Culture methods and matters needing attention of Fulang Flower

A brief introduction to Fulanhua

It is a perennial herb of Compositae, alias sunflower, gorilla, sunflower and so on. The method of sowing or dividing plants is used for reproduction. Plant height 30~45cm, rhizome short, surrounded by the remaining petiole, most of the leaves are basal, pinnately lobed. With thicker fibrous roots, terminal inflorescences, large flowers, red, white, yellow, orange, purple, etc., rich in colors, labor-saving management, perennial supply in warm areas, is an important material for modern cut flowers, for flower arrangement and making flower baskets, can also be used as potted plants.

The distribution range of Fulang flower

African chrysanthemum is native to South Africa, mainly in southern South Africa, and there are also a large number of wild on the island of Madagascar. A few are distributed in Asia. With the progress of greenhouse technology in China and the introduction of new foreign greenhouse technology, the amount of cultivation in China has increased significantly, and it has been cultivated in South China, East China, Central China and other regions. However, because of its fast reproduction, it is listed as an alien invasive species in Guangdong, China.

The method of propagation of Fulang flower:

1. Sowing seeds

Usually each flower can bear 20 or 30 seeds, which can be sown in spring or autumn.

2. Ramet

Take out the seedlings growing next to the mother plant, and it is best to dig a group of holes for planting every two plants, which is conducive to increasing the number of flowers. As for the places where there are conditions, if we can carry out test-tube breeding, it will be more beneficial to accelerate the breeding and promotion of improved varieties.

Fulang flower culture method:

1. Soil:

Gerbera is sensitive to water and should use a medium with good permeability and drainage, preferably a mixture of peat and perlite. The pH value is 5.5 to 6.0 and the EC value is 0.7 to 1.0, which is beneficial to the absorption of trace elements.

2. Watering:

Potted gerbera is very sensitive to water, so it must be watered at the right time, in the morning or evening, and at night to make the plant relatively dry. When the plant begins to grow roots, it must be watered from the bottom, which can be infiltrated at the bottom; it can be watered from the top of the plant during high temperature, but care should be taken to prevent fungal mildew from the center of the plant.

3. Sunshine:

The most suitable sunshine length during the growth of African chrysanthemum is 11 hours to 13 hours, so it can be replenished by artificial light in low light. The general requirement of artificial supplementary light is 3500 to 4000 lux per square meter.

4. Temperature:

The most suitable temperature for the growth of African chrysanthemum is between 15 ℃ and 25 ℃, the highest is not higher than 30 ℃ and the lowest is not less than 13 ℃. High temperature will affect the normal flower bud differentiation, and low temperature will cause plant death.

5. Fertilization:

African chrysanthemum is a perennial flower that likes fertilizer. There is a great demand for fertilizer. The proportion of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium is 15:18:25. Special attention should be paid to the supplement of potash fertilizer. 2.5 kilograms of potassium acid and 1.2 kilograms of ammonium nitrate or ammonium phosphate per mu, once every 5-6 days, once every 10 days. If the plant is semi-dormant caused by high temperature or low temperature, fertilization will be stopped.

6. Insect pests:

The diseases of African chrysanthemum include leaf spot, powdery mildew and virus. Leaf spot disease was sprayed with 1000 times of 70% methyl topiramate wettable powder or 50% carbendazim wettable powder. Powdery mildew was prevented and treated with 1500 times of methyl topiramate or 1000-1200 times of 1000-1200 times of thiophanate, once every 7-10 days, two to three times in a row.

7. Pruning:

The lower leaves of the basal leaf clusters of African chrysanthemum are easy to wither, yellow and senile, which should be removed in time, which is not only beneficial to the germination of new leaves and flower buds, but also conducive to ventilation and enhance plant growth. In addition, if the branches and leaves of the plant are too luxuriant to cover each other, some of the leaves can be removed properly.

Cultivation and management of Fulang flower

1. Management of seedling stage:

After planting, 70% shading net was used to shade for 7-10 days, and then gradually increased light after the seedlings survived; the day and night temperature was adjusted by opening and closing the lateral membrane and parietal membrane, keeping the day temperature at 22-25 ℃ and the night temperature at 20-22 ℃ for 1 month; during this period, spray watering was used, and the watering time was better in the morning. A small hole is controlled beside the plant to indicate the moisture of the soil. The water should not be too dry or too wet, and the watering frequency should not be fixed every 5 days, but it should be determined according to the soil structure and weather conditions. Check plant by plant every day, remove the diseased plants in time, and make up for the strong seedlings.

2. Management of seedling stage:

About one month after planting, African chrysanthemum enters a vigorous growth period and needs proper shading when the light is too strong. The temperature is set to 14-16 ℃ at night and the lowest temperature is 18 ℃ 25 ℃ during the day. 0.1% compound fertilizer (N:P:K is 15:15:15) is used once every week, and 0.1% potassium dihydrogen phosphate is sprayed with foliar fertilizer every two weeks. Spray broad-spectrum fungicides, such as methyl topiramate 1000-fold solution for 2-3 times to prevent the disease.

3. Management of florescence:

The flowering stage will enter in about 3-4 months. N:P:K=12:12:17 compound fertilizer was applied every other week. Use foliar spraying micro-fertilizer, generally once every 25 days, each time with 0.1-0.2% Ca (NO3) 2.4 H2O 0.1-0.2% chelated iron, 0.1-0.2% borax and 5-10ppm sodium molybdate for foliar alternative spraying; drip irrigation is used for watering, the watering principle is "no dry, no watering, watering thoroughly", do not water from the leaves. The relative humidity in the shed should be kept at 80% 85%; pull grass in time, remove diseased leaves and withered leaves, pull out diseased plants and disinfect the soil with quicklime; in summer flowering, pay attention to sunshade and ventilation, and in winter flowering, pay attention to heat preservation and heating, especially to prevent the temperature difference between day and night from being too large, in order to reduce the production of abnormal flowers. The floral language of Fulang Hua

Some friends have carried out the Fulang flower culture, do not know how to raise the Fulang flower? Today, I will introduce to you the breeding methods and matters needing attention of Fulang flower.

The culture method of Fulang flower:

1. Reproduction: the reproduction of Fulang flower is divided into sowing reproduction and individual plant reproduction. Fulang flower usually has 20 or 30 seeds per flower, which can be sowed in spring or autumn. The ramet propagation of Fulang flower takes out the seedlings growing next to the mother plant of Fulang flower, and it is best to dig a group of holes for planting every two plants, which is beneficial to increase the number of flowers. As for the conditional places, if the test-tube seedling can be carried out, it will be more beneficial to speed up the propagation and promotion of Fulang flower.

2. Illumination: the most suitable sunshine length in the growth process of Fulang flower is 11 hours to 13 hours, so artificial supplementary light can be carried out in low light. The general requirement of artificial light filling is 3500 to 4000 lux per square meter, which can only be carried out at least 4 weeks after the Fulang flower is put on the pot.

3. Temperature: the most suitable temperature for the growth of Fulang flower is between 15 ℃ and 25 ℃, the highest is not higher than 30 ℃ and the lowest is not less than 13 ℃. The optimum temperature in winter is 12-15 ℃, and stops growing when it is lower than 10 ℃. Fulang flower is a semi-cold-tolerant flower, which can tolerate a short-term low temperature of 0 ℃. High temperature will affect the normal flower bud differentiation, and low temperature will cause the death of Fulang flower.

4. Soil: Fulanhua is very sensitive to water. It is necessary to use a medium with good permeability and drainage, preferably a mixture of peat and perlite. The pH value is 5.5 to 6.0 and the EC value is 0.7 to 1.0, which is beneficial to the absorption of trace elements.

5. Watering: potted Fulang flowers are very sensitive to water, so it is necessary to ensure the correct time of watering, watering in the morning or evening, and making the plants relatively dry at night. When the plant begins to grow roots, it must be watered from the bottom, which can be infiltrated at the bottom; it can be watered from the top of the plant during high temperature, but care should be taken to prevent fungal mildew from the center of the plant.

6. Fertilization: Fulang flower is a perennial flower that likes fertilizer, and the demand for fertilizer is large. The proportion of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium is 15:18:25. Special attention should be paid to the supplement of potash fertilizer. 2.5 kilograms of potassium acid and 1.2 kilograms of ammonium nitrate or ammonium phosphate per mu, once every 5-6 days, once every 10 days. If the plant is semi-dormant caused by high temperature or low temperature, fertilization will be stopped.

7. Pruning: the lower leaves of the basal leaves of Fulang flower are easy to wither, yellow and senile, which should be removed in time, which is not only conducive to the sprouting of new leaves and flower buds, but also conducive to ventilation and enhance the growth of Fulang flowers. In addition, if the branches and leaves of Fulang flowers are too luxuriant to cover each other, some of the leaves can be removed properly. For too many buds or abnormal flowers should also be removed in time to ensure that the remaining branches have enough nutrition to improve the quality of Fulang flowers.

8. Insect pests: the pathogens brought by disease control pose the greatest threat to Fulang flower culture, so attention should be paid to disinfection. The diseases of Fulang flower include leaf spot, powdery mildew and virus. Leaf spot disease was sprayed with 70% methyl topiramate wettable powder 800 times or 50% carbendazim wettable powder 500 times. Powdery mildew was prevented and treated with 1500 times of methyl topiramate or 1000-1200 times of 1000-1200 times of thiophanate, once every 7-10 days, two to three times in a row.

Points for attention in the culture of Fulang flower:

Then the editor will tell you about the aspects that need to be paid attention to in the daily breeding process of potted Flowers.
