Culture methods and matters needing attention of dolphin flowers

Dolphin flowers, suitable for half-day overcast growth environment, shaded and well-ventilated places are preferred. Choose the soil medium with good drainage, it can blossom all the year round in the warm climate, but still take spring and autumn as the main flowering season. Although the semi-sunny environment is most suitable for their growth, moderate sunlight is needed. It is best to choose a cool but bright environment to receive scattered light through curtains or leaves, as well as soft direct sunlight in spring and autumn.

Because the dolphin flower is originally a plant in the mountains of southern Africa, it likes a cool climate. It is hot and muggy in summer. Pay attention to keeping it cool and ventilated, and it is best to avoid direct sunlight. It is necessary to prevent the cold damage caused by the low temperature below 10c in winter, because it can be cultivated indoors and outdoors. It is suggested that you can move into the ventilated and bright place inside the house when it is too cold in winter and too hot in summer.

Spring and autumn is the main growth period and flowering period of dolphin flowers. In addition to an appropriate amount of water supply, regular fertilization is required, and fertilization is suspended in winter and summer, and water supply is also reduced in winter. Dolphin flowers planted in stem fields can easily survive and succeed. Stemless Magnolia can be propagated by leaf insertion in the thick veins of leaves.

For the cuttings of dolphin flowers, you can choose the upper branches that are relatively thin. Of course, old branches can also be cut, but the rooting rate is slower than that of tender branches. The cutting medium is not too demanding, as long as it is loose, whether it is ordinary garden soil, rotten leaf soil, pure perlite, or perlite + peat soil can take root. The most important factor affecting the rooting rate of dolphin flower cuttings is temperature. When the temperature exceeds + degree, the rooting speed is very fast, and when it is lower than + degree, the rooting speed is very slow.

Culture method

1. Prepare culture soil

At ordinary times, when raising dolphin flowers at home, you must configure a suitable cultivation soil. This kind of plant likes loose, fertile and breathable soil. You must not choose clay soil. It is best to use peat as a three-in-one. Or add an appropriate amount of sand to the general culture soil to prepare the culture soil. Only in this way can you increase the air permeability of the soil and let dolphin Hua grow healthily.

2. Rational watering

Dolphin flowers must be watered reasonably. The leaves of dolphin flowers are fleshy, and their water content is relatively high, drought resistance is relatively strong, usually watering can not be too frequent, and trays cannot be placed at the bottom of the flowerpot, otherwise it will cause its roots to rot due to lack of oxygen. Normally, dolphin flowers can be watered every five to seven days.

3. Moderate lighting

The dolphin flower must be placed in a sunny and poetic environment. This plant likes a semi-shady environment and cannot accept strong light, otherwise it will make its leaves yellow and curly, and die in serious cases. The window sill and balcony with sufficient scattered light conditions at home are the best choice for farmed dolphin flowers.

Matters needing attention

The vitality of dolphin flower is relatively strong, and the breeding method is relatively simple, but we must pay attention to fertilization in the process of breeding, because this plant does not like thick fertilizer, so it is best to choose thin fertilizer and apply more. In addition, if you have already applied enough base fertilizer when planting, you can not apply fertilizer for as long as three or two months. Dolphin flower breeding, but also pay attention to temperature regulation, it is a tropical plant, winter must not be placed in the environment of less than 10 degrees, otherwise it will die because of the low temperature.

Introduction to the culture methods and matters needing attention of dolphin flowers (experience version)

For flower lovers in the north, dolphin flowers are relatively unfamiliar. It is elegant in shape, has a variety of colors, and has a variety of postures. It is easy to maintain and cultivate in the south. Today I would like to take you to learn about the experience of raising dolphin flowers.

Dolphins bloom from November to May or June of the following year. Dolphins do not like sunlight except in winter. Even if there is no direct sunlight throughout summer, it will not mind.

I chose a tube basin, which can be tied to a thick water pipe and kept in the corner for maintenance. This corner can not be exposed to the sun in summer, there will be two or three hours of direct sunlight in winter, dolphins like it very much.

1. Soil

Dolphins do not choose, I have tried garden soil, culture soil and that kind of cheap peat soil, it can adapt very well, but it does not like heavy clay soil, the root system does not like too wet environment, so we try to choose culture soil to grow dolphin flowers. Loose and ventilated.

two。 Fertilizer application

I have not applied fertilizer, at most in the flowering period of one or two months to follow other grass flowers to rub more fertilizer than blooming and so on, it does not care at all, fertilization does not necessarily have any special effect, because it itself is very good.

3. Watering

Dolphin flower plant water content is still quite high, so there is a lot of demand for water, try not to drought to it, it will roll leaves, not spirit. I don't like to spray water on plants, so I water the plants directly and try not to pour them on the plants. It's hard to say. Anyway, the soil is breathable, so please feel free to water it.

4. Light

In fact, as mentioned earlier, it does not like the violent sun, especially in summer, the leaves will be burned, yellowed and curled. Anyway, the dolphin flowers exposed to the sun are so ugly that they can be completely sunless for seven or eight months of the year. When it comes to its favorite winter in Guangzhou, which is also its growing season, it is no problem to bask in the sun for a few hours. Once it is found that its leaves have yellow patches, it should be removed from the sun.

Culture method

If you want to raise the effect of the bouquet above me, there is another very important thing to pay attention to: be sure to plant new branches every year! Usually at the beginning of October, you can determine the time of your cuttage according to the time when your baby dolphin begins to grow.

With a new branch, a new branch that has never been picked at the top, with a length of about ten centimeters, is planted as closely as possible. The bouquet above me is planted with ten branches. If it grows, it will grow into a big ball by itself. If you don't want to leave those old plants that have been planted for a long time, you can't have the bouquet on it. Because the old branches of dolphin flowers become woody, it is difficult to sprout new buds, and the old roots are not enough to support the rapid growth of new branches. If you want to see the flower ball, pull out the old plants and insert new ones every year, and try not to pick the top and heart, because no matter how you pick it or not, it will not split into two more branches because of your pick, and it will only make many big scars on that branch, and there is a hole in the position of that branch. If you have to pinch it, pinch it as soon as possible, and then let it grow new branches to cover up the scar. For fear of a pit, it will pinch into a ball. As long as the growth rate is the same, it will eventually become a ball.

The above are my dolphin flower culture methods and matters needing attention. I hope it can be helpful to the majority of flower friends. Please continue to pay attention to the succulent flower bed and learn more about flower conservation.
