Second, how to cultivate crabapple flowers?

1. Soil selection

The rhizome part of crabapple flower is relatively tender and fragile, so the requirement for soil before culture is relatively high. When selecting soil, we must choose loose, fertile and well-drained soil as substrate culture, because if the soil is sticky or strong, it will affect its growth, thus hindering its root growth. Of course, if there are conditions, you can also deploy the culture medium by yourself. The method of blending soil can be mixed with rotten leaf soil and river sand according to 7:3 and then mixed with appropriate amount of cake fertilizer.

2. Watering method

Begonia flowers have strong drought tolerance but can not accumulate water, so watering during culture can only keep the soil moist, but be careful not to be too wet so as not to cause stagnant water, and secondly, it should not be too dry. If the soil is too dry, the absorption capacity of plant roots will become weak, resulting in dehydration, yellowing or wilting of plant leaves, and even death of plants. Watering frequency is usually 3-5 days in spring. In summer, because the temperature is higher, the water evaporation is large, so the watering frequency needs to be watered every 1-2 days, and in autumn, the watering frequency is 4-6 days, while in winter, the low temperature water evaporation is less and the plant activity is low, so the watering frequency is generally 15-20 days.

3. Fertilization method

If you want crabapple flowers to grow brightly and quickly, fertilization is one of the essential procedures. In addition to fertilizing nutritious soil, topdressing should be carried out once a year after flowering, and each time the plant is ditched. When applying rotten organic fertilizer, it can be slowly absorbed by covering the soil and watering it, which can provide it with growth needs. Phosphorus and potash fertilizer is the main organic fertilizer applied in autumn. This can not only meet the nutrient needs of its growth, but also promote its flower bud differentiation.

4. Light temperature

Begonia flowers blossom in spring, usually only once a year, but if the light and temperature are properly managed, they can blossom again in autumn. Specific light and temperature management methods can cool and shade them. When it is hot and rainy from June to July in summer, the crabapple flowers can be moved to a shady and rainy place to cool down. Of course, sunshade and rain shelter facilities can also be built to reduce watering. This can also control the vegetative growth of the plant, and then slowly reduce the amount of water, until the leaves of crabapple flowers wither and fall off into the dormant period, and then carry out a small amount of watering to maintain its growth, and wait until the dormant period is over. and then put it under sufficient light conditions to water and fertilize, so that the flowering buds of begonia can germinate and bloom again.

Conclusion: the above is about whether the crabapple flower is poisonous and the breeding method related introduction, hoped to have the help to the needy friend!
