Culture method of indoor potted cyclamen

Cyclamen (scientific name: Cyclamen persicum), alias turnip begonia, rabbit ear flower, rabbit flower, a crown, bonspark, petal lotus, is a perennial herb of cyclamen of purple Taurus family. Cyclamen is a widely cultivated flower, which is suitable for indoor flowerpots and greenhouse in winter. Some cultivated species of cyclamen have strong aroma, while others have light or no aroma. The word "cyclamen" comes from the transliteration of the scientific name Cyclamen. Because of its ingenious transliteration, the flower name has the meaning of "celestial visitors come". Cyclamen is the city flower of Qingzhou City, Shandong Province, and the mascot of the 43rd World Table Tennis Championships held in Tianjin in 1995.

The culture method of cyclamen

Cyclamen prefers sunny, moist and cool environments, but is afraid of waterlogging. The matrix needs slightly acidic soil with loose air permeability and good drainage, and the mixed substrate of peat and perlite is commonly used in cultivation. It can also be cultivated with rotten leaf soil and slag ash. The substrate must be disinfected and sterilized during cultivation to prevent quenching, root rot and so on. Cyclamen likes a warm environment, can not bear high temperature and cold, the highest temperature can not exceed 30 ℃, otherwise it will enter dormancy, the high temperature of about 35 ℃ is prone to decay and necrosis. It is best to keep it between 10-20 ℃ in winter. When it is lower than 5 ℃, the growth is inhibited, the leaves curl, the flowers bloom poorly, and the color is dim.

In summer, it should be placed in a moist and ventilated place, and the basin soil should be kept in a certain dry state to make it fully dormant over summer. It likes a humid environment and is not resistant to dryness. It needs to be kept at 60-70% humidity during the growth period, which can make the leaves dark green and shiny. In winter, it can not be placed in the position where heating and air conditioning can be contacted directly to prevent wilting and withering due to air drying. Avoid flowers when spraying water to prevent flowers from withering ahead of time. The water temperature should be close to room temperature. In the growing period, sufficient light conditions are needed in order to bloom for a long time and bright colors. Placed in the semi-shade can only be enjoyed for a short time, but also to avoid the shady environment, otherwise the leaf color and flower color will fade, the plant will be weak, and in serious cases, it will be difficult to recover until it decays and dries up. Cyclamen likes water and avoids dampness, and the basin soil needs to be kept moist, but it is necessary to strictly prevent stagnant water or waterlogging, otherwise once the roots rot, the whole plant will die quickly. Because the whole plant of cyclamen is fleshy and not resistant to drought, if the water supply is not timely, the leaves will soon turn yellow and wilt, even after supplementary watering, many leaves will turn yellow and need pruning, seriously affecting the beauty and growth of the whole plant.

Cyclamen is generally appreciated in the family, has entered the flowering period, so basically do not need to apply fertilizer, otherwise it will significantly shorten the flowering period, or even drop flowers and buds. Fertilization is generally selected in the vegetative growth period, nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium need to be balanced, and the flower bud development stage needs to increase the application amount of phosphorus and potassium fertilizer, but must not apply thick fertilizer, strong fertilizer, raw fertilizer, otherwise it is easy to cause fertilizer damage and necrosis of the whole plant. If it is a liquid fertilizer, it needs to be irrigated slowly from the edge of the basin, not from the top of the plant, and rinse the leaves with clean water after fertilization. Cyclamen generally does not need to reproduce on its own in the family, but it can be done every year after the dormancy period and after the germination of new buds. When changing the basin and changing soil, attention should be paid to making the part of the bulb 2-3-1-2 exposed above the soil surface, so as to prevent the corm from rotting because of high water content in the soil.

Culture method of potted cyclamen

We usually hear a lot of rabbit flowers, but do you know that the scientific name of rabbit flowers is cyclamen, which has the meaning of "celestial visitors arrive". Let's take a look at how to raise potted cyclamen.

I. living environment

Cyclamen prefers cool, moist and sunny environments. The suitable temperature for growth and flower bud differentiation is 15 ℃ 20 ℃, humidity 70% Murray 75%. The flowering temperature in winter should not be lower than 10 ℃. If the temperature is too low, the flower color will be dim, easy to wither and not resistant to high temperature. Plants above 30 ℃ will stop growing and enter dormancy, while plants above 35 ℃ will rot and die easily. The heat tolerance of seedlings was slightly stronger than that of old plants. Avoid direct sunlight, need to be cultivated in shaded places, it is best to plant on the east balcony in the family. After flowering, it can be placed in a brightly lit room for viewing. It requires slightly acidic sandy loam which is loose, fertile, rich in humus and well drained.

Second, how to raise potted cyclamen

1. Potted soil: cyclamen requires fertile, slightly acidic soil with smooth drainage. If the soil is not managed or managed scientifically for a long time, cyclamen will grow poorly, blossom less, lose its color, and reduce or lose its ornamental value. It is better to plant with loose and fertile nutritious soil. Organic fertilizers such as rotting heat and thin human and animal feces and urine are applied every 10 days or so; after budding, 0.1% potassium dihydrogen sulfate is applied twice.

2. Seed selection: select seeds, select full, glossy brown seeds without diseases and insect pests, soak the seeds collected that year in the mixture of 50ppm's GA3 (gibberellin) and 500ppm's methyl thiophanate or chlorothalonil for one day and night, then control clean water, rinse clean in clean water, and control water to dry the surface moisture. Then sow the seeds and blossom about 10 days earlier than the unsoaked seeds.

3. Temperature: cyclamen is afraid of high temperature, the growth will stop if it is more than 30 ℃. Therefore, in summer, it is appropriate to put the basin in a cool and ventilated place, or build a shed to shade. Spend the summer outdoors, keep out the rain so that the bulbs don't rot. Move indoors in late October and keep the temperature at 10 Mel 20 ℃, which should be placed in the sunny place. Around November (that is, 15 months after sowing), it will blossom one after another. If you want to accelerate flowering, you can spray 100 mg / kg gibberellin in the pedicel at the budding stage, which can also promote growth. If there are too many hairy leaves, you can cut off some of the leaves appropriately so that the nutrition is concentrated on flowering. The flowers are well managed and continue to bloom until the following year, 4muri-May.

4. Light: temperature and light have certain effects on the growth and development of cyclamen. In the whole growth process, mainly from the temperature hand, consider prolonging the flowering period. After the flowers are reduced by the end of April, the potted flowers should be removed from the greenhouse and kept in a ventilated and cool place with scattered light. When cyclamen enters dormancy in summer, it is necessary to reduce the watering of dormant bulbs, pour enough water after potting and turning in autumn, and gradually increase fertilizer and water, keep the soil moist, and reduce water in winter. Do not make water on flower buds and tender leaves when watering, so as not to rot and affect flowering. The watering time should be 10: 00 am, 10: 00 am, and 12: 00 am, and the water temperature and substrate temperature should be as close as possible.

5. Fertilization: cyclamen is also a fertilizer-loving plant. First of all, we should start with the soil. The soil in the flowerpot should take fertile sandy loam with more humus, change the basin soil once a year, and apply 2 ‰ potassium dihydrogen phosphate once a year in spring and autumn. Do not apply high nitrogen fertilizer, you can blossom 15 colors 20 days ahead of schedule. Fertilizer during the growing period should generally be applied with thin fertilizer, liquid fertilizer must be fully rotten and fermented, and fertilization should be carried out on a sunny day. After late August, the weather is getting cooler and the growth is flourishing. Fertilizers containing phosphorus and potassium can be applied every 10 days, so as to promote flowering and flourishing in the future. When applying fertilizer, pay attention to prevent the liquid fertilizer from flooding the bulb so as not to cause rot.

Cyclamen can be said to be beautiful and chic and is favored by people. As a flower watcher, how can you miss it? The above is the introduction of how to raise potted cyclamen.

How to raise cyclamen and its breeding methods and matters needing attention

Cyclamen flowers bright color, pleasant aroma, made of potted plants placed indoors is particularly beautiful, but this beautiful cyclamen should be how to raise? The breeding method of cyclamen is not complicated, but there are some places that need to pay special attention to in the process of breeding.

The culture method of cyclamen

1. Soil and flowerpot

When raising cyclamen, we must choose a suitable culture soil, preferably with three parts of humus soil, two parts of rotten leaf soil, two parts of furnace ash and two parts of river sand, and an appropriate amount of calcium superphosphate should be added in the middle. If this picture is matched again, it must be dealt with and strictly sterilized in the future, and the size of the flowerpot should match the bulb size of cyclamen, so there can be no case of planting small seedlings on a large plate.

2. Culture environment

Cyclamen this kind of plant has certain requirements on the growth environment when it is cultivated. It likes to grow in a warm environment of about 20 degrees. If the environmental temperature is too low, it will affect cyclamen blossom normally. In addition, the cultivation of cyclamen should ensure adequate light, usually it can not receive less than five hours of light a day, but it must be shaded in summer, otherwise it will affect the florescence and make its leaves yellow.

Matters needing attention in culture

1. Timely fertilization

At ordinary times, when raising cyclamen, we must pay attention to timely fertilization, because it is a kind of fertilizer-loving plant, but does not like thick fertilizer. Usually, in addition to applying sufficient base fertilizer in the basin soil, but also topdressing every half a month, fertilizer can choose organic liquid fertilizer, fertilizer application should be diluted with water, and it should be watered in time after application.

2. Pay attention to diseases and insect pests

When raising cyclamen, we should also pay attention to diseases and insect pests. Aphids and leaf rollers are high incidence diseases of cyclamen, which can be prevented by temperature regulation and humidity regulation, but they need to be sprayed in time after the occurrence of diseases and insect pests, otherwise pests are difficult to eradicate and will directly affect the growth of cyclamen.
