Where does Zaolihua come from? What kind of environment is suitable for growth? How to plant potted plants?

Zaolihua, also known as taro and banana, is a perennial herb with purple flowers at the end of its stem, like bait tied to a fishing rod, with a very special shape. So, where did Zailihua come from? What kind of environment is suitable for growth? How to plant potted plants?

First, where does Zailihua come from?

A tropical plant native to the southern United States and Mexico. China's main planting cities: Haikou, Sanya, Qionghai, Kaohsiung, Tainan, Shenzhen, Zhanjiang, Zhongshan, Zhuhai, Macao, Hong Kong, Nanning, Qinzhou Beihai, Maoming, Jinghong.

Second, what is the suitable environment for Zili flower to grow?

Zulihua mainly grows in wet lowlands such as rivers, paddy fields, ponds, lakes, swamps and coastal beaches, and is suitable for slow-flow and still-water waters. From the shallow water with a depth of 0.6 meters to the shore, the water does not grow well at the base. Zelihua likes warm, wet, sunny environment, can not tolerate cold and drought, can tolerate semi-overcast, and grows well in slightly alkaline soil. The optimum growth temperature is 20-30 ℃, the growth is slow below 20 ℃, the growth is almost stopped below 10 ℃, and the low temperature of-5 ℃ can be tolerated for a short time. The aboveground parts below 0 ℃ gradually withered and overwintered with rhizomes in the mud. It has the characteristics of large reproduction coefficient, fast growth rate, strong water and fertilizer absorption capacity, relatively tall plants and so on, which has strong closure and intrusive effect on other aquatic plants, and is easy to form a single dominant community.

Third, how to plant potted flowers?

The substrate used for planting can be silt from lakes and ponds, or pastoral soil, especially pastoral topsoil. If raw soil is used, it is best to mix a certain amount of organic fertilizer as base fertilizer when planting. If the nutrient soil specially prepared by man is used, it is more beneficial to the growth of plants. Soilless cultivation can also be adopted, such as water moss, peat vermiculite and other substrates, combined with root bandage.

The water layer planted in containers is mainly in shallow water in spring to increase the temperature of the substrate and promote rooting and sprouting, while in summer it is mainly in deep water to prevent plants from being damaged by high water temperature. Proper water control in autumn and winter to facilitate safe winter.

Due to the limited nutritional conditions of the substrate of the planting container, except for the base fertilizer, the frequency of topdressing is obviously more than that of open field production. "frequent application of thin fertilizer" is its basic principle. The type and concentration of fertilizer should be determined according to different growth periods of plants, generally mainly inorganic fertilizer, and organic fertilizer should be applied properly at the same time.
