How to raise Photinia in potted plants Culture methods and matters needing attention

It is very important for potted plants to master the growth habits of plants and then accumulate the intuitive feeling of plant growth state through daily care of plants. Of course, what can give us strength and support at the beginning is still some written knowledge, which is not only the basis for us to raise potted plants, but also a reference for practical operation.

How to raise potted Photinia officinalis

Photinia is different from other potted plants in that it takes quite a long time to cultivate. Photinia should be cultivated from January to March and cut into a basin with a diameter of 5 to 8 cm and filled with clay from June to July. From November to March of the following year, move the cuttings to a basin of 11 centimeters in diameter. In the winter of the first to second year of cultivation, heather plants should be stored in a greenhouse of 3 degrees Celsius. In the following spring, when the weather warms up and the heather enters its developmental stage, it is ready to put it outdoors. At that time, Photinia plants will go through three growth periods outdoors.

These three growth periods can be delineated by accumulated temperature:

The first stage outdoors is the general growth period, which requires a total accumulated temperature of 810 degrees Celsius.

The second stage is the developmental stage, when the accumulated temperature needed by plants is up to 1210 degrees Celsius.

The third stage is the flowering stage, usually at the end of September, the accumulated temperature reaches 1770 degrees Celsius.

Culture methods and matters needing attention of Photinia officinalis

1. Soil

Photinia aquaculture is generally based on fertile acidic soil, which requires loose soil, ventilation and good drainage, so peat soil can be used.

2. Light and temperature

Ou Heather likes a cool climate and requires plenty of light. It can be cold-resistant, afraid of high temperature, the growth temperature is between 15 ℃-35 ℃, winter is not too cold, summer had better not exceed 35 ℃, need timely shade. Light generally requires natural light, but it must be sufficient.

3. Watering and fertilizing

Ou Shinan's requirement of fertilizer is not high, generally, it should be combined with watering. When watering, the water had better be treated, and the watering time had better be in the morning. The demand for fertilizer is not high, but it is necessary to ensure adequate nutrients and balance of various elements. Fertilization can promote the flowering of heather, but usually after August, fertilization will be stopped.

4. The breeding method of Photinia officinalis

The propagation of Photinia is generally based on cutting propagation, which can be cut in November or in summer. In addition, can also carry out sowing reproduction and striping reproduction, striping is generally the use of high-pressure method.

Cutting propagation method of Photinia officinalis

Photinia cuttings can be propagated in summer, but cuttings in November are generally chosen. Choose more robust branches and generally cut them into 3--4cm or so. The cuttings are rooting and inserted into the seedling basin. The soil is preferably a mixture of sand and peat.

After cutting, Photinia needs to be maintained in a shady place, the temperature should be kept at 15 ℃-25 ℃, be careful not to be too high, it can take root a month after cutting.

Photinia can take root for normal maintenance, but it needs to be pinched in time during its growth. in April, the seedlings of Photinia can be transplanted into a pot and maintained in a greenhouse until it grows enough roots.

The Flower language of ou Shinan

Ou Shinan symbolizes lonely and happy love, and the flower language is loneliness. Looking at the wilderness full of heather in Scotland, you can feel the sense of loneliness brought by heather. In Bronte's novel Wuthering Heights, the lonely Sinthcliffe is buried in this land of Scotland. Shakespeare's Mark pace, where he heard the witch's prophecy, is also a wilderness covered with heather.

The growth of heather has three obvious stages, which are very similar to human growth, one is the growth period, the other is the development period, and the other is the flowering period, so if we want to take good care of heather, we need to start from the growth needs of these three stages and seek the correct culture method of heather.
