The tile basin is breathable and comfortable, but the ornamental is poor; the porcelain basin is strong and beautiful, the plastic basin is light and cheap, but it is not very breathable, in a word, it has some shortcomings. In fact, as long as we use our small brains, we can turn our shortcomings into advantages.
Before beginning to turn over in the spring, prepare some foam plastics (many of them are packed in electrical appliances), and cut them into small pieces of soup balls. When turning the basin, use a piece of thick paper to compare the inner diameter of the flowerpot to form a circle, and then put it in the flowerpot (a certain gap should be left between the paper circle and the flowerpot). Then you can fill the plastic pieces into the gap between the two, the paper circle, and fill the soil as usual, so that the whole task of turning basin is completed.
There are plastic fragments in the inner side of porcelain basin and plastic basin, which greatly increases its air permeability and has a very good effect on the growth and development of flowers. (if plastic particles are used for the basin bottom) )
Broken bricks and tiles make flowers more colorful. No, try it.
It's very expensive to raise flowers in the city. Some people continue to use the old soil after turning the basin, in fact, it is far better than broken bricks and tiles. Broken bricks and tiles are easy to pick up. Specific method: break the waste bricks and tiles into pieces with a diameter of about 0.2-0.5cm. When planting flowers, place the smaller and powdery ones near the root of the plant, and the larger pieces at the bottom of the basin or other parts. Other practices are like planting with soil.
It has the advantages of air permeability, water conservation and fertilizer conservation. Because there are many small voids in the broken bricks and tiles, with strong adsorption capacity, which can quickly absorb the applied water and fertilizer, and play the role of water and fertilizer conservation; secondly, because the bricks and tiles are hard and not solid after being burned, they are water-insoluble, and many small voids in them can be retained for a long time, which is conducive to the air circulation in the soil.
Through the experiment, the pomegranate, Aglaia odorata and Pyracantha, which are raised with broken bricks and tiles, have developed roots, large flowers, many fruits and long flowering period. (because there are less nutrients in the broken bricks and tiles, more fertilizer should be applied than the soil planted ones.)
There are also "herdsmen" in the insect world, that is, ants. Ants like to enjoy the "honeydew" secreted by aphids, so they work hard to graze everywhere - move them to various plants, and act as their voluntary bodyguards to fight back various natural enemies of aphids. In this way, our flowers and trees will suffer. Here is a simple and easy way to solve your urgent need.
If your flowers and trees are placed in a separate pot, and do not contact with other flowers and trees, you can apply sesame oil on the place where the pot contacts the ground; if your flowers and trees are placed in multiple pots on the flower shelf, you can apply sesame oil on the place where the legs of the shelf touch the ground. Ants usually enter the basin from the bottom hole. You can also smear sesame oil on the bottom hole. In this way, everything is OK, the problem is solved completely, and you can rest assured. If you find an ant's nest nearby and drip sesame oil into the hole, the ant will not dare to come out.
The "honeydew" secreted by aphids is fragrant and sweet for ants, and the sesame oil with the same fragrance is the killer of ants. If you have any doubts, you may as well try it.
Rhododendron charming, blooming season, a brilliant spring, attracted people to stop one after another. But if you want to keep Rhododendron on the balcony, the humidity is a headache. Generally speaking, the climate of the balcony is always drier than that of the outdoor, but the Rhododendron needs higher humidity, which forms a pair of difficult contradictions: either it is difficult to put in bud, or it is difficult to remove the red broken fragrance.
In fact, conditions can be created and balconies can also be used to raise cuckoos
Look for a shallow dish or other utensil slightly larger than the Rhododendron potting plant. Put two pieces of wood strips three or four centimeters high between the plates. Then sit the Rhododendron basin on the wood strips and add water to the shallow plate. The height of water is even with the bottom of Rhododendron basin or a little draught. When the water slowly reduces to expose the wood, you can wait for two or three days to add water to the original level.
The reason why this method can effectively humidify is that there is standing water in the shallow plate all the year round or intermittently, which is equal to a simple humidifier with persistent upward transpiration. The higher the temperature is, the faster the transpiration is, which coincides with the humidity requirement of Rhododendron in different periods. Secondly, the water slowly moistens the whole basin wall from the bottom to the bottom, so that it is often in a good state of not too dry and not too wet, which protects the basin soil and root system from the influence of dry air.
This method can be used at ease, cuckoo will not rot. Because water infiltrates from the bottom of the basin, its depth cannot exceed the depth of the shallow dish below; at the same time, the water is moistened in a slow rising way, and the water volume is limited. Moreover, the interval water supply gives Rhododendron a chance to adjust the soil air and humidity.
This method can make Rhododendron grow and bloom as well as on the ground.
Note: .
1. When the cuckoo is turned over, the bottom of the pot is best placed with some foam plastic blocks and other materials. This is safer.
2. The amount of watering should be reduced appropriately. The water for one time is about 2 /3 of that for ordinary potted flowers.
3. In the high temperature period, the effect will be better with the measures such as spraying water to Rhododendron frequently.
All things in the world have a certain life span, and plants are no exception. Although we can't change this trend, we can extend its life by certain methods. Here is a method.
The so-called root of life means that life lies in the root, especially in plants. The root is strong, the root is old, and its life is about to end. So if we want to extend the life of plants, we need to use our brains on the roots - in the spring growth period, we need to remove the potted soil, cut off 1 /3 of the whole root, and then cover the potted soil, and cut off the old root, and soon grow a new fine root. Do this next year and the third year. After three years, the roots have been completely renewed. Compared with the old roots, the new roots have significantly enhanced their ability to absorb water and fertilizer. In this way, it is natural for the old trees to recover their youth.
In addition, one third of the new soil can be replaced after the old roots are removed. After three years, the basin soil is equal to all the renewal, and it also avoids the trouble of turning the basin, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone.
If the vitality of the old pile is acceptable, it can also be cut short by combining with the shape to make it glow with new branches.
Aglaia odorata, the leaves are shiny and green all the year round. When the flowers are blooming, they are fragrant. The small golden flowers like grains of rice, set off by green leaves, are also very eye-catching. If the maintenance is in place, it is not a problem that Aglaia odorata blooms five times a year. Can it blossom every day? There is a way
Generally speaking, after a flower, Aglaia odorata can only bloom again after a period of "rest", that is, it needs to accumulate nutrients to prepare for the next blossom. So it blooms intermittently. If we want her to bloom every day, we need to meet her needs for nutrients artificially. That is to reduce the nutrients consumed by her every flowering through proper bud thinning. Specifically, in the first (or second) spring when Aglaia odorata is full of buds, the flower buds of 1-2 branches can be thinned first, and then the flower buds of 1-2 branches can be thinned after 4-5 days. In this way, it can be operated continuously for more than 6-7 times, and 60-70% of all branches can be thinned after that. In this way, all branches of Aglaia odorata can be opened in turn to achieve The purpose of blooming tiantianxiang every day. According to the procedure, the branches that have not been thinned first bloom, about 5-10 days later, the branches that have been thinned for the first time then bloom, and then bloom according to the sequence of thinned flowers. In total, a pot of Aglaia odorata can make you smell every day for 7-8 months in the whole growth period. (because of its strong fragrance, it's OK to lose some) )
Key points: .
1. Keep up with water, fertilizer and light.
2. The plant should not be too small, at least 10 branches.
It is self-evident that florists love to deal with all kinds of flowers. But you are not only dealing with flowers, but also with various pests. Haha, although you don't like it at all.
Among the pests, aphids and spiders are easy to deal with, and the medicine for the disease is sprayed twice, basically OK. But the scale insect is more troublesome. It has a protective layer - wax shell. Spraying doesn't have much effect on it. It really means that it can't get in. So, apart from manual insect control (brush brush brush), is there a simpler and more effective way? Yes. Don't panic when you find the scale insect. Prepare a bottle of beer, pour out some and add water, the proportion of water is 6 alcohol 1, spray the plant once, and spray all parts as far as possible. Check it carefully the next day. If the insect turns reddish brown and falls off at the touch of it, it must be dead. If there are still alive, spray again. Generally, it can be basically solved after three times of continuous spraying (three days).
Principle: after the beer is sprayed, a sealing film is formed on the insect to make it suffocate. However, it may also be drunk, which needs to be proved by entomologists.
In addition, beer is also a good leaf fertilizer, often spray, plants can grow vibrant, extra spirit. The proportion should be lighter than insect control, water 8 wine 1. If you want to, you can try.
Watering is the first and necessary pass for the gardener. Don't look at the simple watering, in fact, there are a lot of attention, many novice flowers are cut off in the water. As for watering, the so-called "see the dry and see the wet"; more watering in the growth period, less watering in the dormancy period; more watering in the small basin, less watering in the large basin, etc. as you all know, I won't say much. Here are just a few specific watering methods -
1. Sand column method - anti basin soil hardening
When a flower is put into a basin or turned over, several hollow pipes (bamboo tube, plastic tube, iron tube, etc.) shall be placed in the basin first, and then the surrounding soil shall be filled and compacted. Then pour the coarse sand into the pipe, with the upper end flush with the soil surface. Finally, pull out the empty pipe gently, and the sand column will be formed in the basin. Later, when watering, the water only diffuses around through the sand column, so as to prevent the soil from hardening without adverse side effects.
Note: the pipe shall not be placed in the right center, and the place for planting flowers shall be left.
2. Itinerant method: do not pour half cut water
Pour half of the water, that is, the water is not completely poured, the top is wet, and the bottom is dry. If it's often like this, are flowers and trees still immortal? There are several reasons: no experience; the basin soil is too rigid; the basin hasn't been turned over for a long time, the root plate is tangled, and so on. The solution is as follows: if you have more flowers, you can pour them one by one according to the routine without considering whether they are completely poured. After all of them have been poured, they should be poured again from the beginning to the end. Some of them can even be poured for the third time. In this way, the situation of pouring half of the water can be basically eliminated. Because after the first water pouring, even if it is not fully poured, the basin soil has been moistened and softened to a certain extent, so that after a period of time, the second water will be more easily absorbed.
Note: it is unnecessary for basin soil to be loose. If there are not many flowers, you can do something else after watering, and water it again later.
3. Basin sitting method: preventing the lark from rotting
The flower is very beautiful. It looks like a butterfly when it's first blooming. After it's unfolded, it looks like a dancing canary. It can also be used to make bonsai, so many people love to keep it. But in recent years, fewer and fewer people have been raised. The reason is that it is easy to rot. if you are not careful, you will cry. There is a way to prevent it from rotting, that is, sitting in a basin. Put some water in a container, put the potted plant of canary in it, and when the soil surface is wet, it is fully watered, then take it out.
Note: the principle of "see dry and see wet" should also be followed.
4. Noon water - make Jasmine more fragrant
Watering the jasmine in the afternoon can make the jasmine Blossom more fragrant and fragrant. The ancients have already concluded that "if you want to get jasmine fragrance, you can have a ladle of soup in the afternoon". But at noon, watering in the sun is a taboo to keep flowers, just like people can't take a shower immediately when they are too hot. If you want to water the flowers in the afternoon without any accident, you need to put the water under the sun first, and then water it when the water temperature is close to the soil temperature, so it's OK and safe.
Caution: other plants have not been tested, please use them with caution.
The autumn wind rises, and it's harvest time. The vines of Luffa withered like the old man's arms, and the leaves trembled in the wind. Only one old Luffa was still hanging heavily.
In the past, villagers used it to wash bowls and pots, but now nobody uses it. It seems to be a waste. Is it really a waste? No! Remove the old loofah and wash it to dry. When turning over a flower basin for soil or potting, cut it into small pieces of about 5cm. Pave a layer of loofah stem on one third of the basin bottom soil, fill the soil on it, then pave another layer on two thirds of the basin soil, and then add soil, then you can operate normally.
Note: before cutting, first lay it on the ground and smash the seeds with a hammer.
(this method can effectively improve basin soil, make it loose and not harden. And loofah gluten and melon seeds decompose slowly in the basin soil, which is a good long-term nitrogen fertilizer, so the potted flowers are all green and beautiful.
