The breeding methods and matters needing attention of longevity flowers will teach you how to breed them hand in hand.

Longevity flower, also known as longevity flower, dwarf cabbage, Christmas cabbage, natural flowering usually begins in late December and lasts until early May next year, so it is named longevity flower. So how to raise longevity flowers? The following is to introduce the breeding methods and matters needing attention of longevity flowers, and teach you how to breed them hand in hand.

I. Culture methods of longevity flowers

1. Choose the right soil

Longevity flowers have higher requirements for soil, so in the process of culture, we try our best to choose the nutrient soil suitable for the growth of longevity flowers, so as to promote the growth of longevity flowers and ensure the quality of flowers. We can use rotten leaves and river sand to mix evenly and then add the right amount of bone powder to make longevity flower fertilizer, which is not only economical but also rich in nutrition.

two。 Ensure sufficient light

Longevity flowers like plenty of sunshine, if it is family training, they should be placed in places with direct sunlight all the year round, so as to avoid excessive lack of moisture and affect growth. In spring and autumn, longevity flowers can be put in the sun for photosynthesis. In the hot summer season in the north, the light intensity is large, which is easy to make the leaves yellow, so it is appropriate to shade properly around noon, or put in the half-shaded part of the room, but need to pay attention to ventilation and cooling.

II. Matters needing attention in the culture of longevity flowers

1. Watering

Longevity flowers belong to succulent plants, so the demand for water in the growth process is not very high. Although longevity flowers are more drought-tolerant, they can not be short of water in the growing season and can be watered every 2-3 days. In the stage of vegetative growth, the soil must be kept moist and watered at the right time. In summer, longevity flowers can be watered once a day in the environment of high temperature, strong sunshine, large evaporation and dry air. Cold winter, longevity flowers into the dormant period, it should be controlled watering, or even not watered for a short time.

two。 Shading

In the northern hot summer season, the light intensity is large, which is easy to make the leaf color yellow, so it is appropriate to shade the longevity flowers around noon, or put the indoor semi-shade, but pay attention to ventilation and cooling.

3. Temperature

Longevity flower is a kind of short-day flower, so the ambient temperature should be maintained above 12 ℃. If the temperature is too low, the edge of the leaf will turn red and the flowering will be delayed. Flower buds can differentiate only when the temperature is 20 ℃ and the sunshine is 8 hours. After the flower bud is formed, according to the light demand of the plant blossom, let it receive scattered light before 10:00 and after 4pm every day in summer, avoid the strong sun at noon, and cover 40% of the light with a sunshade net. Try to keep it under fluorescent lamps at night, so that summer can continue to bloom.

4. Change the basin

Longevity flowers usually change pots from September to October. The basin soil was mixed with peat, vermiculite and garden soil at 2:2:1. After changing the basin, the light was gradually increased and topdressing began.

5. Light

Longevity flowers have certain requirements for sunlight, and it is not that the longer the sunshine, the better. Longevity flowers need to be evenly exposed to sunlight, so every once in a while, we have to move the position of the flowerpot to ensure the time of sunlight. If there is not enough light for a long time, it will not only lead to slender branches, thin leaves, affect the beauty of plant shape, but also reduce the number of flowering, but also cause a large number of leaves to fall off.

The above is about the longevity flower culture methods and matters needing attention all the content, pay attention to these points, can make the longevity flower grow very luxuriantly!
