Fatty odour can be removed by winter fertiliser build-up

　　Friends who like flowers and plants know that fertiliser is very important for flowers and plants, but the taste of fertiliser is heavy, and most people do not like it, so it is a painful thing to give fertiliser to flowers and plants. In fact, there is a solution to this problem, that is, winter fertiliser accumulation, summer flowers.

Monarch (details)

　　I. Mixed fertiliser: Use temporarily unused tanks, barrels and other large containers, put in the life of rice-washing water, meat-washing water, washing freshwater fish water and fish belly, poultry water, etc., and then add an appropriate amount of ferrous sulphate (alum) to kill insects and maggots and reduce the alkaline fertilizer, usually with a double layer of plastic sheeting or plate glass sealing and fermentation. This mixed fertiliser contains nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium and other nutrients, easy to use and safe, is the next year to raise flowers more ideal fertilizer.

　　Second, freeze dried manure: winter cold, after freezing human faeces and all kinds of animal faeces, both odourless and easy to collect, will be collected in a large tank or a large wooden box, sealed with soil. The next year, April and May will be poured out of dried manure, sun and crushed, and then into the wooden box and other containers sealed fermentation, used for potting bottom fertiliser is jasmine and other flowers the best fertilizer.

　　Third, with dung and urine tank accumulation slurry fertiliser: you can use the broken tank or buried tank, will be their own daily urine and feces, poured into the tank, after a long period of decomposition and fermentation, diluted for jasmine (details) Yao irrigation, can make the leaves green and shiny, is the best home flower breeder fertilizer.

　　Fourth, the leaves of fertiliser: all kinds of leaves, into the tank or wooden box compaction, and then poured into the faeces and urine poured into the soil sealing, after half a year of full decay, is used to cultivate flowers such as monarch orchids excellent organic fertilizer.

Notes on the flowering of tiger orchids

　　Many florists have a big misunderstanding about foliage plants, thinking that foliage plants don’t bloom. In fact, foliage plants will also bloom, tiger lily will also bloom, although the ornamental value of tiger lily bloom is not high, but do not think this is a bad phenomenon.

Flowering of tiger lily

　　Tiger Balm is warm and humid, drought-resistant, light-loving and shade-resistant. The soil requirements are not strict, with better drainage of sandy loam is better. Its growth temperature is 20-30 ℃, overwintering temperature is 10 ℃. Tiger Balm can be propagated by dividing plants and cuttings.

　　Flowering tiger lily is relatively rare that is to say, not every plant will bloom and, it is not every year to bloom, may be a few years only once, or even more than ten years, so planting this flower to have patience and perseverance, usually pay more attention to the suggestion that you buy more to remember that different varieties of cultivation together, so that you can make the chances of blooming greatly improved!

Reproduction methods and precautions of bromeliads

　　Bromeliads have a relatively strong reproductive ability, but because they were once introduced by many countries and are widely distributed around the world, they are listed as one of the world’s top 100 invasive alien species. Artificial propagation of bromeliads is not very difficult, so I will give you a brief introduction.

Bromeliad

　　Bromeliads are extremely capable of asexual reproduction. Stolons growing from axillary buds form both new plants. The stolons of the mother plant and the new plant are very fragile and can become new plants after being broken off. Spring will be separated from the mother plant or cut from the mother plant axillary buds into the water, can be rooted, very easy to survive. It can also be propagated by sowing, but it is not often used. Fertiliser can be applied during the growth period to promote growth. Potted plants should be fertilised with humus or pond mud, and filled with water after planting.

　　Fengyinglian like to grow in shallow water and fertile soil in the pond, water depth of about 30 cm is appropriate. China’s provinces mostly use the mother plant to prevent wintering, stocked in the pond in the spring. High temperature season, breeding rapidly. Its various cultivation management with other aquatic flowers.

Introduction to the common methods of propagation of Yu Weng

　　Jade Weng is not difficult to cultivate, but Jade Weng is native to Mexico, so you need to pay attention to the amount of watering, so as not to over-watering Jade Weng death. Jade Weng is a popular variety of cactus ball category, I will introduce you to several common methods of propagation of Jade Weng.

Jade Weng

　　Sowing

　　Sowing propagation in April to June, germination suitable temperature of 15 ~ 25 ℃, 7 days after sowing can germinate. Seedlings grow for a period of time and then divided into loads, several seedlings planted in a pot. Watering should be appropriate, the soil can not be too dry. When the tops of the seedlings grow burrs, they can be divided into pots, 1 pot 1 seedling. It is best to do this in the spring. Overwintering temperature of seedlings is above 10℃.

　　Cuttings

　　Outdoor cuttings in April to October is appropriate, summer heat and rain can not cuttings. However, cuttings can be taken in the greenhouse all year round. The cuttings are made of river sand with a small amount of saw. The full and full of the seed ball as a spike, if the seed ball is too small, easy to rot. The cut surface of the spike should be smooth, the cut surface coated with charcoal powder or sulphur powder and put in the shade, dry for 2 to 3 days, until the juice is dry, the cut surface can be cut after shrinkage. Do not insert too deep, the incision slightly into the soil is appropriate. After insertion in the shade, and spray water to keep the soil moist, 40 days or so can be rooted and live.

　　Grafting

　　Rootstock with cactus or measuring tape (details), scion with the ball, using the flat grafting method for grafting. Don’t water after grafting, put it in a cool place. Grafting method, see the relevant part of the golden amber.

How to keep bear children safe through the summer

　　Kumquat is a lot of succulent lovers like to cultivate varieties, but summer is the dormant season of Kumquat, how to raise Kumquat well in this season, so that Kumquat can safely through the summer is very important. I have compiled some bearberry summer experience for you, if you like, you can learn together.

Bear cubs (details)

　　The growing period of bearberry should be from mid-autumn to mid-spring, at this time, the leaves of bearberry are thick and full, but when it comes to the dormant period, the leaves of bearberry will be shrunken and fall off, which is a normal phenomenon.

　　Bearberry dormant roots also stop functioning, this time it is easy because the medium is too wet rotting roots, every year to the time of dormancy is best to gradually reduce the amount of water, until the heat of the water to the minimum, as for what is the minimum, it depends on the medium. Well-drained medium should be better.

　　Bearberry is best kept out of direct sunlight during dormancy and can be placed in a diffused light environment with increased ventilation to reduce the hot and humid conditions.

Winter need to do a good job of keeping aloe warm

　　Winter for many flower lovers is to pay special attention to, in the cold winter, when the temperature is lower, for aloe vera produce more harm. So keep aloe vera in winter must pay attention to good warm measures, don’t let your aloe vera frostbite.

Aloe vera

　　First, keep warm. Potted aloe vera winter temperature requirements are more stringent, in 5 ℃ when its growth is at a standstill, the lower the temperature, the greater the harm to aloe vera. Therefore, if the winter is not too cold or indoor heating conditions, you can directly move the potted aloe into the indoor wintering; if the temperature can not be guaranteed at 5 ℃ or more, it is necessary to take measures to keep warm. Can dig rectangular pits, potted aloe into the pit, above the bamboo sheet frame, laying a double layer of plastic film sealing, at night if the temperature is too low, can be covered with quilt or grass thatch, daytime at noon in a timely manner to uncover the film, in order to ventilate the air.

　　Second, watering. Should keep aloe vera potting soil dry, 15 ~ 20 days watering 1 time, cold weather can reduce the number of watering or not watering. If the indoor air is dry, you can spray water on the leaf surface, not only to remove leaf dust, but also to reduce the evaporation of water on the leaf surface, which is conducive to keeping the leaves green and verdant.

　　Third, fertiliser. Potted aloe in addition to reasonable application of organic fertilizers, should also be timely fertilizer, winter 40 ~ 50 days after the application of 1 time. Usually with a concentration of not more than 2% of the urea solution, such as watering, foliar fertiliser concentration of not more than 0.1% is appropriate.

　　Fourth, light. In winter, it is desirable to make aloe vera see more sunlight, usually can be placed in a place sheltered from the wind and sunny or south-facing balcony. Generally in the morning after 9 o’clock out, 3 o’clock in the afternoon before moving into the room. In addition, outside the plant can also cover a transparent plastic bag, which does not affect the sunshine into, but also can improve the temperature and humidity.

　　Cover plastic bag method is: with wire in the pot edge tie an arch round bracket, cover the plastic bag, aloe vera and pots with the package, such as room temperature increases, and then promptly remove the plastic bag. This method is simple, but the effect of insulation over the winter is not bad, only cover the bag time can not be too long, otherwise the sun, the bag temperature rises, but also airtight, will make the aloe vera damage.

Yu Li commonly used propagation methods introduced

　　The plant prefers a sunny, warm and humid environment, and its flowering period is from March to April, when the leaves bloom first or the flowers and leaves bloom together, which is very beautiful when it blooms. It has a strong adaptability to slightly acidic soils. Artificial propagation of the Yu Li can be divided, sowing, cuttings, pressure, grafting and other methods, the production of the main planting reproduction is mainly.

Plum

　　First, split-plant reproduction

　　The strong cork, cork many, it is appropriate in the spring before the emergence of the mother plant root cork seedlings with a sharp knife to separate, each plant can be divided into 3 to 5 plants, and then transplanted can be. Generally two years after the survival of visible flowers.

　　Second, cuttings propagation

　　Can be in February to March cuttings, select the annual stout tiller of the lower section, cut the length of 10 cm to 15 cm and with two or three buds as a spike, inserted into the soil 2 / 3. cuttings watered, maintain high air humidity, 1 month or so can be rooted. Because of the roots of Yu Li easily produce adventitious buds, with the root of the propagation effect is also better.

　　Sowing propagation

　　Spring and autumn seasons can be sown, spring can be in late February to late March, autumn can be in September to mid-October, but autumn sowing is good. Seeds can be collected in early June, pile ripe after the seeds are washed and dried, to autumn sowing, or seeds for low-temperature sand, the following spring open field sowing can be. The amount of seed sown per square metre of about 10 grams can be, sowing depth of 4 cm to 5 cm, after sowing covered with a layer of fine soil, and straw or other objects to cover the surface, to maintain soil humidity, so that it emerges neatly.

　　Fourth, grafting propagation

　　Grafting is mainly used “T” shaped budding, selecting robust 2012-year-old excellent Yu Li varieties as scion, rootstock can be used robust apricot, plum, peach, cherry and so on. When taking buds, first in the buds of the upper 1 cm with a sharp knife cut into, through the xylem cut to the buds under 1 cm, take off the buds with a wet towel package. Carve out a “T” shape on the rootstock, set the bud into the rootstock, align the upper end with the formation layer, and then tie it with plastic tape. The graft has a high affinity and is relatively easy to survive, so untie and cut the rootstock after it has survived. Plum is also often used as a rootstock for peach, apricot and plum.

Celestial chrysanthemum sowing and cuttings propagation method introduced

　　It prefers hot, dry and sunny environments, and has a strong adaptability, but does not tolerate acidic soils. Chrysanthemum is a good wind and sand plant, usually planted as an annual herb, the flowering period for the July-October, artificial propagation can be sown and cuttings.

Chrysanthemum

　　Sowing Propagation

　　Sowing is often carried out in summer, and the best way to sterilise the substrate for sowing is to put it into a pan and fry it hot, so that any pests and diseases can be scalded to death. Soak the seeds in warm water (about the same temperature as washing water) for 3 to 10 hours until they absorb water and swell up. For very common seeds that germinate easily, this work can be left out. For tiny seeds that are difficult to pinch up by hand or other tools, you can wet the end of a toothpick with water, stick the seeds one by one on the surface of the substrate, cover the substrate 1cm thick, and then put the sown pots into the water to a depth of 1/2 to 2/3 of the height of the pots, and let the water slowly soak up. For seeds that can be clamped up by hand or other tools with larger seeds, put the seeds directly into the substrate, according to the 3 × 3 cm spacing spot sowing. Cover the substrate after sowing with a thickness of 2 to 3 times that of the seed grain. After sowing, you can use a sprayer or a fine hole shower to drench the sowing substrate, and then drench it later when the potting soil is slightly dry, but still pay attention to the watering strength should not be too strong, so as not to wash up the seeds; Management after sowing: after sowing, when the seedling emerges from the soil, you need to remove the film in a timely manner, and let the seedling accept the sun’s rays every day before 9:30 a.m. or after 3:30 p.m. Otherwise, the seedling will grow very tender; After most of the seeds come out, it is necessary to properly inter-seedling: pull out the diseased and unhealthy growing seedlings, so that the seedlings left behind have some space between each other; when most of the seedlings have grown 3 or more leaves, they can be transplanted into pots.

　　Second, cuttings propagation

　　The branches used for cuttings are called spikes. Usually combined with the work of plucking, the thick, disease-free tops of the cuttings as the spike, directly with the tops of the cuttings. Cuttings should pay attention to the following management: Temperature: the optimal temperature for rooting scion is 18 ℃ ~ 25 ℃, below 18 ℃, scion rooting is difficult, slow; higher than 25 ℃, scion cuttings are susceptible to disease infection and rot, and the higher the temperature, the greater the proportion of rot. Cuttings encountered after the low temperature, heat preservation measures are mainly used to cuttings with film pots or containers wrapped up; cuttings after the temperature is too high temperature, cooling measures are mainly to give the scion shade, to cover up the sun’s 50 to 80%, at the same time, to the scion for spraying, 3 to 5 times a day, sunny days with higher temperatures sprayed more often, cloudy and rainy days with lower temperatures and higher temperatures, spraying is less frequent or do not spray.

Introduction to the transplanting method of Campsis grandiflora

　　The sky (details) flowers are now often potted by flower friends at home, but if the seedlings are directly inoculated in pots, the growth will be slow basal surface, so it is best to first ground planted three or four years. I’ll introduce you to the method of potting of Campsis grandiflora, like the flower friends can learn about it together.

Campsis grandiflora

　　1, is in the pot on the shelf, lead to its growth around the pot shelf, the advantage is easy to turn over the pot to change the soil, easy to move, pruning, the disadvantage is that the ventilation and light permeability is a little poor, the inner chamber of the leaf is easy to yellow.

　　2, is placed on the open balcony, with the rope pulling to lead its upward climb, can also let part of the stem naturally drooping, up and down into a piece, elegant and elegant. The disadvantage is that it is more difficult to turn the pot and change the soil, two people have to work together, pruning is also more difficult, to pay attention to safety.

　　3, is potted and made into a stump type or cliff type bonsai, placed on the balcony or elevated.

　　Lingxiao is native to the central part of China, has more than 2000 years of cultivation history, it is the best of the vine flowers. Spring its stems and trails grow quickly, aerial roots can hold on to the climbers, rocking straight up, June to September flowering, corolla funnel-shaped bell-shaped, outside orange-red, bright red inside, a cluster of red flowers, air jittery, in the green leaves, bright and colourful, graceful posture.

　　In addition to China’s native Lingxiao, there are also native to North America’s Lingxiao. The two kinds of sky has its own characteristics: China’s sky stems more than ten metres long, early and long flowering (June to September), shorter flower tube, calyx cleft is deeper, the corolla is larger, more beautiful, but not cold hardy, only for the South ground planting, the North can only be planted in pots. North American Lingxiao shorter stem trails, only 4 m, later flowering (July ~ September), longer flower tube, calyx cleft shallower, corolla slightly smaller orange-yellow, but cold hardy, south and north of the ground planting pots can be planted.

Notes on tending the garden in different seasons

　　If you have your own garden at home and want to take care of it beautifully, then you must pay attention to the climatic seasons to make adjustments in the operation. Not pass the season for the maintenance of flowers and plants are also very different, I’ve compiled for you to take care of the garden all year round notes.

Roses (details)

　　March-May Spring

　　During this season, plants enter their growth spurt and need to be fertilised in order to send out new shoots. Prune away dead and diseased branches, trim the top buds and promote the differentiation of side buds. In the spring, plants should be properly twigged to reduce nutrient consumption, properly pruned with phosphorus and potassium fertilisers to prolong the flowering period. Water the plants appropriately and pull out weeds.

　　June-August Summer

　　In this season of the year has entered the high temperature period, the need for diligent watering, basically once a day, if there is no time, at least two days must be watered, for potted plants, need to be watered every day or in the morning and afternoon each watering. Appropriate fertiliser, pruning to thinning mainly to facilitate ventilation and light. This is the season for diseases and pests, and weeds grow slowly, so regular pest control is needed.

　　September-November Autumn

　　This season is the period of leaf fall, fruit ripening and flowering of autumn flowering plants, so it is necessary to prune the dead branches and carry out the residual flowers to reduce the consumption of plant nutrients, which is conducive to the growth of plants in the coming year.

　　December – February Winter

　　Most of the plants in this period have entered the dormant period, need to carry out regular pruning of plants, and pay attention to the plant’s overwintering protection, so as to avoid frostbite. Give water and fertiliser management to dormant plants. Water your lawn to keep it warm when the weather is sunny.
