How to raise a starry sky

Starry breeding methods:

Mantianxing, a perennial herbaceous flower of the Caryophyllaceae family, formerly known as double-petaled silk caryophyllus, alias broken copper coin, slender stems and branches, luxuriant branches, rich three-dimensional, with countless small flowers, often used in bouquets, flower baskets, flower arrangements as a foil, is one of the home decoration plants that people like to use, pay attention to the following points in the starry breeding:

Starry breeding methods: 1. Loose soil is the best.

The requirements for soil are not high, and generally well-drained slightly alkaline calcareous soil or gravel loam soil is sufficient.

Starry breeding methods: 2. Water should be controlled.

The starry seedling stage has a large demand for water, and sufficient water and fertilizer are still needed after topping, so that the plants can gradually switch from the vegetative growth period to the reproductive growth stage, that is, enter the convex stage (flowering stage). Until the small flower spikes are extracted, the water should be slightly reduced when the petals grow, so as to prevent the quality and pumping of cut flowers from decreasing, and to promote the neat flowering of all flowers. Especially in the summer season of high temperature and humidity, proper water control is often the main factor that determines the success of starry cultivation.

Starry breeding method: 3. The temperature should not be too high.

The starry day temperature of 25 is the best growth, if it exceeds 30, the time or number of days is too long, and the probability of deformed flowers increases. The night temperature is best at 10-15, if it is lower than 10, and then lower than 10, coupled with the short days in autumn and winter, it is easy to cause dormancy or clustering.

Starry breeding method: 4. Sufficient light.

Light has a profound effect on the flowering of a starry sky, especially in winter. If the summer sky is full of stars with 80-24 klux illumination, all plants can bloom, but the difference is that the less illumination the plants receive, the fewer the number of flowers. In winter, when exposed to 58klux, the plants can all bloom; However, those who are irradiated with 24klux will not be able to bloom even if they are given 24 hours of full brightness.

Starry breeding method: 5. Fertilizer should be applied regularly.

The stars like fertilizer, but avoid water, after planting, it is necessary to top dressing in stages, mainly nitrogen fertilizer in the early stage, and phosphorus and potassium fertilizer in the later stage. Water management should be strictly controlled, too wet growth will weaken, and stagnant water will cause root rot and death. When the plant grows to 30 cm, it is necessary to control the watering, especially during the budding stage, and the flowering period should be drier.

Cultivation in rainy areas should be sheltered from the rain.

Starry breeding methods: 6. Pest treatment.

Starry pests and diseases are rare, and there are usually occasional aphids or snails. At this time, it can be sprayed with air oil essence dilution or neutral laundry detergent, which can kill aphids. For snails, you can spray snail pellets in the potting soil.

Note that for root rot, it is necessary to prevent the phenomenon of water accumulation in the potting soil, and irrigate the roots with green milk copper emulsifiable concentrate or root rot 800 times.

Starry sky is a very common kind of herbaceous flowers, dense small flowers feel very fresh, romantic, often potted planting to decorate the home, then in the breeding should pay attention to teach everyone the starry breeding method.

How to raise a starry skyStarry planting and maintenance methods.

Generally used as fresh flowers, the starry flowering period is from June to August, that is, it likes a cool environment, if the temperature is higher than 30 degrees, it grows tweed is easy to deform, or even only draw strips without flowering. In the case of daily top dressing, we can use high-nitrogen fertilizers during the growing season and high-phosphorus fertilizers during the flowering period.

If you want to know how to raise the star, you must first prepare alkaline soil for it, generally water it once every 3 5 days to keep the soil slightly moist, put it in a sunny place to maintain, control the temperature between 10 and 25, and apply fertilizer every half a month is more conducive to growth, and you can also properly sow and propagate by cuttings.

Mantianxing prefers to grow in loose, breathable, humus-rich sandy soil, which can be prepared with a mixture of humus, sandy soil and garden soil. The soil quality should be weakly alkaline, and the pH value should be between 7 and 9.

The stars like moisture and are afraid of waterlogging, so keep the potting soil slightly moist when watering. In spring and autumn, it is generally watered once every 3 to 5 days; The temperature is high in summer, once the potting soil is found to be dry, it is necessary to water it in time, generally once every 1 2 days; In winter, when the temperature is low, it is best to water once every 1 or 2 weeks, and the potting soil is not dry and not watered.

The starry sky is slightly shade-tolerant, so it should be kept in a sunny place, and the strong light in midsummer should be properly shaded to avoid burning the plants. In winter, it should be placed indoors in a sunny place to fill in the light, which is more conducive to the growth and flowering of plants.

The most suitable temperature for the growth of the stars is between 10 and 25, and the temperature exceeds 30 in summer, so it should be moved to a cool and ventilated place for maintenance, otherwise it will cause the plant branches to stop growing, and it will also affect flowering; In winter, it is advisable to control the temperature of 5 12 to avoid freezing to death and frostbite of plants.

During the starry growing season, thin fertilizer can be applied every 10 to 15 days, and the fertilizer is mainly nitrogen fertilizer to promote the germination of branches and leaves. Phosphorus and potassium fertilizers should be applied before flowering to promote flower bud differentiation and improve the quality of flowering. Less fertilizer in summer and winter to avoid fertilizer damage to the plants.

(1) Sowing and propagating

The stars are generally sown in early spring or early autumn, the seeds are sown in loose and breathable soil, and then covered with a thin layer of soil, the temperature is controlled at about 15 20, and germination can generally be achieved in 10 days.

(2) Propagation by cuttings

Cuttings are generally carried out in spring, choose the top shoots of the year as cuttings, the length is about 10 15 cm, water an appropriate amount of water after cuttings, control the temperature at about 15, and generally take root in about 15 days.
