If you don't understand, can you plant marigold on the balcony and propagate by cutting?

When the director heard his Taiwan friend ask this question, he also thought about it carefully.

The answer is: the marigold on the balcony can be propagated by cutting!

However, this requires some additional conditions, and listen to the details of the director.

If you want to propagate marigold by cuttage, you must pay attention to temperature, light and humidity.

The suitable temperature for rooting of cuttings was 18-25 ℃. If it was lower than 18 ℃, it would be difficult and slow for cuttings to take root. If it was higher than 25 ℃, the cuttings would be easily infected and rotted by pathogens.

The heat preservation measure of low temperature after cutting is to wrap the cutting flowerpot, and the cooling measure of high temperature is to shade the cuttings.

Calendula can increase humidity by spraying cuttings, but excessive spray must be prevented, otherwise it is easy to be infected by germs and rot.

Cutting propagation is inseparable from sunlight, but the stronger the light is, the higher the temperature in the cuttings is, the more exuberant the transpiration is and the more water is consumed, which is not conducive to the survival of cuttings.

Calendula is planted on the balcony

Alias: marigold, Golden Calendar, sober flower, evergreen flower.

Families and genera: Asteraceae Calendula.

Florescence: from December to June of the following year.

Habits: like the sunny environment, afraid of hot weather, more cold-resistant, lax requirements on the soil, can withstand barren and dry soil.

Cultivation methods of Calendula

Temperature / light

The suitable growth temperature is 15 ~ 25 ℃. When the summer temperature is higher than 34 ℃, the growth is obviously poor, and when the winter temperature is lower than 4 ℃, it will enter the dormancy period and even die.

Like sunshine, strong adaptability, afraid of hot weather, summer should be appropriate shade.

Watering

Water once a week in spring and autumn to keep the basin soil moderately moist.

Watering in summer is about twice a week, and plants need to be sprayed frequently.

Watering in winter is usually about once every 10 days.

Fertilizer application

After sprouting in spring, thin rotten fecal water was applied once a week, and 10 times of rotten urine was applied every 15 to 30 days during the growth period, and fertilized until the end of February.

Reproduction

Mainly sowing and propagation, often sowing in autumn or early spring in greenhouse, the optimum temperature for germination is 20: 22 ℃, and the soil cover is about 3 mm after sowing, which can germinate in about 7-10 days.

Pest control

1. The common diseases are Fusarium wilt and downy mildew, which can be controlled by spraying 65% zinc wettable powder 500 times.

two。 It is prone to rust in summer and can be sprayed with 2000 times of Weiling wettable powder.

3. Calendula is vulnerable to red spiders and aphids in early spring, which can be sprayed with 1000 times of omethoate EC.

Important hints from the station director

1. Autumn sowing is often carried out in mid-late September.

two。 When the seedlings grow 3 true leaves, transfer the seedlings for the first time, wait for the seedlings to grow 5-6 true leaves, and then plant them in a flowerpot of appropriate size.

3. Fertilizing once every half month during the growing period, sufficient fertilizer can make calendula blossom more and bigger.

4. No seeds are left during the flowering period, and the withered flowers are cut off, which is conducive to the germination of flower branches and more flowering, thus prolonging the flowering period.
