Tower Pine is able to resist temperatures as low as -10°C, making it one of the tougher Sedum plants and ideal for ground cover in the yard. It is dormant in summer, but it is easy to survive the summer.
Tower Pine
Artificial propagation of the Tower Pine is done by both cuttings and beheading and is extremely easy to do. In the spring and fall growing season, break off the twigs that have grown and developed, as a spike, insert it in the potting soil, control the temperature of the soil, and place it in a place where there is sufficient diffused light, and it will take root in about 10 days and become a new plant. Tasone soil dry before watering, if the light is short, shade for a long time it is easy to grow tall, leaf spacing is not compact enough, futile obvious, more prone to amble, become unattractive.
David’s management is rough, generally available in small diameter pots to cultivate, artificial cultivation of David’s difficulty is not high, propagation is generally cuttings method. David’s plant is small, survival rate is relatively high, is a lot of succulent lovers are very favorite varieties.
David
David is relatively slow-growing, but it is easy to group, the general artificial propagation of David can be used cuttings propagation. David like light, like sunny places, tolerate semi-shade, growing temperature 15-25 degrees Celsius, not less than 5 degrees Celsius in winter. In addition to the winter indoor sunny place maintenance, the rest of the time are placed in outdoor maintenance, summer should be appropriate shade.
Flowers in the growth process is very easy for various reasons and lead to yellow leaves, this time must first figure out the reasons and then treatment, so that flowers can recover as soon as possible. I will introduce you to the three more common causes of yellow flowers and control methods, the need for flower friends can learn.
Cockscomb
1, due to lack of water leaves drooping, should immediately spray water on the leaves to accelerate the plant’s absorption of water, and then water to the pot, at this time, pay attention to should be less watering, so that the soil can be moist, do not water more.
2, in the pot of flowers during the growing period, long-term non-fertilization or insufficient fertilization, etc., will cause yellow leaf phenomenon; applying too much concentrated fertilizer, will burn the roots, affecting the water absorption, will also cause yellow leaves, can be more watering to dilute and wash away the fertilizer in the soil. And the lack of fertilizer can lead to potting soil sclerosis, leaf yellow, thin, skinny, branch slender, yellow, tender, should be immediately fertilized. At the same time, spraying flower strong tilling can promote the buds strong, petals fat, colorful, fragrant flowers, flowers to extend the period.
3, pests and diseases, by the foliage virus infestation after the leaf surface more yellow and green patches, should pay attention to prevention, timely spraying of new high fat film and give sufficient light and ventilation. Aphids, red spiders, etc. in the back of the leaves to absorb nutrients and water, so that the leaves yellow or even the whole plant leaves withered and fall off, timely extermination of insects can be restored.
Orchids are very common flowers in China, and is also one of the varieties that many flower lovers like to collect, due to the many varieties of orchids, so you need to pay attention to the use of different methods in the cultivation of orchids. Some florists do not understand the habits of orchids, it is easy to raise orchids to rotten roots, then how to avoid this problem of orchid root rot?
Orchids
In winter, orchids are in dormant or slow growth stage, the potting soil should be dry; spring and early summer is an important period for orchids to grow roots and leaves, and the potting soil should be moist; however, if it is too wet for a long period of time, it is easy to cause rotting of the roots, yellowing of the leaves, or even death. Because of excessive moisture, the soil becomes waterlogged and poorly ventilated, resulting in insufficient oxygen, hindering root respiration and causing the root system to turn black and rot. Potted orchids must be avoided during the rainy or stormy season, because of the long rain and humidity, black spots are most likely to occur on the new leaves, and the stamens often have the phenomenon of “rotting clothes”, which affects the blooming and ornamental. However, the potting soil is too dry, easy to make the pseudobulb shriveled or other tissue loss of water and affect the metabolism, but also lead to tissue weakness, poor plant growth. In the fall, the potting soil should be wet, so as to be conducive to the next year to draw leaves and flowers. Therefore, orchid keepers should know the trick of “not wet in winter and not dry in fall”. The above shows that orchids have different requirements for water at different times, so the amount of watering should be strictly controlled according to the requirements. At the same time, improper fertilization of orchids is also easy to cause root rot, such as too much fertilizer, too thick or liquid fertilizer into the leaf sheaths, will have a negative impact on the production of orchids. Fertilizer should also be applied according to the amount of watering and increase or decrease the amount of fertilizer, so as to make it grow in a coordinated manner.
We all know that lemon is a good thing, very favorable to human health. In fact, our family can also grow lemons, then potted lemon culture method is how? The following editorial will organize some opinions given by experts to give you a reference.
Potted lemon
Lemon potted planting technology mainly has the following points: seedling and potting. Southern cultivation is large, it is appropriate to use grafting propagation; northern cultivation is small, mainly with cuttings, but also can buy grafted seedlings cultivation. Lemon’s root system on water, nutrients and soil requirements are high, potting soil should be formulated into a permeable, water and fertilizer, slightly acidic culture soil. Potting and potting time, after the fall, early spring can be, according to the local climate flexibility.
Light and temperature
Lemon is a light-loving plant, but the sun is too strong, the growth and development is poor. Generally at noon, the plant needs to be placed in a suitable growth of the average annual temperature of more than 15 ℃, the best growth temperature of 23 ℃ to 29 ℃, more than 35 ℃ to stop growing, -2 ℃ that is, frost damage. Lemon summer generally do not need to be cooled, before the frost into the room, after the Qingming out of the room, can be safe overwintering.
Watering and Fertilization
Lemon needs more water in its growth and development, but too much water is not easy to rot the roots. Generally speaking, spring is the period of the tips of the leaves, buds and flowers, to moderate watering. Summer light, high temperature, need more water. However, it should be in the right amount at the right time, otherwise it will cause fruit drop. Autumn is the autumn growth, fruit rapid expansion period, there must be sufficient water. Late fall and winter is the flower bud differentiation period, potting soil should be dry. Lemon is more like fertilizer, in addition to potting, potting full basal fertilizer, the growing period should adhere to the principle of thin fertilizer diligently. Fertilizer times and fertilization, according to the growth of the trend, the climatic period to determine. Such as the application of liquid fertilizer to fully fermented cake fertilizer water is good, cake water ratio of 1:200. northern soil alkaline, can be added to the fertilizer solution of ferrous sulfate, with a slightly acidic nutrient solution.
Pruning
Pruning is generally divided into winter pruning and summer pruning. Winter pruning should be based on the principle of “delete dense and leave sparse, remove weak and leave strong”, cut off dead branches, short cut weak branches and no first empty role of the overgrown branches. Summer pruning in the non-fruitful trees mainly short cut too long branch tips, in the fruit trees to erase the summer tips, short cut the canopy periphery in the upper part of the decline of the branches.
Promote flowering and fruit preservation
Lemon is a four-season flowering and fruiting tree species, while the northern potted plants are mostly spring flowering and fruiting. Therefore, in the fall after the growth stops, must control water. When the sides of the leaves begin to roll inward, and then moderate watering, in order to promote the differentiation of flower buds. Attention to fertilization in pots, foliar spray fertilizer, cultivate strong fruiting mother branch.
The main measures to protect the fruit, one is to strengthen the supply of fertilizer and water, the accumulation of nutrients; the second is artificial pollination; the third is the thinning of flowers and fruits. Lemon fruit is large, need more nutrients, normal leaf to fruit ratio of 30 to 40: 1. In accordance with the principle of going to the weak to stay strong, evenly distributed, the first is to thin out too many over-dense buds; and then in the young fruit of 1 cm in size, sparing some of the fruits; and finally in the physiology of fruit drop, in accordance with the ratio of fruit to determine the fruit of the leaf. Can also be weak branches do not stay, strong branches only stay 1 fruit.
Jasper, also known as beans green, small family Jasper, pepper grass, for the pepper family evergreen perennial succulent herbaceous plants, Jasper’s leaves turquoise green glossy, beautiful plant shape, and more shade-tolerant, small and lovely, commonly used in white plastic pots, white ceramic pots, placed in the coffee table, decorative cabinets, Pokou racks, desks, very beautiful, refreshing and pleasing to the eye, and other elegant interest. Here with the editor to see the jasper breeding method.
Jasper
Jasper is native to Venezuela, like warm and moist semi-shady environment, intolerant of cold, strong light and drought.
1. Substrate: like to grow in loose fertile, well-drained and humus-rich sandy soil, poor growth potential in clay. The general preparation of substrate can be used in humus + river sand + a small amount of rotting organic fertilizers can be mixed, conditions can choose peat soil and perlite mixed cultivation.
2. Light: like semi-shade or diffused light, in addition to the need for adequate light in winter, the other seasons need to be slightly shaded, especially in the summer more need to be shaded. If placed in the shade of the environment, easy to grow, branch growth, ornamental reduction, is not desirable. In semi-shade conditions, the leaf color is brighter, better luster, especially variegated leaf varieties, the need for sunlight a little higher.
3. Temperature: like warm environment, the growth of the appropriate temperature is between 20-30 ℃, overwintering temperature is best to keep above 10 ℃, below 10 ℃ to stop growing, below 5 ℃ easy to freeze.
4. Humidity: like moist growth environment, in the humidity of the environment under the conditions of luxuriant growth, bright leaves, high temperature or kong dry to strengthen the foliar water spray or sprinkle water in the growth environment to maintain high kong humidity, the growth of the plant is extremely favorable. It can also adapt to a short dry environment, but not for a long time, generally should be maintained at about 70%.
5. Watering: more water-loving, intolerant of drought, in the growing period to water diligently, the temperature is higher than 25 ℃ or kong gas dry to water more, but also to prevent waterlogging, the temperature is lower than 25 ℃ to potting the soil surface dry and then watered, the temperature is lower than 10 ℃, can be dry for a few days without watering can also be tolerated.
6. Fertilization: temperatures above 18 ℃, you need a small amount of fertilizer, temperatures below 18 ℃ or higher than 30 ℃ when less or not appropriate, fertilization is best to do a small number of times to dilute the fertilizer instead of water irrigation is best, intolerant of raw fertilizer and fertilizer, it is easy to cause fertilizer damage. Foliar spraying of fertilizer solution can also be carried out for fertilization, the effect is good. Fertilizer to nitrogen fertilizer, potash-based, phosphorus fertilizer for the second.
7. Pruning and propagation: newborn propagation of seedlings, in the seedling height of 10 cm or so should be centrifuged to increase the number of branches, so that the strain is more plump, appreciate the value is also higher. The pruning of large plants is generally based on the growth, short cuts of long branches, can be used as cuttings, easy to root, can be inserted in clean river sand or vermiculite, can also be directly inserted in sandy soil. Propagation can also be carried out by leaf cuttings and dividing plants, the general propagation needs the environmental temperature between 20-25 ℃, leaf cuttings need to be with a petiole, vertical or slightly inclined inserted into the river sand, the depth of sand into the petiole of 1/4-1/3, to keep the substrate moist and high kong gas humidity, 2-3 weeks can be rooted and produce indeterminate buds. Small buds can be transplanted after a little big.
8. Jasper’s pests and diseases are relatively few, generally appearing diseases are improper care and environmental discomfort caused by, can be adjusted to gradually recover. Pests mainly include red spider, but it can be prevented by maintaining high Kong air humidity, and when it happens, it can be prevented by wiping the leaves with a wet cloth or spraying special killing agents.
The Blue Pine is fast-growing and has a strong root system, making it more heat-tolerant than other succulent varieties. Blue pine in the summer can also continue to grow, artificial propagation is generally based on cuttings.
Blue Pine
Blue pines are propagated mainly by cuttings, but can also be leaf-planted, and can grow into a large pot with little management. If you take cuttings, cut the plants directly, dry them for a week, plant them in slightly moist soil, shade them properly, and they will sprout roots in half a month. You should plant them in planting material with good air permeability, ordinary soil will easily lead to root rot. In spring and fall, wait until the soil is completely dry before watering thoroughly. Summer is the peak growing season, so you can water normally. Stop watering in winter to prevent frostbite.
Wengzhu artificial cultivation is generally controlled in the plant within 1 meter, if it is too high, you need to repropagate and renew. Wengzhu’s artificial cultivation is not difficult, there are many methods of artificial propagation, I will give you a brief introduction.
Wengzhu
Wengzhu is commonly propagated by sowing, cutting and grafting. Sowing seeds, sown in indoor pots in the spring, germinates 10-12 days after sowing, and the seedlings grow faster. Grafting, in May-June, the adult plant cut off the top, prompting the hilly part of the sprouting more children as a scion. Rootstock can be used short hairball or measuring tape (details). Cuttings, grafted seedlings can be removed after 3-4 years of growth of the rootstock, dry and inserted in the sand bed, rooted pot plants.
Phalaenopsis orchid is an epiphytic orchid, which is named because its flowers are very beautiful like fluttering butterflies. However, if the orchid is not cultivated properly, it will wither, so what should be done to prevent the orchid from withering?
Phalaenopsis
1. Poor ventilation: Phalaenopsis orchids like moist and well-ventilated environment. If the air is stagnant and does not circulate when it is in bloom, the top of the flower stem will be easy to wither, resulting in wilting of flower buds.
2、Dry air: If the potting soil is dry, watering is insufficient or it is exposed to strong direct light, it will cause the leaves to be yellow and withered, affecting the differentiation of flower buds and flowering.
3, inappropriate fertilization: too much nitrogen fertilizer, lack of phosphorus and potassium fertilizer. Insufficient phosphorus and potassium fertilizer will affect the formation of flower buds, resulting in non-flowering or less flowering.
4, improper watering parts: watering without attention, so that the water directly into the center point of the leaf base. At this point, waterlogging will easily cause rotting of the leaf base, resulting in poor plant growth and affecting bud flowering.
5, the temperature is not suitable: if the winter temperature is lower than 10 degrees Celsius, summer temperature is higher than 32 degrees Celsius and no shade, affecting flower bud differentiation.
6, soil alkaline is too strong: Phalaenopsis is not adapted to alkaline soil, if the cultivated soil is too alkaline, often watering alum fertilizer, so as to weaken the alkalinity of the soil.
In the sweltering heat of summer rainfall also becomes more frequent, and in mid-July the hot and rainy season can be a very tough challenge for succulents. Succulents are very susceptible to burns, water damage, and growth in the hot summer months, so how exactly should you combat these problems?
White Lotus
Scorch
When the plant receives high temperature, sun burns, we should set up shade for the plant, or immediately moved to a place without direct light, midsummer shall be in the early morning or dusk to give water, to avoid water residue, so as not to cause burns.
In addition, to reduce fertilizer, otherwise it is also easy to burn flesh.
Second, water injury
Summer is the most difficult to control the amount of succulent water, whether due to watering, or because of the rain will cause plant rot, so when the plant due to excessive water and caused by rot, should be rooted to throw out the damaged parts, and re-move to the drainage of good aeration in the medium.
Third, the growth
The long is because of the continuous summer rainy days, succulent long time can not see the light caused by, so once the succulent long we will have to cut off the top buds of the long plants, and leave the appropriate length of the spike, will be transplanted into new pots to propagate separately, will be pruned to the appropriate height of the plant, the rest of the leaves can be propagated by foliage insertion.
