0351 Miscalculation
After planting cherries, Xu Yi remembered that he had forgotten about those dragon fruits and strawberries, so he continued to get busy.
The dragon fruit is bigger than a fist, and it has to be quite tall to think that this plant can also grow quite tall, Xu Yi looked around and felt that it was more appropriate to plant them in the fruit tree.
Xu Yi took the bag and flipped through it, but he didn't see any difference between these things, and even the plants that could see the grafting marks on it, the scion and the rootstock below couldn't see any obvious difference.
These are triangular knife-shaped, with small holes on the edge of the prism every centimeter or so, with a cluster of tiny spikes growing inside.
Xu Yi reached out and touched it carefully, feeling that this spike was not as big as the thorns of the cactus, but softer. However, it is difficult to guarantee that it will take a long time, and if you accidentally touch these dragon fruits when picking them back and forth or tending to them, the thorns will break off and stick to your clothes, which may also be pricked.
In order to avoid injuries in the future, it is better to spread these things apart!
After all, he hadn't planted this thing, and he didn't know how tall and how much area it would take, so Xu Yi decided to plant one first. He took out a dragon fruit from the bag and planted it on the ground, and Xu Yi directly watered it with space water.
Not surprisingly, this thing grew rapidly towards the dragon, but Xu Yi then realized that he had really ignored a problem. Just watch the dragon fruit grow almost a meter tall, and then tragedy happened.
Although the stem also thickens little by little as the dragon fruit grows taller and thicker, it is not so fast. Grow and grow. The dragon fruit suddenly began to tilt to one side. Xu Yi sighed. It seems that this thing is really like a cactus. If you grow too tall, you have to build a shelf to reinforce it.
Xu Yi just wanted to reach out to help, but he only heard a soft click, and the dragon fruit that was still thriving just now actually broke directly from the grafted part, and the upper half of the stem, which had grown to almost one meter long, fell to the ground.
Xu Yi looked down and couldn't help but laugh a little - it seems that the triangle can indeed improve stability, but what kind of material does it still score!
Although the dragon fruit has been broken, the roots of the overlord flower under this scion are still underground, still alive strongly.
It is only more than half a foot long, because the top is grafted with dragon fruit. It was cut off directly, so it only grew a little taller and stopped, but the small holes full of leaf thorns on the edge of a few prisms were sending out some tiny tender shoots one after another.
In a short period of time, there were five or six more tender branches like a child's arm on this short section of overlord flower.
These young shoots also continue to grow upward, but it seems that these things are not much different from dragon fruit. At first, it can still grow diagonally upward, but when it grows more than a foot long, it begins to bend downward under the influence of gravity, making the whole overlord flower look like a broken umbrella with only umbrella bones left.
By the time the branches had grown to more than a meter long, the middle section was already attached to the ground, but the front end was trying to lift it up.
Most of these branches have some small branches, and many of them have grown a layer of sepals like dragon scales. It is more than a foot long, and the front is almost the size of a goose egg, and the flower bud is like a large brush.
There's just enough amazing stuff in the space. This time, Xu Yi discovered a new phenomenon.
The fat man said that this overlord flower is equivalent to a large epiphany, and it will wither in the morning when it blooms at night, but in this space, it is bright now, but it does not affect its normal flowering.
Looking at those flowers that were about the size of a small plate and as white as snow, Xu Yi couldn't help but admire: No wonder this thing is called an overlord flower, this flower is really big enough, and it is really domineering enough!
After looking carefully, Xu Yi found that the feather-like bracts on the outside of the flower were all stretched out in all directions, with two layers of petals in the middle, and a circle of densely covered stamens in the middle, guarding a small pistil, which was almost as thick as chopsticks and had a small octopus with its claws stretched out at the top, and the heart of the flower continued to exude a strong sweet fragrance!
No wonder the four-legged ones don't eat the bench, the two-legged ones don't eat people, and the people of Guangdong Province who dare to eat anything and can eat anything will stretch their chopsticks to this flower.
It looks so atmospheric, and the taste is so sweet, it's almost in the heart of the flower to stretch out a sign to write the words "come and eat me", if this thing can't be eaten, then there is really not much to eat!
It's a pity that what I want is dragon fruit, not overlord flowers, and this time dragon fruit planting - failed!
However, Xu Yi thought about it, and still happily picked all these blooming overlord flowers and put them in a bamboo plaque to dry.
It's an ingredient I've never seen before, so don't waste it. As for whether this flower can be eaten, I can't tell if it's delicious or not, so it's better to hang it there first, and then ask the fat man how to deal with this thing and how to eat it when he is empty.
Speaking of which, if it is really delicious, you can cultivate some overlord flowers in the future, which are specially used to pick flowers. Although there is only such a overlord flower, I also know that I can completely break off those branches and cut them again. Presumably, after this cuttings a few times, you can have as many as you want this thing!
After Xu Yi dried those flowers, he came back to summarize the lessons he had learned from this cultivation.
After looking closely, Xu Yi found that he should have known that this thing was a climbing plant. I hadn't noticed it before, whether it was a bully flower or a dragon fruit, there were white and transparent aerial roots on the top of the fleshy stems. I guess it's also a weapon they use to cling to objects around them.
It seems that when these things are to be cultivated by themselves, they will have to build a shelf for them first. In addition, in order to prevent them from growing, when they reach a certain height, you have to top them, remove their apical dominance, and let them emit as many side branches as possible. Otherwise, even if this pillar of optimus grows to the top of the light curtain, I don't know how many dragon fruits can be grown in the Dao, not even because of the longevity of the dragon fruit at all!
Of course, this thing looks heavy, and it seems that I can't use bamboo poles to build a shelf for them anymore, this thing doesn't have as many tendrils as grapes, and this aerial root looks very soft, so I'd better find something with a rough surface to build a shelf for them.
Thinking like this, Xu Yi turned his head to look for it, but only found those remaining logs. Looking at the dragon fruit in the bag on the ground, Xu Yi sighed softly, although one of his logs can be cut into two pieces for two dragon fruits, but when these dragon fruits are all planted, I am afraid that these logs will also be used.
It seems that I should get some more logs to spare, I thought that dozens of logs are quite a lot, but I didn't expect that a cellar and a scaffolding are basically used, and the rest of these will soon have a place to use!
Looking at the broken dragon fruit that fell on the ground, Xu Yi felt that it was a waste to throw it here, so he simply carried it to the bottom of the scaffolding, like planting an immortal sword, and divided it into sections and a half feet long, all of which were cut on the ground.
Although I didn't have any problems with the mint or tea trees I cut before, I still have to make the most of this condition now that I have natural shade conditions.
It won't be long before these things should take root, and then transplant them out, and the survival rate should be higher.
Boss Zhu said at the time that he didn't know what these seedlings were, maybe only this dragon fruit among these seedlings was yellow dragon fruit. I haven't seen yellow dragon fruit until now, and I guess there shouldn't be much of this thing in the market, so if I waste it, I don't know when I will have the opportunity to find this thing again next time.
It's better to be on the safe side!
After Xu Yi finished cutting the dragon fruit, he went to carry all the wood again, cut it into two pieces with a chainsaw, and then buried it vertically in the ground.
As usual, I found some strips of cloth and planted a dragon fruit next to the log. After pouring the space water, I watched it grow and tied it with a strip of cloth, and I also saw that the aerial roots emitted by the dragon fruit where it touched the trunk also increased significantly, and all of them stretched towards the trunk of the tree, firmly fixing it to the trunk.
When the dragon fruit grew to be level with the top of the log, Xu Yi raised his hand to break off the top of the fresh growth point.
Soon, the small holes with leaf thorns near the top of the growth point began to grow branches.
This is much more powerful than that overlord flower, and this dragon fruit has grown fifty or sixty branches!
These branches also grew obliquely upward, and they all gradually drooped down, and the branches of the drape spread out to the surroundings, guarding the main trunk in the middle, really forming a large umbrella more than one person tall and green in color!
By the time the branches grow to about a meter and a half long, countless buds will also grow near the front ends.
Looking at these buds, Xu Yi felt a little depressed - this was almost exactly the same as the overlord flowers he had broken off before!
If you have to say that there is a difference, it is because the dragon fruit grows too many branches and consumes too many nutrients, although this flower is a little more fragrant than the previous overlord flower, but the flower is slightly smaller than the overlord flower. Other than that, the two are exactly the same, nothing else!
Xu Yi couldn't help but wonder if Zhu Zhicheng had made a mistake. Regardless of whether this bud or the rootstock underneath, in fact, both of these are overlord flowers, or are both of them dragon fruits? (To be continued......
