How to grow freesia with strong flower scent? Talking about the cultivation and management skills of freesia

Freesia is characterized by leaves like swords, rich colors, flowering in the Spring Festival, and flowering accompanied by a faint fragrance, high ornamental value, generally can be planted in the courtyard or potted, some people do bouquets cut flowers, the following is the growth habits and maintenance skills of freesia, like relatives can refer to.

Environment

Freesia likes warm, humid, sunny environment, afraid of cold and heat, avoid strong light, high temperature is easy to grow. The suitable growth temperature is 15 ℃ to 25 ℃, planted in the south and potted in the north.

Soil

Freesia likes loose, fertile and sandy loam, which can be mixed with peat soil, nutrient soil and fine sand. It is better to plant it in a potted pot in early September.

Light, temperature

The suitable temperature for freesia growth is 18-20 degrees during the day and 14-16 degrees at night, and the overwintering temperature is 6-7 degrees (the pot plants move indoors in winter in the north). During the growth period, sufficient light is added, avoiding strong light and high temperature are easy to grow. Short-day sunshine can promote flower buds, while long sunshine can promote flowering. The hot plants dormant in summer, and when the weather is cool, the corms begin to sprout and blossom.

Water and fertilizer

Freesia in the growing period to supplement enough fertilizer and water, apply dilute bean cake water once a month, or phosphorus, potassium freshwater fertilizer, stop fertilizer after anthesis. Watering basin soil can be seen dry and wet, it is not resistant to drought and moisture, stagnant water rotten roots, soil lack of water leaves lose luster. Water the pot once a week when you first plant it, and water enough when you pull out the flower stem. If you move indoors in winter in the north, you can water less on warm days.

Freesia dwarfing

Freesia is tall and easy to lodge, so you can use a bracket. Before cultivation, mix the seed ball with paclobutrazol powder and soak it for 15 to 20 hours for disinfection. Rinse with clean water and then put on the basin. It is beneficial to the neat emergence of seedlings, wide dwarf leaves, dwarfing 1 to 3, strong and sturdy growth, green plants, and more beautiful plants.

Disease prevention and cure

Freesia is susceptible to diseases and insect pests, and then the rotting plants wither. Use less chemical fertilizer and apply more organic fertilizer, watering the right amount to maintain a ventilated and dry environment.

The key point of freesia planting is the growth environment and water and fertilizer management, the above is a detailed explanation of cultivation methods, so you must pay attention to planting, otherwise it will lead to low survival rate of freesia.

A brief discussion on the main points of controlling the overgrowth of fragrant Cymbidium (freesia) Champagne is beautiful and has a strong fragrance of flowers, so many flower friends use it as a family potted plant, and now many people like to grow their own fragrant cymbidium, so that fragrant cymbidium has a greater sense of achievement when it blooms. In addition, fragrant snow orchid is easy to grow in vain, and it is extremely difficult to control the plant type. All flower friends who have planted have the experience. Some friends soak the bulbs with Dwarf before planting, while others cultivate fragrant orchids as high as half a meter. There are a variety of ways to build shelves and tie them up, which affect their appearance. This article focuses on introducing the methods of controlling the growth of vanilla for your reference and study. The principles to prevent fragrant snow orchids from growing are: deep planting, strict water control, more sun exposure, and proper cold resistance. Specifically, there are the following five elements. First, the planting time depends on the temperature. When to plant sweet cherry should depend on the local air temperature. Through observation for many years, the author thinks that it is more suitable to plant fragrant sherry when the daily maximum temperature is 20 ℃. If you plant too early, sweet cherries sprout quickly and easily grow in vain. If the planting temperature is higher than 20 ℃, the seed ball can also be buried in the soil and not watered for the time being. When planting sweet cherry, the bulbs should be arranged at equal distance so that they will be neat and beautiful in the future. It is suggested that the small seed bulb should be placed on the periphery and the large seed bulb in the middle, because the stem and leaf of the big seed bulb will be higher in the future, which is easy to lodge, and the relatively short plants in the periphery can play a supporting role. After planting, many friends have such a mentality: looking forward to seeing the buds emerge as soon as possible, and expecting the seedlings to grow up quickly. In fact, it may be a good thing for Xiang Xuelan to sprout slowly. Some of my bulbs do not sprout until a month after planting (be sure to ensure ventilation), and they can still grow and blossom normally in the later stage. Second, the planting should be deep and adequate base fertilizer should be applied. Planting fragrant snow orchid had better use orchid flowerpot, the seed ball can be buried about 10 centimeters. Years of planting experience shows that when planting fragrant orchids in deep pots, the plants tend to grow upright and upright, on the contrary, they may stagger and slouch. I generally prefer to apply sufficient base fertilizer before planting and mix bean cake fertilizer with plant ash, and then no longer apply fertilizer. Of course, topdressing in the later stage can also promote the growth of Xiangxue orchid, but it must be thin and fat. Third, control moisture during the growth period. Pour water once after planting, and then put the sweet cherry in a shady and ventilated place. before budding, the potted soil is still dry and wet, and then gradually increase the light after budding. During the growing period, the watering of fragrant snow orchid should strictly follow the principle of "dry and thoroughly watered", and the degree of "dry" is even more dry than that of "dry" in the general sense (the heat of which depends on the friends themselves, such as the basin soil is a little white when it is dry). The combination of "flood" and "high temperature" will cause Xiangxue orchid to grow too fast, and the seedlings are "thin", "weak" and "high". If it feels that the above adverse trend has appeared, it can be pruned properly. But pruning should not be simple and flat stubble, it is best to maintain a certain slope to make its growth tend to be natural. Pay special attention to the fact that the bud period should not be pruned. Fourth, bask in the sun. Xiangxue orchid growth period should maintain sufficient light, whether it is the golden autumn, or the cold winter months, should let them enjoy "sunbathing". Exposure to the sun is very good for slowing down growth and controlling overgrowth-slow growth leads to strong growth. It should be noted that "sunbathing" should stop at flowering, and proper shading can prolong the viewing time of flowers. Fifth, keep low temperature during the growth period. I carefully observed and tested the low temperature resistance of Xiangxue orchid last winter and tried to put it outdoors under the low temperature of minus 3 ℃. It was found that it grew well and there was no freezing injury. Generally speaking, Xiangxue orchid can withstand a low temperature of about 0 ℃, resulting in a lower and stronger plant type. Conclusion: the above is the introduction of the methods to control the growth of fragrant snow orchid. I hope you can exchange more maintenance experience of fragrant snow orchid.
