First, how to grow water tower flowers

1. Soil: the water tower flower does not have high requirements for soil quality, and it is better to use slightly acidic sandy loam with rich humus and good drainage and ventilation, but avoid calcareous soil.

2. Lighting: the water tower flower likes the semi-shady environment and should be maintained in a bright place indoors when breeding. When raising water tower flowers in summer, you should pay attention to appropriate shade and supplement light in winter, which can be placed near the south-facing window for maintenance. Other seasons can give the water tower flowers direct light, which is conducive to the formation of flower buds.

3. Temperature: the water tower flower likes the environment of high temperature and high humidity, and the most suitable growth temperature is 18 ℃ 30 min. When the summer temperature is very high, it is necessary to do a good job of ventilation and cooling, and when raising water tower flowers in winter, it is necessary to ensure that the growth environment temperature is above 15 ℃. In addition, during the flowering period, the water tower flower should be placed in a place with lower temperature and the basin soil should be slightly drier, which can prolong the flowering time of the water tower flower.

Second, the knack of how to raise water tower flowers well

If you want to raise the water tower flower well, you must first be familiar with its growth habits: like warm, moist, semi-shady environment, not cold-resistant, slightly drought-resistant. It requires high air humidity, avoid strong light, and the suitable temperature for growth is 20-28 ℃.

Domestic water tower flowers, during the day should be placed in the indoor south to the sun window, let it fully accept the sun, winter season pay attention to indoor temperature, because the water tower flowers are not cold-resistant, so it is necessary to do a good job of cold protection measures.

If the temperature rises in spring, after turning the basin and changing the soil in April, it can be moved under the outdoor shade shed for the summer. The basin soil should be loose, fertile and slightly acidic. Generally, one part of rotten leaf soil, one part of garden soil, half part of rice chaff ash and half part of stable fertilizer soil can be mixed. If there is a spray condition, it can often maintain a high air humidity, and it is more appropriate to use peat soil with good drainage and acid as pot soil.

In summer, more than 30 ℃ plants are in a semi-dormant state and can not be exposed to strong sunlight, so it is appropriate to spend the summer under the shade shed. In order to increase air humidity, water can be sprayed on the ground several times to prevent heat and cool down.

3. Potted cultivation of flowers in water tower

Usually garden soil, rotten leaf soil and river sand are mixed with a small amount of base fertilizer as culture soil, and bitter medicine, sugarcane root and bark can also be used as pot substrate. It is an epiphytic plant with few roots, and the pot should not be large or deep when potted. It can be planted and there is a certain gap around it. 3 January and October is the main growing period, it is necessary to ensure adequate moisture and high air humidity, but the basin soil should not be too wet.

In addition to watering to keep the soil moist, you can also pour water into the central tube of the plant, or spray water around the plant to maintain high air humidity; at the same time, scrub the leaf surface with a soft cloth to keep the leaf surface clean and bright. It does not have high requirements for fertilizer and generally applies liquid fertilizer once a month twice a month during the peak growth period. When fertilizing, the liquid fertilizer should not only be applied to the basin soil, but also be sprayed on the leaf surface, and the liquid fertilizer should be poured into the heart of the foliage (because its heart has stronger absorptive capacity).

There is about so much information about water tower flowers. I believe that through the introduction of the breeding methods and pictures of water tower flowers, you have a certain understanding of how to cultivate water tower flowers. There is also a trick to raise the water tower flowers well, that is, always keep the water in the leaf tube, the basin soil is moist, the plant grows well, if the leaf tube is short of water, the plant is easy to wilt.
