Notes on how to raise Stone Flower in Winter and Summer

Stone flower must be no stranger to many people. At present, it can be seen in many parts of our country. The ornamental value of raw stone flower is very high, so many people like to breed it, but in the process of breeding, it will be different according to different seasons, so it is necessary to master the conservation methods in different seasons.

How to raise raw stone flowers in winter

1. The maintenance of raw stone flowers in winter is mainly divided into two situations, one is in the north and the other in the south; the reason for this division is that the difference in climate between the north and the south cannot be generalized, although it is cold in the north, but it is relatively simple because there is heating in the room. Most of the south has no heating, but the temperature is slightly higher and the humidity is not high, so it is more difficult to maintain than in the north.

2, first of all, in the northern areas, normal maintenance is fine in places with heating, which is the growing period. if there is no heating, then we first need to ensure that the lowest ambient temperature can not be lower than-5 ℃ (the temperature is the lifeline), and the water should be cut off and placed in a sunny place.

3. In the southern region and some areas north of the Yangtze River, there is neither heating nor cold in winter, just like there is no heating maintenance method in the north, which is basically water cut off and sunlight to keep warm.

Matters needing attention in summer

1, the summer stone flowers will enter the dormant period, which is very clear to my friends. In order to ensure the safety of the plant, most of the friends control the water properly for it. Because of the lack of nourishment of water, the stone flowers in summer appear crumpled. But what friends need to know is that in the temperature below 30 degrees Celsius, friends can properly replenish some water. But when the temperature exceeds 30 degrees Celsius, friends should stop watering to prevent the roots of stone flowers from rotting.

Although stone flowers are native to Africa, the environment in which they grow is not so hot. Friends can't put it outside in the midday sun in summer, otherwise the plants will be easily dried. In order to ensure the safety of the plant, friends still need to shade the plant to prevent the leaves of stone flowers from being damaged by the sun.

3. In order to let the stone flowers grow better to spend the summer, without the occurrence of water. Friends should be ventilated in time, otherwise the plants are very susceptible to mold. Friends can put the stone flowers on the ventilated balcony so that the plants will not have any problems. If there is no wind, friends also need to use electric fans to provide some cool wind, so that the plants can safely spend the summer.

The method of root trimming and matters needing attention of stone flower

Methods: to rebuild the root, first cut all the roots across the board, keep the length of the 1cm, then remove all the fibrous roots and retain the strongest main root. It can be planted after drying in a cool and ventilated place for a week. Keeping 1 Murray 2 items during root pruning can ensure that the plant will not lodge. In the basin, pay attention to the soil should not be too fine, watering can not be more watering.

Note: stone flower root trimming, in order to make it better survive. It should be noted that the fibrous root generally needs to be cut off, otherwise it may lead to root rot. Pruning the main root of this branch can make it germinate more fibrous roots. In the process of root pruning, you need to dry it in the pot for a few days to avoid being infected with germs and rot. Make sure the soil is ventilated and add some nutrients to the roots when potting. First bury the root, and then fix the lower part of the sphere.

Causes and treatment methods of stiff seedlings of Lithocarpus chinensis

Reason: stone flowers become rigid seedlings, mainly because the roots are damaged and can not absorb water and nutrients normally. The growth of the plant stopped because of lack of nutrients for a long time. In general, after the planting soil is dry and then watered or stimulated by sunlight and temperature, the roots will instinctively protect themselves, so there will be stiff seedlings.

Treatment: as mentioned above, stone flowers become stiff seedlings because the roots cannot absorb nutrients, which is much easier. Changing soil and transplanting seedlings is the most effective method at present. But this method is not 100% useful. The growth of each raw stone flower is different. Some have been stiff for a long time, and sometimes they cannot be saved. Moreover, everyone's transplanting techniques are different, and whether they can be saved depends on your ability.

Stone flowers still have a certain cold resistance, in the winter to the right amount of watering, but also need to actively light. Summer is the dormant period of stone flowers, at this time must be less watering and fertilization, otherwise it may cause plant necrosis!
