Plant a small gourd on the balcony and pay attention to these points. Each tree is full of dozens of casual games.

Hand-twisted gourd, because of exquisitely carved, small and lovely, loved by many people. At present, the temperature is just right, plant one in your own balcony, green vines winding along the balcony, green leaves and white flowers gourd brothers looming, particularly beautiful! You can produce a lot in one tree.

In fact, whether it is hand-twisted gourd, sub-gourd, wine fairy gourd, super-large gourd and so on, the planting method is similar.

So, if you grow your own plants in flowerpots, what aspects should you pay attention to? Let's take a look at this:

1. Select seeds

When selecting seeds, we should pay attention to: be sure to choose full seeds, dry and deformed ones, even if the seedlings come out are not necessarily healthy.

Then put it in a container and cover it with a wetting cotton cloth. In three or five days, the seeds can germinate. Of course, gourd seedlings are also available now. However, if there are seeds, it is recommended to cultivate their own, the dosage is not much, but also very convenient.

2. Sowing seeds

When planting, you should pay attention to: choose a deeper container, because its root system is particularly developed, the vine is also large, it is necessary to ensure that its nutrition is reached.

Pot soil to choose loose and breathable, it is best to add a layer of soil to add a layer of fertilizer, spread a layer of anti-insect medicine at the bottom of the basin, fertilizer and medicine store can buy, soil requirements are not high, garden soil can rot soil, and add vermiculite perlite to increase air permeability.

After mixing, put it evenly in the flowerpot and let it be watered later, not too much, just slightly wet. Then put the seed away, the bud point had better go up, and then cover the seed with a layer of soil.

3. Select seedlings

When the seedlings grow up, about ten centimeters or so can be selected, get rid of the weak seedlings, leave two of the most prosperous ones, and two can be left in a flowerpot, otherwise it is not conducive to the later nutrition supply, the small gourd nutrition can not reach, the long one is not good-looking.

It should be noted that when selecting seedlings, you don't have to be reluctant to give up. If you can't bear it, you will have a big plan.

4. Management

Management attention: gourd is like adequate water, infancy and growth period must not be short of water, otherwise the plant does not grow up, the gourd will be less.

The light is given as much as possible, the light reaches, it grows quickly, and some fertilizers are applied at the same time, which is beneficial to the differentiation of flower buds in the later stage, so that there are more small gourds. If there is already fertilizer in the basin soil, then it is appropriate to regulate and control it yourself.

5. Topping

When the small gourd grows to 50 to 100 centimeters, the top bud is pinched off, and the top is a little bigger when pinched. If only a trace is removed, it will continue to grow. After pinching the top, it will divide several branches, just leave two, and get rid of the rest.

Wait for each branch to grow to 40 to 50 centimeters and then hit the top, so that each man divides two branches again, then there is no need to pinch the top, otherwise it will be crazy to differentiate!

Because it is raised in a flowerpot, it is necessary to determine the number of branches and vines according to the size of their own space, which can not be generalized, depending on their own situation.

6. Pollination

Because it is kept on the indoor balcony, no bees and insects pollinate it after flowering, so you have to do it yourself.

Pay attention to: recognize female and male flowers clearly! The connection between the female flower and the branches will vaguely see that there is a small gourd, chicks, see, you will be very excited! There is nothing under the male flower, just a slender flower stem.

Male flowers bloom, timely touch the pollen with cotton sticks, and then gently touch the stamens of female flowers, you can also directly pinch off the male flowers for docking. This intimate contact is essential! Otherwise, the little gourd won't grow.

Enough water and fertilizer, enough light, enough space for vines to crawl, you just sit and wait for the small gourd to be harvested. If you plant it well, each tree can bear dozens of trees. Moreover, it beautifies your balcony, which is very good.

Isn't it interesting to grab a few in one hand?
