Cyclamen home care methods

Cyclamen is very popular with the broad masses of consumers because of its beautiful appearance, strange shape, bright color and charming fragrance. People often like to put a basin of cyclamen in the living room, which has the beautiful meaning of cyclamen. Cyclamen family maintenance should pay attention to the following aspects:

1. Matrix: cyclamen is afraid of waterlogging, and the substrate needs slightly acidic soil with loose air permeability and good drainage. Peat and perlite are used as the mixed substrate for cultivation. It can also be cultivated with rotten leaf soil and slag ash. When the substrate is cultivated, it is necessary to do a good job of disinfection and sterilization to prevent quenching, root rot and so on.

2, temperature: cyclamen likes a warm environment, can not bear high temperature and cold, the highest temperature should not exceed 30 degrees Celsius, otherwise it will enter a dormant state, the high temperature of about 35 degrees Celsius is perishable. It is best to keep it between 10 and 20 degrees Celsius in winter. When it is below 5 degrees Celsius, growth is inhibited, leaves curl, flowers bloom poorly, and the color is dim. In summer, it should be placed in a moist and ventilated place, and the basin soil should be kept in a dry state to make it fully dormant over the summer.

3. Humidity: cyclamen likes a humid environment and is not resistant to dryness. It needs to be kept between 60-70% humidity during the growth period, which can make the leaves dark green and glossy. In winter, it can not be placed in the position where heating and air conditioning can be contacted directly to prevent wilting and withering due to air drying. Avoid flowers when spraying water to prevent flowers from withering ahead of time. The water temperature should be close to room temperature.

4. Illumination: cyclamen needs sufficient light in the growing period in order to blossom for a long time and its color is bright. Placed in the semi-shade can only be enjoyed for a short time, but also to avoid the shady environment, otherwise the leaf color and flower color will fade, the plant will be weak, and in serious cases, it will be difficult to recover until it decays and dries up.

Purchase tips: seed balls should be purchased from August to September. Bulbs with a diameter of more than 4 cm and full central leaf buds and flower buds should be selected. If you buy potted flowers, you can buy them from November to February. Potted flowers with strong plants, green and thick leaves, clear patterns, no wrinkles, no crimping, more than 10 unfolded leaves and more flower buds at the tip of the corm (the bud tip is round papillae) should be selected. Basic habits like warm, cool and humid environment. Temperature, the suitable temperature for K growth is 10-20 ℃, the growth is slow below 5 ℃, freezing injury will occur at 0 ℃, growth stops above 30 ℃, and it is in a dormant state. Light, like light, under 28 ℃ to bask in the sun as much as possible. Moisture, keep the basin moist but not too wet to prevent rotting roots. Soil, neutral soil of Pavo, pH 6, Mel 7. Fertilizer, nitrogen fertilizer should not be too much. But the cyclamen special fertilizer sold on the market shall be used according to the instructions. It can also be used in combination with compound fertilizer particles with nitrogen: phosphorus: potassium = 20:20:20 and potassium dihydrogen phosphate foliar fertilizer. Cultivation points: November to March: cyclamen flowering period. Potted flowers should be placed in front of the south window or 1 meter in front of the south closed balcony where the light can be seen. Keep the basin soil moist at room temperature above 10 ℃ and water 1% once a month. Potassium dihydrogen phosphate foliar fertilizer can blossom continuously. In a room without heating facilities, you should pay attention to prevent low temperature and cold wind. You can cover it with a transparent plastic bag in a basin and put it in a warm and bright place. When the temperature is high, you should open the plastic bag to get some air. It can blossom from February to March. April to May: the flowering period is coming to an end, so cut off the residual flowers as soon as possible and gradually put them in the outdoor sun. Water 1% once a week. With the compound fertilizer solution, the new leaves will grow quickly, the old leaves will fall off, and the corms will grow larger. If aphids occur, you can use brushes or cotton swabs dipped in water brushes to eliminate; if leaves are found to shrink and turn yellow, carbofuran 1g can be buried along the edge of the basin to eliminate root-knot nematodes. June: water and fertilizer management is the same as May. Keep it in the shade when the temperature is high. Some potted flowers fall their leaves and enter dormancy after flowering until September. At this time should be placed in a cool and ventilated place, keep the basin soil slightly wet, do not fertilize. July to August: the north enters the high temperature season, so water and fertilizer should be controlled. Undormant plants should be placed on the east or north balcony, bask in the sun for more than an hour every morning, or in the shade of trees. At this time, new leaf buds and flower buds grow at the top of the bulb. In case of rot (Botrytis cinerea), 1000 times of chlorothalonil wettable powder can be sprayed and irrigated. September: dormant bulbs begin to sprout. The old plants of more than two years can be changed, and the newly purchased bulbs can also be planted at this time. When planting, first pad 2cm thick charcoal slag or ceramsite, coarse gravel at the bottom of the basin, and then add culture soil. The old plant should be planted with soil. After planting, the potted surface should be high in the center and low around it. The bulb should be exposed to the soil at 1 / 2. Water should be thoroughly watered the next day and maintained in a shady place. The light can be increased after the new buds grow. October: enter the vigorous growth period, should be maintained in the sun. Use 1% a week. The compound fertilizer solution was poured once, and 1% o potassium dihydrogen phosphate foliar fertilizer was sprayed once. Frosts Descent entered the house before and can blossom in November. Aquaculture is generally sown and farmed. Disinfect the soil before sowing, avoid light after sowing to seedling emergence, seedling emergence takes more than a month, seedling growth is slow, and it takes more than a year to blossom. It is best to buy potted flowers sold by reputable florists directly, which can save a lot of trouble when planting. Objective evaluation of the advantages: beautiful flowers; long florescence. Disadvantages: fear of heat; basin soil should not be too wet (dry is better); do not like fat. Cyclamen family pot maintenance and management methods and skills, as well as the introduction of matters needing attention

Cyclamen is a common herbaceous flower, which can be cultivated not only in water, but also in soil. It has high ornamental value and certain decorative function, and is deeply loved by many flower friends. So, do you know what are the maintenance and management methods of cyclamen family potted plants? Today, the editor will give you a detailed introduction.

1. Seed selection: select seeds, select full, glossy brown seeds without diseases and insect pests, soak the seeds collected that year in the mixture of 50ppm's GA3 (gibberellin) and 500ppm's methyl thiophanate or chlorothalonil for one day and night, then control clean water, rinse clean in clean water, and control water to dry off the surface. Then sow the seeds and blossom about 10 days earlier than the unsoaked seeds.

two。 Potted soil: cyclamen requires fertile, well-drained slightly acidic soil. If the soil is not managed or managed scientifically for a long time, cyclamen will grow poorly, blossom less, lose its color, and reduce or lose its ornamental value. It is better to plant with loose and fertile nutritious soil. Organic fertilizers such as rotting heat and thin human and animal feces and urine are applied every 10 days or so; after budding, 0.1% potassium dihydrogen sulfate is applied twice.

3. Temperature: the most suitable temperature for growth is about 15 ℃. The suitable temperature for growth and flower bud differentiation is 15 ℃ 20 ℃, humidity 70%-75%; winter flowering temperature should not be lower than 10 ℃; if the temperature is too low, the flower color is dim and easy to wither; if the summer temperature reaches 28 ℃, the plant is dormant, and when the temperature is above 30 ℃, cyclamen leaves will yellowed and fall off, flowers fade and have no ornamental value, and if it reaches more than 35 mol, the tuber is easy to rot. At this time, put the plant on the well-ventilated north balcony or under the eaves or under the porch or under the rain shelter, stop fertilization, control watering, and keep the basin soil moist. If it is dry for a long time, it will make the root system dry and necrotic, and the corm will shrink and lose water and die.

4. Watering: when cyclamen enters dormancy in summer, it is necessary to reduce the watering of dormant bulbs, pour enough water after pots and discs in autumn, and gradually increase fertilizer and water, keep the soil moist, and reduce water in winter. Do not make water on flower buds and tender leaves when watering, so as not to rot and affect flowering. The watering time should be 10: 00 am, 10: 00 am, and 12: 00 am, and the water temperature and substrate temperature should be as close as possible.

5. Fertilization: cyclamen is also a fertilizer-loving plant. First of all, we should start with the soil. The soil in the flowerpot should take fertile sand loam with more humus, change the basin soil once a year, and apply 2 ‰ potassium dihydrogen phosphate once a year in spring and autumn. Do not apply high-nitrogen fertilizer, can bloom 15-20 days ahead of time. Fertilizer during the growing period should generally be applied with thin fertilizer, liquid fertilizer must be fully rotten and fermented, and fertilization should be carried out on a sunny day. Stop or apply less from June to August, after late August, the weather is getting cooler and the growth is prosperous. Fertilizers containing phosphorus and potassium can be applied every 7 to 10 days to promote flowering and flourishing in the future. when applying fertilizer, we should pay attention to prevent the fertilizer liquid from flooding the bulb so as not to cause rot.

6. Pest control: cyclamen has more diseases than pests, and it is common in family maintenance: ① gray mold. The main symptom is that the lesion has a small spot with a diameter of 1-2 mm, and then gradually expands and shows brown rot. When the petiole or flower stalk is infected, the leaf or flower folds upside down, and there is a gray mildew layer in the lesion, which turns into a yellowish mildew layer, which is caused by high humidity and poor ventilation. The first is timely ventilation to reduce air humidity; the second is to remove diseased leaves in time to reduce the source of infection; the third is to spray Dysen zinc, carbendazim and other broad-spectrum fungicides. ② soft rot. It was mostly caused by bacterial infection, and the disease site showed softening and decay, and the occurrence site was more common in the corm. Mainly matrix disinfection is not complete or no disinfection, high temperature or high humidity is easy to occur. Control methods can be sprayed with agricultural streptomycin or carbendazim and so on.

7. Cyclamen reproduction: cyclamen reproduction, generally using sowing methods, sowing 40 or 50 days after sowing can be germinated. When transplanting, the soil should be added with a small amount of organic fertilizer, and the top of the ball should be exposed to the soil when planting. After careful cultivation, it can blossom in late December. The flowers bloom more and more and can bloom until the end of April. After the flowers bloom, the leaves begin to fall in June. At this time, it is necessary to reduce irrigation and go into dormancy completely in July. If the summer dormancy is good, the winter flowers bloom luxuriantly and brightly.

8. Lighting: prolong the lighting conditions cyclamen like the sun, prolong the lighting time, can promote its early flowering, therefore, cyclamen should be placed in a sunny place for maintenance. ??

9. Hormone treatment: when the young buds of cyclamen appear, gently spray 1 mg / kg gibberellin on the buds, spray 1 mg / kg of gibberellin 3 times a day, and blossom early for more than 15 days.
