Because of its long flowering period, the western cuckoo is loved by breeders all over the world. Its flowers are very bright, as red as a flame, the flowers are also very luxuriant, the branches and leaves are very dense, and if they are potted, they are like a big rose. So how should this kind of flower be cultivated? Next, Shuai Shuai will tell you about the breeding methods of western cuckoos.

I. Culture methods

1. Fertilizer

During its growth, fertilizer will be applied to it every half a month, and its roots are relatively thin, so it can not stand too thick fertilizer. It is suggested that only nitrogen fertilizer be applied, and do not buy thick fertilizer, otherwise the root system of the plant will not be absorbed, and if it is heavy, it will burn roots. During the period after flowering, nitrogen fertilizer should be applied as far as possible. In order to make it grow more sturdy, phosphorus and potash fertilizer should be applied during flowering, which can make the flowers look better. Fertilization can be stopped when the temperature is below 15 degrees in winter and above 35 degrees in summer, because beyond that temperature range, the plant will go dormant.

2. Watering

Watering time is two o'clock every day, one thing is around 10:00 in the morning, the second is around 9 o'clock in the evening, it can not be watered at noon when it is hot, especially during the period from noon to 2 pm, the temperature is the highest, watering during this period will damage the roots, flowers will also be hurt, should be watered thoroughly, if it is not dry, do not add water, be sure to wait until dry before watering Probably every two or three days watering, but when flowering can not be watered too much, otherwise flowers quickly, the summer weather is relatively dry and hot, watering about twice a day, rainy days can hardly be watered, flowerpots should also be watered around, this can strengthen the humidity in the air, when there are more rainy days, we should pay attention to drainage, do not let the basin soil accumulate water, avoid rotting roots When autumn comes, the water will evaporate very quickly and should be watered frequently.

3. Lighting

Western cuckoos do not have high requirements for light, but they must receive enough light during the day to meet about six hours of light every day. If the summer sun is too strong, they can move back indoors to prevent burns. You can just put it indoors to receive light in winter, and you don't have to put it outside, such as a balcony.

II. Points for attention

1. The fastest growing time is from April to June every year, and April to June is the best growing season.

2. For the soil, it is necessary to choose the soil with strong air permeability and good drainage, and the soil fertility should keep up with that, the more fertile the soil is, the better, but the thick fertilizer should not be applied to ensure that the acidity and basicity of the soil is maintained between 5-5.5. Try to choose acidic soil.

3. The western cuckoo likes a humid environment, especially in the growing period, which is in summer and autumn. If the weather is very dry, it is necessary to spray water around to maintain humidity. Preferably between 70% and 90% humidity.

4. It likes to keep the temperature at 12-25 degrees. If it is from April to September, it should be kept at 18 to 25 degrees, and it should be relatively ventilated and ventilated. If it can be shaded during the flowering period, it can greatly prolong the flowering time.

These are the breeding methods and matters needing attention of the western cuckoo. If the flowering period of the western cuckoo is good, it can be greatly prolonged. We should grasp its growth environment and habits, and make more efforts in several aspects such as fertilization and watering. Plants need a good growth environment to grow well.
