How to grow egg blossoms?

1. Raising seedlings: cuttings or sowing are generally adopted to raise seedlings.

(1) Cuttage: it is generally appropriate to cut the branch from the base of the branch in mid to late May, the length of the branch is 20cm to 30cm, and there is white milk flowing out from the cut, which needs to be placed in a cool and ventilated place for 2mi for 3 days, so that the wound forms a protective film and then cuttage, cutting with milk is easy to rot. Insert it into a clean vermiculite or sand bed or shallow sand basin, change and spray water, place it under the indoor or outdoor shade, spray water every other day to keep the matrix moist. It was moved to the semi-shade place 15-20 days after cutting, so that it could see the weak light. It took root in 30-35 days, and it could be put on the pot in about 45 days. After the cuttings took root and survived, it should be transplanted in time.

(2) sowing: the seeds of egg flowers will split naturally when they are ripe, take out the seeds from the pods and sow them in the seedbed of sandy soil in a rain-proof shed. The optimum temperature for seed germination is 18-24 ℃, which is generally sown with picking. Sow evenly according to the spacing of 5~6cm, then cover with a thin layer of sand or coconut bran. Appropriate amount of water to keep the matrix moist. It takes about 8 to 12 days in spring and 5 days in summer to germinate and sprout, and then carry out general routine management to keep it moist, but the seedling bed can not be waterlogged. When the seedlings reached 10~15cm, the bags were transferred, the seedlings were cultivated in the 20cm × 30cm bag, and when the seedlings reached 40-50cm, the seedlings were transplanted and planted.

2. Planting

The main results are as follows: (1) when planting, sandy loam rich in organic matter should be selected, and the cultivation place should have sufficient sunshine and good drainage. Before planting, base fertilizer should be applied in combination with deep soil ploughing. Fertilizer requirements are not strict, chemical fertilizer, farm manure can be, but organic fertilizer must be completely mature, and should not be buried deep, should not be in direct contact with the root system of egg flower. The distance between rows is 2m × 3m. Organic compound fertilizer was applied once a month in the growing season and stopped in winter. We should pay attention to timely watering in the dry season, keep the soil moist, pay attention to drainage and waterlogging prevention in the plum rain season, and loosen the soil and weed in time after heavy rain.

(2) potted soil is mixed according to garden soil: garbage soil: river sand = 4:4:2, and appropriate amount of mature organic fertilizer can be added. When planting, you can slightly expose the root on the basin, put it in a cool place after planting, and then move to a sunny place after 15 days. Only when it is exposed to the sun in summer can the branches grow stout. The high temperature season in summer and autumn coincides with the peak period of egg flower growth and flowering, so we should pay attention to check the dry and wet condition of the basin soil and water it according to the principle of dry and wet.

3. Watering: egg flowers like to be wet and resistant to drought, but they are afraid of waterlogging. Therefore, watering should be moderate, grasp the principle of no dry, no watering, no watering, no waterlogging. In the spring and autumn interval, the soil is watered once every day from 1 to 2 days, once in the morning on a sunny day in summer, and once again in the evening if the soil is dry. In the rainy season, attention should be paid to pouring the stagnant water in the basin to prevent rotting roots, and once every ten days and a half months in winter to keep the basin soil slightly moist and dry.

Temperature: egg flower is a strong positive flower, the more sunshine, the more luxuriant growth, more flowers and fragrance, except on the pot or after turning the pot to change soil need shade for 7 to 10 days, the rest of the time should be placed in a sunny place. Before the lowest temperature drops to 10 ℃, move into the room and keep the room temperature from 10 ℃ to 15 ℃. Keep the warm air away from TV radiation and air conditioning without falling leaves, but if it is lower than 8 ℃ or poorly ventilated, the leaves will also fall. As long as it is kept above 5 ℃, it will not freeze to death and the leaves will sprout in the next spring.

5, fertilization: like fertilizer, on the basin or turn the basin to change soil, it is appropriate to add 20 grams to 30 grams of bone powder, 50 grams to 80 grams of superphosphate (because it is born in calcareous soil, pay attention to calcium), from May to October, 10 to 15 days to apply a weak mature organic fertilizer or nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium compound fertilizer, avoid single application of nitrogen fertilizer, prevent apprentice growth, do not apply fertilizer in winter.

6. change the basin: the egg flower grows rapidly and needs to be changed once every spring, generally into a 30cm flowerpot. The pot soil can be mixed according to 4 parts of garden soil, 4 parts of horse dung soil and 2 parts of river sand. 100 grams of cake fertilizer or sauce residue and 50 grams of superphosphate or bone powder are added in each basin. After the pot was changed and planted, Grain Rain was watered thoroughly, and the front and rear of the plant was moved to the outdoor sunny place.

7, disease prevention: egg rust leaves on the back of orange pustule or powder, you can choose 25% powder rust Ning 1500-2000 times solution for prevention and control.
