So what aspects should be paid attention to when raising Platanus orientalis? Let's go with the editor to learn about the maintenance skills of dangling flowers.

How to raise the hanging bell flower

1. Soil: change the basin every spring to add rotten leaf soil, the basin soil should be rich in humus rich in fertile, loose and well-drained slightly acidic sandy soil.

2. Light: sufficient sunshine, faster plant growth, more dense stems and leaves, more flowering; poor flowering in the shade, easy to fall off buds, or smaller flowers, dim color.

3. Watering: watering to avoid watering the petals to avoid white spots.

4. Fertilizer: fertilize once every semimonthly during the growing period. The soil remains moist in midsummer, with more sunshine, but to prevent hot sun exposure, spray water on the leaves sooner or later. When the weather turns cool in autumn, you should move indoors, stop fertilizing, control watering, and maintain ventilation.

5. Pruning: in cultivation, when the branches are scarce, it is necessary to prune the branches to make them have multiple lateral branches, and to cut off the overlong and disordered branches, weak branches and diseased branches, so as to promote the emergence of new branches, so as to achieve the purpose of more germinating branches and more flowering. The adult plant is pruned regularly every spring, and the aging of the plant needs strong pruning to promote the density of branches and leaves. Pruning can root and grow if it is cut directly on the hedge ground.

Culture methods and matters needing attention of Platanus orientalis

I. Culture methods

1. Soil requirements

The requirement of Platanus orientalis on soil is not high, and the soil rich in humus should be selected in basin soil. It is required to be fertile, loose and well drained, slightly acidic.

2. Light and temperature

Dangling flowers like high temperature and humid environment and require plenty of sunshine. It is not cold-resistant and slightly shade-resistant.

Platanus orientalis requires plenty of sunlight in the process of growth, so that the plant can grow healthily and have dense branches and leaves. Lack of light will affect the growth of plants, grow slowly, and even affect flowering.

As the bell flower is heat-resistant and not cold-resistant, the winter temperature will be higher, the lowest can not be less than 8 degrees, in the summer high temperature, to prevent sunlight exposure, so as not to burn the plant.

3. Water and fertilizer management

Dangling flowers like a moist environment, but they are not resistant to waterlogging, so watering should be based on keeping the soil moist. Pay attention to waterlogging prevention in summer rainy season, timely drainage, evaporation is large when the temperature is too high, spray water to the leaf sooner or later to replenish water, autumn temperature drop to 4, control watering.

Platanus orientalis is fertilized once every semimonthly during the growing period. When the weather turns cool in autumn, fertilizer should be stopped and ventilation should be maintained.

II. Points for attention

When watering the bell flowers, avoid watering the petals to avoid white spots. You should see more sunshine in summer, but you should prevent the hot sun from exposure. Attention should be paid to heat preservation when the weather turns cold in autumn, and it is best to maintain it indoors. Spring is the best time to change pots every year, when changing pots, you can change soil at the same time, and prune the bell flowers to cut off old branches, diseased branches and overgrown branches to promote new branches. Do a good job in pest control.

How to cut the Platanus orientalis

1. Time choice: for this way, except for the low temperature environment that is not suitable for the winter, the other three seasons are OK. However, the most suitable period is from March to May, and our main consideration is that the temperature is more suitable at this time.

2. Material selection: we need to choose those semi-lignified branches, and the other requirements are that it is best to choose strong and substantial branches. In addition, the length should be in the range of ten to fifteen cm.

3. Substrate selection: in order to better improve the survival probability of reproduction, we should consider nutrition, drainage and other functions. Therefore, we can choose other suitable materials such as sand or vermiculite as the matrix.

4. Formal cutting: keep the prepared substrate in a relatively wet state, and then insert the selected branches into it to keep the substrate often in a moist state. The survival rate of this method is still relatively high, about 80%. After waiting for about 25 days or a month or so, the cuttings can grow roots and leaves. When the root grows three to five, the length is about three centimeters, it can be planted. After that, pay attention to watering to keep it moist.
