Matters needing attention in changing pots and pots how to water raw stone flowers

Stone flower is a special succulent, its shape is like a color of small stones, showing an irregular shape, will blossom, the color of the flower is generally orange, white. Now stone flowers are loved by many people, thus raising them. But in the process of breeding, there are also a lot of things to know.

Matters needing attention for changing pots of raw stone flowers

The main results are as follows: 1. the raw stone flower grows in the cold period and dormancy in the high temperature period. Therefore, the time for changing pots of raw stone flowers should be from the end of the dormant season to the beginning of the growing season. The time of changing pots for raw stone flowers should be different in different areas. In the north, the basin change is in autumn, while in the south, it will be delayed by 1-2 months.

2. When changing pots for raw stone flowers, first shake off the old soil of the roots, trim the small branches with scissors, leave 0.5 cm of the main root, at the same time cut off the dry old root and rotten root, try not to hurt the hairy root, put it in a dry and ventilated place for 3-5 days, wait for the wound to dry and heal, and then put it on the basin. The basin bottom is first covered with a layer of large-particle plant materials, such as cinder, light stone, ceramsite, etc., to increase drainage and water permeability, and then fill the soil. The basin soil can be made of humus soil, vermiculite soil, fairy soil, fine red jade soil and a small amount of bone powder, topzine and other fungicides (or grain husk charcoal). This kind of matrix is loose and breathable, good drainage, rich nutrition and coarse particle size.

3, at this time, fill the soil to the full basin 4x5, with tweezers (it is appropriate to choose a round head, the pointed plant is easy to scratch and cause infection) clamp the root into the basin soil, so that the root is not buried in the soil; the remaining 1can5 space can be covered with pebbles or other particles as you like, beautiful and spatter-proof. Then put it in a half-shaded ventilated place and don't rush to water it. Wait until the old skin becomes thinner and brittle due to growth and development, and can be removed gently with tweezers before watering.

How to water raw stone flowers

1. The soil should be moist in winter and spring. At the end of autumn and winter, heating begins in the north, and the indoor temperature feels like 'Xiaoyangchun'. At this time, stone flowers are scattered and grow. Always observe the dry and wet condition of the basin soil, especially to distinguish the size of the flowerpot and the speed of drainage. The topsoil is dry and watered until there is water leakage at the bottom of the basin. If the drainage of the matrix is too good, you can sit in the basin to absorb water, however, sitting basin absorption will often make the soil surface accumulate salt, use as little as possible. During this period, the potted soil was too dry, the small color of stone flowers was dim, and the seed setting rate after flowering was also very low. Starting from December, the temperature drops, keep the basin soil dry, but do not ignore the dry weather, indoor heating, rapid water evaporation and other factors. As for the beginning of anti-freezing in January, pay attention to the water temperature and air temperature when watering to avoid freezing. In mid-February, it is early spring, the temperature has picked up, the sun is shining, stone flowers should see more sunshine, watering returned to the state of the Beginning of Winter, mainly by irrigation basin method. But at this time, the new leaves of most plants began to crack, watering do not sprinkle water to the leaf mouth, so as not to easily cause the rot of stone flowers. After February, make sure the basin soil is moist.

2. Strengthen watering in autumn. After the Beginning of Autumn, the weather is getting cooler, non-dormant and semi-dormant stone flowers come back to life, dormant stone flowers also begin to recover, at this time the plant is more fragile, do not immediately water. The water spraying method is adopted, and the amount is not increased gradually. After mid-September, most species begin to grow and then water, but at slightly longer intervals. After the National Day, we began to pour water, fertilize and spray fertilizer on the leaves, so that the basin soil is damp but not wet. After mid-October, buds began to appear in plants that had been preserved for more than four or five years. In November, stone flowers bloom one after another.

Fertilization skills of raw stone flower

1, fruit peel bubble water fertilization method: this method is suitable for all friends, the orange peel in the fruit is the best, and the production method is also very simple. In spring and winter every year, the orange peel peeled off is collected, chopped and put into a bottle. Pour in water, the proportion is about 3x2 and 1x3, then seal it, place it in the sun for about half a month, and you can use it. A bottle of orange peel water and the same bottle of water can be applied once every half a month. 2. Potassium dihydrogen phosphate fertilization method: this fertilizer is sprayed on the surface of the plant, but it should be sprayed after September until the beginning of June of the following year, once every 10 or 15 days.

Control of Diseases and insect pests of Stone Flower

1. Leaf spot. Spraying from the early stage of the disease to prevent the spread of the disease. The commonly used agents are 20% silazole, 1000 times of prochloraz and so on.

2. Leaf rot. It can be sprayed with 600 times liquid of 65% Dyson zinc wettable powder. Insect pests are harmful to ants and root-knot nematodes. Soil exchange method is used to reduce nematode damage.

3. Ants can be waterproof and maintained with a set of pots, so that ants can not climb to the tender and juicy spherical leaves.

Stone flowers in the change of pots must pay attention to pruning skills, and then the proportion of soil, and then timely change pots, the only way to ensure its survival rate. Stone flowers must pay attention to the season when watering. There will be differences in watering methods in different seasons, so we should know more about it.
