Second, the culture method of medal chrysanthemum

1. Potted flowers

The pot was cultivated in a flowerpot of 10 to 16 cm, and the medium was well drained. The pH value of the medium was 5.8 to 6.2 and the EC value was 1.0 to 1.5. The pot soil was kept dry and watered each time after the pot soil was dry. Watering should be carried out in the morning to keep the leaves dry at night and prevent the occurrence of diseases. Too much water will produce overgrowth, too dry will blossom early, and it is easy to burn leaves in strong light.

two。 Illumination control

Medallion chrysanthemum is a strong positive flower, it needs to grow in sunny places, the flowers need to bloom in the sun, and the flowers will close on cloudy days. Such as the lack of light in the cultivation place, the plant leaves are soft, the buds are reduced, the flowers become smaller and the flower color becomes lighter. On the contrary, there is plenty of sunshine, bright colors and continuous flowering.

3. Temperature regulation

After transplanting into the basin, the temperature can be lowered to 12 ℃ to 16 ℃ at night and 16 ℃ to 22 ℃ in the day. When the temperature is higher than 26 ℃, the plant is prone to overgrowth, and spraying with brucine 9 will have a certain effect. The winter temperature should not be lower than 5 ℃, but it can withstand the low temperature of 0 ℃ in a short time. If the time is long, it is easy to freeze.

4. Cultivation and management

Medallion chrysanthemum is a highly resistant flower that can blossom as long as there is plenty of sunshine. Drought resistance, high temperature resistance, and even saline-alkali resistance, can be said to be suitable for a variety of environments. Medallion chrysanthemum is sensitive to water, although the stem and leaf growth period needs soil moisture, but plum rainy season soil moisture is too much, the plant is easy to be waterlogged, resulting in the death of the whole plant. At the same time, high temperature in summer, the air humidity should not be too high, basin soil should not be stagnant water, otherwise it is disadvantageous to the growth and flowering of medallion chrysanthemum. The abortive flowers should be cut off in time after fade, which can reduce nutrition consumption and promote the formation of more buds. It can continue to bloom when it is planted indoors in winter.

Medallion chrysanthemum has few diseases and insect pests, only some leaf spot, aphids and red spiders, as long as humidity control, and timely use of sterilization, pesticides can effectively control. Usually, leaf spot can be controlled by spraying 25% carbendazim wettable powder or chlorothalonil every 7 to 10 days. Aphids can be sprayed every 10 to 15 days to kill 2000 times or 1000 times dichlorvos. Red spiders can be sprayed with 1500 times of omethoate EC. The growing period varies from season to season, usually the fastest time from sowing to flowering is about 12 weeks, and the seedling period is 2 to 4 weeks.

The above is the introduction of Medal Ju. I hope I can help you.
