Culture methods and key points of firecrackers

Firecrackers is an ideal hanging green plant on the balcony, which can be used in the greening cultivation of balcony flower ponds, dam tops, slopes and so on. Let's take a look at the breeding methods and key points of firecrackers.

Introduction of firecrackers

Firecrackers bloom luxuriantly, long-lasting red, flowers like firecrackers, balcony is an ideal hanging green plant. Warm ground can blossom all the year round, and it has been seen during the Spring Festival, and it is more beloved.

Firecrackers are bright red in color, and a large string of drooping Yan is quite spectacular, such as firecrackers. The warm ground blossoms continuously all the year round, and it has been seen during the Spring Festival and is more beloved. Can be potted furnishings, can also be used in flower beds, mountains and rocks, grass. Firecrackers are slender, drooping, luxuriant, long-lasting and red, the flowers are like firecrackers, it is an ideal hanging greening plant on the balcony, and can be used in the greening cultivation of balcony flower ponds, dam tops, slopes and so on.

Firecrackers, also known as "firecrackers", "auspicious grass", originated in Mexico and Central America. Firecrackers belong to Scrophulariaceae, and firecrackers belong to perennial herbs. Under suitable conditions, it can blossom all the year round.

Firecracker culture method

To cultivate firecrackers, first choose a flowerpot of appropriate size, and the bottom hole of the pot is covered with two tiles or thin foam sheets, not only to ensure that the pot soil is not washed out by water, but also to allow excess water to flow out in time. A layer of ceramsite or broken red brick is placed on the tile or foam to serve as a filter layer, about 2cm to 3cm thick. On the drainage layer, there is machine fertilizer, which is about 1cm thick, and a thin layer of matrix on the fertilizer, which is about 2cm thick to separate the root system from the fertilizer. Finally, the plant is put in and the nutritious soil is filled, leaving about 2cm from the mouth of the basin.

The cultivation of firecrackers should choose an environment with sufficient light and heat and plenty of fertilizer and water. The cultivation environment is too shady, the plant growth is slender, light long branches without flowering, and the climate is too hot and dry, the plant growth will appear premature senescence. The cultivated soil should be loose, fertile and rich in organic matter. in the peak growing season, liquid fertilizer should be applied once or three times a month, the early too thin and dense branches should be trimmed, and the plant height should be controlled to prevent the plant from growing excessively.

Pot Management of firecracker Bamboo

Humidity management

Firecrackers like the humid climate, requiring the relative temperature of the air in the growing environment to be 70-80%, the relative humidity of the air is too low, the lower leaves are yellowing and falling off, and the upper leaves are not glossy.

Temperature management

Because it is native to the tropics and likes the environment of high temperature and humidity, it is very strict in winter. When the ambient temperature is below 10 ℃, it can not survive the winter safely when the ambient temperature is below 10 ℃.

Light management

Firecrackers like the semi-shaded environment, which can give plenty of sunshine in autumn, winter and spring, but shade more than 50% in summer. Put in indoor maintenance, as far as possible in places with bright light, such as well-lit living room, bedroom, study and other places. After indoor maintenance for a period of time, it is necessary to move it to an outdoor shaded place for maintenance for a period of time, so alternately.

Fertilizer and water management

For potted plants, in addition to adding organic fertilizer when potting, proper fertilizer and water management should be carried out in the usual maintenance process, as is the case with firecrackers. First of all, it is the peak growing season in spring, summer and autumn, which needs to be watered every 1-4 days, with shorter intervals in sunny days or high temperatures, longer intervals or no watering in rainy days or low temperatures. In the dormant period in winter, mainly to do a good job of fertilizer and water control.

Key points of firecracker culture

Firecrackers are native to Mexico and like warm, humid and sunny environments. The stronger the light, the better. Therefore, in cultivation, it is necessary to receive as much light as possible, and there is no need for shade in the middle of summer. Firecrackers are afraid of waterlogging, slightly resistant to drought, watering to see dry and wet, neither long-term stagnant water, nor too dry, in order to keep the basin soil moist without stagnant water. When the air is dry, water can be sprayed to the plant to increase humidity. Rotten pancake fertilizer is applied every 10 days or so during the growing period. Keep it in a sunny place indoors in winter, stop water and fertilizer, and maintain more than 8 ℃ to survive the winter safely.

Firecrackers are resistant to pruning, and most of the flowers bloom on twigs, so they should be often pruned in cultivation to promote more shoots in order to achieve the purpose of more flowering.

Change the basin every spring, prune the plant when changing the basin, cut off the overlong and chaotic branches, trim the root system properly, and then plant it into the fertile sandy soil with good drainage and permeability. The propagation of firecrackers can be combined with changing pots in spring, or they can be planted under the condition of 15 ℃ to 25 ℃.

Cuttings should remove top shoots and lower lignified old branches, with three leaf axils as the standard, about 7 to 10 meters long, cut off lateral branches and bury them in the soil. Put in the semi-shade, keep the basin soil moist and a certain amount of air humidity, it can take root in 20-30 days, the tube-shaped flowers of firecrackers are very similar to firecrackers that are about to be ignited.

Blooming on the green and slender branches, giving people a festive and warm feeling. Can be potted or hanging pot planting, decorative balcony, courtyard or hanging under the porch, the effect is good.
