Brief introduction and cultivation skills of red bananas let delicate red bananas bloom for you

Red banana is an ornamental flower, the plant is thin, the bud is as red as a torch, just like a shy girl, Tingting stands in the wind. Let's have a look.

First, a brief introduction to Hongjiao

Red banana is a perennial herb with large leaves and the whole plant is like plantain, while the bracts of the whole inflorescence of red banana together with florets are red and bright, and are more gorgeous against the background of green leaves.

The pseudostem is 1-2 meters high. Leaf blade oblong, 1.8-2.2 m long and 68-80 cm wide, yellowish green on leaf surface, yellowish green on back, without white powder, base significantly unequal, round and without ears; petiole 30-50 cm long, with open narrow wings. Inflorescences erect, rachis glabrous, bracts bright red and beautiful outside, pink inside, wrinkled conspicuously, with a row of flowers in each bract, about 6; male tepals milky yellow, connate tepals 5 (3-toothed), two lateral lobes angled, free perianth apex acute and denticulate, as long as connate perianth segments. The berries are straight, drooping obliquely on the rachis, gray-white, anguless, 10-12 cm long, 4 cm in diameter, 3-3.5 cm long, and there are many seeds in the fruit. The plant is thin and the bud is as red as a torch. it is very beautiful and can be used as a greening material for garden layout. Fruits, flowers, tender hearts and roots are poisonous and cannot be eaten. The pseudostem is 1-2 meters high.

The florescence is canna in summer and autumn.

2. Cultivation techniques of Hongjiao

Red banana potted plants can be cultivated in large-caliber pottery flowerpots and loose, fertile, sandy soil rich in humus. In the whole growing season, the basin soil should be kept moist, but in order to control the overgrowth of plants, the principle of dry and thorough watering must be mastered. When potted plants are cultivated indoors, the potted plants should be moved out of the room regularly and effectively exposed to sunlight to make the leaves green and bright. From early autumn to late autumn, the plant should be fully exposed to the decreasing temperature, make it gradually adapt to the cold climate, and create favorable conditions for overwintering. After winter, the pot plants will be placed on the southward windowsill to enhance the dazzling exposure of the sun and increase the indoor temperature. At this time, to control watering, often spray the leaves with 25 ℃ of warm water to maintain proper air humidity. The temperature should be controlled at 15-20 ℃ in daytime and 10-15 ℃ at night, and the temperature difference should be about 5 ℃. Pseudostem 1-2 m high; leaf blade oblong, 1.8-2.2 m long, 68-80 cm wide, yellowish green on leaf surface, yellowish green on back, without white powder, base significantly unequal, muddy round and without ears; petiole 30-50 cm long, with open narrow wings. Inflorescences erect, rachis glabrous, bracts bright red and beautiful outside, pink inside, wrinkled conspicuously, with a row of flowers in each bract, about 6; male tepals milky yellow, connate tepals 5 (3-toothed), two lateral lobes angled, free perianth apex acute and denticulate, as long as connate perianth segments. The berries are straight, drooping obliquely on the rachis, gray-white, anguless, 10-12 cm long, 4 cm in diameter, 3-3.5 cm long, and there are many seeds in the fruit. Red banana likes fertilizer instead of fertilizer. Barnyard manure and compost can be used as base fertilizer, or fertilizer can be mixed in the soil to make the basin soil have better fertility. The mature organic liquid fertilizer is applied every 15-20 days in the growing season, and the compound granular fertilizer can be applied in indoor cultivation. The period from May to June is the period of scape and flower bud differentiation, and phosphorus and potassium fertilizer can be applied, or 0.2% potassium dihydrogen phosphate aqueous solution can be applied to promote scape sturdiness and early flower bud differentiation. After the flower fade at the end of autumn, the quick-acting inorganic fertilizer can be applied for 2-3 times to make the plant recover as soon as possible. Phosphorus and potassium fertilizers were applied before winter to improve the antibacterial ability of the plant. The suitable period is from May to August, when it is in the peak growth period, and the young plants with good growth can be dug and planted next to the robust mother plant. When putting on the basin, you must choose a shelter and fully water it after planting, but you can't have stagnant water. Keep the soil moist in summer and often spray water to the leaves to properly increase air humidity. Generally speaking, after about 20 days of culture, the seedlings can grow new leaves.
