First, when does morning glory commonly seen in rural areas blossom?

Morning glory is at its peak in summer. Morning glory usually blossoms from June to October and usually blossoms at 4 or 5 o'clock in the morning. At about noon, the flowers wither. This is because the morning glory flowers are large and thin, and the flowers are rich in water. When the sun shines, the water in the flowers will evaporate and dry in a short time. If in a shady place, morning glory will wither more slowly, sometimes even in the afternoon the flowers are still in bloom.

Pay special attention to black ugly has a certain small poison, do not take orally.

Third, what is the planting technology of morning glory?

1. Planting: morning glory can sow 4-5 seeds in each pot and break a little heavy skin. Keep the temperature at 25 ℃ and germinate in about 7 days. When the leaves grow out, they can be transplanted to separate the soil from the bracket. When planting morning glory, we should first choose the soil with good drainage, give proper ventilation and sufficient sunshine, irrigate and apply rarefied fertilizer once a month to control the degree of nitrogen fertilizer and prevent the stems and leaves from being too luxuriant.

2. Planting: when the seedlings grow out of 6 to 7 leaves and are about to extend the vine, the whole block is protruded and planted in a billet basin (24 cm in inner diameter). The basin soil should be fertilized and cultivated, and 50 grams of hooves should be applied as base fertilizer, and water should be watered after planting. Morning glory is not afraid of heavy fertilizer, you can use horseshoe, cooked hemp residue and so on as base fertilizer. The development of the root system of morning glory needs temperature, and it is better to absorb heat with black basin than with red basin.

3. Soil: morning glory pots should be planted in early April, with half of ordinary culture soil and half of plain sandy soil. When making a pot, the lower end of the main root will be removed 1 cm, with ordinary culture soil planted in the No. 2 pot, one plant per pot. Pay attention to the open field transplantation of Petunia, never touch the main root, the seedling should be small, should be early, the bigger the better.

4. Water and fertilizer: the cultivation soil with good drainage should be selected for the cultivation of morning glory, which should be given to an environment with sufficient sunshine and good ventilation. During the growth period, the surface of the basin soil should be irrigated slightly dry, and once every half a month, the nitrogen fertilizer should not be too much, so that the stems and leaves should not be too luxuriant, and the potted plants should be supported by pillars.

5. Pick the heart: wait for the basin soil to be implemented, insert a 1-meter-long thin bamboo pole in the center of the basin. Then use about 3 meters of lead wire, one end of the soil surface wrapped around the bamboo pole, and then spiral upward from the basin mouth to form a large and small symmetrical tower-shaped spiral frame. The upper end of the wire is fixed at the top of the bamboo pole. Morning glory is a left-handed plant, the spiral direction of the lead wire must be in line with the habit of morning glory winding to the left, when the main vine climbs along the lead wire to the top of the pole, pick the top. The lateral vine pinches every 6 to 7 leaves, which can make the flowers big and blossom continuously.
