2. Watering: keep the soil moist during the growth period.

3. Temperature and light: under the condition of sufficient light and suitable temperature, it can blossom continuously. If there is no seed, cut off the residual flowers in time after the flowers are shed, which will help to form more buds and blossom more.

4. Fertilization: fertilize once every half month or so, use Huiyou 15-15-30 special fertilizer for potted flowers or rotten cake fertilizer and water.

5. Pest control: leaf spot disease is common and can be sprayed with 1000 times of carbendazim wettable powder. Insect pests are harmful to red spiders and aphids. Aphids are sprayed with 2.5% fish rattan essential EC 1000 times, and red spiders are sprayed with 40% omethoate EC 1500 times.

Planting methods and matters needing attention of medallion flowers

1. Sow seeds

For spring breeding of medallion chrysanthemum, it takes about three months from sowing to flowering. Find a piece of empty land, sow the seeds, and then cover it with 0.8 cm thick fine soil. it is best to keep the ambient temperature at about 20 degrees Celsius, spray water properly, and the seeds can emerge about three days after sowing.

2. Transplanting seedlings

When the plants with small seedlings grow new leaves, it is recommended to choose smaller containers for breeding. The temperature at the seedling stage should be 15 to 20 degrees, and the humidity should not be too high. The pot plants should be placed in a well-lit and ventilated place to facilitate the rapid growth of plants.

3. Fertilization

After the germination is basically completed, the main root will stretch rapidly and the true leaves will begin to grow. At this time, the soil moisture should not be too high, watering should be supplemented in a small amount after the surface soil is dry, and the seedlings should be protected by compound fertilizer with main calcium content. Energy can also be replenished by adding nutrients, and the lighting time should be controlled. When the length of the main root of medallion chrysanthemum reaches 4 to 5 cm, we should pay attention to the control of humidity, changing every 24 hours for a cycle, which is helpful to control growth. At this stage, fertilizer should be applied once or twice a week, mainly nitrogen fertilizer, and the fertilization concentration should be increased accordingly, because the growth rate is faster and the nutrient consumption is higher in this stage.

4. Points for attention

Do not water too much, whether it is small seedlings or big seedlings, or adult flowers, remember not to be cheap, always watering, medallion chrysanthemum is not resistant to water! Can't bear to get wet! Can't bear to get wet! Important things are to be repeated for 3 times!

When does the medal flower blossom

I believe that many people must be eager to see their beautiful and strange flowers. In fact, like other flowers, they can only bloom at the flowering stage, usually around April to June, when we can feast our eyes.

Growing environment

1. Lighting: medallion chrysanthemum likes sunshine, likes to grow in cooler places, is resistant to drought and barren soil, and is semi-cold-resistant, so it can survive the winter smoothly in mild areas in winter. Plenty of sunshine is needed for growth and flowering. If the cultivation place is lack of light, the leaves are soft, the buds are reduced, the flowers become smaller and the color is lighter. On the contrary, there is plenty of sunshine, bright colors and continuous flowering.

2. Temperature: the suitable temperature for the growth of medallion chrysanthemum is 15: 20 ℃, 13: 24 ℃ from March to September, and 7: 13 ℃ from September to March of the following year. However, the medal chrysanthemum has strong adaptability to the high temperature above 30 ℃, the leaf growth is slow, and the flowering is reduced. The winter temperature is not lower than 5 ℃, but it can withstand the low temperature of 0 ℃ in a short time, such as freezing injury occurs easily in a long time.

3. Moisture: medallion chrysanthemum is sensitive to water. Although the stems and leaves need soil moisture during the growing period, there is too much soil moisture in the rainy season, and the plant is easy to be waterlogged and cause the whole plant to die. At the same time, high temperature in summer, the air humidity should not be too high, basin soil should not be stagnant water, otherwise it is disadvantageous to the growth and flowering of medallion chrysanthemum.

4. Soil: the sandy loam with fertile, loose and good drainage is selected. Potted soil can be mixed with the same amount of culture soil, rotten leaf soil and coarse sand.

Through the above content, I believe you have a more in-depth understanding of medal flowers. Medallion flowers are small and exquisite, if you raise one or two pots of medallion chrysanthemum on the balcony at home, it is definitely a beautiful scenery! Friends you like, plant it quickly!
