Daily maintenance methods of African Chrysanthemum

Gerbera is the first choice for family vase cut flowers because of its gorgeous color. So how do we care for gerberas at home? Let's go and have a look together!

Gerbera is a beautiful plant, used for home decoration effect is quite good. Gerbera potted plants are often used to decorate doorways and halls, and their cut flowers are used for vase, flower arrangement, decorating desks, display windows and living rooms. With pink gerbera as the main flower, with dendrobium, silk dianthus, orchid leaves, color elegant, taste very strong.

If red gerbera is used as the main flower, with kidney fern, palm bamboo leaves and dry branches, dyed walnut, wall decoration, can produce a strong decorative effect. At the same time, Gerbera, also known as Gerbera flower, originated in southern Africa. Beautiful flower color, delicate posture pleasing to the eye, is an important cut flower decorative materials. Large red gerberas are used in bridal bouquets. It and rose, gladiolus, carnation as the world's best-selling "four cut flowers."

Gerbera can measure whether an indoor environment is good or bad. Gerbera is a light-loving plant, so it should be cultivated in a place with sufficient light. Seedling planting should not be too deep, roots and buds should be exposed to the soil surface. If the light is insufficient, the pedicel is soft and drooping, and the cut flower quality is not high. The growth of gerbera can be used to determine whether a false pipeline is sufficient.

Gerbera conservation

1, pot soil: pots do not have to be too large, large particles with 18cm, medium 15cm, mini varieties 12cm can be, soil must be ventilated and permeable, peat: pearlite =2:1 or replace with other media, commercially available culture soil with peat as the main component can also be, such as Cuiyun and so on.

2. Light: The more the better. Like me, I only have an east-facing closed balcony now. Direct light for 4 hours a day is the bottom limit for normal growth and flowering of gerbera. If dwarf cattle can grow normally without short growth, then gerbera will be fine.

3, moisture: opposite to light, to appropriately limit the supply. Don't rush to water the newly purchased plants. You can often touch the leaves with your hands. If they are stiff, you don't need water. A little soft but not wilting is the best time to supply water. At this time, most of the soil in the pot is still dry, so you can immediately irrigate them thoroughly. If you touch the leaves again within half an hour, they should have become stiff. This is the performance of normal root function (strong water absorption), which is different from the wilting of rotten root plants, and there is no rapid improvement after watering (this situation is often more wilting, more watering, more serious root rot, leading to plant death). Watering should pay attention to fertilizer water do not pour into the heart of the leaf, especially do not pour on the bud, may make the bud rot, increase the possibility of stem rot.

4, fertilizer: to be sufficient and balanced, and other herbs, want to grow strong on the use of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium balanced fertilizer, such as Biwang, spend more than 1, or any other organic fertilizer, chemical fertilizer reasonable use. Adult plant flower promotion with high phosphorus and high potassium fertilizer, flowering, flower No. 2, potassium dihydrogen phosphate, flower liquid fertilizer, etc. can be added before planting sufficient base fertilizer, cake fertilizer, chicken manure, bone meal can be used, mixed best. Don't use too much nitrogen fertilizer, otherwise the leaves will be thick and crowded, just like green vegetables, which will affect the development of flower buds.

How to grow Gerbera in a bottle

1. To raise gerbera, three kinds of vases, high, medium and low, must be prepared. Before arranging flowers, the bottle should be clean. I usually choose pure water at home.

2. Before arranging flowers, I usually use scissors to cut along the roots, cut off 2 or 3 cm, expose fresh roots, insert them into the water, and the inclined surface increases the water absorption area, which is more conducive to transmitting water, especially for such tall flowers. Water transport is the most important.

3. There is a hard stem at the bottom of each gerbera. The florist told me that this thing should not be cut off. It is easy to rot the roots when cutting off flowers. I began to listen to him did not cut, a few days flowers began to bow, take out a look, this hard stem pores are small, so how to transmit moisture? So I cut off 2 or 3 cm, every two or three days.

4, such as hard stems cut, hollow flower stems appear, then the flower stems are easy to rot, so check at least once a day, found rotten stems, must mercilessly cut off the rotten part, until cut to the fresh part, so more conducive to flower growth.

5. During pruning, pay attention to changing vases according to the height of flowers at any time.

6, the flower cultivation process, the most important one "diligent" word, to change the water one or two days, to the late stage, may change the water one day.

7. Do not plant flowers in bottles in direct sunlight.
