The flower language of kapok is to cherish the people around you and cherish the happiness in front of you. Kapok is the city flower of Guangzhou, Guangdong Province, Chongzuo, Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, Panzhihua, Sichuan Province and Kaohsiung, Taiwan Province Province.

Kapok blooms in spring, which is cup-shaped with 5 petals, oval and inverted. The color is bright red, and its flowers are very big, which can be as big as a bowl.

Kapok is not harsh on soil and is suitable for sandy soil or cohesive soil. It likes acidic soil, is more drought-resistant, water-resistant and wet-resistant, and has low requirements on fertility. Generally, the soil with moderate fertility and high phosphorus and potassium fertilizer has lush flowers, bright colors and sufficient water, and the soil with high nitrogen fertilizer has lush branches and leaves.

Extended data:

Kapok in Panzhihua area should be grafted in February-March and June-July. From February to March, the temperature rose rapidly, and kapok began to sprout. At this time, grafting was easy to survive. The high temperature in April-May is easy to cause the scion to dry up. June-July is the rainy season in Panzhihua area, and the temperature drops, so grafting should avoid rainy days.

Two-year-old flowering branches with strong growth, full buds and no pests and diseases were selected as scions from flowering kapok mother trees. The diameter and thickness of the selected scion are required to be 0. 17 cm ~ 1~2cm, and the bud eye spacing is 1~2cm.

The leaves of the collected cuttings should be cut off immediately to reduce the water loss of the branches, and the branches should be wrapped in a cool place with a wet towel, preferably when they are collected. When the scion needs to be stored for several days, both ends can be sealed with paraffin and buried in a sand bed with a thickness of 4 cm ~ 6 cm, and attention should be paid to moisturizing and ventilation.
