How to raise egg blossom in pot culture methods and matters needing attention

Egg blossom is produced in Xishuangbanna, China and some Southeast Asian countries. Its flower shape is unique. There is a little yellow in the middle of the white petals, just like an egg. It is white on the outside and yellow yolk on the inside, so it is called this name. How on earth do you grow beautiful egg blossoms? Next, let's introduce its breeding method.

How to raise potted egg blossoms

1. The basin soil is mixed according to garden soil: garbage soil: river sand = 4:4:2, and appropriate amount of mature organic fertilizer can be added. When planting, you can slightly expose the root on the basin, put it in a cool place after planting, and then move to a sunny place after 15 days.

2. Only when the branches are exposed to the sun in summer, the branches can grow sturdily. In the high temperature season in summer and autumn, it coincides with the peak period of egg flower growth and flowering. Water should be watered 1-2 times every night. In case of rain in summer and autumn, water should be poured out of the basin in time. Attention should be paid to checking the dry and wet condition of the basin soil and watering according to the principle of seeing dry and wet.

In case of rain, we should pour out the stagnant water in the basin in time to prevent the root system from rotting. The rotten and thin fertilizer was applied every 15-20 days in the growing season. The thin fertilizer dominated by phosphorus should be applied 1-2 times before flowering. If there is not enough fertilizer, there will be little or no flowering.

3. As the leaves fall after autumn, the pot plants in the north should move into the sunny place to prevent freezing and keep warm in the middle and last ten days of October. If the room temperature is above 5 ℃, it can survive the winter safely. Pay attention to ventilation and see the light. The room temperature should be more than 10 ℃, low temperature and poor indoor ventilation will make the plants lose leaves, and indoor watering should be watered every two weeks.

4. In winter, watering should be controlled, fertilization should be stopped, and the plant should be dormant, and the room temperature should be maintained at about 10 ℃, which is beneficial to the safe overwintering of egg flower. If dwarfing plants are needed, they can be pruned properly after defoliation in winter every year, and the pots need to be changed once a year in spring to renew the basin soil and apply sufficient base fertilizer.

Culturing method of egg flower

1. Soil: egg flower is not strict to the soil, and the planting effect is the best in the loose soil with more humus. After planting egg flowers, set them indoors to avoid shade, see weak light a week later, and then put them in a sunny place after half a month.

2. Watering: egg flowers like to be wet and resistant to drought, but they are afraid of waterlogging. Therefore, watering should be moderate, grasp the principle of no dry, no watering, no watering, no waterlogging. In the spring and autumn interval, the soil is watered once every day from 1 to 2 days, once in the morning on a sunny day in summer, and once again in the evening if the soil is dry. In the rainy season, attention should be paid to pouring the stagnant water in the basin to prevent rotting roots, and once every ten days and a half months in winter to keep the basin soil slightly moist and dry.

3, fertilization: egg flower likes fertilizer, when potting or turning the basin to change soil, it is appropriate to add 20 grams to 30 grams of bone powder, 50 grams to 80 grams of superphosphate (because it is born in calcareous soil, pay attention to calcium), from May to October, 10 to 15 days to apply a weak mature organic fertilizer or nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium compound fertilizer, avoid single application of nitrogen fertilizer, prevent apprentice growth, do not apply fertilizer in winter.

4. Illumination: egg flower is a strong positive flower, the more sunshine is, the better the growth is. Except for shading for 7 to 10 days after pots or changing soil, the rest of the time should be placed in a sunny place. Although it can also grow in a semi-shady environment, it only grows branches in a shady environment, with few flowers or long leaves without flowering.

Matters needing attention in egg flower culture

1. Change the basin in time

Egg flower grows rapidly and grows carefree every day. It usually needs to change the basin every spring. According to the size of the plant, the basin soil can be mixed with 4 parts of garden soil, 4 parts of horse dung soil and 2 parts of river sand, and an appropriate amount of base fertilizer is placed in each pot. After changing the basin, it should be watered thoroughly and moved to the sunny place a week later.

2. Avoid frost injury

Egg flower is not cold-resistant, try to control the temperature above 5 ℃, when the temperature drops to 10 ℃, enter the room in time, put it in a sunny place, control the temperature in the room at 10: 15 ℃, far away from household appliances radiation can reduce leaves.

What if the egg flower loses its leaves?

1. We should water reasonably and choose containers with good drainage. When pouring, we should make the soil full, not dry and wet suddenly, and let the water flow out from the bottom and not accumulate water.

2. We can change the pot soil appropriately. Of course, we should pay attention to it when we plant plants in the first place.

3, the emergence of diseases and insect pests, the need to use pesticides, there are drugs specifically for it on the market.

4. Egg blossoms have a great demand for light. It will not work if they are not exposed to the sun for a long time. Ordinary flowers can't stand it, so always let it bask in the sun.

It is very easy to raise egg flowers, but there are many things we need to pay attention to in the process of breeding, such as avoiding frost damage and changing pots in time, otherwise it will not be able to meet its growth needs and limit it. On the other hand, it is easy to lose leaves, so it is necessary to do preventive work in advance.
