A string of red pictures, a string of red culture methods

A string of red is deeply loved by the public because of its fiery red color and beautiful appearance, and with the improvement of people's life, more and more people choose to breed a string of red, but for beginners, we know very little about the breeding method of a string of red, so let's take you to learn the ability to bring a string of red home.

An introduction to the characteristics of a string of red

A string of red is a perennial herb, the leaves are opposite on the stem, the leaves are green and ovate or triangular-shaped, and the edges of the leaves are serrated. The flowers are red, of course, there are also varieties, the flowers are white or purple, but the more common ones are red, with dense flowers. A bunch of red plants are divided into small and medium-sized plants, ranging from 20 to 40 centimeters in small size and no more than 100 centimeters in medium size. A bunch of red fruits are nutlets, oval in shape, with tiny black seeds in the fruit.

The breeding method of a string of scarlet-sowing method

Sowing method: in addition to the self-sowing propagation of shedding seeds, there are two methods of sowing or sowing. Generally, sowing is more common. Spring is generally suitable for sowing. If you want to advance the flowering time or to harvest seeds, you should sow the seeds in the greenhouse or hotbed when it is not too cold after the Spring Festival. A small amount of base fertilizer was applied to the seeding bed, and the bed surface was leveled and watered through. After the water permeated, the seeds could be sown. After sowing, the seeds were covered with a thin layer of fine soil, and the seeds germinated 8-10 days after sowing.

Cutting method: to propagate a bunch of red by the method of cutting, it is generally suitable to choose March-May or September-October. Cuttings select twigs with abundant tissue, and the terminal buds need to be removed and then inserted, so that it is easy to take root. In summer, because the temperature is high and the climate is dry, we should pay attention to shading, cooling and spraying water, so as to keep the soil moist so that the cuttings can take root. The roots will grow out in about 15 days and can be transplanted. Cuttings are a relatively fast and simple method of propagation relative to sowing.

Matters needing attention in a string of red culture

From sowing to sprouting to growing 3 to 4 pairs of true leaves, the stem tip should be removed, and the seedlings with at least 4 lateral branches should be transplanted into the flowerpot, and when moved to the flower bed, it should be when the tip of the branch shows flower color. Generally, when a bunch of red plants are planted in the flower bed, the distance between the plants is about 40 meters.

Soil: raising a string of red is a higher requirement for soil, because a string of red is suitable for growing in weakly acidic soil, so it is required to use sandy weakly acidic soil with loose soil, fertile soil and good drainage.

Lighting: a string of red is a plant that likes the sun, and it is also resistant to semi-shade, so when planting indoors, you should pay attention to putting it in places with sufficient light conditions.

Temperature: a string of red has poor cold resistance, and the suitable temperature for growth is about 23 degrees Celsius. If the temperature is less than 15 degrees Celsius, then a string of red will stop growing, and if the temperature is lower than 5 degrees Celsius, then its leaves will wither and fall off.

Fertilization: in a string of red growth period, we can apply phosphorus-containing liquid fertilizer once or twice, which can make a string of red flowers luxuriant, strong and beautiful during flowering.

Watering: a string of red watering can not be too much, too much will lead to yellowing of leaves, serious even lead to leaf shedding, but also cause large plants but few flowers.

Conclusion: the above is the breeding method of a string of red introduced for everyone. During the growth of a string of red, we should always pay attention to the growth dynamics of a string of red, and always pay attention to coring and shaping to control the height and branching of the plant, so as to make the flower string long and fat. Bloom neatly, in order to ensure a beautiful shape of a string of red.
