The balcony, the courtyard, is filled with fragrances, green leaves and white flowers, which are recognized as “natural fragrances”. But a lot of the florist spits: "the bouquets are so hard to feed. It's either yellow leaves falling off or the bouquet fades off." in fact, with six core skills, ordinary families are able to fill their pockets. Taking into account the experience of horticulturalists, this paper shares a full-cycle conservation guide from seedling selection to reflowering, with a guide on pit avoidance, and recommends a collection
I. Varieties selection: 3 main types of species, with less step-by-step choice the pit
1. Varieties by purpose
• the plant's first choice is little leafs (e. G., four seasons, japanese kikis):
- a compact stock (30-50 cm high) suitable for a balcony, a window table, with two to three flowers a year, which is slightly less resistant to cold (more than 5°c for winter)。
• “big leaves” (e. G., police, poaching):
- the leaves are so broad, the flowers are 5-8 cm in diameter, the flowers are so fragrance, they are so hot and wet that they can grow up to 1. 5 m high, suitable for the southern yard。
• sliced flowers for “water plums”:
- the flower-type heavy petals are multi-layered, with long bouquets (7-10 days ' duration), and the branches are well-established and common in flower shops。
2. Three points for sapling pits
• rejection of “hormonal seedlings”: an abnormally thick green, luxuriant and dense plant seedlings, mostly hormonal oxytocin, which can be bought and lost, and selection of a yellow leaf with one or two healthy seedlings。
• checking root systems: never buy “silent seed” entangled in conjuncts with white or light brown。
• better earthballs: net purchases of bare seedlings require one third of the leaves to be cut, the back packs to be wet and the rate of survival is 50 per cent higher than that of light poles。
Soil transfer: acidic fertile soil as a “living foundation”
1. Soil formulation (ph4. 5-6. 0)
• generic formulation: 4 from decayed leaves + 3 from peat + 2 from coarse coconut shells + 1 from pearl rock (facilitated gas, water not rotten roots)。
• improvement of alkaline soil: northern lands require 10 per cent sulfur powder (reduce ph) or 50 g corroded pine needles (natural trim acid) per basin。
• obsessed use of pure garden land: a sticky slab that causes the roots to lack oxygen and leaves to turn yellow。
2. Upscaling techniques
• timing: spring and autumn (15-25°c) is the best, summer is cold and heavy, and winter is less than 10°c suspended for replanting。
• flower basin selection: pottery/green mountain basin (breathing well), 5-10 cm calibre larger than the original earthball, protected from deep basins (3 cm pottery water on the bottom)。
• sapling treatment: new seedlings are planted in a light-dispersed area and water is sprayed on leaves one time a day and one to two weeks before sunbath。
Water core: “see dry wet + acid water conservation”
Frequency of watering
• long-term life (april-september): 2 cm dry on the soil surface, one each in the summer and one in the evenings, with ventilation
• hibernation (october-march): 1 watering in 10-15 days, keeping micro-wet dry and watering at noon at low temperatures (to avoid freezing roots)。
2. Water quality improvement (key!)
• two days of drying of northern piped water (spread chlorine) plus one per month of iron sulphate (1g to 1 l water) or rain-fed, rice-pained water (diluted after fermentation) to prevent iron-deficit yellow leaves (coloural green, foliage yellow)。
Resisting alkaline water: long-duration tap water can lead to soil slabs, with a pot of water next to the flower basin and a small amount of white vinegar (500 ml water + 1 drop) to regulate acidity。
Fertilisation strategy: “by long-term nitrogen fertilizer, phosphorus fertilizer”
1. Four-season fertilizer programme
• spring (march-april): a new gestation with a single application of potassium nitrogen phosphorus every 10 days (e. G. 1,000 times the compound fat) to promote branch growth。
• pregnancy buds (may-june): conversion to high phosphorus potassium fertilizer (1,500 times the potassium phosphate + 1,000 times more than the flower + 2) once a week, with leaf spray + rooting in both ways to prevent falling buds。
• post-flower (july-august): after trimping, release of co-fertilizers (o-green 318s), supplementing consumed nutrients and promoting the emergence of new branches。
• winter (after november): stop fertilizing and “fat life off” during the cold hibernation period。
2. Prohibition of fertilization
• obsessed fat: thin and hard to work, reducing concentration by half, especially to avoid fertilizers being fertilized (perishable)。
• iron emergency aid: when leaves are severely yellowed, they are sprayed with 800 times the liquid surface of sequestered iron for three days and can be recovered twice in a row。
“sun to sun, cut to branches”
1. Light management
• spring, autumn and winter: 6-8 hours of direct light per day (the southern balcony, the garden's best in the open), less light than mundane and less flower。
• summer: midday shade 50 per cent (in the form of sunnets or in the form of light) to avoid foliage burns (in the form of corrosive black spots)。
Cutting techniques
• post-flower shears: after shears shears, shears flowers + shears two to three pairs of leaves (promoting side branches to grow, next time more flowers)。
• cutting: every spring, the twigs, the internal branches and the weak branches are removed, and ventilation is maintained to reduce the growth of red spiders。
• shaping: small leaves can be trimmed into spherical shapes, large leaves can be preserved as main poles, lollipop tree shapes can be constructed to increase value。
Vi. Winterization: the north-south divide in conservation
1. South (above 0°c)
• ground planting: root cover of 5 cm thick straw/pine needles, foliage anti-freezing agent (500 times potassium phosphate) with open-air winter。
• plantation: move to the backwind towards the sun, control the water decomposed and spray the blades with hot water (at >10°c at noon) to prevent the tip of the leaf from drying up。
2. North (under 5°c)
• room heating: moved to the interior (at 5-15°c) in mid-october, away from the heating vent (defrigated leaves)。
• lighting measures: led plants (four hours per day) are used to fill the light when indoor light is insufficient to avoid the weakness of branches。
Vii. First aid programmes for common problems
Yellow hair of new leaves, normal old leaves, iron lack of acid, iron solution of sulphate (1:1000) twice in a row
The flowers fall before they open, the air is dry/fertilized inappropriately
Leaf black spots, rot, high-temperature, high-moisture infections, timely removal of leaves, spraying of 800 times dyson manganese zinc, ventilation and wetting
No flowers for long periods of time, insufficient light/inappropriate trimming, move to the sun and retweet after flowers. Jing
Viii. Reproduction techniques: emits/stamps, low cost expansion
1. Water plugs (90% survival rate)
• cut 10 cm of health branch (with 2-3 leafs) in may-june, slashed down and inserted into a water tank (water level flooding base 1/3)。
• water is changed every two days in the light, with roots around 20 days, 3 cm long and then planted in micro-acid basin soil。
2. High pressure method (suitable for older branches)
• choosing a thick branch in the spring and autumn, stripping it with 1 cm of bark, wrapping it with wet moss + protective film, cutting it off after 4-6 weeks of rooting, directly forming a seedling。
Economic benefits: from perspective to deep processing, small twigs have big business opportunities
• plantation market: a three-year-old bowl with a price of 20-50 yuan and an annual sales volume of over 1 million basins suitable for home gardening studios。
• fresh cut flowers: a one-single larvae with a wholesale price of us$ 1-2 and a short supply of summer bouquets with roses and lily, a 30 per cent premium。
• deep processing: tea (drying petals) and oil extraction, with an income of up to $80,000 per acre and suitable for rural scale cultivation。
No, no, no, no
1. Obsolete alkaline fertilizers: alkaline fertilizers, such as urea, grass-wood ash, increase soil salinization and convert to acidic organic fertilizers (cure, fish protein)。
Do not change the basins frequently: the twilight flower is “stable root” and can be changed once a year, resulting in the loss of leaves due to excessive displacement。
3. Do not spray water on flowers during the flower season: beads with petals lead to decay and can increase air moisture by spraying water on the ground。
Concluding remarks
Although called "cobalt flowers", they also produce a "green leaf like emerald and white as snowball" bursting pots as long as they capture the three cores of “acid soil, rational watering and precision fertilization”. From addressing yellow leaves to promoting recovery, each conservation is a cumulative experience.
