How to raise Water Tower Flower how to raise Water Tower Flower Culture methods and points for attention

The water tower flower may not be well understood by many flower friends, because it is relatively rare in our lives. The water tower flower has a very high ornamental value, its leaves are slender and hard, with fine teeth, and the flowers are rose-red, especially beautiful and generous. So how to raise such a beautiful flower in the water tower? Next, let's learn about it with the editor.

How to grow the flowers in the water tower

Chuanhua water tower flowers like warm, humid, sunny environment, only in bright light conditions, can blossom normally and get the most beautiful leaves, but still need to prevent the direct sunlight at noon in summer. The suitable growth temperature is 20-30 ℃ in summer and 15-18 ℃ in winter. It is difficult to grow when it is lower than 10 ℃, and the lowest growth temperature is 5 ℃ at night. The flowering water tower flower is more hardy and can withstand 2 ℃ low temperature for a short time. The soil is mixed with rotten leaf soil or peat soil with neutral or slightly acidic sandy loam.

Culture methods and matters needing attention of drooping flowers in water tower

1. Planting

The seedlings should be planted immediately after delivery, and the planting depth is generally maintained at 1 to 2 centimeters. If it is too deep, the medium will enter into the heart of the seedlings, affecting the growth of the seedlings. In addition, the medium should not be pressed too tightly and keep good permeability as far as possible. Water immediately and thoroughly after planting to ensure a good combination of roots and soil (note: there can be no shortage of water between leaves after planting).

2. Temperature

The suitable temperature of ornamental pineapple should be between 21 ℃ and 28 ℃ in daytime and from 18 ℃ to 21 ℃ at night. The high temperature should not be higher than 35 ℃ and the low temperature should not be lower than 15 ℃. If the temperature is higher than 35 ℃, it will cause high temperature injury, resulting in slow plant growth, small flower shape and few flower branches. If the temperature is below 10 ℃ for a long time, the leaves and bracts will turn red, white spot, white tip or discoloration, and the diseased part will scorch after drying. If the temperature continues to drop, the plant will die.

3. Humidity

Pineapples like a high humidity environment, and the air humidity should be maintained between 75% and 85%. In this humidity range, the plant will become round and plump, and the leaves will shine brightly. When the humidity is too low (less than 50%), the leaves will curl inward or fail to stretch, and even the leaf tip will scorch. However, the humidity should not be too high. If the humidity is too high, brown spots will appear on the leaves of the plant, and in serious cases, the phenomenon of rotten heart will appear. The relative humidity at seedling stage should be controlled between 80% and 85%, and should be controlled between 75% and 85% after 3 months of planting. The air humidity can be increased by sprinkling water under the planting bed and the aisle, and the cooling effect can be achieved at the same time.

4. Moisture

Water quality is very important for ornamental pineapples, and the lower the salt content, the better. The water quality with high calcium and high sodium salt will make the leaves lose their luster, hinder the photosynthesis, and easily cause heart rot and root rot. The EC value should be controlled below 0.3 and the pH value should be between 5.5 and 6.5. When the pH value is higher than 7, it will affect the nutrient absorption of the plant.

Matters needing attention in the culture of flowering flowers in water tower

The main results are as follows: 1. When the flowering water tower flower has not turned the pot for many years, the plant is not easy to sprout, and the plant cluster is easy to aging, and the growth potential becomes worse. The basin should be turned every 1-2 years, and it should be done after flowering. The matrix can be prepared with 1 part of peat soil, 1 part of vermiculite, 0.5 part of perlite, or 1 part of peat soil and 1 part of tree fern.

2. After the flower fades, the flower branches should be cut off in time to facilitate the plant to sprout.

What if the roots and stems of the water tower are rotten?

In fact, the root rot of the water tower flower is caused by too much watering, especially in winter, when the low temperature and stagnant water are very easy to cause the root rot of the flower.

Therefore, when watering the flowers of the Chuanhua water tower, we must be careful not to have stagnant water, and pay attention to maintaining the appropriate temperature in winter. In this way, the rootstock rot of the water tower flower can be avoided.

As mentioned above, in fact, the water tower flower is a very easy to raise flowers and plants, with large and many flowers, so it is a good choice to decorate the room or balcony, but because it needs to be cultivated for 3 years to blossom and bear fruit, so there are fewer people growing in life.
