It is an important potted flower during the Spring Festival. Cyclamen is a kind of flower with its own "fairy gas", graceful and graceful, placing a pot of cyclamen at home during the Spring Festival, with lively and festive colors, flowers and leaves, and elegant posture. Cyclamen is good-looking but delicate, so how to maintain cyclamen in winter?

1. Soil ratio

The soil should be loose and can be used to cultivate 2 parts of rotten leaf soil, 1 part of garden soil and a small amount of calcium superphosphate. Sun-dried and broken river mud can also be used.

2. Temperature management

Temperature has the greatest influence on cyclamen, especially in winter, especially in February, when temperature management is very important. Cyclamen likes a warm environment, so it is necessary to move indoors for maintenance in winter. Indoor maintenance should be kept away from heating equipment and should not be placed in the air outlet of the air conditioner, otherwise it will lead to dehydration.

The ideal temperature of cyclamen is 18: 22 ℃ in daytime and 10: 12 ℃ at night. The temperature is very low at night in winter, so you should pay special attention to heat preservation at this time.

In addition, the temperature difference between day and night should be controlled in the range of 10-15 ℃. In addition, the night temperature must be controlled above 10 ℃. If the temperature persists at 7: 8 ℃, it can blossom continuously, but if the flowering period is slightly delayed, if it is lower than 5: 6 ℃, it cannot blossom normally.

3. Moisture control

Cyclamen grows in a humid climate, so it is necessary to maintain sufficient humidity, especially at flowering stage. You can spray water with proper blades every day and sprinkle more water in the air to recuperate.

Cyclamen pot soil is a little boring to water, watering must be thoroughly watered, the bottom of the flowerpot can be water, water can not be poured on the bulb, to prevent the attack of soft rot.

The water evaporates slowly in winter, and cyclamen is a bulb, and the stagnant water in the basin is easy to rot. Therefore, when we plant cyclamen, we should choose basin soil with good permeability, and we can ventilate regularly when the temperature is high at noon.

4. Lighting demand

Cyclamen is a light-loving plant, especially at flowering stage, the demand for light is greatly increased. Lack of light pedicel fragile, lack of color, serious can not blossom. In the meantime, withered flowers should be removed to prevent them from absorbing nutrients, and the direction of the flowerpots should be changed to make them bloom evenly.

5. Fertilizer management

Cyclamen is in full bloom in winter and needs a lot of fertilizer, so timely fertilization is very necessary. Cyclamen seedlings mainly apply nitrogen fertilizer in the early stage, pay attention to phosphorus and potassium fertilizer in the later stage, topdressing every 15 days, and the concentration should not be too high.

Insist that the basin soil is wet. Liquid fertilizer can be applied for 1 or 2 times before flowering, but it is not allowed to apply fertilizer at flowering stage, so as not to affect the flowering of cyclamen.
