How to cut and water Baolian lantern

Baolian Lantern, this is a lot of people like this kind of flower, this Baolian Lantern looks good, how to cut Baolian Lantern? How to water Baolian lantern:

How to cut Baolian Lantern:

I. preparatory work

1. The substrate of cutting.

The substrate of Baolian Lantern cutting can choose the mixed substrate or the pure sand substrate. The best choice is the mixed substrate, which is more beneficial to the growth of plants and more porous.

2. The time of cutting

Generally speaking, the cutting time of Baolian lantern is relatively suitable in April-August and September-November every year. It is investigated that the survival rate of cutting in April-August is higher than that in September-November. Therefore, it is recommended that the cutting time of flower friends should be from April to August as far as possible.

3. Cutting branches

The semi-lignified branches with leaves at the top should be selected for the selection of cutting branches, and the branches under healthy growth should be selected.

II. Steps

Dig out an opening suitable for insertion of the basin soil, insert the selected cuttings into the prepared mixed matrix, press the mixed matrix after insertion, water it appropriately, and pay attention to not watering too much, otherwise it is easy to cause plant root rot, and after cuttage is completed, cover a layer of shade net on the top of the plant to create a good growth environment for it. Baolian lantern will take root about 30 days after the cuttage is completed, and the pot will be ready for 60 days or so.

How to water Baolian lantern flowers:

Baolian Lantern is more like the dark and humid environment, as long as you see that the soil is relatively dry, you can water it.

This is the end of the introduction on the cutting method of Baolian Lantern. We should pay attention to the watering of Baolian Lantern.

Introduction to cutting Propagation and cultivation Management of Baolian Lantern

Baolian lantern flower

Baolian Lantern, also known as Pearl Baolian, Mei Ding Hua, etc., is native to tropical forest areas. The growth and shape of the flowers are similar to those of the hanging Golden Bell, because their flowers are hanging from the stem, which are very different and are widely cultivated and propagated all over the country. Let's familiarize ourselves with the cutting propagation and cultivation management of Baolian lantern.

I. the growth habits of Baolian Lantern.

Like high temperature, humid and semi-overcast environment, not cold-resistant, avoid hot sun exposure, require fertile, loose rotten leaf soil or peat soil, winter temperature is not lower than 16 ℃. The medium for planting needs to be a mixed medium dominated by coarse peat. The pH value must be controlled between 3.5 and 4. Keep the temperature at 21 ℃ during the day and 19 ℃ at night, and the humidity should always be around 80%. The growth cycle of the plant begins from flowering to the end of autumn. The plant is rich in nitrogen (N) in spring and potassium (K) in summer, and fertilized once a week. The proportion of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium should be balanced in the growing season. If irrigation water is taken from rivers or lakes with high EC value, water quality tests should be done before use to analyze the composition of the water.

Second, the cutting of the propagation of Baolian lantern flower.

1. Cutting season

Generally speaking, it is OK from April to August in spring and summer and from September to November in autumn, but according to the experience of flower friends, the survival rate in spring and summer is higher than that in autumn.

two。 Tender wood cuttage

When the plant is growing vigorously from late spring to early autumn, the sturdy branches of the current year are selected as cuttings. After the branches are cut off, the sturdy parts are selected to build a long section from 5cm to 15cm, each with more than 2-3 leaf nodes. When cutting cuttings, be sure to cut at the 2cm away from the stem knot, and the upper and lower cuts should be flat (the knife should be sharp)

3. Hardwood cuttage

After the temperature rebounded in early spring, last year's strong branches were selected as cuttings. Each cuttage usually retains 3 to 4 nodes per cuttage, and the cutting method is the same as that of softwood cuttings.

4. Cutting substrate

Fine sand: perlite = 3:1, or grass carbon: vermiculite = 4:1, or peat: perlite: vermiculite = 4:1:1. Before cutting, soak the lower end of the branch 1cm to 2cm in the growth regulator. If soaked in 50 mg / L indoleacetic acid (IAA) + 50 mg / liter indolebutyric acid (IBA) for 1 to 2 minutes, the cuttings could accelerate rooting. After cutting, in order to prevent the bottom of the cuttings from accumulating water when taking root, place a hole plate under each hole plate equipped with cuttings. After insertion, it is necessary to take good care of the seedbed, cover the seedbed with plastic film and sunshade net, spray (water) every 1 to 2 days on a sunny day, keep the temperature at 22 ℃ to 28 ℃, light from 5000 lux to 100000 lux, relative humidity 85% to 95% can take root after 40 to 50 days, and can be transplanted to the basin in about 60 days.

III. Cultivation and management of Baolian lantern flower

Change the basin every spring, get rid of the old soil, increase the fertile, well-drained rotten leaf soil, appropriate shade. During the growing period, it is necessary to keep the soil moist, cultivate indoors in winter, increase light and reduce watering. During the flowering period from April to June, the humidity should not be too high, otherwise it is easy to cause falling flowers. When the buds begin to change color, the growers should put the plants in a slightly warmer place to prevent the buds from falling. The number of buds must be proportional to the size of the plant, but the buds must be more than 5 centimeters long. If it is less than 5 centimeters and it is winter, they are very likely not to blossom.

Plants can be classified according to different levels in addition to the number of flowers. The plant has three different layers, one layer, two layers and three layers. Promoting flower is the difficulty of maintaining Baolian lantern. Natural flowering is concentrated from January to May, and can be promoted throughout the year if the greenhouse is maintained. If you want to provide flowering plants after summer, you must control the temperature. Too high or too low temperature will prevent the buds from blooming fully.

Diseases and insect pests: sometimes leaf spot and stem rot occur, spray with 1000 times of methyl topiramate wettable powder. Pests are harmful to whiteflies and scale insects and can be sprayed with 1000 times of 50% dichlorvos EC.

Whether cutting propagation or sowing propagation, high-quality cutting branches and seeds should be selected, and masochistic branches and seeds should be eliminated. Only in this way can Baolian lantern flowers with green leaves and colorful leaves be propagated. If properly maintained and managed, Baolian lantern flowers can also bloom throughout the year.
