What is the problem of golden bract flower curling? there are three main causes / attached solutions.

Although the golden bract flower is famous for its yellow bracts and white florets, its leaves are also very good-looking. The oval leaves are bright green all the year round, and the veins above are very obvious, but if they are not properly maintained, the leaves will curl. So what's the matter with golden bract curling? There are mainly the following reasons.

What's going on with the golden bracts?

According to the planting experience of flower friends, there are three main reasons for the curl of golden bract leaves, which are caused by water shortage, drought, malnutrition, diseases and insect pests, so in order to solve this problem, we need to start from these three aspects. combined with the usual maintenance habits to adjust maintenance methods.

The solution to the winding of Golden Bract Flower

1. Lack of water and drought

Reason: Golden bract is a plant that likes a high humid environment, it has higher requirements for humidity, and it also has a greater need for water. During the growing period, it is necessary to ensure that the soil is moist, and the humidity is about 80%. If less watering will cause leaf dehydration, resulting in curling.

Method: the curling phenomenon often occurs in summer, because of the high temperature at this time, the evaporation and consumption of water is very fast, so it can not be watered every 3-5 days as in spring, but once every 1-2 days, and it is often necessary to spray water on the leaf surface to improve humidity. The specific method can refer to the detailed introduction in how to water the golden bract flower.

2. Malnutrition

Reason: under normal circumstances, if the soil used for planting golden bracts is a mixture of rotten leaf soil, river sand, vermiculite and so on, coupled with reasonable fertilization, its leaves are very good-looking, on the contrary, if the soil is barren and fertilizes too little, golden bracts will roll because of lack of nutrition.

Method: one of the ways to improve the poor soil is to add some base fertilizer, compound fertilizer or cow manure when planting in the pot. In addition, in the usual maintenance process, a reasonable supplement of fertilizer is needed, such as applying thin fertilizer and water once every 2-3 weeks during the growing period.

3. Caused by diseases and insect pests

Reason: some diseases and insect pests will harm the roots of the plant, causing root decay and damage, so that the roots can not absorb nutrients and water normally, and then lead to the lack of necessary nutrients in the leaves, such as root rot is one of them. When it occurs, it mainly harms the roots, so it is often difficult to find.

Methods: diseases and insect pests are mainly caused by soil without disinfection, the environment is too closed and unventilated, humidity or temperature is too high, the solution lies in prevention and treatment, prevention is mainly to disinfect the soil, and to ensure environmental ventilation, treatment should be sprayed with mancozeb and other solutions.

A nickname for golden bracts.

Golden bract flower has many nicknames, such as beautiful bract flower, flower leaf jade wood, yellow shrimp flower, golden bud shrimp dress flower, shrimp flower, shrimp flower, coral bed, gold and silver, golden pagoda, golden treasure tower flower and so on.

Golden bracts and its flowers

Golden bracts are native to Mexico, Peru and South America. There are two main varieties, one with purple bracts and the other with yellow bracts. Golden bracts are usually yellow, spikelike inflorescences, with layered bracts and white florets.

The flowering period of golden bracts is relatively long, and the life span of flowers is also very long, up to several weeks. The height of plants raised by families is generally about 1 foot.

Growth habits of Flos Lonicerae

Golden bracts like the growth environment of high temperature and high humidity, which requires plenty of light, but it can also be shady. The growth temperature is better at 18 ℃-25 ℃, and should be kept above 5 ℃ in winter. The soil needs to be fertile and well drained.

How to fertilize golden bracts, two key points / four skills need to be mastered / attached fertilization methods

Although the golden bract flower entered China relatively late, it soon became very popular, because it plays a very important role, so more and more people raise it. If you want to raise it well, you need to know how to cultivate it. Among them, fertilization is a very important point. How to apply fertilizer? The editor came to tell you the specific fertilization skills.

How to fertilize Golden Bract Flower

⑴, point 1: the concentration of fertilizer should not be too high. It is better to apply it more times than to avoid burns to the roots due to too high concentration. This is also the technique of applying thin fertilizer frequently. You can use thin fertilizer and water each time to dilute the fertilizer and then use it.

⑵, point 2: fertilization should be adjusted according to growth and climate change, especially temperature has a great impact on fertilization, because it affects the growth of golden bracts, so fertilization can not be a method all year round, which is very similar to watering.

Fertilization methods of Golden Bract Flower

1. The period of vigorous growth

Fertilization in this period, usually once every 15-20 days, keep in mind that the concentration can not be too high, then when is the golden bract flower growth period? It grows fastest when the temperature is between 16 and 28 degrees, usually from April to May and from September to October.

2. Before flowering

When the flower bud differentiation, the flower bud will begin to gestate, this process is also a key stage of bud formation, we can add 0.2% potassium dihydrogen phosphate solution when fertilizing, its function is to make the flower color more bright, and when the flower blooms, it can also increase the application of phosphorus and potassium fertilizer, so that the number of flowers more.

3. Fertilization in summer

Generally speaking, when the temperature is above 30 degrees, the growth of golden bracts begins to slow down, but when the temperature is higher than 35 degrees, its growth is basically stagnant. How to apply fertilizer at this time? At this time, it is necessary to stop fertilization and take timely cooling measures to help golden bracts through the midsummer.

4. Late autumn and winter

We not only need to keep warm in winter, but also need to stop fertilizing, because the temperature below 10 degrees will enter the dormancy period, and the demand for fertilizer is very low, but we can apply a compound fertilizer at the end of autumn. its function is to improve the cold tolerance of golden bracts and reduce the possibility of frostbite in winter.

Matters needing attention in fertilization of Golden Bract Flower

1. When applying fertilizer, fertilizer and water must not be directly sprinkled on the leaves of golden bracts, otherwise it may cause diseases and insect pests. It and spraying water are two completely different concepts. Flower friends must pay attention to this when applying fertilizer.

2. When we find that golden bracts also show signs of yellowing, we can add some green alum, that is, ferrous sulfate, to the fertilizer and water, which can improve the yellowing of leaves, but this is only a skill. The real cause of yellowing still needs to be investigated by flower friends according to their usual maintenance habits.
