Growth Habits of Fortune

Lucky head originated in the Andes Mountains, China's Guangdong, Shanghai and other places more use of greenhouse growth and cultivation. Like warm and humid and sunny environment, not cold-resistant, more resistant to shade, afraid of direct sunlight, soil to fertile, loose, good drainage of decayed soil is good, winter temperature is not lower than 12℃. Like warm and humid and bright light, suitable for growth temperature 20~27℃ should be planted in loose breathable and rich in humus medium.

Lucky breeding method

1, ramets: fortune first plant flowering will grow from the base of the mother plant 1 to several tiller buds. Don't divide plants immediately after flower failure, wait for the best time. It is best to carry out in April every year, and the buds have more than 6 leaves to be suitable for sub-plants, and the temperature is more than 30 degrees Celsius.

2, sowing: good luck when sowing breeding is relatively simple, but the seeds are not easy to obtain, and the maintenance time is relatively long. When sowing, control the temperature above 16℃, select acid pot soil, and sow after the temperature rises in the morning. After sowing, cover with chopped moss or plastic film to keep moisture. After sowing, the temperature is controlled at 25~30℃, and the seedlings can emerge in about 25 days.

3, group breeding: At present, there is also a way to use tissue culture, that is, the use of culture dishes in a sterile environment, although the family technology can not meet the requirements, but this method of reproduction of good luck is relatively good quality, and the number of reproduction is more.

How to raise potted plants when they are lucky?

1. Light: Light plays an important role in cultivation. In cold season, at least 4 to 5 hours of sunshine is needed every day. On cloudy days, light can be used instead of sunlight. It should not be exposed to sunlight. In summer, it should be placed in a cool place.

2, temperature: the suitable temperature for good luck is 15℃ to 22℃, the lowest temperature in winter should not be lower than 10℃, otherwise it will cause the plant to be frozen, so that the leaf color turns yellow, affecting the healthy growth of the plant.

3, soil: good luck head suitable for loose, fertile, humus soil growth, can choose peat soil 2 parts add fine sand 1 part mixed, prepared into culture soil.

4. Fertilizer: The flowering period of fortune must be full of fertilizer. Usually, thin organic liquid fertilizer is applied once every two weeks, such as bean cake and sesame sauce residue soaking solution. Soybean soaking solution or fermented rice washing water can also be used.

5, moisture: good luck in the head of the wet environment, weekdays to keep the basin soil wet, rainy days generally do not water. Family cultivation, it is best to use purified water after drying, not directly with tap water irrigation.

6. Diseases and pests: It is easy to cause diseases and pests in the environment with high temperature and humidity and poor ventilation. If diseases are found, carbendazim can be sprayed in time, and omethoate can be sprayed for pests.

Good luck notes

1. Fortune likes warm and cold, likes humid and semi-cloudy environment, and avoids direct light. If the light is too strong, the leaves will lose their ornamental value due to yellow, stripe and fading, so 50~60% shade should be provided in spring, summer and autumn. Color leaves such as red back fortune head belongs to a variety of more light, in the strong sunlight, its leaves colorful, should be placed in the sunny windowsill, balcony and other places to maintain. It is suitable for growing in loose, ventilated, well permeable soil.

2. The growth temperature of Lucky Head is 18~30℃, the suitable temperature is 20~25℃, and the lowest temperature is 12~15℃. In winter, it can safely overwinter at temperatures above 10~12℃, and it is vulnerable to cold damage below 10℃. The appropriate temperature is 16~20℃. Summer temperature is too high, the leaves will be dry and pointed because of excessive moisture, so we should pay attention to frequent spraying to the leaves, increase air humidity, and appropriate shade, strengthen ventilation to reduce the temperature.

3, good luck when the acid, water quality requirements pH 5.5~6.5, do not like salt, especially calcium salt and sodium salt. If pH value is higher than 7, plants absorb nutrients poorly, leaves lose luster, photosynthesis ability decreases, and easily cause heart rot and root rot. Hard water contains too much calcium and magnesium salts and should not be used. Tap water contains a lot of chlorine and sodium and should not be used. Groundwater varies greatly from region to region and should be used after water quality analysis. In addition, fortune is most afraid of flooding, matrix moisture content is too high, drainage or permeability is poor, often resulting in rotten roots and rotten heart.

The appropriate relative humidity is 50~75%, higher than 80% should strengthen ventilation, otherwise it is easy to cause disease or excessive growth. Less than 40%, easy to cause leaf tip wilt, need regular spray moisture or through high-pressure spray humidification system for humidification. Summer high temperature and high humidity period, should try to strengthen ventilation, winter low temperature period is not suitable for more water spray, spring high temperature dry period should be more water spray.
