The 10-yuan geranium flower ball has been open for two months and the balcony is packed.

May is the flowering time of geraniums, and many flower friends can't wait. Has your geranium blossomed yet? Don't patronize happiness, you should know more or less about the maintenance of geraniums. Make sure your geraniums are better than big peonies.

Pelargonium florescence

Now the technology is relatively advanced, and many geraniums do not bloom at the usual time. Although the flowering period is May-June, the actual situation in the north and south of the Yangtze River is not the same.

The following is the flowering time of geraniums from several flower friends in different regions, which you can refer to:

1. Northeast: in February (with heating), geraniums begin to bloom

2. Shanghai: in March, pelargonium (royal family) blossoms

3. Guangdong: geraniums bloom from the end of March to the end of May

4. Zhenjiang, Jiangsu Province: geraniums begin to bloom in mid-April

5. Huangshan, Anhui: cutting in October of the first year, flowering at the end of April of the second year

It hasn't blossomed yet, but it hasn't bloomed yet.

Some flower friends' geraniums don't blossom for a long time, or just a few, so you can urge them to blossom properly at this time:

1. Bask in the sun

Geraniums like light, and sometimes the leaves cover the buds and bud points, resulting in non-flowering or less flowering. At this time, you can rest assured to bask in the sun in all directions.

2. Vernalization

In the south, the temperature difference between day and night is small, vernalization is very difficult to complete. Huahua suggests freezing the geraniums outdoors at night and basking in the sun during the day, which will blossom immediately after vernalization.

3. Watering law

Irregularly watering, less water, most of the water may not blossom, watering every 3-5 days before flowering, be regular, don't fish for three days and dry the net for two days.

4. Maintain fertility

Insufficient fertility definitely affects flowering, while excessive fertilization, especially excessive nitrogen fertilizer, will result in excessive growth of branches and leaves, no or less flowering, and poor flowering quality.

If you don't have enough fertility, add some scale potash fertilizer, buy phosphorus and potash fertilizer directly or mix it with bone powder or dried bean dregs. If you have too much fertility, you can change the soil directly.

In flowering period

For those flower friends whose geraniums are blooming at home, in addition to taking beautiful photos, they should also pay attention to the following points in order to maintain their health and vitality:

1. high temperature shade, overcast rain and shelter from rain

Recently, the weather has changed greatly, and the flowering period of geranium is fragile. The high temperature (more than 30 degrees) will be shaded. Don't wilt in the sun.

Try to avoid the rain when it rains. Being caught in the rain will affect the flowering period. If the flowering period becomes shorter, the accumulation of moisture will be even worse.

2. Remove the residual flowers and yellow leaves

Remove the residual flowers, yellow leaves and weak branches in time, and cut off the first leaf 3-4 cm below the flower stalk, which can preserve nutrients and is beneficial to the growth of new flowers.

Try not to throw the remaining branches and dead leaves into the flowerpot, which will affect the air permeability of the pot soil and breed insects.

3. Buds, yellow leaves, dried leaves

There are five situations that will cause geraniums to eliminate bud yellow leaves and dried leaves, all of which are easy to solve. Don't panic:

A, high temperature yellow leaves, white leaves:

If the temperature is too high, it will affect the root system to absorb iron from the soil, and the new buds and leaves will appear iron-deficient yellow leaves and white leaves.

B, environmental change, adaptation period:

The new seedlings bought are mostly brought back with yellow leaves. At this time, put them on the balcony and windowsill of the semi-shade ventilation, control the water, and wait 3-5 days.

C. Lack of water and too much water

It is found that the basin soil is dry and needs more water during the flowering period, but for fear of waterlogging, watering once every 3-4 days is fine.

If you get caught in the rain or water, the leaves and roots are easy to rot, so control the water quickly, otherwise the rotten roots will be miserable after the accumulation of moisture.

D, diseases and insect pests

Geraniums are generally more tolerant and rarely suffer from diseases and insect pests. We can beware of the following three kinds: grey mold, iron rust and bacterial leaf spot.

When you get sick, remove the bad leaves and avoid spraying, so as to prevent bacteria from spreading to other leaves with water droplets. You can wipe the leaves with carbendazim solution (1Groupe 1000) to kill bacteria.

It is usually best to put the geraniums in a dry and ventilated place to prevent the growth of bacteria, so as to keep healthy.

Said so much.

Have you learned it, flower friends?

Stay until your home blossoms.
