Planting methods and management of winter flowers

Select a piece of loose and fertile sunny slope land or sunny slope lowland in the mountain area, deep ploughing and fertilization, and make field beds and drains according to the topography. After the seeds are ripe, the seeds are treated and spread evenly on the border, then covered with soil and covered with a layer of straw, and the seedlings emerge after a week. At the beginning of spring, we should uncover the straw and do a good job in the basic management of water and fertilizer, replenishing seedlings and cultivating soil.

Points for attention in winter flower planting:

1. Temperature

Winter flowers have higher requirements for the temperature of the planting environment. If winter flowers are to sprout and grow seedlings, the temperature of the planting ground should be at least about ten degrees Celsius. The most suitable temperature for winter flower growth is about 15 to 25 degrees. If the temperature is higher than 35 degrees, the stems and leaves of winter flowers will slowly dry up, lose 10%, and eventually lead to plant death. If the temperature is below ten degrees, the winter flowers will be frostbitten or even frostbitten to death. However, there is a certain temperature difference in the climate of our country throughout the year, so we need to cool down in summer and do a good job of thermal insulation in winter.

2. Soil

Winter flowers also have strict requirements on the soil of the planting land. Then when we choose a place, we need to pay attention to selecting it scientifically according to the growth habits of winter flowers. Generally, it is necessary to choose places with sufficient soil fertility, loose soil, strong moisture retention, good animal fertilizer, rich organic matter and convenient drainage and irrigation for planting. When preparing the soil, it is necessary to open ditches and prepare for flood prevention, so as to prevent winter flowers from drowning.

3. Density

The planting density is also a problem that we need to pay attention to. When planting, strips or holes are generally used. The distance between rows under each condition is about 25 to 30 centimeters, and the distance between each plant is about 10 to 15 centimeters. If the hole is planted, the distance between each plant is generally about 15 to 20 centimeters, and the row spacing is about 30 to 35 centimeters. This is the reference density of winter flower planting, and you can decide according to the fertility of the planting land.

4. Thinning leaves

Leaf thinning and ventilation is also a problem that many people ignore when planting winter flowers. In general, around June to July, the temperature is tall, and the branches and leaves of winter flowers grow faster, which will cause closeness in the fields, poor air circulation and many branches and leaves can not carry out photosynthesis. Then we need to use scissors to prune the withered yellow and overdense branches and leaves to enhance the permeability of the field. Another thing to pay attention to is not to tear the branches and leaves of winter flowers with your hands. In the later stage, if the branches and leaves continue to grow and reduce the permeability, they need to continue pruning. At the same time, at the beginning of September, you can trim the aging branches and leaves, leaving only the heart leaves.

The above is the introduction of the planting methods and management of winter flowers. I hope it will be helpful to you.
