How to reproduce goldfish flower

The leaf surface of goldfish flower is dark green, the Corolla is tubular, the flower edge is slightly curved, the mouth is altar-shaped, the initial stage of flowering is red, and then it gradually changes to light yellow to white, more than spring flowering, flowering for more than 20 days. So, how do goldfish flowers reproduce?

First, how to reproduce goldfish flowers?

Goldfish flowers are often propagated by cuttings. In spring and autumn, the branches with about 10cm length were cut and inserted into the seedbed made of river sand or vermiculite. The temperature was kept between 20 and 25 ℃, and they could take root in about one month. After rooting and survival, strengthen management, promote the extraction of new branches, and carry out heart-picking, promote branching. It can be planted in pot after 1-2 months.

Second, what are the cultivation techniques of goldfish flowers?

1. Soil

The pot soil for the cultivation of goldfish flower should be loose and fertile sandy loam with good drainage and ventilation and rich in organic matter, preferably planted with peat soil or rotten leaf soil, or mixed with perlite and peat soil according to different proportions to make it weakly acidic to facilitate growth.

2. Temperature

The suitable temperature for goldfish flower growth is 16-26 ℃. Too high or too low temperature will affect the growth. In warm spring and autumn, branches can constantly branch and grow new leaves; growth stagnation occurs when the summer temperature exceeds 30 ℃, so watering should be controlled in a cool and ventilated place; when the winter is lower than 10 ℃, it should be dormant, and it should be moved indoors for overwintering, and the overwintering room temperature should not be less than 5 ℃, otherwise it is vulnerable to freezing damage.

3. Fertilization

The fertilizer demand of goldfish flower depends on the growth status of the plant. Usually, when the seedlings are transplanted, 20-30 slow-release organic compound fertilizer particles are added to the pot soil, and then the organic fertilizer is buried again in combination with changing the basin. Applying thin cake fertilizer and water 1-2 times a month and applying more phosphorus and potassium fertilizer before and during flowering can promote more flowering of the plant. When the plant stops growing in summer and after dormancy in winter, fertilizer should be stopped to avoid fertilizer damage.

Goldfish flower can watch both leaves and flowers, suitable for indoor hanging basin or hanging basket cultivation, placed on the top of the cabinet, several frames or windowsill hanging, the ornamental effect is excellent.
