Matters needing attention in breeding Qionghua

When sowing and breeding, we should carefully select the substrate, and the factors we need to consider are whether it is fertile and whether the drainage performance is good or not. And we should also do it in a semi-shaded environment and be careful not to be exposed to too much light. The time of reproduction is better in the early spring, so the survival rate is higher. Apply more fertilizer and water in time.

What kind of flower is Qionghua? Culture methods and matters needing attention of Qionghua

Qionghua, also known as Jueight Immortals, Woody Hydrangea, etc., is a semi-evergreen shrub of the genus Ninjuriaceae, with flowers as large as jade pots, surrounded by eight large five-petal flowers in a week, surrounded by a white pearl-like flower in the middle, surrounded by a mass of butterfly-like stamens, like butterflies playing beads in the breeze, and dancing like eight Immortals, immortal and attractive.

More hardy, can adapt to the general soil, good born in moist and fertile places. The growth is exuberant, the germination ability and tillering ability are strong, and the seeds have the habit of germination every other year. Produced in southern Jiangsu, western Anhui, Zhejiang, northwest Jiangxi, western Hubei and southern Hunan. Born in hills, under forests on hillsides or in thickets. Gardens are also often cultivated.

In June of that year, some sprouted and unearthed, at this time can uncover the grass to shade, leave the bed for 2 years to change the bed for planting, 4-5 years for transplanting for garden beautification.

2. Grafting: Qionghua is grafted at the beginning of March (before the bud sprouts), take the branches of the mother tree that can blossom, cut off a section about 5 cm long as the scion, leave the top bud is more ideal, generally use the high grafting method. Place in shade after grafting, wait for the buds of the scion to sprout leaves, and then directly put in the sun, it can blossom in the first year after survival.

Culture methods of Qionghua

1. Soil: Qionghua has strong adaptability, sandy soil, clay and general soil can be cultivated, and the roots of seedlings cultivated with sandy soil are well developed.

2. Transplanting: Qionghua transplanting is easy to survive, which is carried out before germination in early spring, and the semi-overcast environment is the better. attention should be paid to fertilizer and water management after survival.

3. Fertilization: Qionghua should be fertilized with thin fertilizer frequently, leaf yellow can be sprayed with 1max 1000 ferrous sulfate solution, and should be fertilized once after flowering.

4. Pruning: the main branch of Qionghua is easy to sprout and grow, which disturbs the shape of the tree. it can be pruned properly after flowering, and the tip of the overgrown branch is cut off in summer to take the shape of the whole plant.

5. Diseases and insect pests: Qionghua leaves have more fur and are generally not easy to be harmed by diseases and insect pests, but they usually need to be sprayed with Bordeaux solution during the plum rain season.

Points for attention of Qionghua

The main results are as follows: 1. Qionghua has strong adaptability and replenishes nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium fertilizer according to the principle of thin fertilizer and frequent application during the growth period.

2. Qionghua family potted plants can choose the method of sowing, or choose seedlings to plant directly.

3. Qionghua generally chooses soil balls in spring or late autumn to plant, which can improve the survival rate.

Culture methods and matters needing attention of Qionghua

Sowing method of Qionghua

The sowing time of Qionghua is usually before and after Ching Ming Festival. The seeds harvested the previous year are taken out, the outer hard shell is removed, soaked in warm water for 24 hours, and then sowed until the shell softens. Note that it is difficult for untreated seeds to emerge after sowing.

After sowing the seeds, the seedlings can generally emerge in about 1 month, and the first leaf of the seedlings can be properly shaded. It is best not to see the light at noon, lest the water evaporates too quickly, causing the seedlings to wilt.

If it is often found that the leaves are curly, but recover in the evening, it means that the weather is dry and moisture is insufficient, and water should be sprinkled frequently during the day to increase air humidity.

Every year, after the remaining flowers fade, the new flower buds differentiate. In March of the following year, the buds began to grow. Therefore, it is necessary to make a short cut after the flower fade, to shorten the branches that grow too fast, so as to avoid exposing the branches below as Qionghua grows.

With the continuous growth of Qionghua, the branches will gradually age and be re-cut at the right time. Keep 50 centimeters of stout branches, and cut off all the remaining crown branches to promote the germination of new branches.

Prevention and control of diseases and insect pests of Qionghua

The leaves of Qionghua are often yellowed in the process of culture. Pay attention to the timely supplement of phosphorus and potassium fertilizer and spray ferrous sulfate solution once a week.
