Propagation methods and matters needing attention of calla lilies

Calla is a bulb flower, and it is also one of the most popular flower varieties in recent years. In the flower market, calla is mainly used for cutting flowers. Because calla lilies have medicinal value, so breeding calla lilies also has its economic value. So how on earth should calla lilies breed? And how to improve the survival rate of reproduction?

Calla lily

The propagation of calla lilies is mainly divided into balls. After the plant enters the dormant period, peel off the small balls around the tuber and plant it separately. It can also be sown and propagated, and the seeds can be sown in pots as soon as the seeds are ripe. The suitable temperature for germination is about 20 ℃.

Cultivated calla lilies usually plant balls after autumn. The bed planting spacing is 25 cm, and the plant spacing is 10 cm. Use fertile and slightly clayey soil, such as 2 parts of garden soil, 1 part of rice chaff ash, with a little bone meal or barnyard manure, or 2 parts of fine broken pond mud, 1 part of rotten leaf soil (or compost), and soil prepared with appropriate amount of calcium superphosphate and mature cow dung. Covered with soil 3 cm-4 cm thick after planting, seedlings can emerge in about 20 days. Calla lilies like to have plenty of water during their growth, so they should often sprinkle water on the leaves and the ground, and pay attention to the cleanliness of the leaves. Liquid fertilizer was applied once every semimonthly. Rinse with clean water immediately after fertilization, in case of accident, move into the greenhouse before frost and keep room temperature above 10 ℃. In order to avoid the influence of leaves on daylighting during maintenance, the outer leaves can be removed, which is also conducive to pedicel protruding. February-April is the full flowering period, after flowering gradually stop watering; after May, the plant begins to wither and yellow, should pay attention to ventilation and keep dry, in order to prevent tuber rot. When the plant is completely dormant, the tubers can be taken out, dried and stored, and then planted in autumn.

Calla lilies are suitable for planting from late August to early September, and the ground planting is used for cut flower production. If the sturdy rhizomes are planted in a fertile field, New Year's Day can blossom and supply the market. There are 3 big balls and 2 small balls in each potted plant. Garden soil and organic fertilizer can be used in potted soil. Plant in a semi-shaded place, sprout in the sun, wait for Frosts Descent to move to the greenhouse, keep the room temperature above 10 degrees. During the growth period, it is necessary to keep the basin soil moist, usually sprinkling water to the leaf surface and the ground to increase air humidity. Liquid fertilizer was applied once every semimonthly. Phosphate fertilizer should be applied before flowering to control stem and leaf growth, promote flower bud differentiation and ensure flower quality. Do not let fertilizer and water flow into the petiole when fertilizing, so as not to cause rot. If there are too many leaves during the growth period, a small number of external old leaves can be removed to facilitate pedicel extraction. February-May is the flowering and luxuriant period. After the hot day in late May, the plants began to wither and yellow, so they should be gradually stopped watering to moderate shade to prevent stagnant water. Potted plants should be moved to ventilated, semi-shaded places, so that the pot side, do not accumulate Rain Water, in order to keep dry, promote its dormancy. After all the leaves are withered and yellow, the bulbs can be taken out, dried and stored in a cool and ventilated place. Before planting in autumn, the senescent part of the bulb base was cut off and replanted. Big balls blossom, but small balls can raise seedlings. The main disease of diseases and insect pests is soft rot. The prevention and control methods include pulling out diseased plants, disinfecting planting holes with 200 times formalin, avoiding continuous cropping as far as possible, timely drainage, proper ventilation and spraying Bordeaux solution when the disease occurs. The pest is mainly red tarantula. It can be controlled by 3 000 times solution of phosphorus trisulfide.

Cultivation methods and precautions of potted calla lilies the flowers of calla lilies are beautiful. In our country, brides hold flowers in roses, while in European countries, brides hold flowers in calla lilies, so calla lilies are very popular. How to cultivate calla lilies? The potted soil consists of sandy loam, garden soil and rotten leaves, and then mixed with organic fertilizer 1 to 5 to cultivate colorful calla lilies. Because the root system grows in the upper part of the sphere, the bottom of the basin soil should be covered with water-permeable slag or coarse-grained sand. Flowerpots should be shallow pots instead of bobbin pots. Fertilization is mainly phosphorus and potassium fertilizer, especially in the bud development, it is necessary to timely spray potassium dihydrogen phosphate solution with a concentration of 0.1% to 0.2%, so as to make the pedicel stout and straight to resist lodging. If you leave the seed, spray once every 10 days, 2 to 3 times after setting the fruit. Potted plant nutrients are limited, so it is necessary to apply thin fertilizer frequently and constantly supplement potted soil nutrients. Like ordinary white calla lilies, colored calla lilies like a warm and humid environment and are not resistant to drought. the basin soil should be kept moist and can not be short of water. If the environment is dry, spray water to the ground and keep a small moist environment. Colorful calla lilies like the sun, but they are afraid of summer sun exposure. Leaves and flame bracts will burn after direct sunlight. So summer should be shaded with a shading rate of 50%. However, if you grow in a dark and sunny environment for a long time, it will affect flowering, even if it does not blossom, the color is also light, hindering viewing. There is no need to shade the sun in spring and autumn. Colorful calla lilies, not cold-resistant, like warmth. Planting in southern Liaoning, generally in the autumn in September on the pot, each pot with the same diameter of flowering bulbs, can be planted three, according to the zigzag planting. It can be rooted in autumn, dormant in winter, stored indoors, kept for 5 ℃, and flowerpots can be placed in palletizing. In the coming spring, when the temperature is 10 ℃ to 15 ℃, it should be watered. If the indoor temperature is high and germinates early, it usually blossoms in June or July. Some high temperature and well-managed flowers can be seen at the beginning of June. Family pot propagation, the amount of cultivation is small, mainly by ball reproduction. Take the plant out of the pot in September every year, break off the seed ball around the mother plant, smear the wound with plant ash to avoid infection and decay, replace the disinfected culture soil, and then put the mother ball into 4000 times potassium permanganate solution, soak for 15 to 20 minutes, and dry it. Pot according to the size of the ball, so that the plant will be the same size in the coming year. Bulbs need to be cultivated for 3 years before they can blossom. Ramet reproduction must be in autumn, otherwise it is very difficult to blossom in that year, that is, flowering, flowering is also late.
