Limnium is also known as stone chrysanthemum, embroidered bamboo, often summer, sunset grass, quince grass, pennywort, etc.; perennial herbaceous plants. Dian Dianthus because of its stem with nodes, expanding like bamboo, and thus get its name. Growing in the grassland and hillside meadows, has been introduced as an ornamental plant by artificial cultivation in the world, cultivated a large number of cultivated species. And Dianthus has some medicinal value.

How to raise Dianthus:

Dianthus is hardy, drought-resistant, intolerant of heat, poor growth or withering in summer, cultivation should pay attention to shade and cooling. Prefer sunny, dry, ventilated and cool humid climate. Requires fertile, loose, well-drained and calcareous loam or sandy loam, avoid waterlogging, good fertilizer. Commonly used seeding, dragged along and planting propagation. The optimal temperature for seed germination is 21 to 22 degrees Celsius. Seed propagation is usually carried out in September.

Limnium culture:

1, soil: requires good drainage, humus-rich, good fertilizer retention performance and slightly alkaline clay soil, available garden soil 6 parts, compost 2 parts, sandy soil 2 parts of the mixture of formulated culture soil.

2, watering: Dianshi strong growth, more tolerant of drought. Rainy wet areas, the soil is prone to sloughing, the root system due to poor ventilation and development is not normal,

so the rainy season should pay attention to loosening the soil drainage. In addition to the peak season of growth and flowering to timely watering. Usually can be less watering to maintain the soil moist appropriate.

3, temperature: Dianthus growth suitable temperature 15 - 20 ℃. Winter should be put in the greenhouse, the temperature is maintained at 12 ℃ or more. Air humidity to maintain at about 75% is appropriate, before the flower proper spray water to adjust the humidity, can prevent the buds early cracking.

4, fertilization: Dianshi like fertilizer, before planting a sufficient amount of baking fertilizer and bone meal, but also constantly applying liquid fertilizer during the growth period, generally every 10 days or so a rotted thin fertilizer, after the flowers Shi a fertilizer.

5, light: 6-8 hours of light per day. At the height of summer, Dianthus is in a semi-dormant state, which should be careful to avoid exposure to the hot sun. The potting soil should not be waterlogged, otherwise it is easy to rot the roots.

6, pest control: Dianthus flowers common diseases are calyx rot, rust, gray mold, bud rot, root rot. Available zinc diclofenac to prevent and control calyx rot, five oxidized rust against rust rust. Zinc diclofenac, carbendazim or carbendazim can be used for soil treatment before planting to prevent other diseases.

When red spider and aphids are harmful, generally use 40% Rogaine emulsion 1000 times liquid to kill.

Precautions for Limnium:

Limnium is a perennial herbaceous flower with weak persistent roots, and is mostly cultivated as a biennial plant. Potted Dianthus requires sufficient basal fertilizer, 2?3 plants per pot. Seedlings grow to 15 centimeters high to remove the terminal buds, promote its branching, and then pay attention to the appropriate removal of axillary buds, otherwise branching, will make the nutrients scattered and flowering small, appropriate removal of axillary buds to make the nutrients concentrated, the town prompted the flower big color colorful. During the growth period should be placed in a sunny, well-ventilated place to protect, keep the potting soil moist, about every 10 days or so to apply a rotted thin liquid fertilizer. Too much rain in the summer, pay attention to drainage, loose soil.
