Cultivate and reproduce

Ramet and sowing were used to propagate. It is mainly ramet. It has strong dividing ability and rapid growth, so it is easy to cultivate offspring with ramet propagation. The ramet time usually takes place in spring. When ramets, dig up the seedlings from the ground, remove the mud, and then find out where the stems and roots are naturally separated. Cut the underground stem into several pieces with a hand or a sharp blade and plant it on a sandy loam rich in humus, loose and fertile, with a depth of 8~10cm. In the growing season, it is necessary to fully water and supply fertilizer, and apply liquid fertilizer rich in phosphorus and potassium once a month. Pay attention to shading when you just transplant, otherwise sunburn is easy to occur. For seed propagation, the germination temperature is 25-28 ℃, germinates about 20 days after sowing, and the seedlings blossom for 3-4 years.

Loose and fertile loam is used in soil or potted plants. The growing period needs to be fully watered, fertilized once every semimonthly, and must not be dried at low temperature. The summer flowering period should be shaded properly and the phosphorus and potassium fertilizer should be applied twice. Cut off the dead leaves in winter and keep the plant shape beautiful. The overwintering temperature is above 12 ℃. Plantlet planting can bloom in the second year, good cultivation management, and can blossom continuously for more than 10 years. There are many kinds of horticulture, such as safflower, orange blossom, pink blossom and so on.

Diseases and insect pests

The main diseases and insect pests are powdery mildew, black spot and so on. Generally, when the disease occurs on the inflorescence, the stone-sulfur mixture of 0.3% to 0.5% Baume can be sprayed to kill the disease, or 50% carbendazim 800 times dilution. Common insect pests include aphids, ants and so on. The control of aphids can be sprayed with carbendazim, etc. Ant control is sprayed with 50% omethoate emulsion 800-1200 times or 80% dichlorvos EC 1000 times.

Indoor potted plants, such as poor ventilation, prone to shell insects, can be sprayed with 1000 times of imidophos EC.

Culture and management of weeping Firebird and banana

Heliconia rostrata Ruiz generally refers to the golden-billed scorpion tail banana, golden-billed scorpion tail banana (Pavon): Banana family, scorpion tail banana is a perennial herb. The height of the plant can reach 6 meters.

It blossoms from May to October.

[culture method] sowing or ramet culture in early spring. The ramets were cut and planted when the lateral branches next to the mother plant sprouted in early spring. Pay attention to shading when you just transplant, otherwise sunburn is easy to occur. Soon, the new erect stem grows from the top of the lateral underground stem. For seed culture, the germination temperature is 25-28 ℃, germinates about 20 days after sowing, and the seedlings bloom for 3-4 years. [cultivation management] like high temperature and sufficient sunshine, and the soil should be deep, fertile and slightly moist. Shade slightly in summer and pay attention to ventilation. Can be potted, more suitable to plant. Loose and fertile loam is used in soil or potted plants. Potted plants can be cultivated in large pots with rotten leaf soil or peat soil. When the twig grows to 20~25cm, the management of water and fertilizer should be strengthened, enough water should be kept, and enough light should be given. Fertilize every semimonthly during the growing period, do not dry at low temperature. After the inflorescence is extracted, the proportion of phosphorus and potassium fertilizer should be increased to make the flower color more beautiful. Flowering mainly depends on the plant age. Generally, plants germinated before the beginning of April are expected to bloom in the following year. If they germinate after the end of April, they will not blossom until the third year. The remaining branches and leaves should be cut off in winter to keep the plant shape beautiful. If properly managed, there are many spikes and blossoms in summer, and each inflorescence blossoms one flower in 3 days, and the whole viewing period can be as long as 4 Murray for 5 months. The overwintering temperature is above 12 ℃. This species has extensive growth, strong resistance and few diseases and insect pests. Indoor potted plants, such as poor ventilation, prone to shell insects, can be sprayed with 1000 times of imidophos EC.
