Planting method of Celosia cristata on balcony

The cockscomb flower has a stout stem, a large Corolla and a gorgeous flower, which has a certain ornamental value. Planting it as a potted plant on the balcony can often bring some different scenery and amorous feelings to the balcony. Today, the editor will share with you the planting method of cockscomb on the balcony.

As a potted plant, cockscomb should be planted in pot in spring. When 2-3 leaves are extracted from the seedlings of Celosia cristata in spring, we can plant them in a pot. However, the cockscomb should be deeply planted, generally leaving the leaves of the seedlings outside the potted soil.

As we plant Celosia cristata as a balcony, it is appropriate to choose short and branched varieties, and coring treatment should be carried out in time after planting in the pot, so as to promote the young plants of cockscomb to germinate more lateral branches. But if you want a variety with larger plant shape and erect trunk, you don't have to pick the heart.

After the chicken crown flower pot, the management of light and temperature, water and fertilizer should be done in time. In order to provide sufficient light for the plant during the growing period, it is necessary to provide at least 4 hours of light every day, and the cockscomb has poor cold tolerance, so it is suitable to grow in the temperature environment between 18 °C and 28 °C. In particular, the temperature in the maintenance environment should not be on the low side, otherwise the plant growth is relatively slow.

In terms of water and fertilizer, watering during the growing period should be appropriate to keep the basin soil slightly moist, if the original basin soil is too moist, it is easy to cause slow flowering, or even the phenomenon of not blooming. During the growing period, in addition to increasing light, adjusting temperature and watering properly, it is also necessary to apply phosphate fertilizer needed for growth, which can make the plant grow more robust and the inflorescence grow stronger.

After the inflorescence is formed, we should change the pot for the plant in time. Since the initial planting of the upper pot generally chooses a flowerpot with a diameter of about 10 centimeters, then changing the pot should choose a flowerpot with a diameter of about 15 centimeters. The pot should be watered in advance before changing the pot, and then the pot should be changed. Of course, if you want to get more and larger flowers, it is recommended to use a flowerpot with a diameter of 20 centimeters.
