The peony chlorophytum is a plant that flower friends like to cultivate recently. The home is very festive and beautiful, but do you know the cultivation methods and precautions of Paeonia suffruticosa? Now give you a detailed introduction.

First, the peony chlorophytum

Dictyophora dictyophora belongs to Pistaceae, also known as dew grass, creeping weed, heart leaf ice flower, dew flower of Dictyophora dictyophora, sun rose, Dictyophora dictyophora and Dictyophora dictyophora cherry.

Morphological characteristics: perennial evergreen succulent herbs. The branches are about 20 cm long, the leaves are opposite, the meat is thick, the color is bright and green. Branches are angular and semi-stoloniform after elongation. The top of the branch blooms and branches out after the flower. The flowers are deep rose red, yellow in the center, shaped like chrysanthemums, with narrow and shiny petals, which bloom from spring to autumn.

Growth habit: Dictyophora dictyophora is native to South Africa and likes sunny, dry and ventilated growth environment. Avoid high temperature and humidity, and prefer sandy soil with good drainage. The suitable growth temperature is 15 ~ 25℃. Maintenance is relatively simple. In addition to proper shade at noon in midsummer, there should be plenty of light at other times of the year, especially in winter. While ensuring the temperature, it can be placed in a sunny place to receive as much sunlight as possible. If it is left in a place with insufficient light for a long time, the color of the leaves will become pale and lifeless, and even the leaves will fall off and lose their ornamental value. Conditional friends can leave it outside the house from beginning of spring. After sufficient irradiation, plants have many flowers and bright colors, and their leaves are not easy to grow in white.

Second, the cultivation methods and matters needing attention of peony.

First, the feeding method

1. Soil: Dictyophora dictyophora is native to South Africa. It likes sunny, dry and ventilated growth environment, avoids high temperature and high humidity, and prefers sandy soil with good drainage, so its maintenance is relatively simple.

2. Sunshine: Peony likes sunshine. In addition to proper shading at noon in midsummer, adequate sunshine should be given at other times of the year, especially in winter. While ensuring the temperature, it can be placed in a sunny place to receive as much sunlight as possible. Conditional friends can leave it outside the house from beginning of spring. After sufficient irradiation, plants have many flowers and bright colors, and their leaves are not easy to grow in white.

3. Temperature: Chlorophytum likes a warm and comfortable living environment to avoid high temperature and cold. The optimum growth temperature is 15 ~ 25℃. When the temperature is too high in summer, attention should be paid to cool plants, which can be moved to a well-ventilated semi-shady place for maintenance; Peony is not cold-tolerant, so be careful after autumn. The weather turns cold, so keep warm. Those placed outdoors should be moved indoors in time to avoid frostbite.

4. Watering: Bamboo Sun likes dry environment, so watering should not be too much. The growth peak of Dictyophora dictyophora is from March to September every year, during which the water demand is large, especially in the high temperature season in summer. At the same time, it should be noted that there should be no water in the basin, and the principle of seeing dry and seeing wet should be followed. The soil in the basin is dry, so it needs to be watered again. Too much water can easily lead to root rot and serious death. After September, chlorophytum peony will enter a slow growth period. At this time, the amount of watering should be gradually reduced to prepare for moving indoors for the winter.

5. Fertilization: Dictyophora dictyophora has low requirements on fertilizer and water. It is enough to apply cake fertilizer and water once every half month in the growing season, which can be changed according to the specific growth situation of Dictyophora dictyophora.

6. Pests: Chlorophytum grows widely and is not prone to pests and diseases. However, if there is water in the basin soil and poor ventilation, besides root rot, root rot may also occur, so we should pay attention to spraying drugs.

7. Pruning: In winter, Dictyophora indusiata leaves stop growing to cope with the dormancy period. Diseases and insect pests, overlapping branches, coexisting branches, weak branches, aging branches, inward growing branches and overgrown branches must be cut off in time, and the life of peony can be prolonged by thinning, cutting short and removing tillers. Let peony ventilate and transmit light, it is not easy to breed pests and diseases, and it can also ensure the vitality and flourishing of the tree.

Second, the cultivation techniques

Propagation and cultivation: Cutting propagation, carried out in spring and autumn, is very easy to survive.

Note: it can also be cultivated indoors, without direct sunlight and astigmatism. The branches can grow to several meters long, but they will not bloom.

In fact, the peony chlorophytum does not belong to chlorophytum, because its branches are soft, semi-prone after elongation, and its branches droop, which looks like chlorophytum, so it has always been maintained as chlorophytum. Its leaves are thick and green; Chlorophytum blooms at the top of the branch, and the color is rose red; The flowering period lasts from spring to autumn, and you can enjoy both flowers and leaves. It is one of the excellent potted flowers for decorating the living room and window sill.

Peony is not cold-tolerant, so be careful after autumn. The weather turns cold, so keep warm. Those placed outdoors should be moved indoors in time to avoid frostbite.

Peony grows vigorously from March to September every year. During this period, the water demand is large, especially in the hot summer season. At the same time, we should pay attention to the fact that there can be no water in the basin and follow the principle of seeing dry and wet. Wait until the soil in the basin is dry before watering it. Too much water can easily lead to root rot and serious death.

Peony chlorophytum has low requirements on fertilizer and water, and it is enough to apply cake fertilizer and water once every half month in the growing season. After September, chlorophytum peony will enter a slow growth period. At this time, the amount of watering should be gradually reduced to prepare for moving indoors for the winter.

2. Too much watering of Paeonia suffruticosa will lead to root rot and serious death. It is necessary to control the watering weight.

3. The peony chlorophytum has low requirements for fertilizer and water. During the growing season, you need to apply 1 times cake fertilizer and water every half month or so. If too little fertilizer is applied, the growth will be slow.

Third, the role of peony bark

Peony chlorophytum is mostly used for potted plants, and can also be used for ornament of other flowers, which is suitable for desert landscape layout in gardens.
