Zhu Dinghong likes warm, humid and sunny environment, with the fastest growth rate at 15-25 ℃;
In winter, it will go through a short dormancy of 5 ~ 10 ℃, and the flowers will be more beautiful and beautiful!
It originated in South Africa, Brazil and other places, has strong adaptability and is widely used in China, and has performed well in Guangdong, Fujian, Hainan and other places.
The permeability of soil should be especially good, loose and breathable, and it is absolutely not allowed to accumulate water. Because it is a fleshy rhizome, with large roots and developed roots, but also very fragile.
Suggestion: coconut brick, rotten leaf soil and perlite should be mixed according to 2:1:1.
A small ball is a small basin. A gallon basin or red pottery basin with good air permeability is the best. There are too many big basins of soil. It can't eat them. Never come up with a new ball and give it a whole basin of dry food.
The new red ball has no roots or few roots. Before planting, it must be coated with a layer of fungicide (carbendazim powder), just like a ball rolled in flour.
The reason for this is that the naked root ball is easy to infect bacteria in the process of long root, and it will rot like an onion layer by layer, so the sterilization work must be done well.
If you plant it deep, you must not plant it too deep. You should expose 1 /3 of the sphere outside, or you will only grow leaves and not bloom. When planting, you should first bury some rotten dry chicken manure at the bottom of the flowerpot, which is conducive to flowering.
If the soil is a little wet, do not water it. If the soil is too dry, water it along the edge of the flowerpot. Do not wet the seed ball.
Check the ball at any time to see if it is mildewed or soft, peel off the rotten part in time, and treat the wound with carbendazim again.
After the leaves grow, move to a well lit place for maintenance, and open more windows for ventilation.
It can be planted on the ground, but potted plants are easier to bloom.
The roots of the potted plants will extend infinitely. If you can't find a place to touch, you will grow leaves crazily and flowers will bloom less. The roots of the potted plants are mainly around the basin wall.
Vermilion is fertilizer loving. It is applied twice a year with AOLV slow-release fertilizer, once in early March and once in September. Sprinkle the slow-release fertilizer particles evenly along the edge of the basin, absorb them by watering, and the fertilizer effect can be maintained for half a year. After the flower blooms, you can apply some high phosphorus and potassium fertilizer. It is recommended that meleker's bulbous fertilizer, with a unique ratio, can make it strong and grow up. The next year, there will be more arrows.
1. There is no timely pruning after the red flower withers, and the nutrients cannot be concentrated in the scale ball. If the scale ball is not enough, it will grow small, and it will not bloom if the scale ball is too small. Therefore, cut off the flower stalks in time after flower withering, because this stage after flower is mainly to raise the bulb, which can fully absorb nutrients, make the bulb grow and produce new bulbs. Cutting off the flower stalks is to concentrate nutrients on the bulb.
2. If the overwintering measures are not well done, the soil in the original basin must be put in the greenhouse. When the temperature is higher than 15 ℃ and the basin soil is too wet, the bulbs will grow normally and cannot sleep, which will affect the next year's flowering.
3. In winter, the humidity is high, and the flower buds in the squama are easy to rot, which will also affect the next year's flowering.
4. If the bulbs are planted too deep, the growth will become slow, resulting in only leaves, less or no flowering. When planting, the top of bulb should be exposed to the soil surface.
In the south of Jiangsu and Zhejiang Province, there is no need to cut off water in winter, normal management, more phosphorus and potassium fertilizer, the ball has grown and blossomed naturally in spring, the most important thing is to keep up with the light, the colder the temperature, the more sun.
Put it on a well lit balcony or windowsill. If there is heating, water it and bask in the sun normally. It won't sleep. It will bloom in the next spring.
If there is no heating, cut off the water when the temperature is lower than 0 ℃, wait for the leaves to wither naturally, and then cut off when they turn yellow.
