How to raise flaming crane flowers

1. Selection of flowerpots

Flamingos are fleshy roots and are sensitive to light, so flowerpots with low light transmittance and many air holes at the bottom should be chosen. So peat basin, black plastic basin and so on are better.

2. Cultivation substrate

Flamingos prefer moist and humid environment, and the cultivation substrate must have strong water and fertilizer conservation and good permeability, and the pH should be between 5.5 and 6.5. Too high pH value will reduce the absorption of iron, manganese, zinc and other leaves and turn yellow; while the pH value is too low, the supply of calcium and magnesium will decrease, which will increase the solubility of some trace elements and lead to mildew when the concentration of some trace elements increases.

3. Humidity

The growth temperature of flamingos is 18 ℃ ~ 30 ℃. During the period of flower bud differentiation, it is necessary to lower the average temperature and reduce the temperature difference between day and night in order to ensure the normal differentiation of flower buds. In winter, when the temperature is not lower than 15 ℃.

4. Light regulation

Flamingos are shade-loving plants, but they cannot be without light, so when placing potted flamingos, pay attention to placing them in places that do not have direct light. If you enter the opening stage, shading is needed to prevent the bud from discoloration or burns, and no shading is needed in the evening or rainy days.

5. Fertilization management

The normal growth of flamingos requires a lot of nutrients, including nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, and trace elements iron, copper, manganese, zinc and so on. Because the wax on the leaf surface of the crane does not absorb nutrients, the root fertilization follows the principle of "thin fertilizer and frequent application". Increase the amount of nitrogen fertilizer during the vigorous growth period in spring and summer, and increase the amount of phosphorus and potassium fertilizer in autumn, the fertilizer liquid can not touch the leaves, fertilizer and water should be controlled in winter to survive the winter safely.

6. Pest management

The common insect pests of flamingos are red spiders and aphids. the prevention method is mainly through the regulation and control of temperature and moisture, adding chemical prevention at appropriate time, and paying more attention to observation in normal time to achieve the purpose of pest prevention.
