2018 Photography Competition Terrace Group

2018 has just entered May, but the temperature in Hangzhou is already 30 °+.

A sense of muggy heat is rolling in, which is also the biggest feature of Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai.

Although spring is very short, I also left the beauty of flowers and plants with my camera.

Personally, I prefer woody and bulbous plants.

I like the powerful tree trunks in the woody sky and the green shade.

I also like the colorful bulbs and naughty and lovely plant types.

There are few herbs, which can be regarded as a rare embellishment in the shade of green trees.

Bulb season

I have been growing sorrel for five years.

The design and color that favors it most is rich.

Of course, what is more important is the vitality it brings to the deep winter and early spring.

The flowering period of planting bulbs in autumn is from September to May of the following year.

My family is mainly OB line, the blooming period is from December to May of the following year.

High quality bulbs were selected in the autumn sowing season from the end of August to October.

Cultivated in soft and fertile soil.

I usually use earthworm soil, or slow-release fertilizer + peat soil configuration.

The common sorrel basin is about 12 centimeters and buries 1-4 balls.

However, an 18-18 square basin was selected for the 2017 autumn season.

Most varieties are about 9 balls in one pot.

Pay attention to the application of nitrogen fertilizer during the growing period and the addition of phosphate fertilizer at flowering stage.

After flowering, it is necessary to use some potash fertilizer to increase underground bulb propagation.

Oxalis is a typical sunny plant.

Like the maintenance environment with good lighting conditions.

My terrace is facing south.

Therefore, it is very suitable for cultivating sorrel.

Every autumn sowing season, a sorrel phalanx of about 12 square meters is placed on the ground.

When they are in full bloom, they become flower carpets.

All kinds of sorrel flowers compete for beauty, which is really the most beautiful scenery!

Although it doesn't grow herbs very much. But these beautiful elves are also indispensable elements.

Alum root has gradually become another feature of my family.

In most areas of Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai, dew alum roots cannot spend the summer smoothly.

Especially in places where 40 degrees are exposed to the sun.

My terrace is also a hot-wave environment.

But because I have some very large woody plants to provide shade.

So the alum root grows safely in the shade of the tree.

As the weather gets hot, it needs to be rehydrated about 1-2 times a day.

It is cultivated in a mud basin which is breathable and permeable.

I'm more curious.

I like to play with some new plants.

This year we challenged the grape Fritillaria and the Greek anemone.

It is not difficult to grow both kinds of plants.

But very afraid of rotten ball, the main problem lies in the air permeability of the soil configuration.

You can refer to the conservation methods of succulent plants.

A large number of granular media are added to the soil to enhance water permeability.

To prevent the mildew of bulbs.

Of course, my favorite is kimoto. In spring, flowers and plants are the protagonists.

That wooden book is an indispensable background.

It is always a faint foil in photography.

This year get has come to play with Iris plants.

So several Iris bulbs have been added.

The main point of cultivation of these varieties is close planting.

Close planting is the biggest way for bulbous plants to burst into pots.

Then there is the problem of lodging, which has always been a drawback of Iridaceae.

In 2018, after my observation, analysis and practice.

I think potash fertilizer plays an important role in the conservation of Iris plants.

The effect of potash fertilizer itself can improve the stress resistance of plants.

Resistant to diseases and insect pests, anti-freezing, anti-lodging.

Therefore, the appropriate amount of potassium fertilizer can help Iridaceae plants to stand independently without binding and other means.

For example, I tried this method on the following three kinds of plants this year.

The effect is very good, even if there is no support, it will burst the basin.

Narcissus calamus:

Iris:

Native freesia:

I personally prefer plain flowers.

However, there are also some flamboyant plants at home.
