Many bright yellow or dark red flowers will be found in various parks on the streets of cities in China. This is the orchid Canna, which is very beautiful. Many people want to breed it. So what should we do? Let's study hard.

I. light

This plant likes sunshine, so it needs a lot of light. It needs to receive at least five hours of light every day. Plants that grow in dark environments will bloom later. If you put it in a dark place after flowering, you can extend the flowering time, convenient to watch.

2. Temperature

In order to make the plant healthy, the most suitable temperature is 15-30 ℃. In order to extend its viewing time, when it blooms, the temperature can be appropriately reduced, but it can not be lower than 10 degrees, so that its flowering time can be extended. When the temperature is higher than 40 ℃, it is best to place it in a cool and unblocked environment. Before and after the frost, it needs to be placed between 5 - 10 degrees, you can spend the winter safely

3. Humidity

The plant has excellent moisture resistance and needs to be sprayed with water 1-2 times a day. In addition, watering should be done thoroughly to ensure the water demand of plants. In the hot summer, watering should not use too cold water, easy to cause leaf scorch, in addition, if it is too dry, it will appear the same symptoms.

IV. fertilization

In addition to the need to use a certain amount of base fertilizer before planting, fertilizer should also be applied 3-4 times a month in the peak season of plant growth. If there is no flower bud at 20-30 days before flowering, 0.2% potassium dihydrogen phosphate can be sprayed on the leaves to accelerate flowering. Sometimes the leaves of this plant wilt or turn yellow. Generally speaking, it is caused by too much ferrous sulfate or drought. In the hot summer, pay attention to the fertilization should not be too thick, otherwise it will burn the root of the plant, causing the death of the plant. In winter, fertilization should be stopped.

5. Soil

This kind of plant does not have high requirements for soil conditions. It only needs to be loose, fertile and easy to drain water. Whether it is sandy or clayey soil, it can grow normally. Basin soil needs to be composed of sapropel, garden soil, peat soil and mountain mud. Or use rotten leaf soil, garden soil and rice husk ash to mix 2:3:1, and add less bean cake and bone meal. The soil should be kept moist at all times for plant growth. When the fifth leaf grows equally, we need to make up fertilizer in time.
