Maintenance methods of family potted flowers in spring

In spring, everything recovers and thrives. The plan of the year lies in spring, which is a good season for flower growth and breeding. for flower lovers, we should not only seize the opportunity to do a good job of flower breeding, but also do a good job of flower maintenance.

1. Reproduction in time

Spring is a good time for flower breeding. General flowers are suitable for sowing, plant division, cutting, striping, grafting and other propagation in spring.

Herbaceous potted flowers, such as asparagus, begonia, paulownia, primroses, etc., are more than indoor pot sowing in early spring; annual flowers, such as impatiens, emerald chrysanthemum, and a bunch of red flowers, can be sown before and after the Qingming Festival.

Some flowers with dense clumps and more tillers in the rhizosphere, or flowers with creeping branches and underground stems, such as hairpin, orchid, hanging orchid, tequila, gentleman orchid, evergreen, asparagus and so on, can be propagated in early spring. Most potted flowers, such as Fusang, rose, jasmine, pomegranate, geranium, tortoise back bamboo, etc., can be cut off robust branches or stems for cutting propagation in early spring; some potted flower species, such as Oviductus Ranae, tiger tail orchid, paulownia, etc., can be propagated by cutting with leaves. Some flowers such as wax plum, green peach, sweet-scented osmanthus, magnolia and so on can be propagated by branch grafting. Branch grafting should generally be carried out in early spring when the sap begins to flow (that is, before germination).

The curved branch pressing method can be used for some flowers with soft branches, such as oleander, eight immortal flowers, southern bamboo, etc., while some flowers and trees whose branches are not easy to bend, such as rubber tree, goose palm wood, Magnolia, Michelia, etc., can be propagated by high branch pressing method.

2. Leave the room at the right time

It is not appropriate to leave the room too early in spring. if it comes out too early, it will be easily damaged by dry wind or late frost, causing tender leaves and shoots to dry up and even lead to the death of the whole plant. Therefore, flowers should come out late rather than early in spring. The time of indoor overwintering flowers in northern China is about the first ten days of April to the middle of May. According to the cold resistance of flowers, such as spring, plum blossom, wax plum, rose, and so on, they can leave the room in early April, while jasmine, Fusang, leaf flower, Milan, Bailan, kumquat, sweet-scented osmanthus, cactus, etc., it is safer to leave the room in the middle of May.

In order not to affect the normal growth of potted flowers, before leaving the room, we should first go through a period of exercise to adapt to the outdoor environment, and then go out for maintenance throughout the day. The specific method is, about 10 days before leaving the room, choose a sunny day at noon to open the window for ventilation, lower the room temperature, increase direct sunlight to make the potted flowers gradually adapt to the external temperature, or leave the room from 9 am to 3 pm on a sunny day, and move into the room the rest of the time. After leaving the room, spray and wash the branches and leaves with clean water at noon every day, and keep the basin soil moist. If you encounter cold spell, strong wind and other bad weather, you should move indoors in time.

3. Change the basin and soil

With the continuous growth and development of potted flowers and the continuous growth of plants, the nutrients in the culture soil in the flowerpot are gradually lacking and the supply is insufficient. Therefore, it is necessary to change pots and soil every year to improve nutritional conditions in order to make potted flowers thrive.

The main results are as follows: (1) the times and time of changing pots should be gradually changed to larger pots according to the growth status of plants, so that the plant size should be commensurate with the proportion of pots. Herbaceous flowers generally change pots and soil once a year; woody flowers and some slow-growing perennial flowers (such as orchids) can be changed every 1-2 years, but the culture soil should be changed every year. Changing pots should generally be carried out during the dormant period and before new buds sprout in early spring, while flowers that bloom in early spring should change pots after flower failure.

(2) the method of changing pots and soil can change flowerpots of the same size if the plant is small. Knock the flower plant out of the original pot, remove about 2 beat 3 from the old soil, and cut off the withered root, curled root and part of the old root. If you use the original basin, you should scrape off the old basin soil, cover the drainage hole of the new basin or the bottom of the original basin with tiles, fill in a small amount of new culture soil, and then place the plant with root protection soil in the center of the basin, then continue to add the new culture soil to 2cm away from the basin mouth, pour through water and place it in the shade for 5 days, and then gradually turn to normal maintenance.

4. Pruning carefully

Pruning can not only make flowers neat and graceful, but also help to promote more flowering. Spring pruning is mainly for branch thinning, truncation and coring, which should be carried out when the sap begins to flow and the buds have not yet sprouted. There are many kinds of flowers, and different kinds of flowers and trees have different pruning time. For the pruning time and methods of all kinds of flowers, see the above-mentioned part of "shaping and pruning of potted flowers".

5. Topdressing and watering

The main results are as follows: (1) topdressing potted flowers in spring is not suitable for topdressing in spring, and the root system in early spring is delicate, so it is easy to suffer from thick fertilizer or organic fertilizer which is not fully mature. In spring topdressing, thin mature liquid fertilizer should be applied, and the principle of "applying thin fertilizer frequently and increasing gradually" should be grasped. At the beginning, it should be applied every 10 to 15 days. With the increase of air temperature, the growth and development of plants should be accelerated, and the times of topdressing should be increased gradually, and it can be applied every 10 days after June. Spring topdressing should be carried out in the evening on a sunny day. The types of topdressing should be different according to different kinds of flowers, fragrant flowers should apply more phosphorus and potassium fertilizer to promote the strong smell of flowers; flowers with foliage-based can be fertilized with nitrogen fertilizer; flowers with flowers and fruits should be fertilized with phosphorus-based fertilizer before flowering.

(2) watering potted flowers in spring will gradually increase with the increase of air temperature in spring, but it should be noted that the amount of watering should not be too large, which can easily cause rotten roots or flower buds to fall off; lack of water will also lead to yellow leaves, deciduous leaves and even wilting and death. Therefore, watering should grasp the principle of "dry and wet", and never pour "half of the water" (that is, wet and dry on the basin soil). Watering in early spring should be carried out in the morning, and the branches and leaves should be sprayed with clean water at noon every day, which is more conducive to the healthy growth of the plant.

Essentials of maintenance of family potted flowers in spring

Spring is coming, and the potted flowers and trees that have been indoors for a whole winter can finally be "elated" and enjoy the spring sunshine. Due to the changeable weather in spring, the management and maintenance of family potted flowers in spring is very important. The municipal urban greening management office reminds the general public to do a good job in growing flowers in spring in the following aspects:

First of all, breed good seedlings. Rose, geranium, pomegranate, Yingchun, etc., can be cut off robust branches in spring. Rhododendron, jasmine like acid soil, can cut sturdy new branches 5mur10cm, remove the lower leaves, preserve the top leaves 3mur4 pieces for cutting. Cutting can use black hill mud, yellow sand as the medium, cutting branches moderate spray, in order to maintain a certain humidity, generally after a month or so can take root. Orchids, tequila and orchids can be propagated by ramets or stolons in early spring.

Spring sowing herbs sown with seeds, such as asparagus, colorful pepper, mimosa, impatiens, a bunch of red, morning glory, peacock grass, can be sown or on demand. Sowing method: first put the soil in the basin, press it slightly, then sow the seeds, and then cover the fine soil. Watering after sowing, generally put the flowerpot into the basin, let the water slowly seep in from the bottom of the basin. Most of them can germinate 3 weeks after sowing, and move the pot to the sun after germination. The seedlings can be divided and transplanted after they grow out of 2 mi 3 leaves. Be careful not to hurt the roots and cut off the stems when transplanting.

Secondly, turn over the basin and change the soil. This is a way to fertilize potted flowers in spring. Generally, small pots are turned once a year, large pots are turned every 4 years, and tall plants need to be replaced with big pots. Some roots grow too dense or have withered or rotten roots, which need to be pruned properly. After turning the basin, it is generally necessary to water thoroughly for the first time, and then put it in a cool place, and then see that the basin soil is dry and then watered again, generally wait for the new roots to grow and then carry out normal watering and move to the sun.

Finally, prune and prune. Should be carried out according to different plants, rhododendron, spring should not be over-pruned, pomegranate, rose, etc., can be cut off dead branches, injured branches or growing dense branches in early spring to promote flowers and leaves to flourish. When changing pots, jasmine should remove the old leaves to promote the germination of more new branches. Vine climbing plants such as Parthenocissus, wood incense, wisteria, roses can be pruned, so that the leaves as far as possible by the sun to grow exuberant.

There are three taboos in the maintenance of potted flowers in spring: avoid cold in spring, outdoor temperature does not exceed 10 ℃, potted flowers should not be moved to the outside prematurely; avoid spring breeze, strong spring wind, so flowers out of the room should be put in shelter; avoid dew night, flowers in early spring should not spend the night outdoors. In addition, watering should be appropriate, but it can increase with the rise of temperature, and you can master dry and wet.

The essentials of maintenance and management of family potted plants in spring, everything is full of vitality in spring. In order to enjoy this green meaning, many people living in the city will move "green" into their homes, but which plants are suitable for raising indoors in spring, but there are some exquisite ones. Let's talk about the key points of spring maintenance and management of family potted plants.

The main points of maintenance and management of family potted plants in spring: first, breeding good seedlings rose, geranium, pomegranate, Yingchun and so on can cut strong branches and cuttings in spring. Rhododendron and jasmine like acid soil, can cut sturdy new branches 5mur10cm, remove the lower leaves, preserve the top leaves 3mur4 pieces for cutting. Cutting can be black mud, vermiculite or yellow sand as the medium, cutting branches moderate spray, in order to maintain a certain humidity, generally after a month or so can take root. Orchids, tequila and orchids can be propagated by ramets or stolons in early spring. Spring sowing herbs sown with seeds, such as asparagus, colorful pepper, mimosa, impatiens, a bunch of red, morning glory, peacock grass, can be sown or on demand. Sowing method: first put the soil in the basin, press it slightly, then sow the seeds, and then cover the fine soil. Watering after sowing, generally put the flowerpot into the basin, let the water slowly seep in from the bottom of the basin. Most of them can germinate 3 weeks after sowing, and move the pot to the sun after germination. After the seedlings grow 3 leaves, they can be divided into seedlings and transplanting, and be careful not to hurt roots and broken stems when transplanting. 2. Turning pots and changing soil is a method of potted flowers and fertilizers in spring. Generally, small pots are turned once a year, large pots are turned once every 4 years, and tall plants need to be changed into big pots. Some roots grow too dense or have withered or rotten roots, which need to be pruned properly. After turning the basin, it is generally necessary to water thoroughly for the first time, and then put it in a cool place, and then see that the basin soil is dry and then watered again, generally wait for the new roots to grow and then carry out normal watering and move to the sun. Third, pruning should be carried out according to different plants. Cuckoos and Yingchun should not be overpruned. Pomegranates and roses can cut off withered branches, injured branches or overgrown branches in early spring to promote flowers and leaves to flourish. When changing pots, jasmine should remove the old leaves to promote the germination of more new branches. Vine climbing plants such as Parthenocissus, wood incense, wisteria, roses can be pruned, so that the leaves as far as possible by the sun to grow exuberant. Pay attention to early spring potted flowers do not move to the outdoor too early, so as not to encounter cold air attack and suffer frost damage. Watering can increase with the increase of temperature, and master dry-wet blending. Key points of maintenance and management of family potted plants in spring 4. When the plants of flowers and plants appear crowded in the original flowerpots, they can consider moving pots in order to give them more growth space and sufficient nutrients. Ye Hongyan, manager of the marketing department of Laitai Flower Mall, said that most flowers and plants are suitable for moving pots in spring. When moving pots, pay attention to soil fertilization and water thoroughly. The method of moving the pot should also be determined according to the type of flowers. Such as rose, when moving the basin, you should pay attention to knock off 2/3 of the soil on the root system, leaving only the soil that wraps the root system. However, the process of Cymbidium is just the opposite, because the roots are different, the soil that wraps the roots should be removed when the pots are moved. It is generally believed that when spring comes, more fertilizer should be added to flowers and plants. But Ye Hongyan says that now as long as the flowers nearing flowering are "watered and fertilized," other flowers and plants can be carried out as usual. For example, the flowering period of rose is around May, in order to make the bud fuller, you should start to pay attention to fertilization now. There are also a lot of specific fertilization methods. Take rose as an example, if the bottom fertilizer is added when the pot is moved, the base fertilizer should account for 20% of the flowerpot volume, and the soil plus plant (note that the root system should not come into contact with the bottom fertilizer) accounts for 60%, and the rest should be watered and filled. If it is still the original basin, the liquid fertilizer should be applied, and the specific amount should be determined according to the actual conditions such as fertilizer concentration and plant size. Liquid fertilizer should be slowly poured down along the edge of the basin and infiltrated into the soil, do not touch the leaves and stems of the plant, so as not to burn the plant. Moisture should be watered thoroughly. But experts also warn that in the spring, you don't have to water more frequently, but it will rot your roots too often. "after watering, you can see that there is water leaking out from the basin. It can also be inserted into the soil with chopsticks, which can be watered thoroughly if it can be easily inserted. Before the next watering, you can insert the chopsticks again. If you can't insert them, it means it's time to water them. " Key points of maintenance and management of family potted plants in spring. Sixth, ventilation should be diligent and the weather is getting warmer. Many people can't wait to take the flowers and plants outside the balcony for a breath of fresh air, but it is still too early. Ye Hongyan said that when the temperature reaches about 10 ℃ at night, the flowers and plants can go out on the lookout. Some netizens suggested that before flowers and plants were put outdoors, windows should be opened every day to "exercise" them to adapt to the environment. Ye Hongyan said that this is a misunderstanding. "window ventilation should be done every day, even in winter." She explained that flowers and plants also need indoor ventilation, and it is very necessary to ensure indoor and outdoor air exchange every day.
