Matters needing attention in daily maintenance of hundred-day grass

Zinnia grow strong, artificial cultivation is not difficult, appropriate in fertile deep soil growth. Zinnia originated in Mexico and is widely cultivated throughout our country. It is a very famous horticultural flower variety. How can we raise healthy and beautiful zinnia?

Hundred-day grass

I. Water and fertilizer management

2Mel 3g compound fertilizer was applied to the bottom of the basin during planting, and after planting, the root was irrigated with 800 times solution of dimethylisone for disinfection. The basin soil should be kept moist within one week of planting to promote the growth of the surface root system, and topdressing can be started when the root system grows to the bottom of the basin. Fertilizer is applied twice a week (water fertilizer is applied in sunny days, the concentration is controlled within 200mg/kg, and grain fertilizer is applied in rainy days), and calcium fertilizer can be applied once. After 1 week of planting, the heart can be removed, and after heart removal, fungicides can be sprayed once and heavy fertilizer once. In the reproductive stage about two weeks after the last heart extraction, phosphorus and potassium fertilizer can be gradually increased, such as spraying 1000 times of potassium dihydrogen phosphate solution to promote more flowers and colorful flowers, and correspondingly reduce the amount of nitrogen fertilizer. During this period, adequate amount of water should be ensured, and water in the morning is better than in the afternoon. Rapid drying of leaves can prevent diseases and overgrowth.

Second, temperature and light

Hundred-day grass likes to be warm and sunny, can not bear the heat, high temperature and cold, the suitable growth temperature is 18 ℃ 20 ℃ during the day and 15 ℃ at night. It grows especially fast in summer. Can be directly used in full sunlight, direct sunlight. If there is not enough sunshine, the plant is easy to grow, the resistance is also weak, and flowering will also be affected.

Introduction of planting methods of zinnia and matters needing attention in planting

Zinnia, a famous ornamental plant, is favored by flower friends. So what is the planting method of zinnia? What problems should be paid attention to in daily maintenance? Come and learn from the editor.

The culture method of zinnia

Water and fertilizer management

Watering: due to the high demand for light, the water is easy to evaporate, so it is necessary to maintain proper humidity and can be watered every day in summer.

Fertilization: 2-3 grams of compound fertilizer was applied to the bottom of the basin during planting, and 800 times solution was used to disinfect the roots after planting. The basin soil should be kept moist within one week of planting to promote the growth of the surface root system. When the root system grows to the bottom of the basin, topdressing can be started, fertilizing 2-3 times a week (applying water fertilizer in sunny days, the concentration of 200mg/kg is controlled within 2-3 g / basin in rainy days), and calcium fertilizer can be added once.

Temperature and light

Temperature: hundred-day grass likes to warm to the sun, can not bear the heat, high temperature and cold, the suitable temperature for growth is 18-20 ℃ during the day and 15-16 ℃ at night. It grows especially fast in summer.

Lighting: can be directly used in full sunlight, direct sunlight. If there is not enough sunshine, the plant is easy to grow, the resistance is also weak, and flowering will also be affected.

Matters needing attention in hundred-day grass domestic upbringing

Plant stereotyping

If the zinnia is not treated with coring, there are too few lateral branches and few flowers. Proper coring can promote the dwarfing of the plant and the increase of flowers. When the seedlings grow to 4 leaves, plant and pick the heart to promote the growth of lower branches to form a better plant shape.

After a week of planting, we began to pick the heart, leaving 4 pairs of true leaves, and depending on the growth and branching of the plant, we decided whether to pick the heart again or not. During flowering, phosphate and potassium fertilizers such as potassium dihydrogen phosphate continue to be added to promote the flower head to grow continuously. After the flowers withered, the withered flower heads should be cut off in time to reduce nutrient loss.

Pest control

Common diseases of zinnia: White spot, black spot, mosaic disease

The hundred-day grass still needs to be prevented from growing. The seedling growth period of zinnia is very easy to grow. Pay attention to lowering Wendy, picking the heart, and watering less.

That's all I know about zinnia today. I hope it will be helpful for flower friends to read this article. If you want to know more about zinnia, please continue to pay attention to the succulent flower bed, we will provide you with more related knowledge!

Key points of autumn maintenance of courtyard flowers

Key points of autumn maintenance of courtyard flowers

(1) the characteristics of autumn climate according to Chinese traditional customs, around August 8 of the Gregorian calendar is the day of the Chinese lunar calendar "the Beginning of Autumn", that is to say, it is "autumn" from this day to the first ten days of November before "the Beginning of Winter".

In East China, the average daily temperature in autumn is between 10 and 22 degrees Celsius, which is favorable for plant growth. But autumn is also a transitional season from summer to winter, and the temperature changes greatly. In early autumn, the lowest temperature is still above 30T, even reaching 35 degrees Celsius, while in late autumn, the lowest temperature is below 0 degrees Celsius.

In this season, the warm and humid southeast wind from the Pacific Ocean will gradually be replaced by the cold and dry northwest wind from the northwest plateau. When the northwest wind forms and breaks down to the south, the surface atmosphere is controlled by cold air and the upper layer is controlled by subtropical air, resulting in a crisp autumn.

Autumn is also an important turning period for plant growth, many herbaceous flowers have passed their flowering period, their seeds are mature and their life cycle is over, so they need to collect and sow seeds in order to prepare for the next life cycle. Perennial flowers and trees begin to slow down or stop growing, and some trees begin to shed their leaves and are about to enter a dormant period to spend the cold winter. And another part of winter flowers that are dormant in summer, such as cyclamen, primroses, calla lilies, etc., begin to wake up and enter a new period of growth, water and fertilizer must keep up.

(2) Daily management of flowers in autumn

① management method: in autumn, for Ding Hua people, in addition to continuing the regular management of watering and fertilization in summer, there are many "special" things to do with climate change.

Early autumn: the high temperature in summer has not completely receded at this time, especially the high temperature at noon, which is still a threat to flowers and trees. Therefore, the curtain of summer shade can not be removed in a hurry, only need to open the curtain sooner or later to penetrate light and air, and still need shade the rest of the time. Special attention should be given to some flowers.

For orchids, to maintain a moist and cool environment, it is best to spray water 2-3 times a day, spray water in the form of fog, until the leaves are wet. More water should be sprinkled on the balcony, ground or bunker to promote its cooling and prevent the threat of "autumn tigers".

The lotus is planted in a vat in summer. Although the lotus is gone, it should still have enough water and light. The lotus canopy can be picked as soon as it is ripe, so that the lotus root can continue to grow and ensure that the flowers will bloom in the coming year.

Kumquat fruit in winter, when blooming for the third time, do not let Rain Water pour directly on the flowers to ensure the fruit setting rate.

The flower buds of rhododendrons are differentiating, so it is necessary to reduce the amount of water and apply phosphate fertilizer to prove that spring flowers are blooming.

Cyclamen and adult gentleman orchids can turn the basin and change the soil to ensure that the basin soil is loose and nutritious, and prevent dumb flowers or arrows.

After a summer of continuous growth and flowering, the balcony pride geranium also needs to turn the basin to change the soil, and needs to be pruned and reshaped. Pruning, that is, cutting off the flower branches, leaving only about 10 meters high in the root to promote its germination of new branches and keep the plant shape strong and beautiful. Do not water and fertilize within 1 week after pruning to prevent knife edge infection.

Chrysanthemums beat the head for the last time and apply more topdressing until the flower buds differentiate.

Mid-autumn: at this time the sun is getting weaker, the heat has disappeared, and the temperature has dropped obviously. for flowers and trees with summer shade, it is necessary to gradually reduce the shading time or remove the curtains.

With the decrease of temperature and the weakening of sunlight, the water and fertilizer consumption of general flowers and trees decreases correspondingly. The times of watering can be changed from twice a day in summer to once a day or once a day, and the times of fertilization can also be changed from twice a week to once a week.

At the same time, special attention should be paid to the following:

First, after the camellia bud, apply phosphate fertilizer once to ensure the bright flowering of the following year.

Second, after calla lilies dormant, new leaves are growing, watering should be paid special attention, do not pour human leaf sheath, in order to prevent decay.

Third, the "New year's good fruit" kumquat should be fertilized frequently, and the fertilizer should be mixed with rotten bean cake water and bone water or turtle belly intestines to ensure that the water is full and fruitful.

Fourth, the beginning of September is the appropriate time for artificial hybridization of Dahlia, and artificial pollination should be carried out in time.

Fifth, sparrow plum, elm, park and other stump bonsai, is an important opportunity for modeling, plastic surgery, can pick leaves climbing, thin fertilizer, promote new leaves, leaves are neat, and then trimmed into pieces.

Late autumn: Cold Dew around October 8, Frosts Descent around 24, the sunshine is getting shorter, the autumn color appears, and the average daily temperature is 10 degrees Celsius. A H cold wave is coming, the temperature at night can be below 0 degrees Celsius, there is frost or frost. At this time, be sure to pay attention to the weather forecast at any time, and do a good job of entering the house and preventing cold in time.

Late autumn need to master the time to enter the room, will be placed on the balcony or open field flowers and trees moved to the indoor winter, commonly known as "entering the room". Whether the time of entering the room is accurate or not has a lot to do with the safety of flowers and trees in the winter. If you enter the room too early, the indoor temperature is too cold; if you enter the room too late, the flowers and trees will suffer cold damage, or even freeze to death. Therefore, for the florist to enter the house "is also a major event, not carelessly." Entering the room should be carried out in batches according to the different temperature requirements of different kinds of flowers and trees.

Milan, rich bamboo, Brazilian wood, plantain, variable leaf trees and other tropical flowers and trees, commonly known as high-temperature flowers and trees, cold resistance is the worst, the general room temperature below 10 degrees Celsius is vulnerable to cold damage, light leaves, flowers, fruit and Hu shoot, heavy death. Therefore, this kind of flowers and trees had better be put into greenhouse foster care before winter. If it is impossible for foster care, the temperature should be below 10 degrees Celsius. Before moving into the room, placed in a warm sunny place, sunny noon window ventilation, cold spell, the use of pots, plastic bags and other heat preservation measures, the coldest, the need to adopt heating measures.

Carnation, orchid, asparagus, jasmine and cactus, commonly known as medium-temperature flowers and trees, are difficult to resist the low temperature below 51. Therefore, when the minimum temperature at night is 5 degrees Celsius, it is necessary to move into the house. When the weather is too cold, it still needs bagging protection.

Camellia, rhododendron, orchid, cycad, Michelia, etc., cold resistance is better, if there is no frost or rain and snow, do not rush into the room. However, if the low temperature is below 0, it is necessary to move into the room and put it in the room facing south, which can generally survive the winter safely.

Five-needle pine, Luohan pine, begonia, rose and so on, commonly known as low-temperature flowers and trees, cold resistance is better, generally do not have to enter the room, just put it in a warm and sunny place outside. In case of severe frost or rain and snow, you can build a grass curtain temporarily to protect it.

The management of flowers and trees after entering the room is also very important. After the flowers and trees enter the house, the water consumption will be reduced. Generally, the small pots will be watered once a week, and the larger flowerpots will be watered once every 1-2 weeks. If the basin soil is not very dry, the watering cycle can be prolonged. In addition to flowers and plants that bloom in winter, such as Hewang orchid, cyclamen, and gentleman orchid, it is necessary to ensure adequate water, fertilizer and increase the application of phosphate fertilizer, but also pay attention to diligent fertilizer and sufficient water for autumn sowing grass flowers that bloom in early spring. As for the flowers and trees that generally enter the house to avoid the cold, it is only necessary to apply fertilizer once a month or simply stop fertilizing, so as to avoid excessive fertilizer, resulting in excessive growth of flowers and trees and reducing the ability of cold resistance.

October is the best time for spring orchids to transplant or divide pots, and orchids should not miss this opportunity. At this time, the growth of orchids is relatively weak, and if the flower buds are not hurt during operation, it will not affect flowering in the coming year. For ramet convenience, watering can be controlled a few days before the ramet, so that the pot ten is properly dried, so that the root is white and soft, so that when transplanting or ramet, the root is not easy to break. But not too dry, too dry r, it is also disadvantageous to the growth of orchids.

② autumn harvest and autumn seed: autumn is also the season for breeding seedlings. As the saying goes, spring flowers and autumn sowing, melon and leaf chrysanthemum, cyclamen, pansy, Yu Mei, and a large number of seasonal flowers need to be sowed at this time, and the management of the seedling stage needs to be done well.

As the saying goes, to plant good seedlings, sowing must start from the harvest. How can we get the best seeds? Generally speaking, when flowers and trees are in full bloom, the climate is suitable and the nutrients are sufficient, the quality of the seeds will naturally be better, so the accurate harvest time is Article 1. Of course, even if the same batch of seeds, there will be individual differences. The amount of seeds used for raising flowers in the family will not be too large, so we can use the method of grain selection to leave behind those seeds that are well developed, regular in shape, full and full.

According to the ripening time of different seeds, we can harvest the following seeds in different seasons.

Seed harvesting: in early autumn, the seeds that can be harvested are peony, purslane, Baiji grass, iris, bauhinia, hemp leaf hydrangea, pineapple, lily, mimosa, Centella asiatica, sleeping lotus, chamomile, lotus. In mid-autumn, the seeds that can be harvested are petunia, morning glory, Platycodon grandiflorum, zinnia, drunken butterfly, iris, peony, peony, mallow, wild goose to red, yellow okra, a little red, wheat stem chrysanthemum, periwinkle, cockscomb, mimosa, canna, Shandan, cut Qiuluo. In late autumn, the seeds that can be harvested are morning glory, Persian chrysanthemum, sunflower, hairpin, marigold, a bunch of red, purple jasmine, magnolia, Lingling, wisteria, sea immortal, camellia, crape myrtle, golden melon, five-colored pepper, emerald chrysanthemum, Lycoris, torch flower, autumn peony, weight tree, dogwood, Chinese wolfberry.

The lifespan of different seeds varies greatly, and some need to be stored for a period of time and fully dormant before they can germinate, such as the scale hammer tree. Some need to harvest along with the seed, otherwise it will reduce its germination rate, such as peony, peony seeds, immediately after harvest to sow or sand seeds. For example, the seeds of water lilies must be hidden in water. The seeds of general flowers and trees are harvested and dried, put in small paper bags or cloth bags, stored at the top of the cupboard or in drawers, and then taken out and used when sowing.

Sowing: in early autumn, suitable flowers and trees are peony, primrose, melon and leaf 'cold chrysanthemum, hollyhock, carnation, calendula, pansy, daisy, goldfish grass, bluebell grass, Violet. Orchid, osmanthus bamboo incense. In mid-autumn, flowers and trees suitable for sowing are Hosta, Platycodon grandiflorum, Cuiju and Yagi.

Car chrysanthemum, marigold, hollyhock, anemone, violet, petunia, goldfish grass, primrose, golden lotus, beauty, pansy, melon and leaf chrysanthemum, cyclamen. In late autumn, the sowing of biennial plants should be over, and a small number of perennial woody or bulbous flowers, such as Xianke, Lai, Phyllostachys pubescens and so on, can be sown in pots.

Sowing in autumn can be divided into two methods: open sowing and indoor sowing. It is generally suitable for grass flowers with strong cold tolerance, such as daisy, Yu beauty, calendula, pansy and so on. Sowing in the open field is the same as sowing in spring. For primroses, cyclamen, magnolia and other flowers with poor cold tolerance, sowing in slaughter. Indoor sowing utensils can be used with sowing boxes or pots. The general special sowing box is nailed with wooden strips, which is about 10 centimeters high and 40 centimeters long and 60 centimeters wide. If there is a package of the right size at home, it can also be replaced. The sowing pot is a kind of tile basin with a diameter of 30 cm, a height of 10 cm and many round holes at the bottom (available in the flower market). The specific steps of sowing are as follows:

The first step is to cover the round hole in the basin floor with broken tiles and cover the bottom with a layer of broken tiles (smashing the broken tile basin into large beans) or coal flooding and charcoal shavings, which are 3-4% thick to facilitate drainage.

In the second step, fill the upper part with sterilized culture soil (usually made of 3 parts of humus, 1 part of garden soil and 1 part of sand), fill it up to I cm from the mouth of the basin, and gently pat it flat with a pressing plate.

Step 3, sow the seeds on the ground. The sowing method depends on the size of the seeds, such as primroses, which can be mixed with some culture soil and sprinkled evenly. Larger seeds, such as gentleman orchid and cyclamen, can be placed one by one at a distance of 1 to 2 centimeters, with a slight press during placement, so that half of the seeds enter the soil and half are exposed, and then cover the seeds with a fine sieve (waste window screens can be used in the family)-a layer of quartz sand.

Step 4, take an ordinary plastic basin to fill half a basin of water, put the sowing basin into the water, let the water slowly seep into the basin from the bottom pores, until the surface is all wet, that is, end out, put it in the balcony ventilated shady place, covered with glass, heat preservation and moisturizing. Pay attention to turning the glass of the cover every day to evaporate the condensed water on its surface, and leave a little gap to let the basin soil breathe. If the pot soil is dry, spray a little water, and after the seedlings grow, gradually remove the glass cover, and then gradually move to the place where there is plenty of sunshine (note that it should not be placed under the strong sun at once, otherwise it will be sunburned). According to the dry and wet condition of the basin soil, water it with a fine spray pot in time. After the true leaves are released from the seedlings, the seedlings that are too dense and do not grow well should be gently removed with a thin bamboo stick, leaving a good seedling that is strong and well-known. When the seedlings release 3-4 true leaves, they should be transplanted into the pot.

There is a special oven for disinfecting the cultivated soil. In the family, you can buy sterilized culture soil in bags; you can also spread the soil evenly on the roof cement floor for 1-2 days on a sunny day; or put it in an iron pan and stir-fry for half an hour; you can also use 0. 5%. Spray 5% potassium permanganate water with soil, then cover it with plastic film for half a day, remove the plastic film, and then use it again in a week. When sowing, in order to prevent dust, you can first spray the least water into the cultivated soil to make it slightly moist, but the water must not be too much, otherwise the soil hair will be sticky and difficult to operate.

Most grass flower seeds can be sown directly without any treatment before sowing. However, the shell of some seeds is thick and hard or waxy, such as cyclamen, it is best to carry out pre-sowing treatment to promote its germination and sterilization. The method of treatment is to soak the seeds with thick seed coat, and the soaked water can be soaked in warm water (the water temperature is about 60 degrees Celsius). The soaking time is generally 24 hours, and more water should be sprayed after sowing to keep it moist. In addition, for seeds with hard shells, such as lotus, one end of the shell can be broken with a file, and then soaked. For seeds purchased from other places, in order to prevent the spread of germs infected on the seeds locally, 0. 5% should be used. 5% potassium permanganate or 0. Soak in 3% copper sulfate solution for 5 minutes, then remove and rinse with clean water before sowing.

Some grass flowers, such as primroses, lotus flowers, melon and leaf chrysanthemum, need to be transplanted after sowing. However, some of them are not suitable for transplanting, such as Yu Mei Ren, Huacheng Grass, and so on. These flowers and trees have too delicate roots and are prone to poor growth after transplanting, so they should be planted in a small pot with a diameter of 13 cm at the beginning of the true leaves of the seedlings, and then take off the pot after a little larger, or use the method of direct seeding.

(3) the prevention and control of flower diseases and insect pests in autumn is warm and dry in autumn, which is the season with high incidence of flower spot disease and powdery mildew.

Spot disease is caused by fungi, including black spot, brown spot and red spot, which often occur in leaves and fruits. In the early stage of the disease, round patches of different sizes appeared on the leaves or fruits, faded to yellow, and there was a clear outline on the outer edge. Mildew layer or small black spots often appear on the spots, and the disease part is necrotic in the later stage.

Powdery mildew is also caused by powdery mildew in fungi, which often occurs on leaves, young fruits and young branches. The disease spot is almost round, and a thin layer of powder appears on it. In the later stage, there are many needle-sized yellow-brown particles scattered on the layer of powder. After removing the white powder layer, the yellow spot disease of the injured plant tissue can be seen. Rose and dahlias are easy to suffer from this disease.

The fundamental way to prevent and cure the above diseases is to pay attention to hygiene, thoroughly remove the source of the disease, and remove the dead branches and leaves inside and outside the flowerpot, balcony and courtyard at any time. If you plant a large number of flowers, you can use 50% carbendazim wettable powder 500 ~ 1000 times liquid spray disinfection. Families who plant peony, peony, chrysanthemum and carnation can also spray 120-160 times the same amount of Bordeaux every 10 days to prevent peony red spot, carnation leaf spot and chrysanthemum brown spot.

In addition, it is also an effective way to apply more phosphorus and potassium fertilizer to flowers and trees to enhance disease resistance. At the same time, aphids, red spiders, whitefly and other insect pests are also easy to occur at this time, and should be checked one by one. If you find it, catch it carefully with your hand immediately. When in large quantities, spray dimethoate and omethoate to kill.

Before flowers and trees enter the room in late autumn, they should be checked basin by pot and branch by branch. If there are shell worm eggs on the branches, scrape them off with bamboo slices immediately. Aphids are large and easy to find, while the red tarantula is very small and mostly on the back of the leaves, which is not easy to detect. Therefore, the dorsal side of the leaf should be checked one by one. If you find a small white spot, spray it with dimethoate immediately, or use a tobacco extract (about 20 cigarette butts, soak in a bowl of water, soak for 24 hours, and add some soapy water or washing powder to mix). Rinse with clean water after washing.

If everything is normal, such as fertilizer, water, etc., but the plant seems to be growing poorly, it should be suspected whether there are insect pests in the soil. The easiest and most effective way is to turn the basin to see if there are silkworms, ants, earthworms and so on in the soil. If so, they should be caught in time. When turning the pot, mix some carbofuran in the soil (a flowerpot with a diameter of 20 cm, about a small plastic spoon), or use 2 pieces of "Bai Hua Ling" tablets sold in the store, crushed and mixed into the soil, it also has a good effect of killing insects.

At this time, it needs to be pointed out that the family flower cultivation of diseases and insect pests should be checked frequently, early detection, timely prevention and control, as far as possible with manual killing or water washing methods. When pesticides must be used, non-toxic and low-toxic pesticides should be used as far as possible, and indoor spraying of pesticides is absolutely prohibited.
