How to raise goldfish flower culture technique

There are netizens to consult the goldfish flower culture technology and how to raise goldfish flower? Based on years of experience in flower culture, the author tells you in detail how to raise goldfish flowers.

Goldfish flowers originated in the tropics, like warm, humid negative environment, family care can be placed in places with bright scattered light. Summer high temperature season to pay attention to sunscreen, it is best to transfer to a cool and ventilated place for maintenance, otherwise strong sunlight can easily cause soft rot in the branches of goldfish flowers and lead to death. Winter and spring is the flowering season of goldfish flowers, then need enough sunlight, so that the flowers can be colorful.

Goldfish flowers in the vigorous growth season for more water requirements, spring, summer and autumn season to keep the basin soil moist, so that "dry see wet". Usually to maintain environmental humidity, it is best to often spray water around the flowerpot, but to avoid wetting the leaves. If you don't have time to take care of it, you can put the flowerpot in a shallow pot filled with clear water, which can effectively ensure a small range of environmental humidity. After entering winter, goldfish flowers enter the dormant period and grow slowly, so it is necessary to reduce the amount of water and keep them dry until the buds appear. After seeing the bud, you can appropriately increase the amount of water to prepare for flowering.

Goldfish flowers do not require much fertilizer and water, just apply a thin organic fertilizer and water every half a month or so. If you can increase some phosphate fertilizer before budding, you can blossom more and be colorful.

After the flowering period, the necessary pruning should be carried out to remove the withered branches of the residual flowers and truncate the branches. This can make the plant more branched, depress the whole plant, and blossom more luxuriantly in the coming year. But if you want to maintain as a hanging basin, then the appropriate truncation of branches on the line.

In the peak flowering period, a larger plant can bloom more than 100 flowers at the same time, and the flowers are colorful and spectacular, so it is an ideal plant for overhanging leaves and ornamental flowers. It is very suitable to be used as epiphytic potted plants in greenhouses and indoor gardens, as well as for family hanging and appreciation.

Culture method of goldfish flower

I. Propagation methods

Goldfish flower, also known as kangaroo flower, is a perennial evergreen herb of Gesneriaceae. The leaves are leathery, dark green and glossy, and the leaves are neatly arranged and compact. The flower color is orange, the flower shape is strange, the middle part is inflated, the two ends are small, and there is a small opening in front. Suitable for small and medium-sized potted plants or indoor suspension, corridor green decoration. The cultivation characteristics are as follows:

1. The substrate soil mixed with rotten leaf soil, stable manure and sand according to the ratio of 3 ∶ 1 ∶ 1, the pH value is 6 ~ 6.5. The thin compound fertilizer solution was applied every month, and the phosphorus and potassium fertilizer solution was applied every half month two months before flowering. Change the basin every other year.

2. The suitable temperature for growth is from 16 ℃ to 28 ℃. When the temperature is above 30 ℃, shading and ventilation should be strengthened, otherwise there will be fallen leaves, and the overwintering will be maintained at least 10 ℃.

3, shade-resistant, suitable for scattered light, avoid strong light. When the basin soil surface is dry, it can often spray water to the leaf surface and around the plant to enhance the air humidity and reduce watering in winter.

4. All weak branches, top branches and overlong drooping branches should be pruned after flowering, and the withered flower stems should be cut off from the base at the beginning of winter and kept dry, which is beneficial to the germination and growth of new flower branches in the next spring.

5, mainly by cutting propagation, can cut branches with nodes, each section of about 8 cm, the upper leaves cut off half, the lower all cut off, to maintain a semi-shady humid environment, about 30 days can take root on the basin. It can also be propagated in early spring or late autumn with 1 to 2 terminal buds per clump and 2 to 3 plants per pot.

Second, cultivation skills

1. Lighting: goldfish flowers are native to tropical areas, like warm, humid negative environment, maintenance can be placed in places with bright scattered light. Summer high temperature season to pay attention to sunscreen, it is best to transfer to a cool and ventilated place for maintenance, otherwise strong sunlight can easily cause soft rot in the branches of goldfish flowers and lead to death. Winter and spring is the flowering season of goldfish flowers, at this time you need enough sunlight to make the flowers colorful.

2. Temperature: the suitable temperature for the growth of goldfish flowers is 18-22 ℃. Avoid low temperature. If the temperature is lower than 10 ℃, the leaves will turn yellow and dry until they will defoliate with a slight vibration. In addition to low temperature, leaves will also fall if the temperature lasts more than 30 ℃. High temperature in summer, goldfish flowers grow very slowly or almost stop growing, at this time should take appropriate shading measures, in order to make its growth exuberant, not defoliation.

3. Watering: goldfish flowers have more requirements for water in the vigorous growing season, and keep the basin soil moist in spring, summer and autumn to "see dry and wet". Usually to maintain environmental humidity, it is best to often spray water around the flowerpot, but to avoid wetting the leaves. If you don't have time to take care of it, you can put the flowerpot in a shallow pot filled with clear water, which can effectively ensure a small range of environmental humidity. After entering winter, goldfish flowers enter the dormant period and grow slowly, so it is necessary to reduce the amount of water and keep them dry until the buds appear. After seeing the bud, you can appropriately increase the amount of water to prepare for flowering.

4. Fertilization: goldfish flowers do not require much fertilizer and water, just apply thin organic fertilizer and water every half a month or so. If you can increase some phosphate fertilizer before budding, you can blossom more and be colorful. Fertilization is mainly in spring and autumn, and dilute liquid fertilizer is applied every 10-14 days. Liquid fertilizer is mainly applied with nitrogen fertilizer in autumn to promote luxuriant branches and leaves, while more fertilizers containing phosphorus and potassium should be applied after spring to make the flowers colorful.

5. Propagation: goldfish flowers are mainly propagated by cutting, mainly by top branch cutting or stem cutting. It can be carried out all year round, and it is best to do it indoors after flowering. Cut the 1-year-old branches 10 ~ 15cm, keep the top 3 ~ 4 pairs of leaves, remove the basal pairs of leaflets, insert them into the sand bed or sand basin, cover them with plastic film, control the temperature at 20 ~ 22 ℃, and keep the air humidity high, rooting can take place in 3 ~ 4 weeks. The heart is removed 2 months after survival to promote more branches to facilitate more flowers, and then it can be planted on the pot. The seedlings do not blossom in the first year, but can blossom after 2 or 3 years of conservation.

The method of top branch cutting or stem cutting can be used for propagation. It can be carried out all year round, and it is best to do it indoors after flowering. Cut the annual branch treaty 10~15cm, retain 3mur4 leaves, remove the basal pairs of leaflets, and insert them into the sand. Cover with glass or plastic film, control the temperature at 20 ℃, and maintain high air humidity. Rooting can be achieved in about 3 to 4 weeks. Two months after survival, the heart is removed to promote more branches, to facilitate more flowers, and then it can be planted on the pot. The seedlings did not bloom in the first year, and red flowers spit out in the axils of the leaves at the end of the weeping branches after 2023. Goldfish flower can be propagated by sowing, ramet and cutting. Because the seeds are not easy to obtain, most of them do not use sowing and propagation, and cutting methods are commonly used to propagate. In spring and autumn, about 10 cm (4 nodes) of branches were cut and inserted into a bed made of river sand or vermiculite to maintain high humidity. It can take root in about a month when the temperature is 20Mel and 25 ℃. After rooting and surviving, it can strengthen management, promote the growth of new branches, and carry out coring to promote branching. After 1 Mel for 2 months, it can be planted in the pot. Goldfish pot cultivation requires that the substrate is rich in humus, loose and well drained. Peat soil, perlite and vermiculite are commonly mixed, and the soil leaves are slightly acidic to facilitate growth. During the growth period, liquid fertilizer was applied every two weeks, and phosphorus and potassium fertilizer should be applied in the peak growth and flowering period. There is a short dormant period in winter, during which the basin soil can be watered less and keep the basin soil properly dry; in winter (that is, flowering), it can be watered more appropriately; during the growing period, there should be sufficient moisture, the basin soil should always be kept wet, and try to improve the air humidity. It is easy to cause soft rot and death of stems and branches when it is hot and humid. If this happens, the soft rot should be cut off in time. Goldfish flowers like bright and non-direct light environment, so when the summer light is too strong, it should be shaded (50% shade); in order to promote the formation of flower buds, the sun should be exposed in autumn and keep the basin soil slightly dry; it is best to put it in a dry and cool environment when dormant in winter to promote flower bud differentiation; appropriate light can be increased before flowering in winter, and it should be moved to the brightest window indoors to ensure exuberant growth and flowering. Goldfish has dense branches and leaves, and the stems hang naturally; in the peak flowering period, a larger plant can bloom more than a hundred at the same time, and the flowers are large and colorful, which is quite spectacular, so it is a very ideal plant for overhanging leaves and ornamental flowers. It is very suitable to be used as epiphytic potted plants in greenhouses and indoor gardens, as well as for family hanging and appreciation.

Goldfish flower-cultivation management

Goldfish flower

Goldfish flower is an epiphyte, and the culture medium can be mixed with peat, perlite and vermiculite, or with peat moss, fern root, bark and other materials, cultivated in porous flowerpots for good ventilation and drainage. In indoor cultivation, pot plants should be placed in a place where there is no direct sunlight all day, and can be moved to a sunny place before flowering. Goldfish flowers are sensitive to low temperature. When the temperature drops below 10 ℃, the leaves turn yellow, appear mottled and fall off. Avoid summer heat, summer should still be put indoors, pay attention to ventilation shade, often keep moist. Watering should be in line with the principle of "better wet than dry". Leaf water evaporation is exuberant in spring and autumn dry season, so watering times should be increased, but be careful not to get too wet. From December to January of the following year, the plant enters the dormant period. In order to make the flowers bloom and flourish in the coming year, the room temperature should be controlled between 14 and 16 ℃, and the water supply should be controlled to keep it dry properly. Attention should be paid to maintaining a high humidity environment during the growing season. Spray humidification can be used, or clear water is often used to spray pot plants and the surrounding ground. But when the bud is colored or enters the flowering stage, the spray should stop, otherwise the leaves will produce macula. In the peak growth period, fertilizer was applied every two weeks, and more phosphate fertilizer was added to facilitate the formation of flower buds. Goldfish flower is more resistant to pruning, the position of flowering is moved up without pruning for a long time, and its main and lateral branches can be lightly truncated after flowering to make it form more branches. Goldfish flowers can be propagated by cutting: cut about 5-6 cm of new branches and insert them in the river sand seedbed. The seedlings survived by cuttings were planted in humus-based culture soil, with 3-4 plants in each pot, which was the basis for future modeling. If you want to promote branching, you can pick the heart during the growing period. Goldfish flowers in spring, summer, autumn three seasons to pour more water, often use clear water to spray the surrounding ground, do not sprinkle water on the leaves. When it is hot in summer, it is best to put the flowerpot in a shallow dish filled with water. These measures can avoid falling leaves due to dry air. Goldfish flowers should also be watered properly before blooming in winter and spring, so that the flowers can bloom fully and brightly. Goldfish flowers in addition to winter should have more sunlight, other seasons should be more shade, spring, summer and autumn should cover the sun 60% to 70%, or hanging in the outdoor shade shed, or tree shade, cool, ventilated place, receive more scattered light but no direct sunlight. Such an environment is very suitable for its growth. Goldfish flowers in winter before flowering, should appropriately enhance the light, so as to make its flowers colorful. When hanging in the family pot, it can be placed in a bright, ventilated room, and can be placed and watched all the year round. Goldfish flowers should not be fertilized during flowering, but should be trimmed and shaped after blooming, and more nitrogenous fertilizers should be applied. During the growth period, the application of organic thin fertilizer solution every 1-2 weeks can make it grow vigorously, and the application of phosphate fertilizer before flowering can make it more pregnant buds and blossom and enhance its ornamental effect.

In autumn, nitrogen fertilizer is mainly applied to promote leafy stems. After the beginning of spring, more phosphorus and potassium fertilizer should be applied to facilitate colorful flowers. After the flowers fade, pay attention to pruning in time. Pruning not only helps to promote branching and make the plant shape fuller, but also the flower position is moderate, so as to improve the ornamental value. Otherwise, the branches are slender; only the top of the hanging stem is covered with flowers, which is unsightly. Usually change the pot every one year after flowering. The basin soil should be mixed with peat soil, land and river sand, and a small amount of bone meal or cake fertilizer should be added as base fertilizer. Propagation of lobular goldfish flower, multi-use cutting method, can be carried out throughout the year, but after flowering is the best.
