Do you know the six tips for raising cyclamen?

Cyclamen beautiful and generous ornamental value is extremely high, but this kind of delicate flowers is not very good, how to raise cyclamen has become a difficult problem. Below will be how to raise cyclamen, cyclamen how to raise the technology to tell you.

1. Seed selection: select seeds, select full, glossy brown seeds without diseases and insect pests, soak the seeds collected that year in the mixture of 50ppm's GA3 (gibberellin) and 500ppm's methyl thiophanate or chlorothalonil for one day and night, then control clean water, rinse clean in clean water, and control water to dry the surface moisture. Then sow the seeds and blossom about 10 days earlier than the unsoaked seeds.

2. Potted soil: the requirement for soil. It likes sunny, moist and cool environment, but is afraid of waterlogging. The culture method matrix of cyclamen needs slightly acidic soil with loose air permeability and good drainage, and the mixed substrate of peat and perlite is commonly used in cultivation. It can also be cultivated with rotten leaf soil and slag ash. The culture method matrix of cyclamen must be disinfected and sterilized during cultivation to prevent quenching disease, root rot and so on. The basin soil needs to be kept moist, but it is necessary to strictly prevent stagnant water or waterlogging, otherwise once the roots rot, the whole plant will die quickly.

3, temperature, humidity: cyclamen likes a warm environment, can not bear high temperature and cold, the maximum temperature should not exceed 30 ℃, otherwise it will enter a dormant state, the high temperature of about 35 ℃ is prone to decay and necrosis. It is best to keep it between 10 ℃ and 20 ℃ in winter. When it is lower than 5 Mel, the growth is inhibited, the leaves are curled, the flowers bloom poorly, and the color is dim. In summer, it should be placed in a moist and ventilated place, and the basin soil should be kept in a certain dry state to make it fully dormant over summer. It likes a humid environment and is not resistant to dryness. it needs to be kept between 60% humidity and 70% humidity during the growth period, which can make the leaves dark green and shiny. In winter, it can not be placed in the position where heating and air conditioning can be contacted directly to prevent wilting and withering due to air drying. Avoid flowers when spraying water to prevent flowers from withering ahead of time. The water temperature should be close to room temperature.

4. Light: sufficient light conditions are needed in the growing period in order to blossom for a long time and the flowers are colorful. Placed in the semi-shade can only be enjoyed for a short time, but also to avoid the shady environment, otherwise the leaf color and flower color will fade, the plant will be weak, and in serious cases, it will be difficult to recover until it decays and dries up.

5. Fertilization: cyclamen is also a fertilizer-loving plant. First of all, we should start with the soil. The soil in the flowerpot should take fertile sandy loam with more humus, change the basin soil once a year, and apply 2 ‰ potassium dihydrogen phosphate once a year in spring and autumn. Do not apply high nitrogen fertilizer, you can blossom 15 colors 20 days ahead of schedule. Fertilizer during the growing period should generally be applied with thin fertilizer, liquid fertilizer must be fully rotten and fermented, and fertilization should be carried out on a sunny day. After late August, the weather is getting cooler and the growth is flourishing. Fertilizers containing phosphorus and potassium can be applied every 10 days, so as to promote flowering and flourishing in the future. When applying fertilizer, pay attention to prevent the liquid fertilizer from flooding the bulb so as not to cause rot.

6. Pest control: the main diseases of cyclamen are bacterial soft rot, bacterial leaf rot, gray mold, anthracnose, leaf spot and so on. Among them, the harm of soft rot and leaf rot is serious, the prevention and control of cyclamen culture methods should pay attention to the following aspects: strict disinfection of seeds, culture soil and tools, strengthen ventilation, reduce temperature and humidity, and avoid rain cultivation as far as possible. timely cleaning of diseased leaves and plants, and should be carried out in dry time to pick leaves, buds and other operations; regular chemical control. In addition, cyclamen culture methods are also vulnerable to root-knot nematodes, mites, aphids and other harm, should pay attention to prevention and control.
