The other day, the neighbor pulled off my balcony rail and pointed at the pelt of dust that was running in the middle of nowhere, and asked me, "this is really iron lotus. "i laughed, i didn't talk. Honestly, i didn't believe it a year ago. I was still tortured by the "president" kind of daisom, and the vines crawled on the hanger, cut them hard, cut them up, grew them up, spent a whole year, didn't see a few, but spent a lot of money. At that point, i even wondered if iron lotus, queen fujimoto, did not belong to the balcony。
But it's different now. The pot made the neighbors suspect the flower of life, called "oh la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la it's only about a metre tall, and i've got a half-metre-high climber. When the flowers bloomed last spring, the pink petals were with deep pink stripes, and the sun shined with a radiance of 10 to 15 centimetres, larger than my slaps. The most exaggerating is the amount of flowers, which are packed with flowers from the bottom to the top, with little sight of the leaves, and the neighbours think it's fake. This is the effect of the many natural branches and flowers of the highways, the almost flowering of spring branches and the shortness of the seasons, which can lead to stereotypes at an older age。
Speaking of which, a lot of flowers may think i'm blowing. In fact, there's more than 3,000 of them, and it's really nothing. I stepped on the pit and said it was tears. The first of the "president's" branches could reach two or three metres, and there was no opening on the balcony. Then i learned to figure out where the line came from. The series was developed by the british breeder raymond evessen for containers and balconyes, and he was involved in the cultivation of hundreds of varieties, including josephine, sphinx and thermal monuments. There are three sales points at the heart of the system: small and compact, flowery and resistant。
I'll give you an example of what i raised. These are three types of shears, i. E., shears. After the winter hibernation period, i cut all the roots straight to 10 to 20 centimetres, and next spring the new branch “puzzled” to the outside, but the amount of flowers was even greater. It's scary to trim it, but there's a "pony-tail-cut" on the avenues department where it's 15 to 20 cm hibernation, a scratch and a scissors. After the spring burst, the cut was repeated at the end of august and another wave could be launched in the autumn in october. Two seasons a year, the balcony can be beautiful for six months。
Ultimately, however, the selection of pairs is only the first step, and maintenance needs to be clear about the temperament of the wire. It's a meat root. It's the most scary thing. When i first raised it, i was worried that it was thirsty and watered with two head in three days, and it was too bad to save. Then learned to water one principle: dry water. Put your finger or bamboo in the dirt two centimeters, and then drink it, and don't move. It's easy to apply fertilizers, so the two seasons of spring and autumn have a little green 318s and a gallon of 10 grams, which is more than a year. But there's a pit that doesn't fertilize during flowering, otherwise the period will be shortened。
And there's a point that many people can ignore: ventilation. There's a special taste in the wires, and the worms don't eat, much less than the season. But the ventilation is poor and the powder is still coming. I had a friend who kept the flowers in the corner of the balcony and the leaves were white. So don't be a pain in the ass. The balcony opens the window, it's powdery, and the thin milk or garlic sprays every week. If one goes further, spring and autumn life is subject to a monthly application of low nitrogen fertilizer until the end of the summer, when the iron-line lichen grows stronger。
And when we talk about the recommendations, besides "oh, la, la, la, la. The type of “beer”, which is only 30 to 50 centimetres tall, is completely free of the need to climb, and a small balcony with a big hand-pump can produce an atmosphere full of air, and can be hanged and grown in deep blue, full of flowers, large flowers and multi-season flowering. "cessan" is also a brandy in the boulevard, pure blue flowers with a diameter of about 10 centimetres and a strain of 90 to 120 centimetres, suitable for containers and windowsills. Giselle has been dubbed a pink ceiling with a dark pink belt of ash, particularly advanced, and was launched at the chelsea flower show in 2013, with many branches and large amounts of money, and is a regular visitor to every year's iron lotus match。
By the way, it's probably a small flower in the first year. Relax, it's rooting. As long as the roots are in place, the second year the plant will grow fast, and the third year, even a small balcony, will climb out of a fragrance wall. So starters don't say give up, give it a little time. It'll surprise you。
There's one more thing i have to carry out alone: the soil. A lot of florists don't have a good line. Priority is given to increased asphalting with a platinum-coated iron-coated field, with a pottery and a pottery on the bottom. My own mix is peat with corrugated coconut shells and pearl rock, which is about 3:1:1 so that the roots grow open. Don't use the sticky dirt, it pours water and the meat root of the wire is unbearable。
Speaking of which, one might ask, "what about the balconies? The advantage of the road system is that it's stronger than most wires. I have a flower friend who lives north to the balcony, and has only two or three hours a day to scatter light. It's a light purple star flower with purple red edges, 10 to 12 centimetres in diameter, 6 to 8 petals, sharp edges, as fine as retrolet. In december 2020, he also won the highest prize in the popular horticulture magazine. The party in the north wants to raise the wire, so it's pretty easy to recognize the species。
Finally, to be honest. The balconies have flowers, and they're white. It is not an exaggeration to say that iron lotus is so tough as a wire, so it does not like a month, nor does it need the space and energy of the month. It's good to be happy when you choose the right species and use the right methods to get home from work and have a cup of tea. A friend of mine who's been on the street is welcome to tan your blast maps in the comment area and share your experiences。
I'm the one who raised three wires on a two-metre balcony before turning over. And now, in the corner of the balcony, the delivery box is turned into a flower pot, and "oh, la, la, la." the neighbors came by and asked, "this is really iron lotus?" and i said, "don't believe it." it's not the same
