These two kinds of flowers are popular. The buds bloom for more than one year and blossom for 200 days. The key is to raise them.

The first kind of flower is geranium, also known as Hydrangea, Hydrangea, which is a perennial evergreen herb or subshrub woody flower. Native to southern Africa, it is widely cultivated all over the world. Pelargonium has a long flowering period, strong adaptability to the environment, and its plant size is suitable for family potted plants. It is easy to breed and is very popular with people. It is one of the common potted flowers in families, and it is also a common flower in flower beds in warm areas in winter.

Spring and autumn growth season should meet sufficient moisture, so that the basin soil often keep moist, but not stagnant water; in low temperature cloudy days, generally do not water, do not fertilize; less watering in summer. The high temperature season in the north is in the rainy season, during which the root system of the plant is relatively weak, so too much Rain Water irrigation should be avoided; days of overcast and rain will cause root rot, which should be placed in a place to avoid shade, dryness and ventilation. It can be watered according to the indoor temperature in winter, less watering at low room temperature and more watering at high room temperature. Pelargonium has a strong ability to withstand drought and will not die without watering for a few days, but the old leaves will turn yellow and fall off.

Cutting method of geranium: the best cutting time, autumn. In principle, cuttings can be carried out in all seasons except summer, but autumn is the best. Because after the vigorous growth in spring and early summer, the geranium plant type is full again, and after semi-dormancy trimming in cool summer, the vitality blooms again as the weather turns cool, and the branches are the strongest at this time.

I see a lot of people use some old branches for cutting. maybe you think this kind of branch is sturdy and the survival rate is relatively high, but I don't think it is very ideal, and the old branch has almost no advantage. I usually use tender wood cuttings. The twig has several advantages such as strong vitality, good top advantage and rich nutrients. The slow seedling period is short, but the old branches not only take root slowly, but also are easy to rot with miscellaneous bacteria.

The second kind of flower is dry golden lotus, which is easy to raise and has a good skin. It likes warm, humid and sunny environment, the suitable temperature for growth is 18-24 ℃, it avoids high temperature in summer, is afraid of waterlogging, and grows well in sandy loam rich in organic matter and well drained. After fertilization and watering, it is necessary to loosen the soil in time to facilitate ventilation. The growth period needs plenty of sunshine, but the high temperature season needs proper shade, which should be placed in a cool and ventilated place. Keep room temperature about 15 ℃ in winter, properly control fertilizer and water to make it grow normally.

The dry golden lotus is sown in September, blossoms in November, and can bloom until next spring. When sowing in spring, the room temperature should be kept above 12-15 ℃. After sowing, attention should be paid to drainage and waterlogging, strengthening ventilation, and paying attention to heat prevention and cooling, otherwise it will be stunted. If you want to watch the flowers on National Day, sow at the end of May and the beginning of June, shade in time or move to a cool and ventilated place in the high temperature season; if you want to bloom in early spring from February to March, you need to sow seeds indoors in October of the previous year, keep the room temperature at about 15 ℃, and put on the pot when there are 3 to 4 true leaves.
