Milan's maintenance methods

Milan is a perennial evergreen shrub with leaves and flowers. It has green branches, many branches, dense leaves, beautiful plant shape, golden color and pleasant fragrance. To preserve potted Milan, you should master the following skills:

First, fertilization techniques are generally applied once a month, mainly organic fertilizers and high-efficiency phosphorus and potassium fertilizers, and nitrogen fertilizers cannot be applied in a partial manner. Apply 25-30g of decomposed and deodorized peanut cake fertilizer, rapeseed cake fertilizer or tea seed cake fertilizer,15-20g of potassium dihydrogen phosphate or high-efficiency biological phosphorus and potassium fertilizer to each pot at a time, then mix 2-3kg of decomposed and deodorized human and animal manure with clean water and spray.

Second, watering skills should keep the basin soil moist all the year round. Don't crack when it is dry, but it can't be too wet for too long, otherwise it will rot, rot and yellow leaves. Generally, water is poured once a day in summer and autumn, and once every 2 ~ 3 days in winter and spring, so that water can quickly penetrate into the basin soil and not accumulate on it. At the same time, it is necessary to spray clear water on the branches and leaves frequently, especially when it is hot in summer and dry in winter. All branches and leaves should be sprayed evenly before dripping, so as to keep the branches and leaves moist.

Third, spraying skills potted Milan is seriously damaged by pests such as powdery mildew, leaf spot, anthracnose, red spider, scale insect, aphid and rust tick, which makes the branches and leaves yellow and die. Every 15 ~ 20 days, the leaves can be sprayed with 25 ~ 30 times of dry and pure clarified liquid leached by plant ash and calcium superphosphate or 0. 1% limewater clarified liquid. The maintenance of wintering Milan is a kind of flower that people like, but its nature is heat-resistant and cold-resistant.

In order to ensure the safe overwintering of family potted Milan, we must pay attention to the following points: Stop fertilizing in autumn. Milan likes fat, but it should be stopped at the end of autumn, so as not to promote new buds in advance and be prone to frostbite. If the shoots are tender in late autumn or early winter, they should be cut off. In order to promote the senescence of new shoots, potassium fertilizer can be applied again after the last flowering (that is, from September to 10). Control water in winter. When the temperature is around 10℃, Milan stops growing and enters the dormant period. At this time, the evaporation is very small, as long as the soil has a certain humidity. Too wet soil will lead to root rot. It is best to water it once every 20 days or so.

The specific situation depends on the basin quality and weather. Water should be done at noon on a sunny day, water should be poured through the heart, and the branches and leaves should be washed with a watering can to keep their leaves clean. In spring, potted Milan will move out of the house in due course. When the indoor temperature is below 5℃, you can put on a plastic bag (the upper part must be ventilated). But the bagging time should not be too long, otherwise the leaves will fall and mold will appear.

The temperature changes greatly in early spring, so it is not advisable to go out early. Generally speaking, it is safe and reliable to keep the average daily temperature above 65438 02℃ in Tomb-Sweeping Day. When leaving the room, first move the flowerpot to the doors and windows of the south-facing room, open the doors and windows, let it exercise in the outdoor air, and then move it outside after 3 to 5 days.

Maintenance method of desert pineapple

When it comes to how to raise desert pineapples, it is necessary for us to know about desert pineapples. Generally speaking, we grow desert pineapples from Dyckia or Hechtia. Dyckias and Hechtias are two genera of terrestrial pineapple, which can be used as potted plants and garden plants, especially in some warm and dry regions.

Dyckias originated in South America, Hechtias mainly originated in Mexico (others came from some Central American countries). The two genera of pineapple look like non-fleshy agave (Hechtia is called pseudo-agave), and they are both rosettes with hard and prickly leaves, so it is often difficult to distinguish them. Both plants are sucking plants, and they tend to be sunny and relatively dry. In fact, almost all Hechtias have white flowers, while the colors of Dyckias are mainly bright orange and yellow in different degrees. Dyckias are not a plant (they grow year after year), and Hechtia will die after flowering. Of all the bromeliads, Dyckias is the most hardy (they can resist the low temperature of 20 degrees Fahrenheit, or even lower in some cases). ), and Hechtias is one of the least cold-resistant pineapples, and it is difficult to resist the short-term frost of more than 20 degrees Fahrenheit.

The planting medium of Dykcia(Hechtia) belongs to pineapple, so it is best to choose humus soil with good drainage and appropriate amount of gravel. A mixture of hard bark, volcanic rocks, stones, perlite and sand can also be used as a medium. A small amount of water can be used in spring and autumn, and the soil should be kept dry in the low temperature environment in winter to prevent freezing injury. If necessary, you can use semi-cooked fertilizer once a month.

Dyckia(Hechtia) can be planted in indoor and outdoor environment: on the sunny terrace, potted or hung pineapples planted with Dyckia have strong ornamental value. Pineapples belonging to the genus Dyckia(Hechtia) can also be planted as indoor ornamental plants in sunny or well-lit rooms, and compared with other pineapples, pineapples belonging to the genus Dyckia(Hechtia) have lower humidity requirements. Dyckia can also grow well in dry places, such as rocks or cactus gardens.

If you need to plant Dyckia pineapples in wet and rainy areas, you can plant them in well-drained pots and the plants will grow equally well. Half-day or all-day outdoor lighting can bring dazzling colors to Dyckia's leaves. Many Dyckia can tolerate frost above 30 degrees Fahrenheit (many Hechtia can tolerate frost above 16 degrees Fahrenheit), but most of them like relatively mild temperatures, so it is best to avoid frost as much as possible.

Maintenance method of goldfinch

Goldfinch likes light and bears drought, so it should be placed in a sunny and ventilated place. It is cold-resistant in winter, and it can be wintered outdoors to the south of the Yellow River. It is best to bury the basin in the soil.

Watering: master the principle of not watering, but watering thoroughly. Especially in the flowering period, we should pay attention to keeping the soil moist, which can prolong its flowering period.

Fertilization: base fertilizer can be applied once in winter dormancy period, and water and fertilizer can be applied once before flowering in spring to prolong flowering period. Top dressing again after flowering to promote the growth of branches and leaves. Usually, it is enough to apply a thin amount of fat water.

Pruning: After defoliation in winter, you can cut off all kinds of branches that affect the tree shape. After flowering in spring, cut off the flowering branches to promote the growth of new flower branches. In the vigorous growth period, long branches can be pruned at any time, and the core can be picked appropriately to keep the tree beautiful.

Turn the pot: turn the pot every 2 ~ 3 years, and the period is suitable for early spring. About 1B2 of old soil can be removed when turning the pot, and the excessively long root system can be appropriately shortened. Can also be combined with pot turnover for root lifting modeling.

It is mainly for flower viewing, and the flowering period from May to June is the best viewing period. You can also see trees of various shapes at ordinary times. Flowers in full bloom on the tree, such as goldfinches, are full of golden eagles and swaying in the breeze, which is very pleasing to the eye.

Maintenance method of Xiajin

Corydalis is similar to morning glory, but it looks more stable than morning glory. Corydalis can tolerate high natural temperature, but low temperature often causes harm, so it is often cultivated as an annual. Corydalis is a perennial herb. Summer and autumn are the vigorous growth period of Corydalis, and the outdoor humidity can be reduced to about 65438 02℃, which is used for indoor protection and cultivation. It is best to keep the overwintering temperature above 65438 05℃ to eliminate frost. Corydalis likes humid environment and soil, so it must not be dry during the growing period. During the wintering period, when the topsoil is dry, it can be fully watered. In summer, people who maintain it outdoors need to keep moist, water and spray water frequently to increase the air humidity.

Don't apply too much fertilizer, but a small amount should be applied frequently, and it is advisable to irrigate the basin soil with dilute fertilizer solution. Lighting needs sufficient environment and should not be kept in the shade for a long time. It also needs proper ventilation to grow well. In winter, sufficient light must be given and ventilation should be carried out according to the ambient temperature. It is forbidden to blow air conditioning in winter.
