Application of Beer in Flower maintenance

Beer is also very common in the family, for families raising flowers at home, the role of beer is still very large, not only can kill insects, but also can fertilize. The small series will introduce you to the application of beer in the process of flower cultivation.

Poinsettia

After finding the shell worm, you can prepare a bottle of beer, pour some of it into water and mix it with water, the proportion of ∶ wine is 6 ∶ 1, spray the whole plant, spray it as much as possible. Check carefully the next day, if the bug turns reddish brown, it will fall off as soon as it is touched, indicating that the bug is dead. If there's anything alive, spray it again. Generally speaking, after spraying for three days, it can basically kill all the scale insects. After spraying the shell worm with beer, a closed membrane can be formed on its body, causing it to suffocate to death.

In addition, beer is also a good leaf fertilizer, often spraying can make the plant growth exuberant, extra spirit. This proportion is lighter than that of pest control, water ∶ wine is 8 ∶ 1, you might as well give it a try.

A complete Collection of Flower Conservation techniques

To raise potted flowers well, mainly in maintenance and management, should be in line with the habits of flower growth. Novice flower growers either apply too much fertilizer, "burn" the seedlings, or overwater the plants and "drown" the plants. Especially in watering, regardless of the season, climate, basin soil dry and wet and growth stage and other specific conditions flexibly grasp, but must be watered every day, watering a lot, so that the plants are killed. For beginners, wet-loving flowers should be chosen for the first time, such as water bamboo, bamboo evergreen, tortoise-backed bamboo and ferns, which will not be watered to death. Secondly, annual grass flowers can be planted, such as zinnia, impatiens, a bunch of red, half lotus, Cuiju, ornamental chili, etc., these grass flowers are not easy to be watered to death. Of course, these kinds of seedlings may also be watered to death, but it is not a pity that they are just grass flower seedlings, from which experiences and lessons can be summed up. For novice flower growers, because they are not used to it or don't remember, sometimes they forget to water it in summer, which often affects the growth of plants or dies because of drought. To this end, in addition to planting wet flowers, you can also plant some flower species that are both moisture-tolerant and drought-tolerant, such as oleander, Luohansong, silk cotton wood, canna and so on. After having a little experience, we will plant flowers that are easy to grow and easy to manage, such as purple duckweed, winter coral, night cloves, orchid, pomegranate, spring, geranium, four seasons begonia and so on. Only when we have some experience can we cultivate advanced flowers.

13 ways to prolong the life of bottle flower

1. The best time to pick flowers is when the dew is not dry in the morning. After cutting off the flower branches, it is appropriate to soak in warm water immediately to stimulate the fiber tube to open and fully absorb water so as not to dry up.

two。 Cutting flower branches should be carried out in water, which can prevent air from entering the water absorption pores of human branches and affect the effect of water absorption.

3. Cut the flower branches, the more oblique the incision, the better. Thick woody plants such as black pine and rhododendron can also cut the epidermis of about 3 cm at the cut and crack it slightly with a hammer to enhance its water absorption function.

Chrysanthemum, Christmas flowers, orchids and other strong water absorption flowers, flower branches can be longer, weak water absorption flower branches should be short, the closer to the water, the better.

4. Cut off the epidermis of the stem end of the flowers in the vase by about 6mm and apply Vaseline to prolong the flowering period.

5. The cut of the woody flower stem can be burned for several minutes, or put some salt on the cut to prevent the incision from rotting prematurely.

6. If the stem end of the flower branch is soaked in vinegar for a while and then inserted into the bottle, the flowering period can be prolonged. Adding a few drops of vinegar to the vase can make the flowers absorb water easily and keep them alive for a long time. Vinegar also has a germicidal effect.

7. Put an aspirin tablet in the bottle to prolong the life of the flower.

8. Flowers with large ridges and fine flowers are bundled into bundles with waste short branches and then placed in bottles.

9. After the flowers are placed in a bottle, if they are exposed to low light for 1 hour in the morning, it will help to keep the flowers bright.

⑪ should change water frequently, preferably once a day. The water should be changed at night. If you move the vase to an outdoor cool place to absorb dew every night, you can see that the vase will restore its original bright color the next morning.

⑫ if you put some ice in the vase in the middle of summer, you can keep the leaves on the flower branches green.

When changing water in ⑬, the adhesives on the cut of flower branches should be removed.

6 methods of watering flowers and plants

When watering potted flowers, you should master "do not dry, do not water, water as soon as you dry." The principle of "if you don't water it, you water it thoroughly". The specific trick of watering is:

1 ordinary watering method

Water directly from top to bottom (soil) from the basin. This method is simple and easy. However, the disadvantage is that it is easy to make the lower basin soil dry for a long time and cause soil consolidation, which is disadvantageous to the development of the root system, so when using this method, it is necessary to make sure that the water overflows from the drain hole at the bottom of the plate.

two。 Pelvic floor suction method

Put the flowerpot in another large container containing clear water so that the water is wet from the bottom to the surface. The advantage of this method is that it can absorb large water surface, prevent soil consolidation and promote root development, especially for deep-rooted flowers. The disadvantage is that the salt in the basin soil will rise with the water and accumulate on the basin surface and basin edge, causing ugly salt spots. The above two basic watering methods should be used alternately, learn from each other, and the effect is better.

3. Pipe drip irrigation method

Pull the plastic pipe apart and place it around each pot plant that needs to be watered. It is appropriate to be close to the stem of the plant, and then needle one or two small holes in the plastic pipe. The two ends of the pipe are closed. After connecting the water source, the water drips slowly from the small hole to supply the plant water.

4. Rope suction pouring method

When going up or changing the basin, bury a fiberglass rope at the bottom of the flowerpot. One end of the rope is laid flat on the bottom of the basin, and the other end extends from the drain hole. The bottom of the basin is padded with a water tray, and the end of the rope is immersed in water. When the basin soil is dry, as long as the water is injected into the water tray, the water will be automatically carried into the basin with a rope.

5. Sand column watering method

When potting or changing the flowerpot, first erect several hollow tubes in the empty pot, which can be bamboo tubes, glass tubes or metal tubes, then fill the tubes with coarse sand, then pull out the empty tubes, and sand columns are formed in the basin soil. The diameter of the sand column depends on the size of the basin. In the future, it is only necessary to water the sand column to make the water spread evenly to the surrounding basin soil through the sand column, which can avoid soil consolidation and is beneficial to the growth of branches and plants.

6. No-one watering method at home

People who love to grow flowers, because they go out to visit or do business for ten and a half days, no one is at home to water the flowers. At this time, you can fill a plastic bag with water, stab a hole in the bottom of the bag with a needle, and put it in a flowerpot. The small hole is attached to the soil, and the water will slowly ooze out to moisten the soil. The size of the hole should be properly controlled to avoid water leakage too quickly. Or put a vessel filled with cold water next to the flowerpot, find a wide cloth strip with good water absorption, put it in the water at one end and bury it in the pot soil at the other end. In this way, the soil can remain moist for at least half a month or so, and the flowers will not die.

Skillfully use five kinds of water to water flowers

1 residual tea watering flowers

Residual tea is used to water flowers, which can not only maintain soil moisture, but also add nitrogen and other nutrients to plants. However, according to the humidity of the flowerpot, it should be watered regularly and appropriately, not along with the residual tea.

2. Water the flowers with spoiled milk

After the milk has gone bad, water is added to water the flowers, which is beneficial to the growth of flowers and trees. But there should be more water, so it is better to make it scarce. Unfermented milk is not suitable for watering flowers because it produces a lot of heat during fermentation and will "burn" roots (rotten roots).

3. Water the flowers with cold boiled water

Watering the flowers with cold boiled water can make the flowers and trees luxuriant and colorful, and promote their early flowering. If it is used to water asparagus, it can make its branches and leaves develop horizontally, short and dense.

4. Water the flowers with water.

When the weather is cold and the water is cool in winter, it is appropriate to water the flowers with warm water. It is best to put the water indoors and water it when it is close to room temperature. It would be better to water the water when the temperature reaches 35 degrees Celsius.

5. Wash rice and water the flowers

Often use Amoy rice water to water Milan and other flowers, can make its branches and leaves luxuriant, flowers and colors bright.

Grow flowers with beer

1. Flower arrangement: when arranging flowers, as long as a little beer is poured into the vase, the color and fragrance of the arrangement can be prolonged by 15 to 20 days than usual.

two。 Potted flowers:

(1) wipe leaves with beer: where foliage flowers, skimmed cotton or clean soft cloth can be dipped in beer and gently wipe leaves. It can not only remove dust and sterilize, but also play the role of foliar fertilization, which can make the leaves greener and brighter, and the texture of the leaves is also thicker.

(2) spraying leaves with beer: after mixing water and beer at 1:1, spraying small leaves such as asparagus, hanging orchid, umbrella bamboo, begonia and geranium with a fine-eyed spray can get the same good effect of wiping leaves with beer.

(3) use beer to water flowers. Beer is an excellent aromatic fertilizer. Watering flowers with beer not only has good nutrition, but also absorbs nutrients quickly.

Sponge regulates the moisture of potted flowers and plants

Cut the sponge to the same size as the flowerpot and put it on the bottom of the mud when planting flowers, which is of great benefit to your flowers and plants, because it will absorb the excess water in the pot; when the soil is dry, the soil itself will absorb the water in the sponge.

Notes on growing flowers and changing pots

The old flowerpot due to long-term watering, fertilization, the tiny stomata on the pot wall are closed, flowers can not get fresh air, will die because of poor growth. Therefore, most potted flowers and trees need to change pots once a year, while bamboo and fir, which need more nutrients, need to change pots twice a year. Generally speaking, most deciduous tree species change their pots in early spring; evergreen species, such as June snow, tiger thorn, gazelle, etc., should change pots in summer; Luohan pine, cypress. Any season except in the depths of winter. Bamboos that change pots twice a year are usually in May and September, while Cunninghamia lanceolata should be in March and October. When changing the basin, you should first gently lift the plant from the basin, remove half of the old soil, cut off the rotten roots and overlong roots, put the plant back into the basin, and then fill the newly prepared soil with proper watering. It should be noted that the drainage hole at the bottom of the basin should be clasped with tiles before the plant basin, and be properly bottomed with gravel.

Two methods of soil disinfection in spring

Many diseases, such as anthracnose, black spot, brown spot, gray mold, blight and so on, overwintered in the soil as mycelia or sclerotia. Methods of soil disinfection:

1. Medicament disinfection

Formaldehyde and pentachloronitrobenzene can be used to kill bacteria. Formaldehyde, also known as formalin, has strong bactericidal power. At the same time, every 50 grams of water 2-2.5 kg, can be sprayed 15-20 cm thick soil 1 square meter. Spray evenly. After spraying, cover strictly with plastic sheet, fumigate for four or five days, then remove the plastic sheet, turn the soil, make it dispel the smell of medicine, and flowers can be planted after 15 days. Dibromine and chloropropane should be used to kill nematodes. When in use, burn 10 grams of oil with 80% dibromopropyl per square meter, 3 kg of water, spray it evenly on the soil and cover it with plastic sheeting immediately. Remove the plastic sheet and turn over the soil after six or seven days. It takes about 15 days to grow flowers.

two。 High temperature extinction

The easiest methods are burning and stir-frying. The method of burning soil is to spread the soil flat on the ground, with a thickness of about 30 centimeters, and stack firewood and grass on it for more than 20 minutes. The method of stir-frying is to stir-fry the soil in a broken iron pan, keeping the temperature above 90 degrees Celsius and stir-frying for 20-30 minutes.

Different balcony positions are suitable for planting flower species.

The balcony in the south and southwest has long light time and high temperature, so it is suitable to put flowers and trees that like sunshine and heat resistance, such as jasmine, Michelia, pine, cypress, cactus, etc.; orchids, camellias, rhododendrons, roses, orchids and other good shade or fear of heat, should be moved to the north or east balcony to avoid excessive sun exposure.

Summer care of orchid, Gaoyu plum, rose, Milan and cactus plants

1. Orchid

Summer is the peak growing season of orchids, so it is necessary to ensure the water and nutrients needed for growth.

two。 High temperature plum

Anthrax is easy to occur. In addition to improving ventilation and light transmission, topiramate can be sprayed once every 10 days when the disease occurs.

3. Rose

Like fertilizer and water, it is necessary to ensure an adequate supply of water and fertilizer. Apply rotten bean cake water or fish fertilizer water once every half month. Fertilization will be stopped in mid-July. Powdery mildew is easy to occur in summer. Spray with Bordeaux solution or carbendazim once a month for 2 ~ 3 times.

4 Milan

I like light and heat. It grows vigorously in summer. Before and after flowering, thin water was applied every 10 days. Stop fertilizing when the temperature exceeds 30 degrees Celsius. To ensure the supply of water, often spray water to the leaves to prevent falling flowers and buds.

5 cacti

Although drought tolerance is extremely strong, there is still a risk of burns when the temperature exceeds 38 degrees Celsius. Do not apply fertilizer and spray water to cool down in high temperature season.

Key points of fertilization for potted flowers in autumn

Most potted flowers are in a vigorous period in autumn, so the nutrients needed for potted flowers must be guaranteed to meet the growth needs. Topdressing should be treated differently according to the growth status of potted flowers. Under normal circumstances, the mature rarefied liquid fertilizer is applied every 10 days. For potted flowers that bloom in autumn, such as sweet-scented osmanthus, chrysanthemum and dahlia, we should apply less nitrogen fertilizer and more potassium fertilizer to promote them to blossom and flourish.

Key points of pruning potted flowers in autumn

There are many buds of potted flowers born in autumn, which can not be allowed to develop completely. Except for some of them to be retained, all the others should be picked to avoid wasting nutrients. When pruning, the retained branches should be treated with leaves and buds. The plants with strong growth should be cut heavily, and those with weak growth should be cut lightly. For potted flowers with buds in summer and autumn, such as plum blossom, wax plum, rhododendron, etc., in order to protect the formed branches, it is not suitable for re-pruning, pruning can be carried out.

Foliage plants survive the winter skillfully indoors

Foliage plants are mostly found in tropical and subtropical regions, and their growth temperature should be kept at 25 ~ 30 degrees Celsius. In areas with obvious changes in the four seasons, plants often freeze to death or wither because of low temperatures in cold seasons. Therefore, in order for foliage plants to survive the winter smoothly in these areas, attention should be paid to:

1. Cultivate adaptability

If you put it indoors, let foliage plants come into full contact with the low temperature climate in early autumn, in order to enhance the cold resistance, you can gradually adapt to the low temperature environment. Therefore, from early autumn to late autumn, plants should be fully exposed to the decreasing temperature.

two。 Water quantity

As the temperature drops, plants grow slowly and almost stop growing in the cold season. At this time, the watering times of basin soil should be reduced. The standard of watering in winter is that the surface of basin soil is dried for 2 ~ 3 days and then watered again. But in a room that has heating and can maintain a certain temperature, you should still pay attention to watering at all times.

3. Indoor humidity and temperature

When winter comes, foliage plants that move indoors, especially those in heated rooms, should often be sprayed with foggy water to improve air humidity. The temperature difference between day and night in the room should be as small as possible, the lowest indoor temperature at dawn should not be less than 5 ~ 8 degrees Celsius, and it should reach 1-20 degrees Celsius during the day. If you can meet the above requirements, you can generally survive the winter smoothly. In addition, in the same room, there will also be a temperature difference between the upper and lower spaces of the house, so plants with weak cold resistance can be placed on bookshelves and other places. Foliage plants placed on the windowsill are most vulnerable to cold wind, so it is appropriate to use thick curtains.

4. Light

The sun shines obliquely in winter, and the light intensity is half that in summer. Some sunny foliage plants should be placed near the sunny south window. Ornamental plants that have been placed indoors and in the shade for too long should not be suddenly placed in outdoor direct light so as not to cause leaf burns.

Matters needing attention in indoor culture of flowers and plants common matters needing attention in flower culture

Flowers are a kind of plants that people like very much in their daily life, and they have always attracted much attention. Next, let's take a look at the matters needing attention in flower culture. Through the study of flower knowledge, we can better apply it to real life.

Matters needing attention in the maintenance of flower bonsai

First, avoid drought. When I think of watering, I don't water it if I don't remember it. Sometimes I don't care for several days in a row. Once the leaves are found to be wilting, they quickly replenish the water, and the leaves return to normal. This is a reaction of the pile body to adapt to the environment, but for a long time, excessive transpiration will eventually make the pile body "sick" difficult to recover, dehydration and death.

Second, avoid fertilizing. Due to the high temperature in midsummer and the rapid loss of water on the leaf surface, fertilization can make the concentration of pile cells less than that of the external environment, resulting in the reverse flow of water in plant cells and the death of piles due to fertilizer damage.

Avoid taking a bath in the afternoon. Do not spray water to the pile under the light or water into the basin at noon in hot summer, this kind of "pet" way will make the bonsai temperature suddenly lower than the ambient temperature and hurt the pile.

Fourth, avoid sudden shade. In general, in order to avoid high temperature injury, when the ambient temperature exceeds the maximum temperature tolerated by the pile, the bonsai should be moved to a relatively low temperature area with weak light (about 2 degrees) to facilitate the growth of the pile, but if it is suddenly moved into the indoor or low temperature area without light, within a few days, the leaves will fall off naturally, and the pile will quickly shrink and die.

Fifth, avoid water stains. When the ambient temperature exceeds 28 degrees, the bonsai should be protected by shade, otherwise, the amount of water obtained by the pile from the soil is much lower than that lost by transpiration, the leaf edge will be burned and scorched, and the pile will die from sunburn.

Matters needing attention in indoor culture of flowers and plants

Temperature: adjust according to different flowers

In the northern region, the winter climate is cold and the temperature is low. Generally, flowers in the south need to move indoors to survive the winter, and adjust the appropriate temperature according to the requirements of different flowers. Flowers that like high temperature, such as Milan, poinsettia, African impatiens, begonia and fairy ball fleshy flowers, should try to put the flowerpot on the indoor windowsill with plenty of sunshine and high temperature (between 20 ℃ and 25 ℃), the lowest temperature should not be lower than 10 ℃. For flowers that like medium temperature, the suitable temperature in winter is 18 ℃ to 22 ℃, and the lowest temperature should not be lower than 6 ℃. For flowers that like low temperature, the winter temperature should be kept between 12 ℃ and 15 ℃, and the lowest temperature should not be lower than 2 ℃. Aquatic flowers, such as lotus, water lilies, water hyacinth, Pingpeng lilies, etc., should be discharged before frost, the flowerpot should be moved to the cellar or corridor hall, the temperature should be kept at 5 ℃, and the pot soil should be sprayed properly when it is dry.

In addition, flowers that bloom in winter and spring and flowers that are sexually fond of light and warmth should be placed on the windowsill or near the windowsill where the sun is sufficient. Evergreen flowers and trees that like sunlight but can withstand low temperatures or flowers that are dormant can be placed in a cool place with scattered light. Generally speaking, flowers that are not strict with light can be placed in a cool place without light. Fertilization: try to reduce or stop the dormancy of most flowers in winter, so try to reduce fertilization or stop fertilization. Indoor flowers that are not dormant in winter, such as evergreen flowers, such as tiger tail orchid, fish tail sunflower, brown bamboo, green pineapple, basically have no requirement for fertilizer when the room temperature is about 5 ℃, so there is no need for topdressing, if the temperature is low, fertilization is prone to root rot. The main reason is that the plant root system grows slowly in winter, and the fertilizer applied can not be absorbed by the root system, but will hinder the normal absorption of the root, and the root will rot when it is serious.

If the room temperature is higher (more than 20 ℃) and the flowers bloom in winter, it is necessary to apply dilute organic liquid fertilizer every half a month, or a small amount of compound fertilizer. When raising potted flowers in the family, it is best to use non-odor-free "Flower Fat tablets" or fermented rice water to prevent fat flavor from polluting the indoor environment.

Watering: never water flowers directly with tap water

Due to low temperature in winter, water for watering flowers should be stored or dried with utensils, and must not be watered directly with tap water to prevent excessive temperature difference and damage to the root system. Because the temperature continues to decline in winter, the metabolism of flowers is slow, or enter a dormant state, general potted flowers should strictly control fertilizer and water. If the pot soil is not too dry, do not water, especially shade-resistant flowers, but also to avoid excessive watering caused by rotten roots and leaves. The general watering time should be around noon. For some evergreen flowers that like shade and dampness, you should often spray the leaves with water close to room temperature to clean and remove dust to facilitate photosynthesis.

Pest control: pay attention to ventilation indoors

Due to poor indoor ventilation in winter, some flowers often have powdery mildew, soot disease, aphids, red spiders and other diseases and insect pests. Diseases can be sprayed with 0.1% carbendazim or topiramate, and pests can be sprayed with 0.2% dimethoate or insecticides. When spraying pesticides, it is best to move the flowerpot outdoors, or you can bury insecticidal tablets in the soil. In addition, the indoor should pay attention to ventilation, the whole winter should be in sunny weather at noon to open windows for ventilation, in order to reduce the occurrence of diseases and insect pests, but also conducive to the robust growth of flowers.

Matters needing attention in common flower culture

1. Cuckoos like cool ventilation, avoid low temperature and extreme heat, like semi-shade, avoid scorching sun, like dampness, avoid boredom, like acid soil, avoid alkaline soil, like loose hairy soil with good drainage, avoid stagnant water; if the drainage is good, the water can be larger, and the leaves should often spray water.

2. Little orchids like warmth and are afraid of cold; they like semi-shady environments and avoid hot sunlight; they like rotten leaf soil with good drainage and avoid stagnant water; when clamping arrows, the temperature difference in the color sky should be adjusted to 7 / 10 degrees and pour some beer. When the basin soil is dry, the leaves can not be sprayed with water, the leaves are easy to rot, and the leaves can be wiped with wet wipes. The little orchid blossoms only when the leaf vein reaches more than 20.

3. Camellia is a negative flower. Require shade of about 50%, grow well in the shade, afraid of sun exposure, if direct exposure by the sun, young leaves are easy to burn, the formation of growth health, affecting flowering. Like cool and humid in winter, warm and environment in summer, the normal growth temperature is 25 degrees, flowers and leaves should be sprayed with water frequently. Fear of drought, avoid stagnant water. The slightly acidic sandy soil with good drainage will grow well and will gradually die in the alkaline or stagnant soil.

4. Poinsettias like warm and humid environment, not cold-resistant; like sufficient light, not resistant to shade; lax requirements on soil quality, but like fat, loose and drained slightly sour soil.

The above is the relevant introduction of this article, I believe you have a simple understanding of this after reading it, if necessary, you can continue to pay attention to the No. 1 home network to learn more information.
