Culture methods and matters needing attention of longevity flowers

Flower culture in home decoration is a very common thing, which can not only help us do a good job in interior decoration and add vitality to the interior, but also help us to purify indoor air. Longevity flower is one of the very good indoor ornaments. Longevity flower is one of the very good indoor culture plants, not only beautiful, but also beautiful, especially for the elderly at home. Here I would like to introduce the breeding methods and matters needing attention of longevity flowers. I hope it will be helpful for you to understand how to raise longevity flowers.

I. Culture methods of longevity flowers

1. Soil selection for longevity flower culture:

Longevity flowers should not be cultivated in clayey soil, otherwise it will lead to poor growth, rotten roots and leaves, and in serious cases, plant death. The basin soil was mixed with 4 parts of rotten leaf soil, 4 parts of garden soil and 2 parts of river sand, plus a small amount of bone powder. This kind of cultivated soil is loose and fertile, has good drainage performance, and shows a slightly acidic reaction, which is beneficial to the development of root system.

2. Fertilization methods for longevity flower culture:

Longevity flowers should not be cultivated in clayey soil, otherwise it will lead to poor growth, rotten roots and leaves, and in serious cases, plant death. The basin soil was mixed with 4 parts of rotten leaf soil, 4 parts of garden soil and 2 parts of river sand, plus a small amount of bone powder. This kind of cultivated soil is loose and fertile, has good drainage performance, and shows a slightly acidic reaction, which is beneficial to the development of root system.

In the peak growing season, thin compound liquid fertilizer can be applied every 15 to 20 days to promote robust growth and luxuriant flowering. If 0.2% potassium dihydrogen phosphate or 0.5% superphosphate is applied twice after flower bud formation in November, the flowers will be more, the color will be bright, and the florescence will be long.

3. Watering methods for longevity flower culture:

Longevity flowers, like other succulent flowers, contain more water and have a strong ability to resist drought, so they do not need a lot of watering. During the growth period, as long as every 2-3 days to water once, keep the basin soil slightly moist. Watering should be controlled when the temperature is low in winter. If the watering is too much, the drainage is not smooth, and the basin soil is too wet, it is easy to cause root rot.

II. Matters needing attention in longevity flower culture

The main results are as follows: (1) when cultivating longevity flowers, if there is not enough light for a long time, not only the branches are slender, the leaves are thin and small, and the plant shape is beautiful, but also the number of flowers is reduced, and the flower color is not bright, but also cause a large number of leaves to fall off and lose the ornamental value.

(2) the longevity flower has phototropism, so during the growth period, we should often change the direction of the flowerpot, adjust the light, make the plant receive light evenly, and promote the branch to develop to all sides. If you do not turn the pot for a long time, the plant will grow on one side and affect the ornamental effect.

(3) in the period of exuberant growth of longevity flowers, we should pay attention to picking the heart and promoting branches, so as not to affect its ornamental.

3. Hydroponic propagation of longevity flowers

1. The selection of cuttings is the basic premise to ensure the high quality of potted flowers. For hydroponic cuttings, it is ideal to choose healthy, strong and full cuttings, about 10 to 15 cm long, with 2'3 nodes with more than 3'4 pairs of leaf terminal buds. It is best to cut at the interbranch nodes or at about 1cm below the nodes, and the maximum cross-sectional area is formed at an angle of about 45 °. If the terminal bud is a flower branch, cut off the residual flowers. It is best to have a stalk above 1cm below the cuttings. If it interferes with the bottom of the Jack, the pair of leaves can be removed, and the rest of the leaves can be retained as far as possible.

2. The cross-sectional wounds of branches, terminal buds and petioles used before hydroponics should be naturally air-dried for more than 4 hours. This is determined by the characteristics of succulent and serous plants, otherwise the wound is prone to blackening and ulceration leading to rooting failure. In general, herbaceous and woody cuttings should not be dehydrated for too long to prevent air from entering the vascular bundle and blocking water transport, so herbaceous woody cuttings should be dried at most. If the leaves wilt, it is best to soak the branches and leaves to show that the water transport is not hindered before entering the next process. But long-lived cuttings remember that you must not soak in water before cutting, but need a certain degree of air-drying, even if the bark is wrinkled and wilted, on the contrary, it is more likely to root. For example, long-lived branches sent from other places do not need any moisturizing treatment. after several days of transportation, the wound naturally dries up after arrival, so it is good to cut it in at this time. Don't gild the lily, cut off the dried part and soak it in fungicides, rooting fluids and so on. The air in the south is so humid that I usually cut it the night before and cut it in the next or third day.

I believe that after reading the above, we should have some understanding of the breeding methods and matters needing attention of longevity flowers. after understanding how to raise longevity flowers, we should do a good job of careful maintenance in our daily life.
