Pictures and culture methods of goldfish flowers

Suitable environment: goldfish flower is suitable for planting in loose and humus-rich soil, the temperature is better at 18-22 ℃, and proper scattered light can be given. Rational fertilization: thin organic fertilizer and water are applied every 15 days, mainly nitrogen fertilizer in autumn and phosphorus and potassium fertilizer in spring. Timely watering: keep the pot soil moist during the peak growth period, and spray water frequently around the flowerpot, but avoid spraying to the leaves and reduce watering in winter. Pruning: trim properly after flowering.

1. Suitable growth environment

1. Growing soil

Goldfish flowers have higher requirements for soil, so they should be planted in soils with good drainage conditions, loose and rich in humus.

2. Growth humidity

Goldfish flowers in the growth process of relatively large demand for water, the need to keep the basin soil moist, but also need to improve air humidity.

3. Growth temperature

Goldfish flower is not cold-resistant and is suitable to grow in the environment of about 18-22 ℃.

4. Lighting

Goldfish flower is more shady, not direct strong light, appropriate scattered light can.

II. Rational fertilization

1. Goldfish flowers are generally treated with thin organic fertilizer and water every 15 days or so, and appropriate amount of phosphate fertilizer can be added before budding, which is beneficial to promote flowers and make flowers more colorful.

2. Fertilization is generally carried out in spring and autumn, and liquid fertilizer based on nitrogen fertilizer is mainly applied in autumn, which is beneficial to promote luxuriant branches and leaves, while more phosphorus and potassium fertilizer is applied in spring, which is beneficial to promote flower color.

Third, timely watering

1. Goldfish flowers have a large demand for water during the peak growth period, and the basin soil needs to be kept moist. In order to ensure air humidity, water can be sprayed around the flowerpot, but try not to wet the leaves.

2. In winter, goldfish flowers enter the dormant period and grow slowly, but a small amount of water can be watered. When the buds first appear, the amount of water can be increased appropriately, which is conducive to flowering.

4. Pruning

After flowering, goldfish flowers can be pruned properly to cut off overlong drooping branches, weak branches and top branches, and the withered flower stems can be cut off in winter to keep them dry, which is conducive to the growth of new flower branches in the coming year.

5. Methods of reproduction

1. Goldfish flower can be propagated by ramet, sowing and cutting. usually it can be propagated by top branch cutting or stem cutting all the year round, and it is suitable to be carried out indoors after flowering.

2. First of all, select annual branches, cut them into about 10-15cm segments, leaving only 3-4 leaves, then insert them into the matrix, cover them with plastic film, stabilize the temperature at about 20 ℃, while maintaining a certain air humidity, it will take about 3-4 weeks to root.

3, after its survival, about 2 months can be heart-picking, which is conducive to promote more branches, more flowering, and finally planted on the pot, generally the seedlings do not blossom in that year, wait until the next year will be red flowers.

VI. Prevention and control of diseases and insect pests

1. The main diseases of goldfish flowers are leaf spot and anthracnose. If the disease is found, it can be controlled in time, using 50% carbendazim 500 times or 75% chlorothalonil 700 times, foliar spraying at intervals of about 7-8 days, and continuous spraying for 2-3 times.

2. The main pests of goldfish flowers are red spiders and scale insects. 300-fold solution of imidacloprid can be used for foliar spraying every 7-8 days for 2-3 times.
