However, the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River are still at the turn of winter and spring and the alternation of cold and warm weather, and sometimes the weather is cold and chilly in spring. Although the flower is beautiful, it needs care. Only under your careful care, the flower can produce more beautiful flowers and bring you greater harvest. The following is to introduce the matters needing attention when raising flowers at home in spring for your reference.
1. Shifting Basin
Generally, flowers and green plants are potted when they are purchased. It is better to plant them in the original pot after they are taken home. Do not transfer the pots easily. Especially at this time, when the weather is warm and cold, many plants have deep roots. A pot transplant will make the nutrient absorption of flower roots unfavorable, resulting in plant death. When buying, we should also pay attention to whether potted flowers have been moved when they are sold. Generally, the soil that has not been moved is hard and lumpy, while the soil of flowers and plants that have been moved is scattered. Of course, some flowers have been planted for many years, so you can choose to move the pots from March to April, because the climate conditions in these two months are conducive to the survival and growth of flowers.
2. Watering
Fruit viewing plants such as bergamot and kumquat should not only keep the soil moist, but also spray water on the leaves, flower buds and fruits, so as to make the leaves green, the flower buds expand rapidly, and the fruit colorful. Because the temperature and humidity in the original environment are quite different from those in the family, if the leaves are not often sprayed with water, the leaves will shrink and dry. For all kinds of pineapple flowers, such as lucky star and high red star, if the room temperature is lower than 10 ℃ to 15 ℃, not only should water be controlled, but also too much water should not be injected into the leaf tube to prevent heart rot.
3. Fertilization
Camellia, camellia, Rhododendron, Clivia, red plum, Cymbidium hybridum, etc., as long as the room temperature is not lower than 15 degrees, compound fertilizer can be applied once every 15 days to 20 days. All forms of topdressing should be stopped for the stump potted landscape and potted foliage plants that have entered the dormant state.
4. Pruning
From March to April, the dead branches and yellow leaves of potted ornamental plants and the branches and leaves infected with diseases and insect pests should be cut off and destroyed. Some varieties, such as rubber tree and happy tree, need to be "started", that is, cutting off the highest tender head with a length of 23 cm. After cutting, the section can be sterilized by sealing the section with the bottom ash of the pot.
5. Cold proof
Because it is still a warm and cold season now, according to the lower limit temperature that different ornamental plants can bear to determine the potted plants placed on the balcony. Before the cold wave comes, it is necessary to move into the room to avoid the cold, or directly build a double plastic shed above the plants to prevent cold.
6. Pest control
The scale insects and whitefly on the potted plants should be wiped off with wet cloth in time; the aphids on the potted plants can be killed by soaking with tobacco dust (silk).
Flowers can make people feel happy, beautiful flowers can be more pleasing to the eyes. Take good care of those flowers.
