龟背竹是室内观叶植物中的上品。但其生长很快,叶片会越长越大,直径可达60厘米以上,且长势张扬,很占空间,再加上匍匐茎前端的叶片易老化脱落成光杆,确实有碍观赏。一般家庭养护,还是中小型比较合适。那么,怎样才能保持“身材”呢?我是用截茎分株法来为它塑型的。5月出室后,把龟背竹放在半阴处,找一个合适的花盆,将它的气根小心放入,如气根过长,可沿盆壁打圈放入,并调整盛放气根盆的高度,最好让气根离盆面有一定的距离,以利观赏。然后填满培养土(图1),浇透水后按正常管理。25天左右,选择晴朗天气,用利刀从分盆处把匍匐茎切断(图2),断面抹上木炭灰或草木灰。为防止倒伏,可在盆中插木棍支撑。这样分盆后的单株 Monstera is the top grade in indoor foliage plants. But its growth is very fast, the leaves will be longer and bigger, the diameter of up to 60 cm or more, and the growing publicity, it occupies space, together with the front of the stolons easy to fall off the leaves of the aging light pole, does hinder the ornamental. General family conservation, or small and medium-sized more appropriate. So, how can we keep “stature”? I made it by truncating the stalk. May out of the room, the monkshood on the half shade, find a suitable flower pot, the root of its carefully into the air, such as the root is too long, can be placed along the basin wall and adjust Sheng Deflate the height of the root basin, it is best to make the root of the gas from the basin a certain distance to facilitate viewing. Then fill the culture soil (Figure 1), after pouring water according to the normal management. 25 days or so, choose the sunny weather, with a knife from the basin at the stolons cut off (Figure 2), section coated with charcoal ash or ash. To prevent lodging, you can insert sticks in the pot. After this sub-individual plants
