Winter maintenance of Fruit-hanging Flowers to explore High-yield cultivation techniques of Edible Fungi

With the approach of the New Year, all kinds of hanging fruit flowers are also colorful appearance, orange cinnabar orange, golden bergamot, bright wolfberry fruit, bright winter red fruit and so on. The fruiting period of this kind of fruiting flowers is three or four months long, and it is also more than two months short, implying good luck and prosperity, which is welcomed by people. This type of flower needs to pay attention to the following points in winter maintenance.

Temperature: According to its cold resistance, fruit flowers can be divided into cold-resistant flowers and not cold-resistant flowers. Not cold-resistant flowers because of their plants sensitive to low temperature response, in low temperature will grow poorly, stem leaves yellow withered, fruit is soft, rotten, lose ornamental value. Therefore, for some fruit flowers that are not cold-resistant, the temperature is kept at about 10 ° C at night and about 15 ° C during the day. This plant branches and leaves tall and straight, full of fresh fruit, such flowers are orange, fingered citron, tiger tongue red, rich seeds and so on. Cold-resistant fruit-bearing flowers, because their plants have strong resistance to low temperature, they usually have nothing to do with around 0℃, stems and leaves and fruits will not be frozen and deteriorated, and their environmental temperature requirements are not strict, such as wolfberry, winter red fruit, firethorn fruit, thornless Chinese holly, etc.

Moisture: moisture is an important part of the fruit, water shortage of fruit skin wrinkled, soft feel, serious dry. Therefore, only when the fruit contains sufficient water will it look firm, plump and watery. We are dry and thoroughly watered for general flowers, but for flowers that have been hung with fruits, the pot soil should be relatively moist, which is especially important for evergreen flowers with fruits. Because the plant temporary water shortage will lead to its self-protection function, so that part of the fruit water transferred to the stems and leaves for plant transpiration, resulting in fruit water shortage. Plants short water shortage, watering, fruit can recover, if long water shortage, even if watering can make stems and leaves recover, fruit will still permanently dry, lose ornamental value. Common orange, usually sometimes forget to water, plant leaves soft, orange skin, until watering, orange is still gradually withered, finally dry hanging on the branches, greatly spoil the scenery. Orange plants can often be sprayed with water to increase the humidity around them.

Sunlight: fruit-bearing flowers are best placed in a well-lit place, with sunlight shining best, especially for some plants whose fruits are still green. Because the more anthocyanins in the fruit, the more bright and ruddy the fruit is, and the anthocyanins are synthesized under the action of sunlight, which makes the fruit ornamental.

Ventilation: Fruit-bearing flowers in the fruit-bearing period in the environment to be smooth air, so as to prevent the fruit from being stuffy, early fall.

Finally, fruit-bearing flowers generally do not fertilize in the middle and late stages of fruit-bearing. Fertilization will make fruits fall off and shorten the fruit-bearing period. Fruit flowers in winter because of its poor ventilation or high temperature environment, leading to some bacteria and pests active, breeding. For this phenomenon, common sterilization and pesticides can be used, and ventilation and proper control of room temperature should be paid attention to.
