Propagation methods and points for attention of Burning Flowers

Burning flowers originated in Yunnan, China, like high temperature, not cold-resistant. Artificial propagation can be done by cutting, sowing or high pressure. Because fire flowers need a higher temperature to blossom, it is difficult to obtain seeds if they are not properly maintained.

Burn flowers

Because the burning flower blossoms in many seasons, it can collect seeds in many seasons, so sowing and propagation is the main method to reproduce seedlings. When the capsule is ripe, the pericarp changes from cyan to dark brown, at this time, the harvested fruit is dried or dried in a windless place, and the seeds are gently knocked out after cracking, which can be picked and sown in the suitable season, and can be stored until the following spring when it is cold in winter. Because the seeds are small, they are generally sown and covered with thin soil after sowing. After sowing, keep the sowing bed moist at a temperature of about 25 ℃, generally germinate in about 1 week, and the germination rate is 60% to 80%. The seedlings grow for 50 to 60 days, and when the stem is slightly lignified, it can be transferred to the field for cultivation, can come out of the nursery for 1 to 2 years, and blossom for 3 to 5 years.

The cuttage survival rate of burning flowers is low. Grafting and high-altitude striping can be used in vegetative propagation to improve the survival rate and dwarf and then be used in potted plants. The plants obtained by vegetative propagation can blossom in 1 to 2 years.

Propagation methods of Burning Flowers Culture methods and matters needing attention of burning flowers

Bonsai Flower Network Guide: today, the editor of Flower Bonsai Network shares with you the breeding methods of burning flowers, the breeding methods of burning flowers and matters needing attention. Let's take a look.

The fire flower is a kind of small tree, the fire flower is orange, very bright, the blossom is like the flame burning, very vivid, today we come to understand the propagation method of the fire flower.

Sowing and propagation of burning flowers

Sowing and reproduction is the main way of propagation of burning flowers.

Burning flowers can blossom in many seasons, so we can collect seeds in many seasons, so we usually use the way of sowing and reproduction to reproduce burning flowers. The way we collect the seeds of burning flowers is to pick the ripe fruits of burning flowers, dry them in a windless environment, and gently knock down the seeds of burning flowers after they crack in the air, so that we can collect the seeds of burning flowers. We can store the seeds of burning flowers for the winter and sow the seeds at the right time.

We usually sow seeds in warmer spring, because the seeds of burning flowers are very small, so we usually sow them directly on the soil, then cover them with a thin layer of soil to maintain a temperature of about 25 °C. and at the same time keep the soil moist, it takes a week or so to sprout and plant three to five years to blossom.

Cutting Propagation of Burning Flowers

Generally speaking, the method of cutting propagation will not be used in the propagation of fire flowers, because the survival rate of fire flowers propagated by this method is relatively low. in order to improve the survival rate of cutting propagation, we can use the method of vegetative propagation. the method of high-altitude pressing can effectively improve the survival rate of cuttage propagation, and the fire flowers propagated by this method are generally used in potted plants.

Fire flowers successfully propagated by this method usually blossom in a year or two.

Culture methods and points for attention of Burning Flowers

Burning flower is a kind of woody plant, which is strong in nature and easy to breed. It is also full of artistic conception to use burning flowers as ornamental trees and to watch their gorgeous flowers.

The culture method of burning flowers soil

Huo Chaohua likes the soil with deep and fertile soil, and the neutral or slightly acidic soil with good drainage is better, which can tolerate barren and needs to apply a certain amount of base fertilizer when planting.

Light and temperature

Burning flowers like the light and the warm growing environment. Burning flowers can be heat-resistant but not cold-resistant. The suitable temperature for growth is between 23 ℃ and 30 ℃. It can withstand high temperature of about 0 ℃ in winter, but it can not be kept at low temperature for a long time, which will make the plant frostbite. Generally, fire-burning flowers are cultivated in China, which can be planted in open field in South China, and potted plants are needed in other areas in winter and moved into indoor conservation. Burning flowers like the sunny growth environment, there is sufficient light will grow well, but can also withstand semi-shade.

Watering and fertilizing

The demand for water and fertilizer for burning flowers is not high, so it is necessary to pay attention to replenishing water in time during the growth period, especially in times of high temperature and drought. Fertilization needs to be carried out according to the fertility of the soil, and appropriate supplementary fertilizers are needed during the growing period, mainly thin fertilizer, fertilizing 3-5 times a year, more nitrogen fertilizer can be applied, and phosphorus and potassium fertilizer should be increased in autumn.

Matters needing attention in the Culture of Burning Flowers

Propagation of fire and burning flowers is commonly used by cutting, sowing or striping, all of which can be carried out in spring.

Common diseases and insect pests

The common disease of burning flowers is blight, which mainly occurs when it is rainy in spring and suffers greatly. Insect pests are mainly aphids, Spodoptera litura, large and small ground tigers and beetles, and so on. These pests will more or less harm the burning flowers and need to be controlled in time.

Pruning

Burnt flowers are more pruning-resistant plants, which can be pruned frequently to maintain their plant type.
