At present, there is a kind of plant flower in our life called poinsettia, which is a very unique discoloration foliage plant, whose leaves are usually red rather than the green of other plants, so they look very unique. Be curious and loved by many friends. So how to raise poinsettia at this time, and what is the breeding method of poinsettia? Next, let's take a look at the culture method of poinsettia.

Brief introduction of poinsettia

Poinsettia, scientific name Euphorbia pulcherrima Willd. Et Kl, which is often called Christmas red or ivory red, is a shrub plant of the genus Euphorbiaceae. The plant is native to the tropics and subtropics of Central America and is a very unique foliage plant. Poinsettia, its red place is its leaves, with the general safflower and green leaves, poinsettia must be the biggest difference is that the plant leaves are red, looks very unique and beautiful. The flowering and fruiting period of poinsettia is from October of the first year to April of the following year. When flowers bloom, several Cymes are arranged at the top of the branches, and the leaves are alternate, oval-shaped, long-oval or lanceolate.

How to raise poinsettia

There are usually many ways to breed poinsettia, the most common of which are cuttings and strips. As the name implies, cuttage propagation is a method of selecting strong branches of poinsettia to propagate, and its healthy twigs are planted in a loose and breathable mixed soil with good drainage, which can survive quickly. On the other hand, striping propagation generally adopts the method of high-pressure propagation, selecting the first-year strong branches that have been lignified in poinsettia to propagate, and the upper and lower ends of the branches need to be tightly tied with a rope, so that the matrix of the branches will not be dry very quickly. Plants can survive quickly.

The culture method of poinsettia

1. Watering and fertilizing

Plant growth is inseparable from water and nutrients, so the cultivation of poinsettia should always pay attention to the watering and fertilization of plants. In terms of watering, poinsettia is neither drought-resistant nor wet-resistant. Watering must be appropriate, with neither more nor less. It needs to be watered according to the weather at that time, the humid condition of the basin soil and the specific conditions needed for plant growth and water. Usually the basin soil is moist but not stagnant. In terms of fertilization, poinsettia is more fond of fertile living environment. When plants grow and blossom, they need a large amount of fertilizer, and they need to apply fertilizer once every half a month, and apply diluted matured sesame paste residue liquid fertilizer. At the same time, once a week after autumn, until the flower bracts change color.

2. Temperature and light

Poinsettia originated in the tropics or subtropics, like the warm environment, very afraid of cold, so in the breeding process, temperature is a very big problem. Especially in winter every year, when the climate is cold and the temperature is low, poinsettia can not stand the cold in autumn and September, so it is necessary to put it indoors for breeding. at the same time, the temperature of plant growth also needs to be controlled at about 15 to 20 degrees Celsius, so that poinsettia can survive the winter smoothly. In terms of light, poinsettia is highly photogenic and needs sufficient light all the year round. When breeding, it needs to be placed in a place with soft light and sufficient light. 8 to 9 hours of light every day is very good.

3. Soil and heart-picking

At present, the main way for people to raise poinsettia is soil culture, so when raising poinsettia, we still need to pay attention to the soil problems of plants. Poinsettia usually prefer to grow in loose, breathable and well-drained soil, which can be mixed with vegetable garden soil, humus soil, rotten leaf soil, mature cake fertilizer and slag, so that the soil is very fertile and conducive to the rapid growth of plants. In addition, when the plant is customized for a period of time, poinsettia will grow roots, at this time you need to pay attention to picking the heart, leaving 4 or 6 leaf nodes when picking, which is conducive to maintaining the evenness and fullness of the plant, and the plant is also more beautiful.

Conclusion: poinsettia is a very good-looking foliage plant, daily breeding is relatively simple, but flowers need people's careful care to be more beautiful, so it is better to spend more.
