Longevity flower farming skills

Longevity flower, dwarf galangal, is a perennial succulent herb, leaves opposite, fertile and juicy, easy to break; terminal cymose, flowers with orange red, yellow, red and other colors, short plant shape, long flowering period, The flowers are luxuriant and the ornamental value is high.

First, the basin should be small and transparent, and the loose sand soil should be planted in the best soil-ceramic pots for better growth, but the interior is not beautiful, and it can be jacketed with plastic pots or porcelain pots. Planted in small purple sand pots or plastic pots. When planting, put a layer of charcoal block or broken hard plastic foam block on the bottom of the basin to enhance its permeability. Although it does not choose the soil, it is easy to rot in the heavy clay, and grows best in the loose and fertile slightly acidic sandy loam. The household potted plants should be mixed with the humus soil and the topsoil of the vegetable garden, and then 5% to 8% of the sand should be added as the culture soil. Add some bone powder or NPK compound fertilizer as base fertilizer during planting.

Second, moderate water control leaves are flourishing, and the fertilizers are rich in phosphorus and potassium. The longevity flowers are succulent plants. The body contains more water, so it is more drought-tolerant and afraid of cockroaches. It grows well under the condition of air drying in high-rise buildings. After seeing the potting soil in the spring and autumn for about 3 days, pour the water once and then keep it slightly moist. In summer, water should be less watered, and it should be poured once every 5 days to 7 days. The longevity flower placed outside should be sheltered from rain and rain during the rainy season. The water is easy to rot and fall or even die. More leafy flowers. After entering the room in winter, it should be poured at noon with water close to room temperature, and poured once a week.

Longevity flower hi-fertilizer, seedlings can be planted for half a month or half a month after planting old plants. After half a month, the nitrogen fertilizer-based liquid fertilizer can be applied to promote the long stems and leaves. After the flowering, a nitrogen-based liquid fertilizer can be applied to promote the liquid fertilizer. Rejuvenation. The rest of the time, except for the summer stop, can only be applied with nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium compound fertilizer. When fertilizing, do not put the fertilizer on the leaves, otherwise the leaves will be perishable. If the leaves are not carefully soiled, rinse off with water. The flowering period of longevity flower is long. It is necessary to break the precepts of no fertilization during flowering. Apply a thin NPK fertilizer or 0.2% potassium dihydrogen phosphate solution every month, so that the late flower will not become lighter due to lack of fertilizer.

Third, longevity flowers like a sunny environment, except for midday noon in the midsummer, the rest of the time should be placed in the sunny place, at least 4 hours of direct light can be seen every day to grow strong. The balcony of the building should be rotated 180 degrees every half month to make it evenly exposed, avoiding the partial crown and reducing the ornamental value. Although the semi-shade can also grow, but the thin leaves of the stems are less colored, far less lush than the sun. If the yin is not easy to fall off the leaves without flowers, or the plants that have been flowering are placed in the shade, the color will become dim, and then the flowers will fall off and wither.

The most suitable temperature for growth of longevity flowers is 15 °C to 25 °C, growth retardation above 30 °C, into semi-dormant state, growth arrest below 10 °C, leaf color redness below 8 °C, flowering period delayed, below 0 °C freeze to death. Therefore, to raise longevity flowers, you must create a small environment that is warm in winter and cool in summer. At noon in midsummer, you should avoid glare and expose to the semi-shade where there is sufficient scattered light, such as under the big tree, under the eaves or northward balcony. Special attention should be paid to ventilation and cooling, and water can be sprayed to the nearby ground, but it should not be sprinkled on the plants.

After the beginning of autumn, from late August to early September, you can gradually see the sun. From October onwards, you should see more sunlight to promote its transformation from vegetative growth to reproductive growth. When the minimum temperature drops to about 10 °C, move into the room and place it in front of the south or west window sill to make it more sunny, keep 10 °C at night, 15 °C to 18 °C during the day, and bloom in December.
