Post-the Beginning of Autumn Flower Management skills

As the old saying goes: on the 18th of the Beginning of Autumn, every inch of grass will bear seeds, that is to say, after the Beginning of Autumn, all plants in nature will seed and end their lives. This solar term is also very important for flower growers. Many flowers need to strengthen fertilizer and water management, cut and maintain in autumn, so as to enhance the stress resistance of plants. For example, the soon-to-bloom sweet-scented osmanthus will add some fertilizer and water containing phosphorus and potash, and it will blossom in September; the plum blossom that blossoms in winter will go through deducting water to promote the transformation of leaf buds into flower buds, and the flower buds will be strengthened by increasing the application of phosphorus and potash fertilizers. and to protect the leaves from falling off; and orchids should maintain the humidity of the air, prevent autumn dryness, and increase the application of fertilizers containing more phosphorus and potash to promote the growth of Chunlan and Chunhui flower buds. (for example, Chunlan just saw the bud to promote its growth.) Chinese wolfberry should be pruned properly to make the autumn flowers bloom and bear fruit. The early chrysanthemum in the chrysanthemum has big buds, and the big chrysanthemum should also be thinned and crossed, and so on. Therefore, there are still a lot of things about flower management after the Beginning of Autumn.

Pruning and picking buds

The hedges such as Hongji wood, golden leaf privet and French holly should be pruned in time; for flowers such as rose, crape myrtle, Milan, jasmine, etc., the stump should be cut off and shrunk properly, and the branches of diseases and insect pests and weak branches should be cut off to promote their germinating new branches to blossom again.
