Piaoxiang rattan is not cold-resistant, the temperature in winter is low, if you want it to survive the winter safely, you must first control the temperature, the temperature should be guaranteed to be above 10 degrees, it is necessary to cover plastic bags for heat preservation. At this time, the growth is slow and the water demand is small, so we should reduce watering and not dry. It likes light, the light is soft in winter, and it should be placed in the lighting department to bask in the sun. Fertilizer treatment should also be stopped to avoid fertilizer damage. In addition, pay attention to the winter can not change pots, easy to frostbite plants.

1. Treatment of Seed Balls

When planting Gladiolus, we should choose high-quality corms with plump shape, no deformity, relatively healthy corms between 10-12 cm.After choosing the seed bulbs, the outermost layer of their epidermis should be stripped off, and then they should be soaked in some low-concentration disinfectant water to disinfect them.After that, take them out and put them in a cool and ventilated place to dry.

2. Planting

When planting it, use soft, breathable, fertile and slightly acidic potting soil.Flowerpots should be transparent enough.After the selected flower soil and the flowerpot are sterilized, the soil is put into the flowerpot, the surface is leveled, and then the sterilized seed ball is put into the flower soil and buried, and the depth is controlled to be about 10cm.Be careful not to plant too deep, otherwise it will be difficult for the seed balls to germinate smoothly.

3. Waiting for germination

After Zhong Hao, it is necessary to provide a suitable environment for the seed ball so that it can germinate smoothly.Specifically, it needs to be placed in a well-ventilated environment with a temperature of about 20 C.Before germination, we should pay attention to providing it with appropriate water, and not let the potting soil dry completely.Whenever you see the pot soil dry, you need to spray water for it with a watering can to keep the pot soil wet.In this way, after a period of maintenance, the seed balls can germinate smoothly.
