The mysterious fruit is a typical tropical evergreen shrub. Its meat contains mysterious elements that can change people's tastes. In 1960s, when Premier Zhou Enlai visited West Africa, he brought it back to China and cultivated it as a national treasure in China. This is a precious plant that is protected from export. So, do you know how to grow this mysterious fruit? Next, Uncle Gardener will introduce you to the planting methods and techniques of mysterious fruit. 1. Mysterious fruits can be propagated by sowing, layering and cutting. The specific propagation method is as follows: sowing propagation: July-August is the mature period of mysterious fruit. At this time, the seeds are harvested and the screened seeds are stored in wet sand. Sow the seeds after they crack white. Generally, seeds only need to be buried about 2cm in the soil, and the germination rate can reach 100%. When the seedlings grow to 5cm and have 4~5 leaves, they can be transplanted. It is necessary to strengthen fertilizer and water management and proper shading at seedling stage. Growth is slow, and it usually takes 3~4 years to blossom and bear fruit. Using asexual propagation can dwarf the tree, advance the fruit by 1~2 years, and improve the ornamental value. Layered propagation of mysterious fruit seedlings with just two or three leaves: it can be carried out after leaving the house in spring. The base of the annual robust branch is girdled, and the stripping width is about 3 times of the branch diameter. Wrap humus soil at the girdling place and squeeze it into a ball. The ball of soil is wrapped with plastic film. After about two months, the peeling place of the ring can heal and take root. Before entering the house in late autumn, cut the mother plant and plant it. Cutting propagation: in mid-June, branches with strong semi-lignification can be selected as cuttings, which are about 10~ 15cm long. The lower leaves were deleted, leaving only the upper two leaves. Adopt the method of fully enclosed moisturizing cutting. The substrate can be a mixture of vermiculite and river sand, which can take root after one month and blossom after two years. 2. Soil requirements: Mysterious fruit is a kind of slightly acidic plant, which likes loose and fertile soil with strong drainage and ventilation. The pH value of the soil should be adjusted between 4.5 and 5.5. When the mysterious fruit is potted, it is about 1/3 peat, compost, mushroom residue, sawdust, etc. It can be added into mountain mud or garden soil, and 5% cake-retting fertilizer can be added and mixed evenly.

Mild frost can cause plants to shed leaves, and even the whole plant dies in severe cases. The greenhouse temperature should be kept at not less than 5 in winter. It is the key to the success or failure of farming in northern China. 4. Water and fertilizer management: mysterious fruit should be moisturized during the growth period. It was found to be dry at a depth of one centimeter on the surface of the basin soil. When the soil turns white, water it in time. Loosen the soil once a month, and beware of water accumulation in the basin during the rainy season. Water once a week from late autumn to early winter, or spray water instead of watering. When the temperature is above 32 in summer, it is necessary to create a relatively cool environment by shading and spraying water. During the growing season, the pancake fertilizer is poured every half month and 0. 1% potassium hydrogen phosphate is added to promote its flowering and fruiting. When the ambient temperature is lower than 15 and higher than 32, fertilization should be stopped. In order to prevent the physiological yellowing of potted plants in the north, 0. 1% ferrous sulfate powder can be added to the watering water. Mysterious fruit potted plant 5. Pest control: scale, cotton scale, green blind stinkbug, scale insects, etc. It is the main pest of mysterious fruit, which usually occurs in flowering period. It should be prevented and treated in time when the bud is formed, and once it is found, it should be treated in time. It is suggested that mysterious fruit can change people's taste and turn high acidity fruit into nectar-like sweetness. Studies have shown that eating concentrated buccal tablets of mature fruits or mysterious fruits raw can also regulate symptoms such as hyperglycemia, hypertension and hyperlipidemia.
