Culture method of family potted dragon spitting bead flower

Longtuzhu is a perennial plant of Verbenaceae, which is native to West Africa and is a potted climbing flowering plant. Sufficient water is needed in the growing period, and fertilizer is applied every 7-10 days in the flowering season, the perfect pot plant of dragon spitting beads should be planted, the height of branches should be strictly controlled during the growing period, and the branches should be trimmed short to promote the growth of dragon spitting beads.

How to raise the dragon spitting pearl flowers? I believe many people do not understand that it has not been planted in our country for a long time. Next, let's take a look at the culture method of dragon bead flower.

[planting]

Potted dragon spits beads, generally every 1-2 years to change the pot, the time to change the pot in early spring or after the flower fade. When changing the basin, first use broken tiles to cover the drainage hole, and then put a small amount of bone powder as base fertilizer, then load new culture soil (4 parts of rotten soil, 4 parts of garden soil, 2 parts of sandy soil), plant good plants, and leave 2-3 cm along the mouth for fertilization and watering. After changing the basin, pour through the water, put the seedlings slowly in the shade, and then move to the sunny place for maintenance.

[watering]

Longtuzhu is sensitive to water. Stem and leaf growth period to keep saline soil moist, but watering can not be excessive, the amount of water is too large, resulting in only long vines without flowering, even leaves yellowing, withering, root decay and death. Summer high temperature season should be fully watered and properly shaded. It is necessary to reduce watering in winter and make it dormant in order to survive the winter safely.

Potted dragon spitting beads need to master the two main links of watering and pruning. Longtuzhu likes to be moist and requires sufficient water during its growth and development. However, too much watering and excessive dampness in the basin soil can easily cause the leaves to turn yellow and fall off. Watering during the growth period should pay attention to uniform, basin soil often maintain a wet state, should not be too wet or too dry, should not be suddenly wet and dry.

[fertilization]

Fertilizer should not be applied too much. Mature thin cake fertilizer and water should be applied every 7-10 days in flowering season, and fertilizer should be applied continuously for 3-4 times. If yellowing is found in the process of cultivation, it can be combined with topdressing and 0.2% ferrous sulfate can make the leaves change from yellow to green gradually.

[temperature and light]

Longtuzhu needs plenty of light in winter and shade when the summer weather is too hot, otherwise the leaves will turn yellow. When the light is insufficient, it will cause vine growth and do not blossom. Flower bud differentiation is not affected by photoperiod, but strong light can promote flower bud differentiation and development. It should not be kept in the dark for too long. If the temperature is above 21 ℃, the flowers will fall for more than 24 hours.

Put it in the courtyard or on the south balcony after the weather turns warm in spring and give full light in spring and autumn. If it is hot and hot in summer, it should be placed under the shade or in a shaded place. After entering the winter, move into the room to control watering, stop fertilization, put it in the sunny place and keep the room temperature above 12 ℃ to survive the winter safely.

[maintenance points]

Potted dragon beads are often used in 12-15 cm pots, and 3 plants can be planted in each pot. Sufficient water is needed during the growing period, such as excessive soil moisture, which will cause the leaves to turn yellow and fall off. If the branches do not wither, stop watering and let them recover and sprout new leaves. Fertilize once a month, in the flowering season, increase the application of phosphorus and potassium fertilizer 1-2 times, or use "Huiyou" 20-8-20 with high potassium nitrate fertilizer.

In winter, watering is reduced and fertilization is stopped. To shape the beautiful plant type of dragon spitting beads, when the cuttage or seeding pot grows to 15 cm, cut branches 10 cm away from the pot mouth to promote the germination of sturdy new branches. During the growing period, we should strictly control the height of the branches and pay attention to topping and picking the heart, so that the branches will be neat and blossom in the future. Half a month after picking the heart, Bijiu or Daizhuangsu was applied to control the plant height so that the plant was short, leafy and flowered. When changing pots every spring, the aboveground branches are trimmed and truncated to make the plant round, with many branches and flowers.

The dragon spits the pearl leaf color is thick green, the calyx is like jade, the Corolla is scarlet, full of poetic feeling. Potted plants decorate the windowsill or balcony with handsome posture and bright novelty. In the process of storage and transportation, flowers are sensitive to ethylene, and 0.4 mm / L silver thiosulfate solution is sprayed 10 days before storage and transportation. Flowering plants without spraying silver thiosulfate were transported in the dark for more than one day and the transport temperature was 20 ℃, which would cause flowers to fall off.
