Morning glory, also known as trumpet flower, I believe we have all heard of it. I remember when I was a child, the editor often saw a trumpet-shaped flower on the side of the road at school. in fact, it was morning glory. Because the morning glory is beautiful, it has gradually become a good product of indoor breeding in recent years, so how to raise the potted morning glory? The following are the breeding methods and precautions of morning glory carefully sorted out by the editor, which you will know after reading.

First, how to raise morning glory in pots, the light should be sufficient.

In the wild, nature creates the best soil, light and water environment for morning glory, but after it is potted at home, we have to create it artificially. In addition to the necessary basin soil, watering and lighting are also essential. Potted morning glory how to raise, the specific methods are in the morning glory breeding methods and matters needing attention, we continue to look down.

II. Breeding methods and matters needing attention of morning glory

1. Good drainage of soil

How to raise morning glory, first of all, of course, is to choose the soil. Although morning glory has strong adaptability to soil, it is afraid of water and causes rotten roots, so flower friends should choose sandy soil that is well drained and dry.

Note: potted morning glory, flower friends had better be in early April, choose ordinary culture soil and plain sand soil half, which is beneficial to the growth of morning glory.

2. Get enough light.

Morning glory originally grows in the wild and has high requirements for light. Therefore, in the breeding method of morning glory, flower friends should provide morning glory with strong light, so that its photosynthesis can be trained. If conditions permit, morning glory can be illuminated for 12 hours a day, so that it may blossom all the year round.

Note: morning glory should have enough light every day, if the light is not enough, the branches and leaves are easy to grow, and the flowering quality is poor.

3. Temperature, 13-18 ℃

Morning glory likes warmth. For morning glory to grow healthily, it is best to put it in an environment with a temperature of 13-18 ℃. It is worth mentioning that morning glory can withstand a high temperature of more than 35 ℃ in summer, which is enough to show its strong vitality.

Note: morning glory is not cold-tolerant, such as less than 4 ℃, plant growth stops. So after the temperature drops in winter, flower friends should raise morning glory indoors and turn on the air conditioner if necessary.

4. Watering

No matter what kind of plant is raised, watering is essential, and watering is equally important in the breeding method of morning glory. Morning glory is not resistant to drought, so it needs to be watered thoroughly after planting, once after planting, and once every 7-10 days after planting.

Note: moisture can be increased appropriately at the initial stage of growth, but it should be kept dry about 7 days before coming out of the nursery to prevent the overgrowth of plants. In addition, morning glory watering should always follow the principle that it is not dry or watered, otherwise too much watering will easily lead to rotting roots.

5. Fertilization should not be excessive.

Morning glory likes fertilizer, if fertilized in place, it can produce luxuriant flowers. However, there is no need to apply too much fertilizer, and sufficient base fertilizer should be applied in combination with soil preparation before planting, but no more fertilizer can be applied in the future.

Note: morning glory has a long period and needs continuous nutrition in order to blossom continuously. thin fertilizer should be applied frequently in the early stage of seedling growth; potted flowers produced in winter should be frequently applied compound fertilizer from March to April, and nitrogen fertilizer should be applied appropriately according to the growth situation.

Matters needing attention in the culture of morning glory

Although in the above morning glory breeding methods, there have been many points for attention, but if you want to raise morning glory, there are still many places that need the attention of flower friends, such as pruning, diseases and insect pests and so on. To put it simply, there are the following points for attention in the culture of goldfish grass:

1. Pruning in time

Morning glory is a vine, the reproductive ability of branches and leaves is very strong, so timely pruning is very important, otherwise it will not look good. When the branches grow to 6-7 leaves, pinch off the top to ensure that the flowers are larger and bloom continuously, and can also prevent the morning glory from growing too fast and difficult to control.

2. Pest control

In the matters needing attention in the breeding of morning glory, diseases and insect pests have to be prevented. Morning glory is easy to suffer from white rust, leaves, petioles, young stems may be damaged; at the same time, morning glory is also vulnerable to aphids and other insect pests. Once found, remove the diseased plant in time to reduce infection. Specific how to do, you can take a look at morning glory pest control, which has a detailed introduction.

3. Clean water quality

Do not use fertilizer or mud water to irrigate leaves (including cotyledons) so as not to fall off. At the same time, watering should also try not to let the soil into the leaves.

4. Pinch the flowers

Morning glory blossoms only when the branches are strong, so in order to ensure the adequate supply of nutrients, large and gorgeous flowers bloom, and some buds can be removed to cultivate single flowers, just like cultivating varieties of chrysanthemum. After blooming, you should pick off the residual flowers so as not to make them as children, so as not to affect the nutrition of the next batch of flowers.

How to raise Petunia in potted Petunia cultivation methods and matters needing attention

Petunia is not the morning glory commonly known as petunia, it is a perennial herb of the genus Euphorbia. It has a long flowering period and bright flowers, so it is often used to decorate flower beds and other places. Now potted petunia is also more common, breeding methods are not very difficult, the following Xiaobian detailed introduction of petunia breeding methods and matters needing attention.

How to raise potted petunia

1. Selection of basin soil

The basin should be slightly too permeable, and the soil should be loose and slightly acidic. Petunia should be planted in clay pots with good permeability and inner diameter of 20 cm to 30 cm, with two or three plants in each basin. If planted in purple sand basin, plastic basin and porcelain basin with poor permeability, petunia can be planted with a layer of broken charcoal or hard plastic foam at the bottom of the basin to enhance air permeability and drainage and prevent rotting roots.

2. Water quantity control

Petunia likes to be wet and afraid of drought and waterlogging. It should be often watered in spring, summer and autumn, and it is better to keep the soil slightly moist when the pot soil is dry, but never waterlogging, too wet and rotting roots, too dry leaves are easy to yellow, and basin soil is not dry and slightly moist in winter. When watering in the north, it is advisable to add some ferrous sulfate (500glucon1) to the water to prevent long-term application with alkaline water, basinization of basin soil and poor growth of leaf yellow.

3. Fertilization management

Petunia like fertilizer, but also tolerate barren, such as too much fertilization too often, easy to grow and spend less. When planting or turning the basin to change the soil, you can add some bone powder or nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium compound fertilizer as the base fertilizer in the culture soil, apply a light nitrogen fertilizer about 10 days in the seedling stage, and no more nitrogen fertilizer in the bud flowering stage, otherwise it is easy to grow and lodge, and the leaves have more flowers. It is appropriate to apply nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium compound fertilizer, which is sprayed on the leaf surface once a month once a month. 0.2% potassium dihydrogen phosphate solution is sprayed to the leaf surface once a month to promote its multi-pregnant buds, flowers are more and more beautiful, and no fertilizer is applied in winter.

4. Lighting

There is plenty of sunshine and luxuriant flowers, and there is more light when you enter the house in winter. Petunia likes light, warmth and is not resistant to cold. The most suitable growth temperature is 15 ℃ to 25 ℃, except for the midsummer high temperature (more than 34 ℃) at noon, the sun should be seen more in other seasons, and the more sunshine, the more luxuriant the growth, the more flowers, should be placed in the sunny courtyard, roof garden, south or west balcony, windowsill.

Culture methods and matters needing attention of Petunia

I. Culture methods

1. Sowing and breeding. Petunia is often cultivated once a year. The sowing time depends on the time on the market, and the actual sowing time should be adjusted according to different varieties. The seeds of Petunia are small, with 9000-10000 seeds per gram and the optimum temperature for germination is 20-22 ℃. The seeds are sown in pot and sterilized with high temperature culture soil, rotten leaf soil and fine sand mixed soil. There is no need to cover the soil after sowing, it can be lightly pressed, and it will germinate in about 10 days.

2. Cuttage culture. Indoor cultivation can be carried out all the year round. After anthesis, the germinated tip shoots are cut, 10cm is grown, inserted into the sand bed, the soil temperature is 20-25 ℃, rooting takes place 15-20 days after planting, and it can be transplanted into the pot in 30 days.

3. Tissue culture. Explants use seeds, leaves and sperm-receiving rooms. Under sterile conditions, soak in 75% alcohol for 8 minutes, then soak in 0.1% mercuric chloride solution for 7 minutes, rinse with sterile water, inoculate on MS medium, and bud appear after 15 days.

When the small buds were cut and transferred to the original medium for subculture, more than 10 buds could be obtained from one bud after 20 days. The strong buds of lcm were inoculated into 1/2MS medium containing naphthalene acetic acid 0.050.2mg/L. After 10 days, 100% rooting became complete plantlets.

II. Points for attention

Petunia likes to be dry and afraid of dampness, and it needs plenty of water in the growth process, especially in the hot summer season. But Rain Water is more, the pot soil is too wet, the stems and leaves are easy to grow; the flowering period is Rain Water, the flowers are faded, perishable, and the petals are easy to tear. With long-term stagnant water in the basin, the roots often rot and the whole plant wilts and dies.

When does Petunia blossom

The florescence of petunia is very long, from spring to autumn, if the winter temperature is higher, it can also blossom. Each petunia blossoms for a long time, continuously, and can bloom continuously for 2 or 3 months.

However, the florescence will also be adjusted with the time of sowing. Usually sow in November and blossom in April; sow in January and blossom in May; sow in April and blossom in July; sow in July and blossom in September; sow in September and blossom in April of the following year.

The difference between million Little Bells and Petunia

1. The difference between flowers

Million small bell: the flower is smaller than the petunia, the Corolla is funnel-shaped, and the flower is rich in color, and the flower is shaped like a bell, so it is called "million little bell".

Petunia: the flower is larger than a million small bell, the flower is funnel-shaped, the color is white, purple or all kinds of red, inlaid with color edge.

2. The difference between leaves

Million small bolls: the leaf is smaller than the petunia, the leaf is relatively smooth, oblanceolate or narrowly elliptic, entire.

Petunia: the leaves are relatively large, the leaves are soft and oval.

3. The difference between branches

The branches of millions of small bolls are semi-lignified or even lignified, but this is not the case with petunia.

Petunia is a long-day plant, especially in a sunny environment, but it is not suitable for exposure, preferably in a semi-shady place. At the same time, petunia is not cold-resistant and will stop growing when it is less than 4 ℃. So you must pay attention to a warmer place in winter.

How to raise morning glory? Culture methods and matters needing attention of morning glory

Morning glory in the shape of a small trumpet is an unforgettable roadside flower in my memory, so it is loved by many people and becomes one of the family potted plants. So, how to raise morning glory? Next, I would like to introduce the breeding methods and matters needing attention of morning glory.

Picture: morning glory

First, the culture method of morning glory

1. Soil selection

Morning glory pot planting is best in early April, choose ordinary culture soil and plain sandy soil each half. Potted Petunia is either sowing or digging directly from the outside. Pay attention to one plant in a pot, do not hurt the root system, the root with a small amount of soil cover, can reduce the damage.

two。 Water and fertilizer requirements

Morning glory is easy to raise, as long as the environment is well lit and well ventilated, the rest is watering. If the basin soil is selected properly and the surface of the basin soil is white, it can be watered. As for fertilization, once every half a month, choose nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium compound fertilizer, pay attention to nitrogen fertilizer not too much, lest the stems and leaves are too luxuriant.

3. Timely pruning

Morning glory is a vine, the reproductive ability of branches and leaves is very strong, so after planting, it is best to set up a support. Insert a bamboo pole in the middle of the flowerpot, or put the flowerpot on the guardrail and let it grow. But this is still not enough to prune in time, when the branches grow to 6-7 leaves, pinch off the top, so as to ensure that the flowers are larger and blossom continuously, and can also prevent the lead cattle from growing too fast and difficult to control.

4. Pest control

Morning glory is easy to suffer from white rust, leaves, petioles, young stems may be damaged, the leaves will appear light green spots. Once found, remove the diseased plant in time to reduce infection. Then spray 500 times Bordeaux solution once every 10-15 days to avoid infecting other plants.

II. Matters needing attention in the culture of morning glory

1. Clean water quality

Do not use fertilizer or mud water to water the leaves, try not to let the soil into the leaves when watering.

two。 Pinch flowers

The first leaf of the vine produces axillary buds, and the second and third leaves give rise to buds ideally. When the bud differentiates, it can pinch off some of it, which is more conducive to flowering.

The above is the introduction of the breeding methods and matters needing attention of morning glory. Plant a pot of morning glory on the balcony and grow along the climbing vine, and the smell of spring will come.
