How to propagate longevity flowers (three cutting methods) maintenance of longevity flowers

Longevity flower belongs to a kind of succulent plant, not only very good breeding, and reproduction speed is also very fast. However, recently many flower friends have complained that the survival rate of longevity flower cuttings is too low, basically black or rotten. In fact, the small editor thinks that the main reason is not to master the correct cuttage technology, the following small series to introduce several cuttage technology, to ensure the survival rate of 100 percent!

How to reproduce longevity flowers (three cutting methods)

1. Longevity flower terminal bud cuttings:

1. Cut the terminal buds of the longevity flower branches to ensure that there are four leaves on each terminal bud, and there are no diseases and insect pests.

2, soil can be mixed with nutrient soil: coconut brick soil: pearlite according to the ratio of 5:3:2.

3. Put the reduced terminal buds in a cool and ventilated place, dry the wounds, then cut them into flower pots, pour water through them, and put them in scattered light for maintenance.

4. During the germination of longevity flowers, watering should be controlled, because longevity flowers are fleshy stems and have good water retention ability. When there is too much water, it is easy to cause stem rot.

2. Longevity flower leaf insertion:

1. The leaves of longevity flower are fleshy and contain a lot of water, so they will not die soon after leaving the plant. At this time, if there is soil moisture, then the leaves will grow new small plants, just like meaty ones.

2, leaf cuttings leaves, to dry first, and then we can have two choices, one is to cut leaves in the cultivation matrix, the matrix can be mixed with vermiculite and perlite according to the ratio of 4:1, another method is to use hydroponic method, first let the leaves take root, and then cutting, can improve the survival rate.

3. Longevity flower water plug:

1. For the flower friends who are always rotten stems, Huahua suggests that everyone should first take root by water insertion. First, cut the healthy longevity flower cuttings and put them in a ventilated place to dry the wounds.

3, about two weeks or so, longevity flowers will grow new buds and roots, then you can go to the pot.

Longevity Flower Conservation

1. Stripping and topping. For longevity flowers, the growth period is too high too long is not conducive to late flowering dense, so be sure to timely pick the heart and top to multi-branch. When it grows to five pairs of leaves, pick the middle three pairs and leave only two pairs, and then repeat the operation when the lateral buds grow five pairs, about two or three times; for the branches that are too long or have too few branches, cut off the upper part directly and leave only two pairs of leaves at the bottom.

2. Fertilization. Phosphorus and potassium fertilizer can help flower bud density and prolong flowering period, according to the growth situation of half a month or January can be applied. Appropriate application of nitrogen fertilizer during the growing season also contributes to growth.

3. Pest control. Powdery mildew is the most common disease of longevity flower. It can be prevented by spraying special fungicides once a month. Pay attention to the back of leaves when spraying.

Cultivation of Longevity Flower Bonsai

1. Cultivation methods:

Longevity flower in cultivation, should choose to plant in spring or change pots for soil. The basin soil is fertile sandy loam soil. The mixture ratio of humus, coarse sand and chaff charcoal is 2:2:1.

When planting, the bottom of the pot should be padded with tiles, and decomposed organic fertilizer should be added to the culture soil as base fertilizer. After planting can not be watered immediately, need to stop watering a few days later, so as not to root rot.

2. Cultivation management:

After potted, it grows more vigorously in a slightly humid environment. In midsummer, control watering and pay attention to ventilation.

Fertilization is applied once every half month during the growth period, and special fertilizer for potted flowers of 15-15-30 can also be used. 2 weeks after planting, spray once with 0.2% bijiu and spray once again with plant height of 12 cm.

The reason why longevity flowers do not bloom

1. Light discomfort

Too strong or too weak light will affect the flowering of plants. Longevity flowers like a sunny environment, to ensure that more than 4 hours of direct sunlight a day to grow healthily, but to avoid summer noon light exposure. If the plant withers due to excessive exposure, it will also affect the growth of the plant. There is also a case that the various parts of the longevity flower are not evenly exposed to light, and the plant is deformed, which will also affect flowering.

Don't think that everything will be fine when the longevity flower blooms. After the longevity flower blooms, the light should also be sufficient. If placed in the shade for a long time, it will cause the leaves to wither and the color to dim, thus causing the flowers to fall off and wither.

2. Improper fertilizer nutrients

Longevity flowers are fertile plants and bloom for up to six months, requiring more nutrients than other flowers. If the gardener himself is lazy, the reason why the longevity flower does not bloom is obvious. The flower bud differentiation of longevity flower is slow under the strong mania of lack of fertilizer. Even if the plant has more branches, it is difficult to ensure that flowers will bloom on each flower head because of lack of nutrients.

The ornamental value of longevity flower is very high, not only the flower color is gorgeous, the flowering time is long, and when it does not bloom, the perennial green leaves are also very delicate and beautiful, and friends who like flowers can plant a pot at home! It is very good to decorate the room and purify the air!
