What to do with Zinnia?

Zinnia is a beautiful plant, although it is said to be grass, but also can produce beautiful flowers, and rich colors, loved by many people. In life, many people cultivate it as an ornamental plant, but many friends grow plants because of improper management, which seriously affects the ornamental value, so what should be done for the hundred-day grass apprentices? Come and have a look with the editor.

1. Lack of light

Zinnia is a kind of plant that likes sunlight, and it needs sufficient light to support its growth. If it is cultivated in an environment without light or weak light, its branches and leaves can not carry out photosynthesis normally, the phenomenon of overgrowth will appear. In addition, excessive shading is also a common reason.

Solution: you need to keep the hundred-day grass in the sun during the day, and you can move it to an indoor warm environment in the evening and keep the light for 7-8 hours a day, so as to restrain its overgrowth. In addition, it can also be managed in combination with other maintenance techniques.

2. Watering too frequently

Zinnia can not grow and develop without water, but watering can not be too frequent. If the soil is not dry enough, it will easily lead to excessive soil moisture and root growth and formation problems. Its leaves may grow or wither, and in serious cases, it will lead to the death of the whole plant.

Solution: because of the long regulation caused by watering too frequently, it is necessary to appropriately reduce the number of watering, generally watering when the basin soil is too dry, rather than watering frequently every day.

3. Excessive fertilization

Scientific fertilization can make the leaves of zinnia green, bright flowers and longer flowering period, but it should not be overfertilized. If excessive fertilization or only nitrogen fertilizer is applied, it will cause overnutrition or imbalance of nutrition, which will make the leaves of the plant become thicker and grow. Branches grow too high to differentiate flower buds.

Solution: fertilize correctly from the seedling stage, add base fertilizer to the bottom of the flowerpot when transplanting, and then do not apply fertilizer for 2-3 times. Properly replenish calcium fertilizer, apply heavy fertilizer again after picking the heart, and then apply phosphorus and potassium fertilizer after the last pick, so as to make its design more colorful.

4. it is not timely to pick the heart.

When picking the heart, the best way to control the growth of zinnia, in the seedling stage, if the top buds are not removed in time, then it will continue to grow upward, and the final result is less lateral branches, too high plant type, and less flowering.

Solution: if you miss the best time for heart-picking, it is more difficult to save it. If it is caused by heart-picking, you can only replant it, and then you should do a good job of heart-picking treatment. Generally, you can start heart-picking when the plant is 10 centimeters high.
