Really awesome: the flowers raised by this old man are beautiful

The old man, Ken, was English and loved to grow flowers.

His favorite flower is geranium.

He has a dedicated greenhouse full of geraniums.

Speaking of geraniums, Xiaobian I have seen geraniums, is like this:

It's beautiful already, isn't it?

---------------------

Ken's geranium, on the other hand, looks like this:

Flowers burst pots, can no longer be beautiful.

Britain has many flower related "beauty contest", Ken's works, large and small honor too numerous to mention.

Ken takes care of and prunes these geraniums to make them so beautiful.

After the small editor sincerely worships, I really can't help it. In fact, this kind of god-level pruning technology is not too mysterious and easy to learn, so I must share it with you.

Temperature and ventilation: The temperature difference between day and night is about 10 degrees, so when the temperature is high during the day, it is best to open the window for ventilation, and the temperature at night is not lower than 10 degrees.

Ken thinks ventilation is very important. Most of the time, he will start the big fan in his flower shed to ensure ventilation.

Ken controls the greenhouse temperature so well that his geraniums bloom one crop after another almost all year round.

Ken basically prunes after each flowering.

One is to save space, the other is to lay the foundation for the next flowering, and the third is that the water and nutrients required by the pot soil after pruning are not much, saving management costs.

Ken's haircut:

It is easy to die if you shave your head completely.

Ken's haircut is lighter than our usual, usually 15 cm above the pot, or half the height from the root to the top.

Be sure to keep a bud on each branch (otherwise the branch will rot).

As the climate begins to warm, pruned branches begin to bloom.

Trimming example:

1. Try to cut off the lignified old branches, because the new branches are more vigorous.

2. Retaining a small amount of old leaves can promote new branches and leaves.

3. After the new shoots are grown, remove the old leaves that were previously retained.

5. Once the new shoots have sprouted, repeat the previous pruning steps every few weeks, adjusting the plant type continuously.

6. Plant larger, branches and leaves prosperous, after proper pruning, let it lie flat on the seedbed, favorable lateral branches on both sides of the growth, adjust plant type.

Ken seedling changing techniques:

1. Find an empty pot the same size as the seedling pot, fill it with soil, and place the small pot in the larger pot you want to replace.

Fill the gap between the two pots with soil and compact it.

2. Take out the small pot.

3. Take out the flower seedlings and pot soil, put them into a large pot, and beat the pot soil to make the soil fully contact.

After worshipping the Great God, he felt that he had learned new knowledge and was full of motivation.

It's almost late summer. The pruning time of geranium is coming. Xiao Bian takes a look at Ken's works again. He is ready to go!
