onion
Onion, also known as jade curtain and onion lotus. It is a perennial herb of Allium in Amaryllidaceae. Native to South America, it is distributed in warm areas such as Central China, East China, South China and Southwest China. Green onions, as the name implies, have leaves like green onions, thick green and graceful, while flowers have six petals, slender as blue, beautiful and refined. The flower language is: first love, pure love.
The flowering period of green onions is very long, which can last from spring to autumn. In winter, the aboveground parts will wither, but as long as the underground roots are preserved, they will grow and bloom again the next year.
The difference between onion and leek
Many people have raised leeks and cymbidium, but they look like onions at first glance. But after careful observation, there are still many differences between the two. The leaves of leek are wider and longer than those of leek. To put it bluntly, leek leaves are like leeks, and leek leaves are like onion leaves. The flower of leek is slightly larger than that of onion, but the flowering period is not as long as that of onion. Flowering, leeks are not as strong as onions, leeks bloom one after another, and onions keep blooming.
Maintenance points
Scallion likes slightly sticky, well-drained soil, sunny environment and semi-shade tolerance. The cold tolerance of onion is better than that of leek. It can remain evergreen above 0 degrees, and it can safely overwinter when the temperature is higher than-10 degrees. Onions have strong reproductive ability and can divide the ball by themselves. As long as you plant a few trees, you can grow into a full cluster.
Jiang Hehua
Jiang is not a lotus, no, not a lotus. It is a tropical plant, tuberous root plant, native to Thailand. It belongs to the same family as ginger, so the root tuber looks like ginger. Before flowering, a flower pavilion will grow, and the buds on the flower pavilion will be graceful after opening, which is somewhat similar to the lotus flower, hence the name "Jiang Lotus".
At first, the introduction of ginger lotus into China was hyped as a high-grade flower. Bian Xiao remembers that in those years when ginger lotus was just popular, its price was very expensive. Now a large number of domestic aquaculture, the price has been approachable, about twenty or thirty yuan can buy a pot. Ginger lotus is native to Thailand and likes warm and humid environment. The south is easy to maintain, but the north will be more difficult to plant.
Maintenance points
Ginger lotus is a tropical flower plant that likes light and heat. Pay attention to put it in a warm and sunny place. After the temperature drops in late autumn, the leaves of the ginger lotus will begin to turn yellow. When you see this phenomenon, you should take it back to the indoor insulation maintenance. Although ginger lotus likes to be wet, the flowerpot should not accumulate too much water, otherwise the roots will rot easily, and then water it after it turns white and dries.
Garlic vine
Garlic vine is an evergreen vine shrub of Asteraceae. In fact, it also has a nice name called purple bell vine. The name garlic moss is deeply rooted in people's hearts because it is so vivid! When we rub a flower or a leaf a few times, we can smell the thick smell of garlic.
These flowers are so beautiful that it is hard to imagine that they will taste like this. However, it is precisely because of the strong smell of garlic that there are almost no pests in garlic vines, which is particularly worry-free to maintain. Its long vines are very suitable for pulling up and making flower walls.
Maintenance points
Young garlic shoots like loose and fertile sandy soil, and acid soil should be used for soil preparation, not alkaline soil, otherwise it will greatly affect their growth. I like basking in the sun very much, so I need to make sure I get enough light, and I don't need shade in summer. Water is wet and dry alternately, and the surface of the basin soil is dry before watering. Garlic moss is not cold-tolerant. If it is lower than 10 degrees, it will enter hibernation. If it is below 5 degrees, it will freeze to death. Pay attention to keep warm in autumn and winter.
In addition to the need to supplement fertilizer for rapid growth, February and March to 10 are the flowering periods of garlic bolts every year. Pay attention to supplement phosphorus and potassium fertilizers to promote flowering.
