Cinnabar root cultivation and management

Cinnabar is an evergreen shrub of the family Zijinu, which is native to the broad-leaved forests of subtropical hills. It is beautifully planted, with bright red fruits and shade-tolerant. It is an excellent indoor fruit flower. Zhusha root plant height up to 1 meter, garden pots should be controlled at about 0.6 meters. Leaf leathery, oblong. Summer flowering, inflorescences axillary, flower white with pink. The fruit is globose, 8 mm in diameter, bright red and matures from October to December. When mature, it looks like a rich and auspicious scene of the "green umbrella covering gold beads." Therefore, flower growers call it the "rich seed." Seed and seedlings are harvested from October to December when the fruit is red and hard. The fruit is harvested and placed in clean water. Peel the peel, remove and sow directly on the shallow basin, cover glass or plastic on the basin surface after covering the soil. Thin film to reduce moisture evaporation. To keep the soil moist, the temperature is controlled between 18°C ​​and 24°C. After about 20 days, rooting and emergence can be achieved. The germination rate can reach more than 85%. When the seedlings have 3 true leaves, the seedlings can be raised by stopping the seedlings for several days. Sowing seedlings can produce flowering results for two years. The upper basin and the management basin were mixed with 40% humus, 40% culture soil and 20% river sand. The basin should be used when the small basin (replacement basin later), first in the pelvic floor pad 3 cm thick rubble, in order to facilitate drainage, and then planted in small pots. Each pot is planted with a single pot of water, placed in a room or discharged under an outdoor arbor for conservation. When the new shoot grows to more than 8 cm long, it will be topped and the branching will be promoted. In summer and autumn, it is fast growing, requires sufficient moisture, and is well ventilated. It must be watered frequently to keep the potted soil moist and spray water on the foliage and the ground to increase the air humidity. The fruits turn red in winter and the amount of watering should be reduced. The wintering temperature should not be lower than 5°C. A nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium compound fertilizer is applied every 20 days from April to October. To stop nitrogen fertilization at flowering, it is not necessary to fertilize the fruit after it turns red. If brown spot occurs, it can be sprayed with carbendazim 800 times solution.
