There are a lot of people raising it now, but do you really know about the breeding method?

How to raise golden bracts

The main results are as follows: 1. Golden bracts prefer the environment of high temperature, high humidity and plenty of sunshine, which is more shade-tolerant, and is suitable to grow at the temperature of 18 and 25 ℃. It is necessary to keep more than 5 ℃ in winter in order to survive the winter safely. It is suitable for planting in fertile light loam with good drainage.

2. The plants of cultured golden bracts should not be placed too closely, so as not to affect the ventilation. In summer, watering should not wait for the basin soil to dry, and should often spray water to the plant and its surroundings, in order to maintain a high environmental humidity.

3. The fertilizer is mainly cake fertilizer or rare manure and urine, which is watered once every 10-15 days. Phosphorus-based compound fertilizer should be supplemented during flowering to meet the needs of fertilizer when plants continue to bud and blossom.

Culture methods and matters needing attention of Golden Bract Flower

1. Culture methods:

1. Temperature. The suitable temperature for the growth of Golden Bract is between 15-25 ℃, and the safe overwintering temperature should be kept above 10 ℃, otherwise the plant will stop growing.

2. Watering. In the growing period of golden bracts, it is necessary to keep the basin soil moist, but also to maintain the high air humidity of its surrounding environment, but must not accumulate water, otherwise it is easy to rot the roots. It is usually watered once a day in spring and autumn. Attention should always be paid to improving the air humidity around the flowerpot in summer or during drought. Water should be watered 2-3 times a day in summer, and spray water to the leaves at the same time. In winter, watering needs to be controlled to keep the basin soil slightly moist. However, if the temperature in winter is above 25 ℃ during the day and about 15 ℃ at night, the plant can still blossom, and normal water and fertilizer management can be carried out at this time.

3. Soil. The cultivated soil of Golden Bract requires acidic soil with fertile, loose, well drained and breathable, and avoid clayey heavy soil. For the allocation of basin soil, rotten leaf soil, garden soil, river sand and mature organic fertilizer can be mixed evenly according to the ratio of 5 to 1.

4. Fertilization. Golden bracts like fertilizer and apply mature thin liquid fertilizer every 2 weeks during the growth period to promote the plant to grow vigorously and blossom more. During flowering, phosphorus and potassium fertilizer should be applied twice to ensure the nutrition of bud flowering.

2. points for attention:

Golden bracts like warm, humid, sufficient light growth environment, but should pay attention to appropriate light, avoid summer strong light direct, do a good shade work, it is best to place in a semi-shaded place to maintain, while paying attention to ventilation. Keeping the full light of plants in spring, autumn and winter is beneficial to the healthy growth of plants and reduce diseases. If the plant is placed in an overshadowed environment for a long time, the phenomenon of overgrowth will occur, and the florescence will be delayed and the flowering will be less.

How to prune golden bracts

1. Generally, it can be pruned every spring combined with turning the basin to cut off about half of the plant height to create a more beautiful plant type. On the one hand, it can control the height of the plant and promote the growth of branches, on the other hand, it can avoid the collapse of the lower leaves and affect the ornamental value.

2. After entering autumn, the plant of Golden Bract begins to return to normal growth, at this time, it is necessary to carry out proper pruning and shaping, at the same time, strengthen the light, increase the application of fertilizer and water, promote the exuberant growth of the plant, and ensure its symmetry and beauty. After proper pruning in winter, the plants were moved to indoor maintenance.

Insect pests of Golden Bract Flower and its Control

1. When golden bracts are cultivated, the diseases and insect pests that are easy to suffer are the pests such as whitefly, red spider and aphid. Most of these pests occur in flowering and winter, and gather in leaves and bracts, and the harm needs to be controlled in time.

2. During the maintenance period of Golden Bract Flower, it is necessary to do a good job of maintenance to avoid diseases and insect pests due to improper maintenance. Often observe the growth status of golden bract plants, if there are diseases and insect pests, it is necessary to timely control, spray some omethoate, spray the pests.

In the process of breeding golden bracts, we must pay attention to temperature control, winter low temperature to do a good job of protective measures, so as not to cause plant death. When breeding, fertilizing and pruning are also very important. Only by doing a good job can the golden bracts grow well.
