How to raise the golden bracts, the breeding methods and precautions / temperature should not be too low.

Golden bract is native to Peru, but it was soon loved by many flower friends after it was introduced by China in the 1980s. The main reason is that it has many functions. It can not only watch but also edify sentiment and adjust mood. But how can golden bracts grow better? Let's take a look at the breeding methods and points for attention of Golden Bract Flower.

How to raise golden bracts

Because the golden bract is a plant born in Peru and Mexico, it likes the climate of the tropical rainforest of South America, especially the climate of high temperature and high humidity. Like the temperature of 16-28 degrees, cold resistance is not strong, so in winter to do a good job of heat preservation, the soil is like the type of fertile drainage.

Culture methods and matters needing attention of Golden Bract Flower

1. Soil

Golden bracts are often planted as potted plants in the north. The selection of soil should be based on the principle of loose, fertile and containing a lot of humus, and can be made from a mixture of peat soil, peat wood, vermiculite, river sand and so on. If you want to increase the fertilizer efficiency of the soil, you can also add mature base fertilizer.

Note: although peat soil, vermiculite and so on are the most suitable soils for growing golden bracts, florists can actually raise them with ordinary soil or buy culture soil from a professional florist, no matter what soil they choose. The most basic requirements are good drainage, looseness and ventilation.

2. Temperature

The suitable growth temperature of different plants is different, for example, violets like cold climate, but golden bracts like warm climate, the best growth temperature is 16-28 degrees, when the temperature is lower than 10 degrees or higher than 30 degrees, the growth will be affected, so we should pay attention to heat preservation in winter.

Note: in the breeding methods and matters needing attention of golden bracts, it is best to move the flowers to indoor maintenance in winter, with a temperature of about 18 degrees during the day and at least above 10 degrees at night, if the temperature is too low, it will lead to leaf fall. and low temperature for a long time will cause root rot, plant freeze to death.

3. Lighting

When raising golden bracts, we must give it enough light, and we should let it enjoy the sunlight in spring, autumn and winter. Only when it is hot in summer, it needs a little shade, because only enough light can make it grow healthily and make it less sick.

Note: although the golden bract is also very tolerant to shade and can grow normally in a semi-shady environment, weak light will cause a problem, that is, the leaves grow steeply and do not blossom, so try not to put it in a semi-shade where there is no light.

4. Watering

The drought tolerance of golden bracts is general, so it is necessary to pay attention to timely watering, especially during the growing period, not only to keep the soil moist, but also to spray water to control humidity, so spring and autumn will be watered every 2-3 days and 1-2 days in summer.

Note: no matter when watering, we should pay attention to one important point, that is, there can be no stagnant water, which is also the most basic principle. In addition, the basin soil should be slightly moist in winter and should not be watered too frequently.

5. Fertilization

Some flower friends prefer fertilization when growing plants, but the correct way is to apply appropriate amount of fertilizer according to the growth of plants. When raising golden bracts, urea or organic fertilizer is applied once every 15-20 days during the growing period. Stop fertilizing when summer is hot and winter is too cold.

Note: do not only apply nitrogen fertilizer when fertilizing, otherwise it is easy to cause slender stems and fewer flowers. 0.2% potassium dihydrogen phosphate solution can be applied before flowering, which can make the flower color more colorful, and 1-2 times more phosphate and potassium fertilizer can be applied during flowering to make pregnant thunder more smoothly.

Pruning method of Golden Bract Flower

During the seedling period, it is necessary to pick the heart of the golden bract flower, when the seedling grows to 6 cm high, and then branches to 4 cm or so. Multiple coring can make it sprout lateral branches, control the plant height and increase the ornamental shape of the whole plant.

Culture method of golden bract flower 1. Temperature

The suitable temperature for the growth of Golden Bract is about 15 ℃-25 ℃. If the temperature is too high or too low, it is disadvantageous to its growth. If the temperature is too low, the leaves will fall off, and in severe cases, the plants will even wither and die. In winter, it should be placed in a sunny place indoors, watering should be controlled slightly, and the lowest temperature should be above 10 ℃.

2. Lighting

During the growth period, in addition to the hot summer can slightly shade, the rest of the time should be given sufficient light, in the half-sunny and half-overcast environment, although the golden bract flower can also grow better, but must not be too shaded, otherwise there will be overgrowth phenomenon, and flowering will be very late, there are very few flowers, can not achieve the desired ornamental effect.

3. Soil

The soil should be loose, fertile and contain a lot of humus, usually using peat soil, rotten leaf soil and a small amount of rotten cow manure as basic fertilizer. This can ensure that the golden bracts have a good growth environment, so as to grow healthily.

4. Fertilizer and water

During the growth period, golden bracts should not only maintain the moist state of the basin soil, but also have higher requirements for relative air humidity. Water once a day in spring and autumn, 2-3 times a day in summer, and keep the basin soil moist in winter. Organic fertilizer is usually applied every 15 days in the growing season, and should be stopped when the temperature is higher than 35 ℃ or 15 ℃ lower.

5. Pruning

The seedlings that have just survived the cuttage should be heart-picked, when the seedling height is about 6 cm and when the branches grow to about 4 cm, the buds and flowers can be pregnant and flowered on the new branches in a month. Pruning is carried out every spring.

Knowing the breeding method of Golden Bract, you must also want to know about its breeding method.

How to raise golden bracts in winter, the temperature should be controlled above 10 degrees / stop fertilizing

The golden bract comes from the tropical rain forest of South America, so in its growth habits, the requirement for the environment is high temperature and high humidity, while the winter temperature in most parts of China is relatively low, so how to raise the golden bract in winter has become a very important question. The following editor will tell you the maintenance skills of golden bract in winter.

How to raise golden bracts in winter

1. Key point 1: the temperature should not be too low. Through the culture method of Golden Bract, we know that its suitable temperature is above 15 degrees, but it can grow normally in an environment of 10-15 degrees, so the temperature can not be lower than 10 degrees in winter.

2. Key point 2: the supply of fertilizer and water should be reasonable. Fertilizing and watering golden bracts in winter is different from other seasons, because the growth rate of golden bracts is slower due to climate change, so the supply of fertilizer and water should be properly adjusted to avoid excessive adverse consequences.

Winter maintenance skills of Golden Bract Flower

1. Heat preservation

Since the golden bract is not cold-resistant, it is necessary to take good heat preservation measures for it in winter. The most commonly used way is to move it to indoor maintenance. If it is a flower friend in the southern region, the outdoor temperature can be above 10 degrees in winter, then there is no need to move it indoors. You can cover it with plastic film.

2. Lighting

Although the growth of the golden bract becomes slower after entering the winter, it still needs to be given enough light at this time, so it should be placed indoors where the sun shines, such as windows, balconies and so on, so that the leaves of the golden bracts can still be dark green and prevent the leaves from withering.

3. Golden bracts are watered in winter

In principle, keep the soil dry and water once every 7-10 days. As long as you can ensure that the soil is not too dry, you do not need to water. When watering, you also need to pay attention to the water temperature. At least let the water temperature above 10 degrees before use, so that it can be close to the room temperature and not too high.

4. Fertilization

It is necessary to stop fertilizing golden bracts in winter, if adding fertilizer at this time will cause two consequences, one is leaf withering and falling, and the other is plant root burn, the former is a slight effect, while the latter may endanger the health of the plant. therefore, it is necessary to avoid winter fertilization, the method can refer to the detailed introduction of how to apply fertilizer.
