Maintenance and management of potted geranium

Geraniums (details) are native to southern Africa and are now widely cultivated all over the world. In the West, geranium is a good flower to decorate the windowsill. Now many flower friends plant geraniums on the balcony, which is very beautiful. So how should potted geraniums be preserved?

Geranium (details)

1. Lighting: geraniums actually like light, especially in autumn, we should find a way to give full light. Because of the balcony, my flower rack basically changes with the light every season. If conditions permit, winter should also be given the maximum possible light, and summer should be placed in a shining place to avoid dying.

2, temperature: the most suitable temperature for geranium is 10 Murray 20 degrees Celsius, that is, spring and autumn is the most suitable, too cold in winter and too hot in summer. So in summer, you must prevent the sun from being exposed to the sun and put it in a cool place. In winter, the indoor temperature should not be lower than 0 °, otherwise it will be frostbitten. If there is no warm equipment, turning on a 200 °light bulb in a small room also has a certain anti-freezing effect.

3, planting basin: although the geranium does not belong to a large plant, but the basin is small, especially the drop-down geranium, it is best to choose a higher basin, and then the soil surface is slightly higher away from the basin mouth. This can avoid growing up too heavy and breaking is equivalent to a small bracket, and the upright one should choose a basin of about 20 centimeters as far as possible. however, the angel's eye, if you want to raise well, you need a basin of more than 30 centimeters.

4. Fertilization: too much fertilizer at one time will cause dehydration of the geranium. If you apply too much fertilizer, for example, too much nitrogen fertilizer will cause the plant to grow wildly and not blossom, too much fertilization and logistical watering can relieve the symptoms.

5. Planting soil: geranium is suitable to survive in sandy soil, and the soil bought in the flower market mixed with some sandy soil is more beneficial to the growth of geranium.

6. Watering: geraniums are taboo to be overwatered. If the roots of geraniums are found to fester, it may be due to overwatering and muggy weather. The frequency of watering is controlled to be watered once every three or two days, with a large amount of water each time to ensure that it is thoroughly watered.

7. Weather influence: the windy weather will blow the geranium, while the heavy rain will make the root system of the geranium soaked by Rain Water, causing the root to breathe anoxia and fester.

Maintenance and management of potted geranium

Geranium plants stop growing in summer, leaves aging, semi-dormant, at this time can be transferred to the indoor shade, stop the application of liquid fertilizer, watering on time, rainy days will put down the pot to prevent stagnant water rotting roots.

In September, after the summer, you can turn the basin and change the soil, first cut the branches short, leaving only about ten centimeters at the base of each branch, so that new buds can be replaced by new branches. The geranium should be watered moderately, the basin soil should not be too wet, and the basin soil should be semi-dry half a day after watering.

① changes the environment and adjusts the environment maintenance according to the temperature during the farming season. Generally placed in spring and autumn in outdoor maintenance; summer high temperature into the semi-dormant period, should stop fertilization, placed in a ventilated semi-shaded place is appropriate; such as ventilation, shade cooling means, can make it open dormancy ahead of time, early growth and development and flowering; outdoor should pay attention to prevent hot sun exposure, high temperature and humidity, rainy basin water; winter should be placed indoors or greenhouse maintenance. In modern family life, air conditioning can be used to adjust the appropriate temperature, as long as it can meet the light conditions, it can achieve annual flowering.

② fertilizer and water management. In autumn, when the temperature drops and the plant begins to grow and enter the vigorous growth period, it is necessary to strengthen the management of fertilizer and water, apply dilute nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium compound liquid fertilizer every 10 days or so, and increase the application of phosphorus and potassium diluted liquid fertilizer in early spring, autumn and winter, and the basin soil should be kept moist. Avoid thick fertilizer and high humidity.

The ③ is trimmed properly. Moderate retraction and pruning of long branches and post-anthesis branches should be done to promote new branches and avoid re-pruning; remove old yellow leaves to make plants clean and flowers more beautiful.

Prevention and cure of ④ disease. The main disease is leaf spot, which can cause stem and branch rot and leaf shedding in serious cases. In the management, the diseased leaves should be removed in time to prevent spread. The humidity and temperature of the cultivation environment should not be too high, good ventilation, good air, scientific fertilizer and water management, can improve their own disease resistance; according to the actual situation, spraying 200 times the same amount of Podol liquid has a better preventive effect.
