Although the flower is beautiful, it needs care. Only with your careful care can the flower produce more beautiful flowers and bring you greater harvest.
pay attention to the following points when raising flowers in spring:
Generally, flowers and green plants are potted when they are purchased. It's better to plant them in the original basin after taking them home. Don't move the basin easily, especially at this time when the weather is suddenly warm and cold. Many plants have deep roots. A transfer of the basin will make the nutrition absorption of flower roots unfavorable and cause plant death. When buying, we should also pay attention to whether the potted flowers have been moved when they are sold. Generally, the soil that has not been moved is hard and solid, with lumps, while the soil that has been moved is scattered. Of course, some flowers have been planted for many years. You can choose to move the basin once from March to April, because the climate conditions of these two months are conducive to the survival and growth of flowers.
Fruit plants, such as bergamot and kumquat, should not only keep the pot soil moist, but also spray water on leaves, flower buds and fruits, so as to make their leaves green, flower buds expand rapidly and fruits colorful. Buy back the Hybrid Cymbidium and poinsettia planted in the greenhouse, because the temperature and humidity in the original environment are quite different from that in the family, if not often spray water on the leaf surface, it will often cause the leaves to shrink and dry. For all kinds of pineapple flowers, such as lucky star and high red star, if the room temperature is lower than 10-15 degrees, not only water should be controlled, but also too much water should not be injected into the leaf barrel to prevent heart rot.
As long as the room temperature is not less than 15 ℃, compound fertilizer can be applied once every 15 to 20 days for camellia, tea plum, Rhododendron, Junzi orchid, red plum and Hybrid Cymbidium, etc. all forms of topdressing should be stopped for the stump bonsai and potted foliage plants that have entered the dormant state.
From March to April, for potted ornamental plants, the dead branches and yellow leaves on them and the branches and leaves infected with diseases and insect pests should be cut off and then destroyed. For some varieties, such as Rubber fig and emerald trees, a "start" is needed, that is, cut off the tender head with the highest growth, and cut off the length of 23 cm. After cutting, the section can be sealed with the bottom ash of the pot for disinfection.
Because it's still a warm and cold season, according to the lower limit temperature that different ornamental plants can bear, the potted plants on the balcony must be moved into the room to avoid the cold before the cold wave, or a double-layer plastic shed shall be built directly above the plants to prevent the cold.
The scale insects and whitefly on potted plants should be wiped off with wet cloth in time; the aphids on potted plants can be killed with tobacco powder (silk) soaking water.
