Culture methods of dolphin flowers

Dolphin flower is a perennial herb native to South Africa, because it blossoms like a group of dolphins stretching around, in fact, if the growers will know, dolphin flowers are more like a dolphin, blue back and white belly, head and tail is small, very cute. So how are such interesting flowers planted? Next, the pro-agricultural network will introduce it to you.

I. the growth habits of dolphin flowers

Dolphin flowers like semi-shaded, well-ventilated living environment, flowering in spring and autumn, but if they can blossom throughout the year, dolphin flowers need a cool environment, but also need a certain amount of light, so spring and autumn can accept direct sunlight, but summer should be shaded and moved to a shady position. It is easy to cause frost damage when the winter temperature is lower than 10 ℃, so it is necessary to take heat preservation measures in time.

Second, the culture method of dolphin flower

1. Soil

Dolphin flowers are afraid of waterlogging in the choice of soil must not choose clayey soil, to choose good permeability, good drainage soil, such as peat 3 in 1, or with general culture soil mixed with sand, can also increase its air permeability.

two。 Moisture content

Dolphin flower leaves are fleshy, their water content is relatively high, do not water too frequently, do not put trays at the bottom of the basin to avoid root decay due to lack of oxygen; of course, try not to dry it, if there is no water, its leaves will curl and the plant type is not good. Many flower friends say that this degree is very difficult to master, and that friends remember that it is better to dry than to be waterlogged. Some flower friends abroad have tried it, and the leaves wilted and watered for one day.

3. Light

It has been introduced before that dolphin flowers need a certain amount of sunshine, but excessive exposure will cause the leaves to turn yellow and curl, and in severe cases, the leaf edges will scorch. The best way is to put it indoors and let the sun shine through the curtains or plant leaves. Spring and autumn are the main flowering and growing periods, when the sun is softer and can shine directly on the plants. Proper light is beneficial to the compactness of the plant, so that the effect after flowering will be better.

4. Fertilizer application

The reason why dolphin flowers are easier to breed is that they don't need to be fertilized. Dolphin flowers do not have high requirements for fertilizer, so just chase some fertilizer for a month and a half. Of course, if you apply slow-release fertilizer in the planting substrate, you can just let it go.

The above is the dolphin flower breeding methods and matters needing attention introduced by the pro-agricultural network, is it relatively simple, as long as the change of the main temperature basically does not have any other problems? it is very suitable for working people in the city to breed at home!
