How to raise cyclamen? how to raise cyclamen?

Cyclamen culture method, fertilization: cyclamen is a fertilizer-loving plant, 2 ‰ potassium dihydrogen phosphate is applied once a year in spring and autumn, nitrogen fertilizer should not be applied during flowering, otherwise it will cause branches and leaves to grow and shorten the life of flowers.

First understand cyclamen habits, cyclamen like sufficient light, cool and humid growth environment, like acid soil, the temperature is too high or too low, will affect the growth of cyclamen flowering. In summer, it should be placed in a moist and ventilated place, and the basin soil should be kept dry to get through the high temperature and cool summer. Light, sufficient light can prolong the flowering time, colorful flowers, lack of light, easy to lead to cyclamen flower color and branches and leaves become light, so that the plant gradually weakens, until exhausted.

Cyclamen culture method

Soil selection: the culture soil of cyclamen can use humus soil, forest rotten leaf soil, furnace ash and so on, and add appropriate amount of calcium carbonate and other chemicals to prepare. This kind of soil is relatively loose, which is helpful to the growth of cyclamen. During cultivation, we should pay attention to the size of the container, gradually increase and can not use large pots to cultivate small seedlings.

Lighting: cyclamen likes sunshine, so cyclamen should be placed in a sunny place for maintenance. Adequate light is very beneficial to their fertility, but they are afraid of direct exposure to strong light in summer.

Fertilization: cyclamen is a fertilizer-loving plant, which is topdressing 2 ‰ potassium dihydrogen phosphate once a year in spring and autumn. Nitrogen fertilizer should not be applied during flowering, otherwise it will cause branches and leaves to grow and shorten the life of flowers.

Temperature: cyclamen can not bear high temperature. Too high temperature will put it into a dormant state. Plants above 30 ℃ will stop growing and go into dormancy, while plants above 35 ℃ will easily rot and die. In winter, the flowering temperature should not be lower than 10 ℃. If the temperature is too low, the flower color will be dim and easy to wither, and the suitable temperature for growth is 15 Mel 20 ℃.

Watering: cyclamen like wet and afraid of waterlogging plants, watering should not be too much, too much watering will cause rotten roots and death. Just keep the soil moist every day.

Diseases and insect pests: cyclamen diseases are more than insect pests, the main diseases Botrytis cinerea and soft rot, mostly caused by bacterial infection, the disease site shows softening rot, the application of methyl topiramate or chlorothalonil to prevent.

Hormone treatment: when the young buds of cyclamen appear, gently spray 1 mg / kg gibberellin on the buds, spray 1 mg / kg of gibberellin 3 times a day, and blossom early for more than 15 days.

Matters needing attention in cyclamen raising

When the summer temperature exceeds 28 ℃, cyclamen seeds will begin to dormancy, the dormancy period is not well managed, and the bulbs are easy to dry or rot, so it is difficult for cyclamen cultivation to spend the summer safely. Strong seedlings are the best way to spend the summer. Sowing annual seedlings, the growth is exuberant, summer dormancy tendency is relatively weak, during the summer to strengthen the management of fertilizer and water, the formation of strong seedlings, so that leaves thick, leaves, color thick and shiny. The heat tolerance of such seedlings is relatively strong, colleagues should do a good job of cooling, cover the sunshade net, increase its ventilation, and spray water around the plant. After late August, cyclamen will enter the growing period and need to strengthen the management of fertilizer and water.

Cyclamen to maintain

Time to change basin

The first time to change the basin is between Qingming and Grain Rain, when cyclamen has grown about 10 leaves, when the outdoor temperature is 18 ℃-25 ℃, the temperature difference between day and night is large. After changing the basin, the nutrient supply area in the matrix can be increased in time, which provides the necessary conditions for the first vigorous growth period of cyclamen.

The second time to change the basin from the Beginning of Autumn to Frosts Descent, this is the last time to change the basin. At this time, changing the basin not only increased the nutrient supply area in the substrate, but also increased the water storage capacity of each watering, providing sufficient water and fertilizer resources for fast-growing plants.

Management after changing basin

After changing the basin, the substrate should be watered thoroughly, pay attention to moisturizing during the slow seedling period, and disinfect the wound with broken petiole in time. The usual method is to spray agricultural streptomycin with 800 times liquid to the plant. You can enter the regular management after about a week.

After the second basin change, cyclamen entered the explosive growth stage, and the demand for nutrients further increased, applying thin fertilizer water fully mature and retted with bean cake or horseshoe every half a month (what flower farmers call strong seedling water). At this time, the plant was in the bud stage, and the foliar was sprayed with 300 Mel 500 times liquid potassium dihydrogen phosphate 3 times a month. In order to have enough light in the process of bud pregnancy, artificial assistance must be adopted to pull the dense leaves around, and if necessary, remove too many leaves from the center of the plant, so that the newly germinated flower buds are fully exposed to light. In addition, according to the growth of the plant, often turn the flowerpot in order to get a plump and neat plant shape.
