Method for rapidly guiding aerial roots of ancient banyan in touching ground

Abstract

The invention discloses a method for rapidly guiding aerial roots of an ancient banyan in touching the ground. The method includes the steps of firstly, selection of the tree species needing root guiding; secondly, selection of the aerial roots; thirdly, material preparation, wherein a hollow bamboo is selected and split into two parts, and the split bamboo is filled with a substance formed by mixing humus for media and flower soil in the weight ratio of 1:2; fourthly, root guiding, wherein according to the position where the aerial roots need to be guided in touching the ground, a part of the bamboo tube is directly buried 30-50 cm under the ground so as to fix and guide fibrous roots to the set position, the aerial roots are wrapped in the rest part of the bamboo tube, the mixed soil with which the bamboo tube is filled is used for wrapping the aerial roots of the banyan, and then the bamboo tube is firmly bundled with an iron wire or a plastic bag so that the aerial roots can be guided in growing downwards along the bamboo tube to touch the ground under pulling; fifthly, conservation; sixthly, later maintenance. By means of the technical scheme, the aerial roots extend to the ground one year later, the diameter of the aerial roots is increased to 2 cm from original 0.3 cm, and the aerial roots of the banyan grow robustly.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a method for cultivating aerial roots of plants, in particular to a method for quickly guiding aerial roots of an ancient banyan tree to the ground, belonging to the technical field of plant cultivation and restoration. Background technique [0002] Banyan trees are widely distributed in Taiwan, Zhejiang (southern), Fujian, Guangdong (and coastal islands), Guangxi, Hubei (cultivated from Wuhan to Shiyan), Guizhou, and Yunnan (174-1240 (-1900) meters above sea level). Sri Lanka, India, Myanmar, Thailand, Vietnam, Malaysia, Philippines, Japan (Ryukyu, Kyushu), Papua New Guinea and northern and eastern Australia up to the Caroline Islands. [0003] There are two main methods for the formation of aerial roots of ancient banyan trees: natural and artificial. Natural formation: Many whisker-like adventitious roots are often produced on the trunk and side branches of the banyan tree, which grow vertically downward, some are suspended...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

[0007] 2. The growth of some ancient banyan trees is weak, the trunk is seriously decayed, and the underground root system is seriously damaged. It is urgent to replace the underground root system by guiding aerial roots

[0008] 3. Some scenic spots want to create the effect of "a single tree forming a forest" or "tropical rainforest", but the traditional method of aerial rooting is slow, time-consuming and labor-intensive, and the effect is not ideal

[0009] 4. Some banyan trees are tilted, and the effect of building trees to support the landscape is poor

At the connection point between the support and the support, it is easy to cause damage to the bark and affect the landscape effect

[0010] 5. The aerial roots of the banyan tree grow vertically downward. In some areas, such as: the ground is hardened and pedestrians pass by, it is not suitable for the aerial roots to fall vertically.

This method is easy to cause mechanical damage to aerial roots, and the effect is slow, and improper operation is counterproductive
