Matters needing attention in the culture of shell flowers

Pick the heart

The shell flower needs to be enucleated in the process of growth in order to have more branches and shape a certain shape.

Diseases and insect pests

Shell peanut is relatively strong, diseases and insect pests are still relatively few, but sometimes there will be the harm of leaf miner, the need to often observe the growth of plants, timely detection of diseases, prevention and control.

Culture methods and matters needing attention of shell flower

Selection of pot soil for the culture of shell flowers

To cultivate shell flowers, you need to determine the size of the flowerpot according to the condition of the plant. If you sow seeds, you can plant 10 to 15 seeds in a flowerpot with a diameter of 15cm. The soil needs to use fertile, well-drained basin soil, not too sticky, otherwise it will affect the growth of plants, choose garden soil with good drainage.

Light and temperature

Shell flowers like the sun and prefer a warm living environment. In the maintenance process, you need to maintain sufficient light, but do not expose yourself to the sun in summer to avoid burns. The suitable temperature for growth is 15 ℃-30 ℃.

Watering and fertilizing

Shell flower needs reasonable operation in water and fertilizer management. The seeds can be watered frequently during germination, and fertilized normally after the seedlings grow and survive. Watering depends on the water shortage of shell flowers. If the soil is wet, it should be thoroughly watered. Fertilization can be applied once or twice a month, and should be stopped after flowering.

Reproduction method

The propagation of shell flowers is often carried out by sowing and reproduction, which can be carried out in spring, summer and autumn. To ensure the right temperature, germination will be relatively fast, growing to 6 leaves can be transplanted. When transplanting, it is best to transplant with soil, in order to get a good ornamental effect, can be planted in batches.

Shell flower culture method 1, flowerpot and pot soil selection

The size of the flowerpot depends on the number of seeds. The seeds are triangular. Usually 10-15 seeds can be planted in pots with a diameter of 15cm.

Shell flower is suitable for cultivation in fertile, easy to drain, loose soil, avoid clayey soil, so as not to affect the growth and slow down its growth. The cultivation soil can choose the vegetable garden soil with sufficient nutrients which is easy to drain, pour enough water, and cover the thin soil above, and the humidity of the border surface is always in the suitable range.

2. The light should be sufficient.

Shell flowers need to have enough sunlight to facilitate plant growth, and should not be exposed to the sun in summer.

3. Adequate water and fertilizer

Shell flower seed germination period can be watered once a day to ensure the seed absorption of water, at this time to put the flowerpot in a cool place, can not see the light. When the seeds germinate, the watering time is adjusted according to the soil moisture. If it is not dry or irrigated, it will be watered thoroughly.

After transplanting, more watering and fertilization is needed, and fertilizer is applied every 15 to 30 days to promote growth until the plant blossoms.

4. Ambient temperature control

The best temperature for sowing shellfish is 15-25 ℃, which is favorable for germination, and the suitable temperature for growth period is 20-30 ℃.

Points for attention in shell flower culture 1. Avoid stagnant water

In summer, we should pay attention to environmental ventilation and avoid stagnant water in the basin soil, which can avoid the emergence of rotting roots to a great extent.

2. Pick the heart

The shell flower needs to be enucleated in the process of growth in order to have more branches and shape a certain shape.

3. Pest control

Shell peanut is relatively strong, diseases and insect pests are still relatively few, but sometimes there will be the harm of leaf miner, the need to often observe the growth of plants, timely detection of diseases, prevention and control.
