How to raise African Corydalis Culture methods and matters needing attention

African pansy is a common herb with small shape and high ornamental value. it is mainly ornamental to flowers, and the color of flowers is generally common in pink, blue and purple. Now many people like to raise it, but in the process of breeding, if you do not master the correct breeding skills, it may also lead to the death of plants.

How to raise African pansy

1. Temperature and humidity are important factors to be considered in the cultivation of Corydalis. Most African pansy can grow at 16-27 degrees Celsius, but the ideal temperature is 22-24 degrees during the day and 18 degrees at night. The best humidity is 40%, 60%. In the hot season, you can put a humidifier or a bowl of water next to the African pansy to increase humidity.

2. Light is very important for promoting flowering. Please put the plant by the window so that the right amount of sunlight can come in through the glass. The one next to the east-facing window is the best, because the plants can shine on the morning sun. If you put it in front of a window facing south or west, cover it with thin curtains. In addition, in order to evenly expose all parts of the plant to the sun, turn the flowerpot 1 turn 4 times every other week.

Culture method of African Corydalis

1. Potted flowerpots should be of moderate size. When breeding African pansy, it is important to choose flowerpots, and the size must be the right size. African pansy itself is a relatively short plant, and the root system is underdeveloped. So when choosing a flowerpot, just choose the right one according to its plant.

2. Choose the suitable soil. When cultivating African pansy, choose the soil to meet the growth needs of African pansy, it likes loose, fertile, slightly acidic soil, so you can choose this kind of soil when potted. It is generally mixed with rotten leaf soil and sand or peat soil.

3. The light should be suitable. When cultivating African pansy, it is worth noting that it likes plenty of light, but avoids direct sunlight, because direct light can easily burn the leaves of African pansy, yellowing or even withering them. However, there can not be lack of light, too little light will affect the growth of Corydalis, so that it blossoms less, Hawthorn leaves only flowering phenomenon.

4. Watering should be appropriate. In the cultivation of African pansy to meet its water needs, but watering should be appropriate, not too much, if too much water will lead to stagnant water in the basin, making it rotting roots. At the same time, don't pour water on the leaves, it will rot.

5. Fertilizer should be applied thinly. When raising African pansy, do not apply too much fertilizer, usually apply thin liquid fertilizer every 10 days or so. When choosing fertilizers, generally choose fertilizers with more uniform elements of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium, and pay attention not to apply nitrogen fertilizer partially, but can increase the application of phosphorus and potassium fertilizer when flowering. In summer, when the temperature is high, you can stop fertilizing and resume fertilization after the temperature drops.

Matters needing attention in the Culture of African Corydalis

Water early in spring and noon in winter. If you can't get up early enough in summer, water well in the evening and replenish water in autumn. African pansy is a more moisture-resistant plant, try to keep the soil moist, it is best to water once a month to dilute the basin salt. Everything is moderate, it is easy to get bacteria if it is too wet, and it is easy to cause insects if it is too dry.

Common diseases of Corydalis and their control

1. Epidemic disease. The disease first appeared on the leaves, with brown spots like water stains and obvious wheel lines. Under wet conditions, the disease spot expands quickly, the edge is not obvious, and sparse white mildew will appear. Under dry conditions, the disease spot stops expanding and the disease tissue dries up. For the prevention and control of the epidemic disease, it can be prevented and treated by spraying metalaxyl, ethyl aluminum, killing alum and other agents.

2. White silk disease. The disease mainly harms the stem base and root of Corydalis. At first, some water-stained yellow-brown spots will be produced near the soil at the base of the plant, and then quickly expand and invade the roots, which in serious cases will lead to the rot of the injured area and the death of the whole plant. For the control of white silk disease, fungicides such as carbendazim, Bordeaux solution and Bomite sulfur mixture can be sprayed on the base of plant stem and substrate.

In fact, the breeding method of African corydalis is not difficult, mainly starting from the growth habits, we must do a good job of temperature and light when breeding, and strengthen the management of fertilizer, water and diseases in the later stage. only in this way can we ensure the healthy growth of African pansy.
