How to raise leaves and flowers

1. Basin soil

The potted soil for the cultivation of leaf flowers should be loose, well drained and water-holding. The humus-rich decaying leaf soil is usually used in the preparation of basin soil.

2. Planting

Newly planted plants should be placed in a semi-shady environment for a week, and then moved to a sunny place after the root system recovers its absorptive capacity.

3. Lighting

The growth of leaf flower needs enough light, so it should be placed in a sunny place during the growing period.

4. Temperature

The most suitable temperature for the growth of leaf flower is 10-15 ℃, and the lowest temperature is not less than 3 ℃, otherwise it will damage its branches. Therefore, our leaf flowers had better be kept in a ventilated and sunny place.

5. Watering

Ye Zihua likes water but avoids stagnant water, so we should pay attention to it when watering. If the soil is not dry, we will not water it.

6. Fertilization

The amount of fertilizer also varies from season to season. We should apply more fertilizer in spring and summer and reduce the amount of fertilizer in autumn and winter.

7. Shaping and pruning

Leafy peanuts grow strongly, so they need to be reshaped and pruned every year, cutting off dense branches, dry and withered branches, diseased and weak branches, etc., to promote new branches.

According to this method, we can not only grow leaf flowers, but also grow very beautiful leaf flowers. If we can be more careful about the requirements of watering and fertilizing, we will certainly be able to grow beautiful leaf flowers. Do you want to know the value of your own leaf flowers?

Flower bonsai net flower maintenance column: how to raise leaf flowers will introduce you to the breeding methods of leaf flowers and the control of diseases and insect pests.

Leaf flowers (triangular flowers, Pueraria lobata), also known as triangular flowers, chamber flowers, Pueraria lobata, he Chunhong and other purple jasmine families [ornamental value] warm evergreen climbing shrubs, potted shrubs, leaves alternate ovate, flowers born at the tip of stick-shaped branches, blooming in April to May, but if the temperature is 28 ℃, they can bloom all year round, with every three florets wrapped in large purple bracts. Varieties are red bracts, brick red bracts, orange bracts and purple bracts, all very bright and beautiful, suitable for balcony potted, used as scaffolding, hedgerows and cut flowers.

[leaf flower habits] like warm, sunny, loose and fertile soil, and will not freeze to death when the dormant period is more than 5 ℃ in winter. [key points of leaf flower cultivation] (1) in spring and summer, enrich the branches, cut them into 10 ~ 12 cm long, insert them into half of the sandy soil, take root in 20 days at 28 ℃, put them into pot after 1 month, and blossom in the second year. (2) the basin soil should be mixed with fine sand and base fertilizer, with a diameter of 25cm and a depth of 20cm. The basin soil should not be full, 3 ~ 5 cm below the mouth of the basin. (3) the basin soil should be watered as soon as it is dry. The leaf color of the plant becomes lighter and the leaf shape becomes thinner, so the thin fertilizer solution should be applied immediately. (4) the coring should be carried out in summer and autumn, and the overdense branches and top branches should be trimmed. Because strong new branches will occur after pruning.

The Propagation method of how to raise Leaf Flower

Leaf flower, also known as triangular flower, is a rattan shrub, will climb and grow, is very suitable for family breeding of green plants. How to raise leaves and flowers? Next, let's take a look at the answer and how to reproduce the leaf flower.

How to raise leaves and flowers

1. Soil

The cultivation of leaf flower requires loose, fertile and well-drained slightly acidic soil, which can generally be mixed with rotten leaf soil, peat soil, garden soil and sandy soil, plus a small amount of rotten cake fertilizer or bone powder.

2. Lighting

Leaves like light, like strong light, if lack of light or long-term shaded environment will lead to weak growth of new branches, dim or shedding leaves, no flowering or less flowering. Therefore, in addition to the seedlings in the new pot can be put in a semi-shaded place to prevent death, and the seedlings should be maintained in a sunny place after they grow up.

3. Watering

Due to the exuberant growth, leaf flowers should not only keep up with nutrition, but also have adequate water supply, especially in summer, which needs to be watered once every morning and evening, and once every evening in spring and autumn. But in winter, due to the low temperature, the plant is in a semi-dormant state, watering should grasp the principle of not drying and watering, otherwise the root is easy to rot.

4. Fertilization

Leaf flower plants grow rapidly, like fertilizer, and require adequate nutrition supply. therefore, in addition to changing pots every 1-2 years, combined with soil change and adding new nutritious soil, liquid fertilizer is often applied during the growth period. generally, the concentration of rotten cake fertilizer should not be too high, thin fertilizer should be applied frequently, and 2-3 times of quick-acting phosphate fertilizer should be applied before flowering, or extra-root topdressing should be carried out to ensure the nutritional needs of flowering. After each fertilization, it is necessary to irrigate the water and loosen the soil in time, otherwise it is easy to cause rotten roots or leaves to turn yellow. Fertilization should be stopped in winter.

5. Pruning

The leaf flower is a vine, and the vine can grow more than 10 meters, which is suitable for vertical greening. Cultivation in the south often makes it droop and grow, that is, heart picking is carried out at the seedling stage to promote branches, and each plant leaves 3-5 germinating branches to make it droop and grow, and flowers can be accumulated on the overhanging branches soon.

Potted plants in the north need to be pruned in order not to grow into a vine. After flowering, dense branches, slender branches and overgrown branches were cut off from the base of the plant, and the retained branches were left about 30 cm long before cutting off the top shoots, and all lateral branches were cut short to promote the germination of new branches. It can also be trimmed into a spherical crown to increase ornamental. For the old branches that have grown for 5-6 years, they should be renewed and rejuvenated to make the plants beautiful and healthy.

The Propagation method of Leaf Flower

The cuttage method is usually used to propagate leaf flowers, which can be carried out from May to August. When cutting, choose the Lignification branches after flowering as cuttings, cut them into small segments of 15 cm long, and insert them into the cutter. Keep the cuttage moist, the cuttings adapt to the temperature of about 25 ℃, about 1 month can take root. In order to promote the rooting of cuttings, 2 × 10 indolebutyric acid could be used to treat cuttings.

One month after rooting, it is appropriate to plant 1-3 plants in each pot, pay attention to shade, give sufficient light after slow seedling, and enter normal management, generally blossom in the second year.
