Matters needing attention in family farming for mulberry

Fusang: Fusang flowers like light, like warm, moist and ventilated good climate, not cold-resistant, suitable for loose, fertile and deep sandy loam. The lowest temperature in winter should not be lower than 15 degrees, otherwise it is easy to cause fallen leaves, and if the room temperature is kept above 20 degrees, it is expected to continue to blossom in winter. Note: the cultivation of chrysanthemum is basically the same as that of mulberry. Fusang generally opens trumpet flowers to replace long buds, while most chrysanthemums are double and double. The color of flowering can be judged by the color of the new branch: the color of the new branch is green, the color of the new branch is green, and the color of the new branch is smoky pink or light flowers.

How to raise mulberry flowers? Family Culture methods and points for attention of Fusang Flower

Fusang flowers are rich in color, large flowers, with high ornamental value, very suitable for family potted plants. So how to raise mulberry flowers at home? Next, I will introduce the family breeding methods and matters needing attention of Fusang flower.

First, the family culture method of Fusang flower

1. Flowerpot selection

Potted mulberry is best to use vegetarian pots or buckets, these two kinds of flowerpots have good air permeability, which is conducive to the root respiration and absorption of water and fertilizer. Although the flowering period of Fusang is long, the flowering period of one flower is very short, it can only bloom for more than one day in hot and dry summer, and each flower can only bloom for 2 to 3 days in case of overcast and rainy days and a drop in temperature in late summer and early autumn.

two。 Watering method

As there are many buds in Fusang, it needs plenty of water, fertilizer and plenty of sunshine. Especially when it blossoms most in summer, it should be watered once or twice according to the air temperature and the dry and wet condition of the basin soil every day. Water can be sprayed around the leaves and flowerpots at noon to cool down and maintain air humidity. Do not spray water on the flowers, because the scorching sun in midsummer will cause damage to the flowers and affect the viewing.

3. Fertilization management

It is best to use home-made fertilizer, good absorption and quick effect. Use a plastic bucket with a lid to pour wastes such as chicken, fish and inedible intestines, together with waste water from chicken, fish, meat and rice washing, into the bucket, add an appropriate amount of black alum (ferrous sulfate), and rett the lid tightly for 2 months in summer and 3 months in autumn. When using, be sure to add the right amount of water, not too thick, in order to prevent root injury. If you are afraid that the fat alum water will smell bad, you can put an appropriate amount of vinegar or orange peel into the bucket. You can also go directly to the flower market to buy a bag of acid flower fertilizer, which can be put into a flowerpot to break the ground and then pour clear water to eliminate the smell.

4. Live safely through the winter

When the temperature drops to 6 ℃, Fusang should be moved indoors to prevent frostbite. You can also cover the mulberry with a plastic bag and put a few small holes in the plastic bag to let it breathe. Pay attention to keep the basin soil slightly moist, because Fusang has hibernating habits, can not water too much, in order to prevent man-made frost damage.

5. Pruning and sprouting

When raising mulberry in pots in the family, we should not only prevent the plant from being too big and too high, but also make its branches luxuriant and blossom, which is a problem that everyone wants to solve. The best way to solve this problem is to cut about 10 cm of the main culm of Fusang (cut short the annual branches, leaving part of the branches for growth), retain 3 to 5 main branches, and each main branch retains 2 to 3 branches. trim it into clusters.

Second, sprouts should be wiped in time (sprouting is also called sprouting, that is, those extra buds are removed from the sprouting of fruit trees to before flowering). The specific requirements for erasing buds are usually: erase the diseased weak buds and retain the thick and strong buds; erase the overlapping buds and retain the sparse buds; erase the medial buds and retain the lateral buds.

II. Matters needing attention in family culture of mulberry flowers

1. Fusang flower is a positive tree species, post-autumn management should be careful, we should pay attention to less fertilization in the later stage, so as not to produce autumn shoots. Autumn shoot tissue is young, cold resistance is weak, cold weather will suffer frost damage. Entering the room in time to help the mulberry is not resistant to frost. You must move into the room to keep warm before Frosts Descent and the Beginning of Winter.

two。 The overwintering temperature should not be less than 5 ℃ to avoid freezing injury, and not higher than 15 ℃ to avoid affecting dormancy. Poor dormancy, poor growth and blossom in the following year. Furniture houses with good thermal insulation conditions facing south can survive the winter and can be covered with paper or plastic film to keep warm when the weather is colder. The first moving room should open windows every day for ventilation, pay attention to the dry and wet changes of the basin soil, and water properly. In the coldest weather, watering can prevent frost injury, but fertilization should be stopped.

3. Flowerpots should be sufficiently breathable. When matching flowerpots for Fusang flowers, choose vegetarian roast plates or wooden bucket plates with good air permeability. Do not apply a single fertilizer. You should provide a full range of nutrients. The best light is 8 sunbaths a day.

4. Move outside in early May and put it in a sunny place, which is also the growing season for mulberry. It is necessary to strengthen the management of fertilizer and water, loosening soil, pulling grass and so on. Apply dilute liquid fertilizer every 10 days, watering should depend on the dry and wet condition of the basin soil, too dry or too wet will affect flowering.

The above is the full introduction of the family breeding methods and matters needing attention. Fusang flowers not only have ornamental value, but also have high medical value.

Key points of multi-flowering cultivation of Fusang in family culture Fusang is one of the excellent flower varieties suitable for family cultivation. If you want to keep it from falling buds and blossom more, you should start careful maintenance in spring and pay attention to the following cultivation points. Choose the flowerpot. Pot mulberry is best to choose element burning pot or barrel (pot), these two kinds of flowerpots have good air permeability, which is convenient for mulberry root system to breathe and absorb fertilizer and water, so that it can form a good crown in a relatively short time, early budding, early flowering and more flowering. Turn the basin and change the soil. Domestic mulberry generally turn the basin to change soil once every two years, the basin soil should be loose, fertile sandy loam, can also be used humus, dung dry, garden soil into the culture soil. Turning the basin should be carried out after the Qingming Festival. When turning the basin, the branches should be shaped and pruned, cutting off dead branches, diseased branches, weak branches and over-dense branches, so as to facilitate light and ventilation, maintain plant shape and promote new branches. Usually it is necessary to cut short and grow long branches to make them grow more lateral branches and blossom more. There are all kinds of nutrients. Fusang has a long growing period and a large number of flowers, so it needs to consume a lot of nutrients. Inadequate nutrients will affect plant growth, flowering, and even cause bud drop. Fusang usually enters the peak growing season in April and May and fertilizes once or twice a month. Urea, potassium dihydrogen phosphate and other nitrogen and phosphorus fertilizers can be selected. In June, Fusang began to bud and blossom one after another. from this time to October, topdressing should be applied 2 to 3 times a month, the amount of fertilizer can be larger, mainly phosphate fertilizer, to ensure that its flowers bloom continuously. In addition, home-raised mulberry can also use self-made fat alum water, good absorption, quick effect. Water properly. Fusang likes to be wet, so watering should be thoroughly watered, especially in full bloom in summer, depending on the air temperature and the dry and wet condition of the basin soil once or twice a day. Pay attention to dry and thoroughly irrigate to prevent half of watering or too much watering causing lack of water and retting roots. In hot summer, it is best to spray foliar water once every morning and afternoon, which can not only increase the environmental humidity, but also make the leaves bright. But do not spray water to the flowers, so as not to cause damage to the flowers and affect their beauty. There's plenty of light. Fusang likes light and warmth, so put it in a place with plenty of sunshine and good ventilation. The light time should be more than 8 hours a day, insufficient light will affect flowering or falling buds, long-term placed indoors or shaded places, not only difficult to conceive buds, less flowering, and poor growth of the whole plant, therefore, after two or three days of indoor viewing, it should be moved to a place with plenty of sunshine outside in time, and then moved back to indoor display when it returns to normal. Control diseases and insect pests. Aphids and scale insects are two major pests of domestic mulberry. It is best to drench leaves or branches with 200 to 300 times of detergent dilution or smear branches with self-made tobacco leaves or tobacco stalks, which can not only kill aphids and scale insects, but also do not cause indoor environmental pollution. Pruning and sprouting. Domestic mulberry should not only prevent the plant from being too big and too high, but also make its branches luxuriant and blossom. The best way is to cut short about 10 cm when the trunk of Fusang is unearthed, keep 3 to 5 main branches, each main branch to retain 2 to 3 branches, trim it into bushy shape, make the branches plump and pregnant buds, and wipe off part of the buds in time to prevent disordered growth, slender overgrowth, and small flowering.
