Lanterns, also known as the upside down gold clock, are like hanging colorful lanterns, which give people a beautiful and festive feeling. They can be used for potted viewing, mainly used in passenger rooms, flower racks and desk decorations. So how is the lantern flower raised? What's the best way to breed? What matters should we pay attention to when breeding lantern flowers? Please read on with me with questions!
The best breeding time is the end of spring and the beginning of autumn.
The best growing soil: Lantern flower likes loose and well drained sandy loam.
Requirements for growth humidity: the relative air humidity of Lantern flowers can reach more than 60% by spraying water.
The best growth temperature: the suitable temperature for the growth of celadon is 15-25 ℃. In summer, it is afraid of hot and high temperature. If the temperature exceeds 30 ℃, it will enter a semi dormant state, and it shall not be lower than 5 ℃ in winter.
The best growing light: the lantern flowers like the sunny environment, the lack of sunshine is easy to grow in vain, resulting in reduced flowering.
Precautions for the cultivation of beautiful lantern flowers: apply fertilizer: apply enough organic fertilizer before the planting of Lantern flowers, control the nitrogen fertilizer at the early stage of growth, prevent excessive growth, and increase the application of phosphorus and potassium fertilizer at the flowering stage.
Key points of watering: water once in winter and 2-3 days in rainy season, once every day in autumn and sunny days, and control the water when it is in semi dormancy in summer to prevent the occurrence of leaf peeling and rotten roots.
Pruning Essentials: all the thin and weak branches and withered and yellow branches will be pruned, and all the remaining branches will be cut short, and the length left will be determined by ornamental, requiring the whole plant to be coordinated.
Basin soil replacement: Turning basin for soil replacement of celadon requires fast growth and sufficient nutrients, so the basin soil should be sandy loam rich in humus. In addition, 20% - 30% of the fully decomposed animal manure should be added. In the first three years of spring, we need to change basin and soil to supplement nutrients.
Key points of propagation: propagation by cutting and layering.
1. Cuttage Propagation. In the late spring and early autumn, the branches of the year are often used for Twig Cutting, or in the early spring, the branches of the last year are used for old Twig Cutting; in the process of Twig Cutting, from the late spring to the early autumn when the plants grow vigorously, the thick branches of the year are used as cuttings. After cutting off the branches, select a strong part and cut it into a section of 5~15 cm long, each section with more than 3 leaf nodes. When cutting the cuttings, it should be noted that the upper cut should be flat cut about 1 cm above the last leaf node, and the lower cut should be inclined cut about 0.5 cm below the lowest leaf node. The upper and lower cuts should be flat (the knife should be sharp).
2. Strip propagation. Select the strong branches, and peel the bark from about 15-30cm below the top. The width of the cut after peeling is about 1cm, and the depth is limited to just peeling off the epidermis. Cut a film of 10-20cm long and 5-8cm wide, put some wet garden soil on it, wrap the peeled part like a wound, fasten the upper and lower ends of the film, and bulge in the middle. Take root about four to six weeks later. After rooting, cut off the roots at the edge of the branch together to form a new plant.
Pest control:
1. Grey mould. Solution: in the early stage of the disease, 65% diesen zinc or 50% Carbendazim and other new agents should be sprayed in time, once every 7-10 days, 3-4 times in a row. At ordinary times, attention should be paid to ventilation and light to make the plant grow well and improve the disease resistance of the plant. Cut and deal with the diseased branches and leaves in time to reduce the source of the disease.
2. Powdery mildew. Solution: pay attention to ventilation and light, increase the application of phosphorus and potassium fertilizer, and improve the disease resistance of plants. After the onset of the disease, spray 70% of the 800 fold solution of Tob body fluid or 2500 fold solution of Triadimefon or other appropriate agents in time, spray once every 10 days, 2-3 times continuously.
When the temperature is over 38 ℃ in summer, the metabolism is slow and the growth of the flower is in a state of stagnation. At this time, leaves and rotten roots often appear. If effective measures are not taken, the whole plant will die.
2. In winter, the lowest temperature of greenhouse should be kept at 10 ℃, and it is easy to be damaged by freezing at 5 ℃. The growth room temperature is 10-25 ℃, which requires high air humidity.
