Distribution of origin of goldfish grass

Snapdragon is a flower that blooms in summer and autumn. It is widely planted in Chinese gardens. It is suitable for group planting in flower beds and flower borders. It is especially effective with zinnia, petunia, marigold and a string of red. High-sex varieties can be used as background planting. Dwarf varieties should be buried in rocks or windowsill flower ponds, or marginal coffins. Let's take a look at the distribution of Snapdragon origin together!

Distribution of Antirrhinum

Snapdragon is native to the Mediterranean coast, north to Morocco and Portugal, south to France, east to Turkey and Syria. It is cultivated in gardens everywhere and sometimes escapes wild.

Antirrhinum growth habits

Snapdragon likes sunlight, but it can also tolerate half shade. It is cold and resistant to heat. It is suitable for loose fertile, well-drained soil and can grow normally in calcareous soil. Snapdragon is a light-loving herb. Sunny conditions, plant dwarf, compact clusters, growth neat, highly consistent, flowering neat, colorful. Under semi-shade condition, the plant grows taller, the inflorescence elongates, the flower color is lighter. It is insensitive to the length of light, such as the flower rain series snapdragon is almost insensitive to the length of light.

Antirrhinum cultivation method

1. Soil: Snapdragon's requirements for soil are not very high, but it grows best in a slightly acidic sandy loam that is fertile and loose and can drain well.

2. Watering: Snapdragon is very sensitive to moisture. The pot soil must be kept moist. It must be watered adequately when potted seedlings are planted. However, the drainage of the pot soil must be good and no water can be accumulated. Otherwise, it will easily cause the root system to rot and the stems and leaves to wither.

3, sunshine: Snapdragon light-loving herbs, need to survive in sufficient sunlight conditions, the plant belongs to dwarf and cluster compact, growth is also very neat height has been flowering neatly and has a bright color, if it is in semi-shade conditions, the growth of the plant will be high and the inflorescence will elongate and dim color.

4, temperature: snapdragon is relatively cold but not heat resistant, the most suitable temperature for growth in 7~10 degrees, high temperature will be detrimental to growth and development, and the most suitable temperature for flowering is about 15~16 degrees, some varieties if the temperature exceeds 15 degrees will not branch and affect the plant state.

5, fertilization: strengthen the management of fertilizer and water is necessary, fertilization should pay more attention to phosphorus, potassium and other coordination, because it itself has rhizobia, itself also has the role of nitrogen fixation, so in general, it is not necessary to apply nitrogen fertilizer, in the growth period to combine watering every half month and then apply a fermented oil residue water for it, before fertilization, but also appropriate loose soil weeding.

6, pruning: Snapdragon only after the end of each flowering, cut off its flowering branches, so as to better promote the germination of new branches and continue to bloom.
