Culture methods and matters needing attention of hydrangea

Hydrangea is a common ornamental flower plant in China, and it also has a very large planting area in our country. The color of hydrangea is very bright and there are many kinds of hydrangeas, which were cultivated in the Ming and Qing dynasties in China, and their ornamental value is very high. So now the market demand is also expanding, so how to raise hydrangea? The following editor has brought you the breeding method of hydrangea, let's have a look!

1. Soil selection

Under normal circumstances, the requirement of hydrangea on the soil is not very high, but the quality of the soil will affect the growth ability of hydrangea. If the soil quality is poor, then Hydrangea can grow normally, but its ornamental quality will also be affected. Hydrangea likes to grow in a moist environment. Therefore, we should choose slightly acidic soil with good drainage and irrigation capacity and rich humus before planting. High-quality soil can effectively enhance the growth ability of hydrangea. After selecting the soil, prepare the soil properly, and then apply the right amount of organic fertilizer to improve the ornamental value.

2. Methods of reproduction

There are many propagation methods suitable for hydrangea, such as striping, cutting, ramet and so on. One of the most commonly used is plant propagation, plant propagation can effectively increase the yield of hydrangea, and the survival rate is also relatively high. In ramet propagation, the first thing is to establish a good breeding time. Ramet propagation should be carried out during the germination of new buds of mother plants in early spring. Select the strong mother plant, then select the branches that have already taken root, peel them off directly, smear the rooting agent appropriately, and then plant them directly into the soil. Properly watering, do a good job of shading, after the germination of new buds, you can maintain normally.

3. Water and fertilizer management

Hydrangea has a large demand for nutrition. During the growth period of hydrangea, it is usually necessary to top fertilize once every half a month. Then in order to keep the soil slightly acidic, we can add appropriate amount of ferrous sulfate to the fertilizer solution and properly irrigate alum fertilizer water, which can improve the branch and leaf quantity and quality of the plant. The leaves of Hydrangea are relatively large, and a lot of water is needed during the growth period. Therefore, except after winter, the soil should be kept moist in the other three seasons. Especially in summer, because the water evaporates quickly, it is not only necessary to pour enough water, but also to spray water to the leaves properly.

4. Points for attention

When planting hydrangea, we should pay attention to the maintenance work and adjust the method according to the change of season. In the spring, the old and withered branches should be pruned in time, and the rarefied liquid fertilizer should be applied properly, mainly nitrogen fertilizer. Then in summer and autumn, because the sun is relatively strong, it is necessary to avoid direct sunlight on the leaves and yellow leaves. Then in winter, measures should be taken to keep warm, especially those cultivated in the open field, so that they can survive the winter safely. Good control of temperature and light is the key to ensure the healthy growth of hydrangea.

The above is a brief introduction of hydrangea culture methods and matters needing attention. The breeding method of hydrangea is relatively simple, and it is important to do a good job of maintenance in order to ensure the healthy growth of hydrangea. That's all for today's introduction.
