What are the culture methods and matters needing attention of Carthamus tinctorius? How do you breed? What's the value?

The other name of safflower banana is also called red banana, ornamental plantain, refers to plantain, red banana, so the cultivation methods and points for attention of safflower banana? How do you breed? What's the value? It is understood that when raising safflower bananas, they need to pay attention to water and fertilizer. They prefer fertilizer, but they do not have high requirements for fertilizer. During the growing period, they can apply fertilizer every half a month or so. In the period of growth and differentiation of its flower bud, some phosphate and potassium fertilizer can be applied to promote the differentiation of flower bud.

First, the culture methods and points for attention of Carthamus tinctorius?

Light and temperature

Safflower bananas like a warm environment, which requires sufficient light, can be semi-shaded, and is not very hardy. Carthamus tinctorius needs a suitable temperature during its growth period, which should be kept at 24 ℃-30 ℃. In summer, it should not exceed 35 ℃. In winter, it can continue to blossom if the temperature is not lower than 15 ℃, but if the temperature is 4 ℃, it is easy to cause freezing injury. The environment requires plenty of sunshine, in spring and autumn, sufficient sunshine is conducive to the growth of leaves and the development of flowers, pay attention to not long-term shade, will affect flowering. In summer, it is necessary to avoid strong sunlight for a long time, which will burn the leaves and require proper shading.

Basin soil selection

The cultivation of red banana can choose large-caliber clay flowerpots, and the soil needs to choose acid soil which is loose, fertile, rich in humus and good drainage, and can be made by mixing garden soil, peat soil and coarse sand according to a certain proportion.

Watering and fertilizing

In the growing season, the safflower banana requires the basin soil to keep moist, watering more frequently, and in times of drought, it is also necessary to spray water frequently to maintain a certain degree of air humidity, but avoid stagnant water.

The growth of Carthamus tinctorius needs adequate nutrient support and reasonable fertilization. Base fertilizer should be fully applied during cultivation, and then fertilized once a month during the growing period, with mature thin fertilizer and water. Before the safflower banana blossoms, we should pay attention to applying some phosphorus and potassium fertilizer to promote flowering.

Note:

Pruning

The safflower banana flower has luxuriant leaves and grows rapidly, so it needs to prune the yellow leaves, old leaves and broken leaves during the growing period, and cut off the residual branches after flowering, which is conducive to the germination of new branches and leaves, maintain ventilation and light, and make the plants grow well.

Change the basin

With the growth of Carthamus tinctorius, it is necessary to change the pot in order to make it grow well. Generally speaking, red bananas change their pots once a year.

Diseases and insect pests

In the process of growth, there will be anthracnose, leaf blight and other diseases, as well as the harm of insect pests such as shell insects, whitefly and banana bracts.

Second, how to reproduce?

1. Summary of propagation methods of Carthamus tinctorius

Like other plants, there are many methods of propagation, but the most important ones are sowing reproduction and separate plant propagation, among which the survival rate of sowing reproduction is relatively high. if you are not sure of your own culture technology, it is best to use the method of seed propagation and sowing reproduction, if there are certain propagation and breeding techniques. Imagine that when shortening the growth cycle of Carthamus tinctorius, it is necessary to adopt the method of ramet propagation.

2. Sowing and propagation of Carthamus tinctorius

Sowing and reproduction, it is conceivable that it is a method of propagation of safflower banana using mature seeds. Before sowing seeds, the soil should be configured. The minimum requirement of safflower banana for soil is to be loose and ventilated and not to be hardened. If it is a fertile soil with sufficient nutrients, it would be better. After the soil is prepared, the seeds should be selected, and the selected seeds should be full. Excellent seeds without scratches can improve the survival rate of safflower plantains. When sowing the seeds, sow them evenly. After sowing, cover the seeds and water them thoroughly.

Third, what is the value?

The value of safflower banana

Carthamus tinctorius is a beautiful flowering plant, and its ornamental value is naturally high.

Red bananas usually bloom in summer and autumn, and they are very beautiful when they bloom. The plant is thin and weak, with torches, and the red and bright bracts are very beautiful, which is a good ornamental flower.

Because the flowering period of Carthamus tinctorius is very long, people can plant it in the courtyard, usually in the corner, window and pool, to create a beautiful scene.

In addition, its straight and bright inflorescence can be taken down as a material for flower arrangement.

It should be noted that the roots and other parts of Carthamus tinctorius are poisonous and inedible. You must pay attention to this when raising safflower plantains.
