Longevity flower breeding methods are watering, soil, light, temperature and so on.
1, watering
Longevity flowers contain more water in the body, so it has a strong resistance to drought, and does not need a lot of watering. General watering frequency in 2~3 days watering once, keep suddenly slightly moist can be. Winter time is more to reduce the frequency of watering, otherwise it is easy to cause poor drainage, resulting in root rot.
2, soil
Longevity flower soil needs to be carefully deployed, with 4 parts of rotting leaf soil, 4 parts of garden soil, 2 parts of river sand for mixing, which in the mixing of the right amount of bone meal. Such a soil conveys fertility and has good drainage. It is worth noting that longevity flowers should not be used in clay-heavy soil, which can easily cause stunting.
3, light
Longevity flowers are sun-loving plants, so they should be placed in a place with direct sunlight. But summer can not be placed in the sun for a long time, it will lead to the yellow color of the leaves, you need proper shade and ventilation to reduce the temperature. If the longevity flower is not enough light, it will lead to thin leaves and reduce the number of flowers, affecting the degree of beauty.
4, temperature
Breeding longevity flowers, pay attention to the control of indoor temperature, the temperature is 20 to 25 degrees Celsius, if too high or too low, it will make the plant in a semi-dormant state. If the temperature is below 10 degrees Celsius in winter, you need to move indoors in time to ensure the right temperature, and the longevity flower will be able to bloom on New Year's Day and during the Spring Festival.
Longevity flower cultivation technology is introduced:
Pot planted, in a slightly moist environment in the growth of more vigorous, the nodes continue to produce light red aerial roots. Too dry or low temperature, growth slows down, reddening of the leaves, delayed flowering. In summer, we should control watering, pay attention to ventilation, if the high temperature and humidity, the leaves are easy to rot, fall off. Fertilizer every half a month during the growing period, you can also use "Huizhi" pot flower special fertilizer.
In order to control the height of the plant, it is necessary to carry out 1~2 times of centering to promote more branches, more flowers. Christmas galangal 2 weeks after planting with 0.2% Bijou spray 1 time, plant height 12 cm and then spray 1 time. This can effectively control the height of the plant to achieve the effect of beautiful plants, green leaves and flowers. In the process of forming flower buds in the fall, you can increase the application of 1~2 times of phosphorus and potassium fertilizer.
