Different flowers have different needs for water. Most of the plants in our family are neutral plants and xerophytes. Flowers and plants such as Clivia and rose are neutral plants that can't be watered more or less, while succulent plants such as succulent plants are xerophytes with low demand for water.
Choice of water:
The tap water at home can't be used to water flowers directly. We can collect natural water, such as rainwater, snow water, lake water or well water, etc., which are the first choice for watering flowers. The tap water can only be used after it has been exposed to the sun, and chlorine can be removed first.
Temperature of water:
The temperature of watering should be consistent with that of flowers. We can put the water beside the flowers for a period of time, wait for the temperature of the two to be almost, and then water the flowers.
How to water:
In addition to the usual method of watering, we can also use soaking basin method and moisturizing method.
Soaking pot method is to put the flowerpot in a shallow plate filled with water, so that the water is slowly absorbed into the soil, so that it can be done in a period of time without watering.
Moisturizing method is to spray water around the flowers with a watering can, for example, some foliage plants, spray water on the leaves or around, which can not only keep the humidity, but also keep the leaves clean.
Principle of watering:
Watering should not always be done once a few days. The most effective way is to judge whether it should be done through the condition of the soil. The so-called see dry see wet, dry pouring, not dry not pouring, that is, the degree of soil moisture.
Use a small shovel to dig the pot soil for about 2cm. It looks white and feels dry. It means watering. In addition, you can lift the pot to feel the weight. If the pot is light, you need watering when it is dry.
When the soil is dry to the degree mentioned above, it needs to be watered and permeable. The standard is that water flows out of the drain hole of the flowerpot
If the surface of basin soil looks wet, there is no need to water it. In a word, dry is better than wet. Don't worry about the water of flowers is not enough.
Consequences of improper watering:
Too much water: the root system can not breathe, suffocate, leading to rotten roots and even death.
Too little water: water shortage leads to flower wilting and withering.
(3) impervious to watering: the root system can not be fully extended and developed, showing that the flowers are short and thin.
The growth of flower mainly needs three elements: nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium. Different elements play different roles in flower. Nitrogen fertilizer promotes the growth of branches and leaves, phosphorus fertilizer promotes flowering, and potassium fertilizer promotes the development of root system and fruit setting. Only when three elements work together can flowers grow well.
Type of fertilizer:
1. Base fertilizer: it is the material used to pad the bottom of the pot, such as chicken manure, mature pine bark, fruit peel, etc., which can be placed at the bottom of the pot as the base fertilizer.
It should be noted that the base fertilizer and the roots of flowers and plants can not be directly contacted, and the middle should be separated by a layer of soil to prevent burning roots.
2. Solid fertilizer: it is the fertilizer in solid state such as compound fertilizer. When using it, dig a small hole in the basin soil and bury 2-3 grains.
3. Water and fertilizer: that is, liquid fertilizer, which can be the fertilizer purchased by oneself and diluted with water, or the upper clear liquid of self-made fertilizer.
When you use it, you should dilute it with the proportion of 1:2000 and then pour it on the flowers.
4. Organic fertilizer: the self-made fertilizer is generally organic fertilizer, such as ripe rice washing water, peel, kitchen waste, bean dregs, etc.
The self-made organic fertilizer must go through the decay first, the method is to put the material water in the sunny place and seal it for about 2 months, and then mix the decomposed fertilizer in the soil or take the upper clear liquid and add water to dilute and then water the flowers.
Principle of fertilization:
"Thin fertilizer, more application", less application each time, once a month in the growth period.
What should I do if I apply too much fertilizer?
① gradually dilute the fertilizer in the soil by soaking basin.
② soil change: clean the soil at the root of the flower and the flowerpot, spread the flower with Carbendazim and put it in the ventilated place to dry, prepare the new soil, and then transplant it into the flowerpot.
The flower that often raises in the home is divided into three kinds: happy Yang, half Yin half Yang, happy Yin.
1. There are roses, chrysanthemums, petunias, cacti, succulent and so on. These flowers basically need full sunshine, usually we should put them in the sunny place of nanyangtai, but if the temperature exceeds 30 ℃, we should also pay attention to shade, so as to avoid sunburn.
2. The flowers with half shade and half sun are gardenia, Swiss cheese plant, camellia, money tree, fiddle-leaf fig, etc. These flowers are generally placed in the living room where there is scattered light, which is more shade resistant. When the temperature is low in winter, you can move to the balcony to have a sun exposure.
3. The flowers that like Yin include pothos, Wenzhu, snake plant, Adiantum, etc. These flowers don't need too much light. They can be kept in a relatively dark house.
Flower friends in the North generally don't need to worry about sunburn, but the most worry is that when the temperature becomes low, the flowers will be frozen. After winter, don't worry if the temperature is not too low during the day. When the temperature is too low at night, please take care to keep the flowers warm indoors.
When buying flowers, flower friends can observe where the quilt they want to buy is placed to judge its demand for sunshine.
The flower that buys back needs to change basin soil commonly, in order to the good growth of the flower, we should choose appropriate flowerpot and soil..
Selection of flowerpots:
According to plant type, we can choose a flower pot 3 ~ 5cm larger than the plant diameter.
Soil selection:
I don't know what soil to use or don't want to match soil. Tell you the lowest soil match: the rotten leaf soil under the tree + river sand should be mixed according to the ratio of 1:1!
The soil must be able to guarantee the looseness and permeability, otherwise the root system of flowers will not develop well, thus affecting the growth of branches and flowers.
Note:
① pay attention to disinfection after digging the soil, first put it on the balcony to dry for 2-3 days for sterilization, you can mix in some carbendazim.
② when changing the pot soil, trim the root of the flower, remove the rotten root and the withered root, then apply the multi fungus spirit, dry it in the ventilation place, and then transplant it into the pot.
③ it can bring some of the original soil into the basin, which is good for the flowers to adapt to the new environment.
