How to raise blue snowflakes? How do you want to trim? Culture methods of blue snowflakes

Just after the Beginning of Autumn, many areas are still shrouded in a stream of heat, the hot temperature makes many plants fall into a listless state, but blue snowflakes can open in the heat, light blue against the green leaves make people feel cool. The blue snowflake introduced today is not the blue snowflake we usually talk about. This blue snowflake belongs to the blue snowflake genus of the blue snow family, while we often talk about the blue snowflake, which belongs to the white flower genus of the blue snow family, and its real name is Lan Xuedan, which is closely related to the blue snowflake.

1. Sufficient light

Blue snowflakes like light, and it is precisely because of their light-loving nature that they can bloom beautifully in summer. It is important to pay attention to the maintenance of blue snowflakes to ensure long sunshine and full water supply to the plants. Even if the potted plants are exposed in the hot summer sun, blue snowflakes are still in full bloom. On the other hand, insufficient light will reduce the flowering amount of blue snowflakes, and the branches will become soft and weak, resulting in lodging.

Second, full of water

Compared with flowers such as Dahlia and hollyhocks, the petals of blue snowflakes are much weaker. It is precisely because of the soft and thin nature of the leaves that once the plant is short of water, the petals are easy to wither and wither. Although it can be watered afterwards to bring the plant back to life, the petals and leaves are not as good as they used to be, and flowering will be interrupted. Therefore, during the blooming of blue snowflakes, we must ensure a full water supply. In addition to replacing the large basin, a tray can also be added to the bottom of the basin to store water for a rainy day.

Third, topdressing in time

Blue snowflakes bloom for a long time. As long as they are properly maintained and the environment is suitable, blue snowflakes can bloom from early summer to late autumn. Due to the large number of flowering plants, it is necessary to topdressing in time to supplement plant nutrition. When applying fertilizer, it is best to apply liquid phosphate fertilizer. Liquid phosphate fertilizer can not only facilitate plant absorption, but also meet the needs of flowering. However, there are also some skills in choosing fertilizers. If you want to cultivate blue snowflakes into flower walls, you can choose nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium fertilizer. If you want to control the plant type and make the pot more round, lovely and full, you can choose high-phosphorus and high-potassium fertilizer.

4. Pruning in time

Some skilled flower friends have trimmed the blue snowflake plant into a lollipop shape, which is simply exquisite from afar. Because the branches of blue snowflakes are soft and easy to prune, it is easy to create various shapes. If you want to maintain a high ornamental value of blue snowflakes, timely pruning is necessary. There are two main aspects of daily pruning, one is to cut off the residual flowers in time, so that the plant can open new flowering branches, and the other is to trim off the extra branches outside the shape, so that blue snowflakes continue to block the lovely side.

These are the breeding methods and maintenance points of blue snowflakes sorted out by Xiaobian. Many friends found that white dots are easy to appear on the back of leaves when maintaining blue snowflakes. Most flower friends think that blue snowflake is infected with powdery mildew. In fact, these white dots (white powder) are not white powder, but salt. Because blue snowflake is an alkali-tolerant plant, it can expel excess salt from the body in the process of growth to maintain its health. At the same time, this signal also reminds friends that the basin soil has become salinized and needs to be taken to improve the soil. All right, that's all for blue snowflake today. Friends who like blue snowflake must not miss it.

How to raise blue snowflakes? Culture methods and matters needing attention of Blue Snow Flower

Blue snowflake, also known as ash wood, horn column flower, etc., is a perennial herb of the family Pleurophyllaceae.

I. Culture methods of blue snowflakes

1. Soil: blue snowflake likes loose, fertile, well-drained slightly acidic soil, and the culture medium can be prepared with rotten leaf soil, garden soil, coarse sand and other materials.

two。 Temperature: blue snowflake likes warm environment, not cold-resistant, the suitable temperature for growth is 18-25 ℃, and the winter temperature is above 7 ℃ can survive the winter safely. When the temperature is higher in spring, you can open the window for ventilation, and the room temperature is higher, which is conducive to the growth and flowering of blue snowflakes.

3. Lighting: blue snowflakes like plenty of sunshine, resistant to semi-shade, avoid strong light exposure. Indoor breeding blue snowflakes should be placed in the sun everywhere, exposed to the sun for several hours every day. In summer, shade should be given to prevent strong light exposure, and blue snowflakes should be given sufficient light in winter to make them safe to survive the winter.

4. Watering: blue snowflakes need a lot of water during their vigorous growth, and in order to keep the environment around the plant moist, you can spray water on blue snowflake leaves or put them on wet pebbles in flowerpots. Reduce the amount of water in winter and keep the basin soil dry.

5. Fertilization: blue snow peanuts are fertilized once every semimonthly for a long time. After sprouting, blue snowflakes should be mainly nitrogen fertilizer, and phosphorus and potassium fertilizer should be increased after May to promote blue snowflakes to blossom and flourish. Stop applying nitrogen fertilizer in September and apply phosphorus and potassium fertilizer twice to improve the cold resistance of the plant. Stop fertilizing in winter.

6. Change the basin: blue snowflakes turn the basin once every spring, take out the plant from the soil, remove part of the old soil, cut off the rotten roots and old roots, replace them with new culture soil, and replant them.

7. Pruning: pruning once in combination with turning the basin in spring, cutting off dense branches, thin and weak branches, and cutting too long branches, so that the blue snowflakes are round and well ventilated and transparent. For the old plants with decreased growth potential for more than 3 years, the amount of pruning should be increased and fertilizer should be applied after growth to promote the germination of new branches and the promotion of flowering. After blooming, the residual flowers should be trimmed and the thin branches should be thinned out.

Matters needing attention in blue snowflake culture

Blue snowflakes are born in the foothills of shallow mountains and on the peaceful ground. In North China and other temperate regions, blue snowflakes like warmth and are not tolerant to cold. In North China and other temperate regions, flower cultivation exists objectively, with suitable growth temperature of 25 ℃, light preference and shade tolerance. It is not suitable to be exposed to the sun in the hot sun. Drying is disadvantageous to its growth and is not resistant to drought. It is suitable to grow on sandy loam soil rich in humus and smooth drainage. Blue snowflakes are propagated by cutting. Cutting propagation of blue snowflakes can be carried out in spring, select sturdy annual branches, select 8-10 cm as cuttings, cut them in the culture soil, and cover them with plastic film. Keep the indoor temperature at 20-24 ℃. After 20-25 days, the branches of blue snowflakes can take root.

[editor's conclusion] the flowers of blue snowflakes are elegant and fresh, with intoxicating sky blue, which is very suitable for keeping indoors. The above introduces the breeding methods and matters needing attention of blue snowflakes. I hope it can be helpful to everyone!

How to trim blue snowflakes? how to trim blue snowflakes?

Blue snowflakes are strong, heat-resistant, more resistant to high temperature and humidity, less diseases and insect pests, simple management and long viewing period. The leaf color is green, the design and color is light and elegant, the hot summer gives people a cool feeling, but potted plants adorn the bedroom and balcony. Flowering time is also long, so in order to better watch the effect, how to trim blue snowflakes?

Blue snowflake pruning method 1. Pruning time of blue snowflake

The pruning of blue snowflakes requires some skills, and the time of pruning should also be paid attention to. When is the most appropriate time for pruning?

The most suitable time for pruning blue snowflakes is at the end of autumn, when the growth of blue snowflakes enters a slow period, when pruning will not damage blue snowflakes, and they can grow better after pruning.

2. Pruning skills of blue snowflakes

The pruning of blue snowflakes requires skills. Blue snowflakes themselves are plants that are not afraid of pruning, so it is easy to prune them.

First of all, after the blooming period of the blue snowflake, the remaining abortive blue snowflake should be cut off and ready for the next blossom, so that new flowers will bloom for as long as a month.

When blue snowflakes are moved into indoor farming in autumn, the old branches should be pruned, cutting off the old branches, leaving only the new stout green branches.

Secondly, the head of the blue snowflake tree can be shaved off, leaving only the trunk. If the branches have too many leaves, you can cut off a few leaves and leave fresh and tender leaves, which will promote the robust growth of the branches.

Finally, pay attention to the climate where blue snowflakes are trimmed. If there are many rainy days, the stems of blue snowflakes should be trimmed frequently, otherwise they will grow longer and longer. When the temperature is warm, it should be trimmed less; when the temperature is high, its branches can be trimmed, which will sprout a lot of new buds.

3. Matters needing attention in pruning blue snowflakes

Blue snowflake pruning must be careful not to prune or start pruning during the spring sprouting period.

Pay attention to the environment and temperature of blue snowflake pruning, strengthen stem pruning in cloudy, rainy, dry and cold days, reduce pruning in warm and sunny days, and wrap the cut in moist paper cloth after pruning, so as not to cause inflammation and affect freshmen due to mild weather.

Practical pruning experience of blue snowflakes

1. Blue snow flowers are not afraid of pruning, cut off the residual flowers after blooming, and can blossom again in about 20-30 days. The old branches should not be more than two years old. Generally, when they move into the house every autumn, they are forced to cut off the black branches, leaving only the sturdy green branches that were newly issued that year.

2. On November 30th, when I had nothing to do, I shaved the head of a pot of blue snowflake trees, cut the 60cm again, and left about the 50cm trunk.

Branches grow seven leaves minus four or five leaves minus three, and then the branches become strong, and there are many lateral branches and small leaves. Especially when it is cloudy and rainy for several days in a row, it will be very long without pruning. But the temperature is almost, long bud, cut less, cut too old branches, new buds are also slow, it is best to grow exuberant when the temperature is above 25 degrees, high temperature branching is good, a knife cut can send three or four buds, below 20 degrees usually send a bud on the top.
