How to cultivate potted moon flowers? How to cultivate moon flowers

Potted cultivation method of moon flowers:

1. Suitable soil

To cultivate the moon flower potted plant, to use loose and breathable, good drainage and rich humus fertile slightly acidic sandy soil as the cultivation substrate, you can use garden soil, humus soil and chaff ash in the ratio of 5:3:2 mixed preparation, every 1 year also need to replace the moon flower with a new pot soil.

2. Sufficient light

The moon flower is a sun-loving plant, if the light is insufficient, it can not bloom, so when breeding potted moon flowers, it needs to be placed in a good lighting place, so that it has no less than 6 hours of light every day, pay attention to the summer to shade the moon flower, to avoid it being exposed to strong light.

3. Sufficient nutrients

The moon flower is a fertilizer-loving plant, its growth needs sufficient nutrients, potted plants need to apply an appropriate amount of base fertilizer in the soil, and then the moon season peanut for a long time, you can apply light fertilizer water to it every 10 days or so, in order to promote the vigorous growth of the moon flower, pay attention to its flowers when the flower opens to stop fertilization.

4. Pay attention to watering

The growth of the moon flower needs sufficient water, but it is not resistant to waterlogging, so when the pot is cultivated, it is necessary to pay attention to watering, it is best to carry out according to the dry and humid soil, and master the watering principle of seeing the dry and wet is the most conducive to the growth of the moon flower, otherwise if you water too much, the moon flower is prone to rotten roots.

1. Potting soil: Because the plants in the moon season are larger, the area of the potted plant must be large enough, so as to facilitate the growth of the moon season and improve the overall beauty. The selection of potting soil is based on fertile, loose and good drainage.

2. Light: Unlike other flowers, it is a light-loving plant, so in order to ensure the good growth of the flower and promote the flowering, we need to place it in a full-light environment. If it is left in a dark environment for a long time, it will not bloom and the branches will be thin.

3. Water: No matter what kind of plant watering, it should not be too much, nor too small. Therefore, when we water the moon season, we need an appropriate amount, and this appropriate amount can be judged according to the wetness of the potting soil, but we can water when the potting soil is dry.

In addition to this, we also need to keep it moist by spraying in a very hot environment.

4. Fertilizer: Fertilizer is applied according to the age, soil change time, and growth time of the flowers. For the age of more than two or three years, it is necessary to apply well-rotted organic fertilizer, when changing the soil, it is necessary to apply Bika granular compound fertilizer, and during the growing season, it is necessary to apply well-rotted organic fertilizer.

5. Pruning: There are two stages of pruning, one is the growth period, in which the fallen flowers and branches need to be pruned. The second is the dormant period, in which we only need to keep the strong shoots that grew last year, and the rest can be pruned off.

Choose a potting container. First of all, we need to choose the right pot for the moon flower. It is better to use soil pots for potted flowers, and the size of the pot should be commensurate with the size of the plant.

When the plant continues to grow until the roots are filled with the original pot, the original pot should be replaced with a large pot during the dormant period to meet the needs of the root to continue to develop.

Select the soil. The soil for the selection of moonflowers is best a sandy loam soil with a deep layer of soil rich in organic matter. Generally speaking, soil with a slightly acidic pH of about 6 and good drainage performance is the most suitable.

Watering. The watering of potted plants should be adjusted appropriately according to the needs, and the amount of watering should be controlled according to the change of seasons and the consumption of water for growth. The temperature is low in spring, just growing leaves, water demand is small, watering once in 3-5 days, hot in summer, watering 1-2 times a day (except for rain), watering thoroughly, especially in the pregnant buds and flowering period The water supply can not lack dormancy after flowering, then reduce the amount of water, and do not accumulate water in the rainy season.

Temperature. Seasonal flowers like warmth, are afraid of heat, and are more cold-tolerant. The planting time in southern China is generally in autumn.

After one winter, you can start to grow, and by the next spring you will start to be strong, and then you can survive the summer smoothly; In the north, spring is better, the soil thaws, the temperature rises, and in winter the plants can grow into better plants.

Illumination. The moon season is sunny, and it should not be placed in a cool place to plant. Whether it is planting or potting the moon season, the sunshine should be longer, at least five hours a day, which is the first condition to promote the flowering of the moon season.

However, if it is exposed to the sun for too long, it may also cause the dead branches of the moonflowers, especially on high-rise balconies, so it is necessary to provide proper shade during high temperature periods.

Fertilize. Nitrogen fertilizer is generally used for monthly fertilization. May to October is the flowering period of the moon season, fertilizer should be applied every ten days, fertilizer should be less or even stop fertilization in winter; The bottom fertilizer of the moon season must be sufficient.

Preferably organic fertilizer. Generally, the bottom fertilizer is rotted animal manure, soybean cake, oil residue, etc. During the whole growth period, it is not advisable to fertilize whenever the leaves are sprouted.

The next day after fertilization, water "back water" to prevent fertilizer damage.

Pest and disease control. The main common insect pests in the moon season are powdery mildew, black spot, leaf mites (red spiders and the like), thrips, aphids, leaf-cutting wasps, stem wasps, rhizobia, etc. Prevention should be given to pests and diseases, which can be prevented with plant ash in early spring, and can be prevented by pruning branches and leaves from winter to early spring.

During the winter dormant phase, the drug can be sprayed appropriately as appropriate.

Miniature moon season is a kind of small moon season, the plant height is generally less than 30 cm, the branches, leaves, flowers are small, and the flower color is extremely rich, there are red, pink, yellow, white and complex colors and other brilliant colors, as long as the temperature, light conditions are suitable, can bloom all year round.

The habits of the micro moon season are basically the same as those of the common moon season. Likes light, does not tolerate shade, likes mild climate, is afraid of heat, and is more cold-tolerant. It is suitable for growing in loose and fertile sandy loam soils. The following points should be paid attention to in cultivating micro moons:

1) Choose a pot and medium. Due to the shallow roots of the miniature moon plant, it is advisable to choose a tile pot with a diameter of 18 20 cm when planting. The cultivation medium should be rich in organic matter, loose and fertile, and good permeability.

If heavy clay or calcareous soil is used, the light case will be poor, and the heavy plant will die entirely.

2) Water and fertilizer management should be appropriate. Due to the small size of the micro-moon foliage, the water requirement is less, and it is advisable to keep the potting soil moist frequently during the growing season. Too little watering, poor growth; Excessive watering can easily lead to root rot.

It likes fertilizer, and if you want it to bloom often, you need to constantly replenish nutrients. When fertilizing, we should master the principle of "thin fertilizer and diligent application", and during the growth period, we generally apply the well-rotted thin cake fertilizer water once every half month, such as spraying 1 2 times of potassium dihydrogen phosphate solution during the pregnancy bud period, the flower color is more vivid. In the middle of summer, the plants are semi-dormant and fertilization should be suspended.

3) Prune often. In order for it to produce more flowers throughout the year, it is necessary to constantly prune the old branches and encourage new branches to germinate. Heavy pruning in early spring combined with repotting (generally once every 1 2 years).

Generally, only 3 4 main branches are retained, and each main branch is kept 3 5 cm long from the base, and the upper branches are cut off, so that more new strong branches can sprout, forming a plump plant shape with lush branches and leaves and continuous flowering. After flowering, the residual peduncle should be cut off in time to reduce nutrient consumption and promote the growth of new branches.

4) It is a positive flowering tree, which grows vigorously under full sunlight conditions, and the flowers are colorful. Therefore, when cultivating potted plants, in addition to being placed indoors for a few days each time they bloom, they should be placed on a south-facing balcony or a sunny place in the courtyard during the growth period, so that they can receive sufficient light. The intensity of the festival in the northern summer is high, and the growth is better if you need proper shade around noon.

As with bonsai, they need to be moved to a low-temperature room for wintering after winter. Cuttings are used for propagation.

1. Plenty of light.

Moonflowers like a sunny growing environment, and should be planted in a sunny location, and should ensure no less than 5 hours of light every day. If the moon flowers are exposed to insufficient light, they will cause weak branches and leaves, long plants, poor flowering, and poor flower color. Although the moon flowers like light, pay attention to shade and take sunscreen measures in strong sunlight in summer.

2. Water in time.

If you want to grow well, you need to water it in time, and you must ensure a good water supply and keep the soil moist during the growth period. After entering the flowering period of the moon flower, the potting soil is too dry and too wet, which will cause flower drop, and it is necessary to grasp the principle of "not dry, not watering, watering thoroughly".

3. Proper fertilization.

The moon season flowers should master the principle of "thin fertilizer diligent application", before germination in early March in spring, an appropriate amount of liquid fertilizer can be applied, after the summer flowers, before the axillary buds are not developed, you can apply a decomposed liquid fertilizer, to promote a large number of flowers in autumn. Before winter, a small amount of organic fertilizer can be applied to the roots, which can enhance the ability to withstand cold during winter.

Fourth, soil requirements.

The moon flower prefers fertile, moist, loose and breathable soil, which ensures that there is abundant organic matter and the pH value is kept between them. The soil can be mixed with 5 parts of garden soil, 3 parts of garbage soil, 2 parts of chaff ash, and an appropriate amount of vegetable cakes.

5. Precautions.

In the growth stage of seasonal flowers, it is necessary to prune regularly, and cut off the residual flowers and flower branches in time after flowering to promote the germination of new branches and more flowering.

1. Cultivation method.

1. Temperature: The moon flowers like warm, smooth ventilation and good drainage performance of the growth environment, the optimal temperature is 15-26, when the summer temperature is higher than 30, the growth and development of the plant is in a sluggish stage, at this time to give an appropriate amount of shade treatment, remember not to completely shade the sun.

2. Water supply: from the budding stage of the plant to the flowering of the whole period is a very large water requirement, during which it is necessary to ensure that the soil in the pot is in a moist state, so that the humidity conditions are conducive to the growth and development of the plant stems, and the water supply should be strictly controlled after entering the dormant period.

3. Fertilization: Sufficient nutrients can supply the growth and development of the plant, so that it can grow better, so we must pay attention to the supply of fertilizer, and determine the application of fertilizer according to the growth status of the plant, and top dressing 2-3 times Bika water-soluble fertilizer can be.

2. Precautions.

1. The moon flower is a positive plant, but when the temperature is higher than 30 in summer, it can not be exposed to the sun, and the strong light will burn the leaves, so it should be given timely shade treatment, but it can not be placed in a dark and damp place.

2. The supply of water must be timely and appropriate, and the water supply must be strictly controlled during the dormant period.

3. In the flowering stage, an appropriate amount of top dressing should be done 2-3 times to ensure that it has enough nutrients and the flowers will be more colorful.

If you want to cultivate the moon flower, you need to choose loose and fertile, humus-rich soil for it, and then plant the plant into the soil, and water it every 10 days to maintain the normal growth of the moon flower, if you want to make the plant grow more vigorously, you can regularly apply nitrogen fertilizer to the moon flower to promote the growth of the plant.

1. Soil conditions

If you want to grow moonflowers, you can choose a loose and fertile soil rich in humus, add peat and saprophyte leaves to the soil to increase the fertility of the soil, and then plant the plants in the soil.

2. Provide moisture

After the moon flowers are planted, they need to be watered once to keep the soil moist and promote the plants to quickly adapt to the environment, and after the moon flowers are adapted, the plants can be watered every 10 days, so that the moon flowers can absorb enough water and grow healthily.

3. Provide nutrients

If you want to make the peanut grow more vigorously, you can apply nitrogen fertilizer to the plant every 10-15 days to provide the nutrients needed for the growth of the flower and promote the growth of the plant, but when fertilizing, the fertilizer needs to be diluted, otherwise the root system of the flower is easy to be burned.

4. Growth habits

In the process of growing, there is a great demand for light, if the plant does not receive enough light for a long time during breeding, the growth of the flower will be hindered, resulting in the plant growing leaves are very small and diseased.
