How to raise potted drunken butterfly flowers

Maintenance skills of drunken butterfly flower pot:

Seedlings should be time seedlings, transplanted with 2-3 true leaves, planted or potted in June, taproot plants, small whisker roots, difficult to recover after transplantation, usually direct seeded in the open field in spring, or when the seedlings grow to about 5 cm high, transplanted in fertile soil. Generally, there is no need for topdressing, fertilizing once every semimonthly during the growth period, and water and fertilizer should be controlled during the growth period to prevent the overgrowth of plants and affect flowering. The flower bud formation and flowering stage can be prolonged by applying topdressing for 2 or 3 times. It is better to water at ordinary times in order to keep half of the soil moisture, and to water frequently in times of drought.

When flowering, a pillar should be set up to prevent lodging. If no seed is left, the residual flowers should be cut off in time after fade, so as to reduce the nutrient consumption and prolong the flowering period. The whole plant has sticky hair and less water consumption. except for more water in flowering stage, it can be irrigated or less watered at seedling stage, which is easier to manage. Watering at least once a day in summer, in case of high temperature and drought, can be moved to a cool place, wait for the basin soil to cool and then rewater. The amount of water can be reduced in autumn and winter, and then watered when the surface of the basin soil is dry.

Light temperature drunken butterfly flower likes high temperature and heat resistance, the most suitable growth temperature is 20 ℃ to 32 ℃, it likes light, although it can grow under semi-shade conditions, but in order to dwarf it, it is better to see more direct light as much as possible, preferably more than 4 hours a day. When planting flower beds, the residual flowers should be picked in time so that they do not bear seeds in order to prolong the flowering period.

For potted plants, the top buds were removed at the seedling stage and nitrogen fertilizer was controlled to dwarf the plants. For cut flowers, the plants can be slightly denser and lateral buds can be removed to promote the development of terminal bud inflorescences. If you want to make the drunken butterfly blossom in the Spring Festival, you can plant it in autumn and move into the sunny place indoors before winter. the indoor temperature should be maintained at about 20 ℃, the potted soil should be kept slightly moist, and the thin compound liquid fertilizer should be applied 2 or 3 times during the bud period, which can bloom during the Spring Festival.

Leaf spot disease and rust are often harmed. Leaf spot disease is sprayed with 50% thiophanate wettable powder, and rust can be prevented by spraying 3000 times of 50% Weiling wettable powder.
