Planting techniques of potted firecrackers

Firecracker flowers are usually cultivated in the open air in balconies, balconies and courtyards, which need to be set up with wooden and iron climbing flower racks, and smaller potted plants can also be displayed in the living room during the Spring Festival, which can bring good luck to the home throughout the year. In addition, it is also a good New year gift for relatives and friends. So how to plant potted firecrackers?

First of all, let's look at the growth habits of firecrackers, and then plant them according to their growth habits. Firecrackers like the sunny environment and fertile, moist, acidic soil. Rapid growth, in South China, can keep the branches and leaves evergreen, can survive the winter in the open field. Because the tendrils are mostly born at the nodes of the upper branches, the whole plant is able to grow firmly on something else.

First, large-scale deep tile pots should be selected for planting.

Because firecrackers grow rapidly and have luxuriant branches and leaves, the best culture soil is mountain soil. Where there is no mountain soil, it can be mainly made of rotten leaf soil or peat soil, plus some compost soil and a small amount of bone powder.

2. Rational watering and fertilization

Firecrackers like the soil moist, so it is advisable to keep the basin soil moist during the growing season. In the dry season and hot summer, it is also necessary to spray water on the branches and leaves 2 or 3 times a day and sprinkle water on the ground around the flowerpot to improve the air humidity. Autumn enters the flower bud differentiation period, watering should be less, in order to keep the potted soil slightly moist. Thin pancake fertilizer and water is applied about every half a month during the peak growing season. After autumn, phosphate fertilizer should be the main fertilizer, and compound fertilizer can also be applied.

Third, it should be put on the shelves in time

Because the firecracker flower has the characteristic of climbing, and the plant grows very fast, it needs to be put on the shelf in time. If cultivated on the balcony, thick iron wire and thicker bamboo poles can be used to form a certain form of frame, and then the stems and vines can be pulled to the flower rack and evenly distributed. When the flowers bloom, the bright flowers are hung all over the shelves and are loved by people. Firecracker flowers can not stand the cold, the northern areas need to enter the house after the winter.

[daily management]

Cultivation sites should be sunny, ventilated and cool. Firecracker flowers are not strict with the soil, but they grow stronger when cultivated in fertile soil rich in organic matter, good drainage and deep soil layer.

Plant holes to dig larger, and apply sufficient base fertilizer, base fertilizer should be mature compost and add the right amount of bean cake or bone powder. The hole soil should be mixed evenly, and should be watered once and let it ferment for 1-2 months before it can be planted. After planting, the first watering should be thorough and shaded. When the seedling grows about 70 cm high, it is necessary to set up a scaffolding, pull its branches on the shelf, and need to pick the heart to promote the germination of lateral branches, in order to facilitate more flowering.

Fertilizer and water should be appropriate. Firecracker flowers are produced quickly, bloom more, and the flowering period is long, so fertilizer and water should be sufficient. Topdressing should be applied once a month during the growth period. Topdressing should use rotten and thin bean cake water or compound fertilizer to promote its luxuriant branches and blossoms. In order to keep the soil moist, the watering times should depend on the soil moist condition. in addition to watering in the hot summer, it is also necessary to spray water to the branches and leaves 2 or 3 times a day and the surrounding ground to improve air humidity. In autumn, when we enter the period of flower bud differentiation, watering should be reduced, and fertilization should be dominated by phosphate fertilizer. The rarefied liquid fertilizer combined with nitrogen and phosphorus is usually applied about 2 weeks in the growing season. Liquid fertilizer dominated by nitrogen fertilizer was applied once in the bud stage to facilitate flowering and plant growth. Watering should be dry and wet, and avoid stagnant water in the basin. Summer temperature is high, watering should be sufficient, at the same time, sprinkle water to the ground near the flowerpot to improve the air humidity. Autumn begins to enter the period of flower bud differentiation, and watering should be less at this time in order to control vegetative growth and promote flower bud differentiation.

For potted firecrackers, it is appropriate to choose a deep tube tile basin, and the cultivation soil should be mainly composed of rotten leaf soil, garden soil and mountain mud, and an appropriate amount of mature compost, bean cake, bone meal and other organic fertilizer should be applied as base fertilizer. After planting, the management is the same as that of land planting. Planting grows better in slightly acidic soil with loose and fertile soil and good drainage; it can be cultivated in the open field in the south, potted in the north, and overwintered in winter, and the potted soil can be cultivated with rotten leaf soil, compost soil and sand soil mixed evenly, plus a small amount of cake fertilizer as base fertilizer.

Adjust the plant shape. Firecrackers are perennial evergreen climbing vines with tendrils that can climb upward with the help of others. In family training, in order to improve the ornamental effect, large and deep flowerpots can be selected when the seedlings grow to a certain height. When the seedlings grow to a certain height, build a flower rack in the pot, tie the stems to the flower rack, and pay attention to uniform distribution and maintenance on the sunny balcony. It can also be planted in a large basin and set up a flower rack on the balcony to grow upward. When the branches grow to a certain height on the attached objects, they need to hit the top to promote the sprouting of new branches to facilitate more flowering. The branches that have already flowered will not blossom in the coming year, but the newly growing branches should be pregnant with buds, so some old branches and weak branches should be cut off in time so as not to consume nutrients and affect flowering the next year.

Firecrackers are not cold-resistant and need to be moved indoors in winter in the north. During the overwintering period, the room should be kept in sunny places, watering should be controlled, fertilization should be stopped and room temperature should be kept above 10 ℃. Generally speaking, the room temperature should be raised gradually in the middle and late December, and appropriate watering and fertilization should be needed at the same time, so that the buds can blossom from February to March. The method of cutting and striping can be used to propagate firecracker flowers, but the method of striping takes root faster and the survival rate is higher. Generally select more than one-year-old sturdy branches after flowering, burn the parts that are ready to be buried in the soil, bury them in about 10 cm thick soil, and fix them with bamboo nails and other things so as not to pop out. Often keep the soil moist, generally in the autumn can be cut off from the mother, another planting.
