Its plants are very beautiful, the flowers are large and beautiful, and they are loved by many flower friends. They are often arranged as potted plants in living rooms, halls and other places to decorate the home environment. But how to raise this beautiful flower and plant? What are some precautions?

How to raise Baolian Lantern Flowers

1. Soil

Baolian Lantern likes slightly acidic soil that is rich in humus, loose and well drained. Coarse peat can be mixed with the soil to make it grow better. Changing the basin should be carried out every spring, adding new soil appropriately and keeping the soil moist.

2. Temperature

Baolian lantern is suitable for growing in a semi-shady environment with high temperature, humidity and scattered light, which can not let the sun shine directly in summer and needs to be covered with a sunshade net, while sufficient light is needed in early spring and winter. The best growth temperature should be kept at 19-21 ℃, no less than 16 ℃ in winter, and the humidity should always be kept at about 80%.

3. Watering

During the growing period, Baolian Lantern needs to keep the basin soil moist, which can neither be dry nor waterlogged. When the temperature is lower than 20 ℃, the surface layer of the substrate is dried and then watered. Note that when Baolian lantern is in florescence, it should not be watered frequently, which will lead to falling flowers and shorten the flowering period. In addition to normal watering in summer, water should be sprayed frequently to the plant and its surroundings to moisturize, and dust can be washed away from the leaf area.

4. Pest control

When diseases such as leaf spot and stem rot occur in Baolian lantern, 1000 times of methyl thiophanate wettable powder is sprayed. Whitefly, shell insects and other pests are sprayed with 1000 times of 50% dichlorvos EC.

Culture methods and matters needing attention of Baolian lantern

I. Culture methods

1. The temperature of culture

Because Baolian Lantern is a tropical plant, the suitable temperature for Baolian Lantern growth is relatively high, especially in winter, we must ensure that the growth temperature of Baolian Lantern is about 16 degrees Celsius.

2. Aquaculture environment

Baolian Lantern is a kind of plant that likes wet and cool environment, but it is not resistant to cold, so we should pay attention to the maintenance of temperature in winter and pay special attention to Baolian Lantern can not be exposed to the sun.

3. Soil for farming

The growth soil of Baolian Lantern must be fertile, loose rotten leaf soil or peat soil, and a good soil environment can make Baolian Lantern grow well.

II. Points for attention

When Baolian Lantern is in bloom, we must be careful not to pour too much water on it, otherwise the phenomenon of falling flowers will occur; when the bud of Baolian Lantern changes color, it should be placed in a higher temperature environment, otherwise the phenomenon of falling buds will occur. One of the key points of breeding Baolian lantern is to promote flowers. Baolian lanterns bloom normally from January to May. If they are planted in a greenhouse, they can promote flowers all the year round, but if you want to promote flowers after June or July, you must control the temperature, otherwise the buds will not blossom.

What are the breeding methods of Baolian Lantern?

I. Cuttage propagation

1. Time

April-August and September-November are relatively suitable cutting time for Baolian Lantern. Generally speaking, the survival rate of cutting from April to August is higher.

2. Branches

The cutting branches of Baolian lantern should choose semi-lignified branches with leaves at the top, and they should be picked in a healthy growth state.

3. Matrix

The best substrate for cutting with Baolian Lantern is the mixed substrate, and the substrate with pure sand can be used if the conditions are limited. 4. Work after insertion

After the cuttage is finished, the pot soil is pressed, poured with the right amount of water, and covered with a shade net over the Baolian lantern, which can be put on the basin after about 60 days.

2. Sowing and propagation

Baolian Lantern sowing and propagation can use the method of picking and sowing, but the mature seeds of Baolian Lantern are very difficult to obtain, so so far, the propagation method of Baolian Lantern is mainly cutting.

How to maintain Baolian Lantern in Winter

1. Lighting

Baolian Lantern likes to grow in a sunny environment, so in winter, be sure to let Baolian Lantern bask in the sun, but do not expose yourself to the sun.

2. Watering

Try not to pour too much water on the Baolian lantern in winter. If the water is too much and the temperature is not enough, it is easy to cause frost damage to the plants, so that the soil is not ventilated, resulting in root rot, resulting in the death of the whole plant. It should be noted that when a plant's buds begin to change color, put the plant in a warmer environment to prevent the buds from falling.

3. Temperature

Baolian Lantern is a tropical plant, so he prefers a warm and humid environment, and he likes a cool environment, which is not cold-resistant and cannot be exposed to the sun. It needs fertile soil to support its growth. When the temperature is above 15 degrees Celsius, Baolian Lantern can maintain normal growth.

4. Reproduction

In the first winter of breeding, we must pay attention to the maintenance of plants so as not to suffer frost damage.

Baolian Lantern is a kind of plant growing in tropical rain forest, and it likes high temperature and fertile growing environment, so it is not very difficult to breed Baolian Lantern, but its cold resistance is relatively poor, so more attention should be paid to this aspect, especially in winter in the north of our country.
