 pairs of leaves. Due to the fact that succulent plants tend to produce fewer branches, it may take some time to propagate a large number of plants. However, you can speed up the process by planting larger cuttings first and leaving smaller ones on the mother plant to grow and cut later. The planting period can extend until July in the lunar calendar. If you plant after July, your plants may not produce large and beautiful flowers or leaves. – Use soft and well-draining materials such as sand or peat as a rooting medium for your cutting material. Then, insert the stem cuttings into the rooting medium and place them in a shady area. After about two weeks, the new plants should have successfully rooted and can be separated to be planted.
Simple Tips for Growing Plants Successfully at Home: Part 4 – Expert Techniques for Cultivating Flowers that Last Longer One of the best ways to grow healthy plants is by using pots or nylon bags that measure 15 x 25 cm. This method is currently popular among gardeners for its effectiveness. The soil used for planting should have excellent drainage and moisture retention properties as plants cannot tolerate being flooded or left dry. Gardeners can opt to use market-available soils like premium organic soil, T-Rat soil, etc., or create their own mix. To create your soil mix, you can combine soil (peat soil, black soil), coal slag (sawdust, coconut fiber), and decomposed organic fertilizer (microbial fertilizer) in a ratio of 1/2 soil + 1/4 coal slag + 1/4 decomposed organic fertilizer. Once mixed, the soil must be treated for any fungal diseases present using solutions like Daconil 75 WP (1 g/l water) or Ridomil Gold 68 WG (3 g/l water). Apply the solution evenly onto the soil, using 40-50 l/m3 of soil.
Planting a tree that adds color to your life involves certain techniques. Firstly, put the soil mixture in 2/3 of the planting container, and place the container in a North-South direction for better growth. It’s ideal to plant on a cool afternoon and moisten the soil mixture before planting. Take care when transferring the tree from its container to avoid damaging the roots which can cause it to die. Don’t plant too deep as this can lead to root rot. Gently press the tree into place and provide shade for 5-7 days after planting to stabilize it. To care for a flowering tree during Tet, it’s important to check soil moisture regularly and maintain it at 60-70%. Water small trees twice a day in the early morning and early afternoon, and once a day before 9 am, after three months of growth. When the tree starts developing buds and flowers, water it twice a day, but avoid watering the leaves or buds as they can rot and fall off.
Long-living flowers are a sight to behold, and taking care of them properly is crucial for their health and longevity. To give your plants the best chance at a long life, it’s important to fertilize them correctly. One way to know if your plant needs fertilizer is by examining its leaves. If they look healthy and lush, chances are the plant has enough nutrients already. Over-fertilizing can actually harm your plants or make them more susceptible to pests. For optimal growth, try using a combination of organic and NPK fertilizers at different stages of the plant’s development. Organic fertilizers can be applied every 5-7 days, with a dose of 30-50 grams of manure per pot. NPK fertilizers should be applied every 15 days, following the manufacturer’s instructions carefully. After applying the fertilizer, it’s essential to water your plants lightly to help them absorb nutrients better. By following these tips, you can keep your flowers looking beautiful and healthy for much longer.
In the springtime of life, flowers bloom. To ensure that a tree flourishes, it is vital to trim and prune its branches. This helps in encouraging growth and producing more branches and delightful flowers. Additionally, it maintains an appealing shape. When trimming a branch, cut it 2-3 centimeters above the main stem. The number of times that a tree should be trimmed varies depending on the species, but twice a year is generally sufficient. To avoid pests and diseases from destroying the tree, proper precautions must be taken. In case of excessive rainfall, which can lead to root and stem rot, apply a fungicide every 7-10 days. Popular options include Rovral mixed with Aliette (10g/8L of water), Kasuran (10-15g/8L of water), among others. Aphids, leaf-eating caterpillars, bagworms, and leaf beetles are common pests that attack trees. There are numerous pesticides available, including Sherzol (10-15cc/8L to treat aphids and leaf-eating caterpillars), Cyper and Ofunach (10-15cc/8L to treat bagworms), and Confidor (2.5-5cc/8L to treat leaf beetles). By following these simple steps, trees can flourish and produce stunning blooms for years to come.
