Cultivation methods and maintenance points of Heat-resistant Flowers

Many people like to raise flowers and plants, different regions can raise different varieties of flowers and plants, compared to the north, the temperature is higher in the south, so what heat-resistant flowers can be raised? The flower introduced below is called red thousand layers. It can grow in high temperature areas of about 40 degrees Celsius. The flower blooms with characteristics, much like a bottle brush. The flower quantity is very large. Next, we will learn about its planting points.

1. Basic plant introduction

Red Melaleuca, Myrtaceae red Melaleuca is a green plant, because the flower is very similar to the bottle brush, so it is also called bottle brush tree, red bottle brush, etc., flowers are very characteristic, red flowers, flowering every year from June to August, can be used as garden greening trees or potted plants, such as the environment is suitable, can be evergreen.

2. Plant planting management

Red thousand layer is a relatively small tree species, in the north is rarely seen, some places in the south in the outdoor street or park will be planted, we can use the network when buying, but because there are relatively few, so the price will be higher, buy back plants are mostly with soil balls, so can be directly planted in the yard or flower pot.

3. Selection of soil flower

Red thousand layer on the soil requirements are not strict, if outdoor planting, can be directly planted with garden soil, if potted, then available transparent fertile substrate, such as flower gardening general soil, or peat soil, coconut bran, pearlite, etc., according to the ratio of 2:1:1 planting; flower pot can be selected according to the size of the crown, there is not much requirement for the material.

4, light temperature control

Red thousand layer is a very light-loving green plant, so whether it is outdoor planting or indoor potted plants, we should choose a location with sufficient light, 4-6 hours of light every day is the best, it has a strong heat resistance, summer in 45 degrees high temperature environment grows well, it is also slightly cold, adult seedlings can withstand minus 15 degrees low temperature.

5. Water and nutrient supply

Red thousand layer slightly drought-tolerant, outdoor planting, because the root system will penetrate deep into the soil, so do not need to water frequently, unless it is continuously dry, then we have to keep the pot soil slightly damp; red thousand layer likes thin fertilizer, generally every 2 months or so can be applied to a slow release fertilizer or nitrogen phosphorus potassium compound fertilizer.

6. Daily management matters

Red thousand layer management is usually more worry, but potted words, need to be pruned, in order to control the plant growth is too high, in winter every year, too dense, weak branches cut off, and then the rest of the branches can be appropriately truncated, if the top branch growth is too strong, can be cut off, let it sprout more branches, to grow around.
