How to raise peacock grass?

Peacock grass likes the sun, but it can blossom when planted in half-shade. It is not strict with the soil. It is not only resistant to transplanting, but also grows rapidly, and the cultivation and management is easy. The seeds scattered on the ground can grow and grow in suitable temperature and humidity conditions, so it is a kind of flower with strong adaptability. In the south of China, its flowering period is from March to May and from August to December. It takes only 70 days from sowing to flowering, raising seedlings in early spring without heating in the greenhouse, and planting courtyards, flower beds or potted plants after late frost.

(1) Light regulation

Peacock grass is a positive plant, growth and flowering require sufficient sunlight, sufficient light is also conducive to prevent plant overgrowth. Avoid direct sunlight in the hot season and cool down by shading around noon.

Temperature

Basically, malachite grass can grow well between 10 ℃ and 30 ℃, and several points that need to be noted are: the temperature in winter should be kept above 5 ℃, so that it is not easy to produce frost injury; before flowering, the temperature had better be kept between 12 ℃ and 15 ℃; during daily maintenance, the temperature had better be kept below 20 ℃ or 20 ℃.

Water and fertilizer

Water and fertilizer are very important to peacock grass. When watering, you need to make sure that the soil is dry before, and then fully water, but be careful not to be too dry. Fertilization is usually applied once every 10 days, but it needs to be reduced in the low temperature season in winter. Generally speaking, some base fertilizer should be applied first when planting, and topdressing is needed if the soil fertility is not enough.

The above is the introduction of how to raise malachite grass. Let's take a look at what else we should pay attention to.

How to raise malachite grass culture methods and matters needing attention

Peacock grass is a kind of herb introduced from abroad in our country. It takes flowers as ornamental. Generally speaking, orange is the most common flower, and its florescence is in summer every year. Now many people like to cultivate it, but before breeding, it is necessary to master some breeding skills in advance, otherwise it may lead to the poor growth of cultured peacock grass.

How to raise peacock grass

1. Malachite likes places with plenty of sunshine, and the suitable growth temperature is about 20 ℃. When breeding, we should pay attention to provide enough light time to facilitate flowering.

2. Malachite grass is relatively cold-resistant, and it will not freeze to death when the air temperature is not lower than 6 ℃, so it is not necessary to pay special attention to the temperature.

3. Watering malachite grass should be careful not to have stagnant water. Every time you water thoroughly, keep the soil moist and dry, not too wet, otherwise it will affect the growth of malachite grass.

4. When breeding peacock grass, an appropriate amount of compound fertilizer can be added to the soil, and when growing in the later stage, it is found that the fertilizer is not enough to increase fertilizer.

5. It is relatively easy to breed malachite grass, and there will not be too many diseases and insect pests, but moth larvae may eat the leaves when they are young, and spray them in time when they are found.

6. The propagation of malachite depends on seeds. After each flower matures, it will produce a lot of seeds. If it is planted in the soil next spring, it will grow.

Culture methods of malachite grass

1. Light. Peacock grass is a plant that likes light, and it needs plenty of sunlight when raising it. Generally in spring and autumn can meet the needs of peacock grass for light, but should pay attention to avoid direct sunlight in hot summer, but also shade at noon, but do not over-shade.

2. Temperature. Basically, malachite grass can grow well between 10 ℃ and 30 ℃, and several points that need to be noted are: the temperature in winter should be kept above 5 ℃, so that it is not easy to produce frost injury; before flowering, the temperature had better be kept between 12 ℃ and 15 ℃; during daily maintenance, the temperature had better be kept below 20 ℃ or 20 ℃.

3. Water and fertilizer: water and fertilizer is very important to peacock grass. When watering, you need to make sure that the soil is dry before, and then fully water, but be careful not to be too dry. When fertilizing, it is usually possible to apply fertilizer once every 10 days, but it needs to be reduced in the low temperature season in winter. Generally speaking, some base fertilizer should be applied first when planting, and topdressing is needed if the soil fertility is not enough.

Matters needing attention in the culture of malachite grass

1. Generally speaking, when the young seedlings of malachite grass grow to 2 10--15cm 3 leaves, they need to be poted. Flowerpots with diameters between the pots can be used, and basically there is no need to change pots after potting.

2. Diseases and insect pests the common disease of malachite grass is root rot, which can be controlled by root irrigation with methyl topiramate. Insect pests are mainly red spiders. The propagation of malachite grass is generally carried out by sowing and cutting. Sowing takes place between November and March. Cutting propagation can be carried out between June and August.

How to control the florescence of malachite

1. The flowering time of malachite grass is controlled by adjusting the sowing date. The easiest way to control the florescence of peacock flowers is to control the date of sowing and the time of cutting, calculate the time spent, and then decide when to sow and cut. If you choose to sow and reproduce, you can blossom in 70-80 days after sowing in spring. If you need to blossom ahead of time, you can put it in a greenhouse and blossom before May.

2. The flowering period of malachite grass is controlled by controlling sunshine. The adaptability of malachite is extremely strong. From May Day, malachite blossoms one after another, and it will not end until National Day holiday, so you can also choose to sow in summer. Moreover, peacock grass is a short-day flower, shorter sunshine conditions can be conducive to flowering, so shortening sunshine can make it blossom earlier when it is still a seedling.

In fact, the breeding method of peacock grass is not difficult, we can generally start from its growth habits, in breeding, we must pay attention to its light, fertilizer and water and other problems. In the process of breeding, you can also use some skills to control its florescence, there is a detailed introduction above, we can pay more attention to it.
