How to raise starry flowers Mantiantianxing is particular about breeding

Starry sky, annual herbaceous plant, the stem is branched, the leaves are lanceolate star-shaped, the flowers bloom at the tip of each branch, as many as the stars, the flower shape is very soft. Roots and stems can be used for medicinal purposes. The starry sky also has to go through a lot of processes when raising, and the starry flower has very high requirements for the growth environment.

So. How to raise starry flowers.

How to plant a starry sky.

How to raise starry flowers - the breeding method of starry flowers].

First, the requirements for soil.

Breeding Mantianxing requires loose and fertile soil, and has good drainage, generally weakly alkaline sandy soil is the best, for the soil is not only required to be loose, but also rich in organic matter, with enough nutrients for the growth of Mantianxing. The root system of the starry flower is generally distributed in the topsoil layer of about 20 cm, so the depth of the potting soil must be more than 30 cm before planting.

Second, the demand for sunlight.

Stars like sunlight, and light has a profound impact on the flowering of stars, especially in winter. Cultivated in a sunny environment. If 80-24klux illumination is given to the starry sky in summer, all plants can bloom, but the difference is that the less illumination the plants receive, the smaller the number of flowers.

If 58klux is irradiated in winter, all plants can bloom; However, if you are irradiated with 24 klux, you will not be able to get flowers even if you are given 24 hours of full brightness.

3. Temperature. Starry flowers like a warm environment, generally suitable for growth temperature of about 20 degrees, if the temperature is too high, it is easy to cause the shape of the flowers to be deformed, if it is too low, it is easy to cause the starry plants to be dormant or this cluster, it is easy to cause the stars to only grow stems and not flower. If the temperature is right, it can bloom all year round, but it must be cultivated in a greenhouse in the hot summer because it is not resistant to heat and high temperatures.

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.

Fourth, moisture. If the moisture is insufficient, the plant grows slowly, has few branches, and can not be umbrella-mounted, and the soil is strictly forbidden to accumulate water, which will lead to the rot of the root system of the starry plant, and the inability to absorb nutrients from the plant will lead to plant wilting. In order to prevent the quality and pumping capacity of cut flowers from decreasing, it can also 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 and success of starry cultivation.

Fifth, the starry 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.

How to raise a starry sky? Starry planting and maintenance methods.

<>1. Selection of potting soil.

The flower pot planted with stars can choose a relatively high ceramic pot, the soil is mainly slightly alkaline, and can be mixed with garden soil and sandy soil to ensure good loose air permeability. Before putting the soil in the pot, you can put the soil in the sun to dry and disinfect, add a layer of crushed stones to the bottom of the pot, and then add the soil.

2. Illumination. The starry sky does not require much light, so it can be placed on the south-facing balcony or windowsill to receive scattered light, and more than 3 hours of light per day can keep it in good condition. In summer, it is necessary to pay attention to prevent being exposed to the scorching sun for a long time, so as to avoid the leaves being sunburned and yellowing and wilting.

3. Temperature. The temperature is between 25-30 during the day and around 10-15 at night. In summer, it should be placed in a cool and ventilated place for protection, and excessive high temperature environment may make it enter a short dormant period, which may also make the flowers appear acute, and if they are exposed to the sun for a long time, they may also make the flower buds unable to form and affect flowering.

4. Watering. The sky likes a moist environment, in the growth period to give enough water to ensure growth, the soil should be moist for a long time, but not waterlogged, watering can be watered 2-3 times a week, a small amount of watering is the best way. After watering in the summer, you can also spray water around the plant to maintain humidity.

Before winter, you can water the potting soil thoroughly once, and then slowly extend the watering interval to keep the soil dry in winter.

5. Fertilization. Mantianxing's requirements for fertilizer are not very high, in the maintenance process of fertilization once a month, mainly phosphorus and potassium compound fertilizer, try to use less or simply do not use nitrogen fertilizer, so as not to affect the quality of flowers. Fertilization is not required in summer and winter due to extreme temperatures.

1. The stars can also be combined with other flowers to cultivate. The starry sky is very attractive when it blooms, delicate and small flowers, white, pink and red, lanceolate leaves, gray-green or blue-green leaves. Starry trees can be paired with other drought-tolerant ornamental flowers, such as sage, lavender and rosemary.

They can be planted together to form a more ornamental plant landscape.

2. Flower friends can use the method of sowing seeds to cultivate the stars. The growth rate of the stars is relatively slow. Flower friends should be patient when cultivating, it prefers some loose and well-drained sandy soil.

Under the sandy stone, flower friends should also add some small pebbles to ensure that the water can be quickly drained away. The better you want to grow in the starry sky, the drier the soil will be.

3. Keep the stars dry frequently. It doesn't like to get too wet. Flower friends will maintain the half-shaded place of it, and pay attention to the windproof at the same time. Because it is easily damaged by strong winds. If the potting soil of the starry sky is often wet, it must not be able to raise the starry sky.

4. Most flowers and plants especially like fertile soil, but Mantianxing does not like excessive soil fertility. If you want to raise the stars, prepare some sandy soil, and the nutrients in the soil don't need to be too fertile.

5. Flower friends will sprinkle starry seeds on the soil surface, cover a thin layer of soil, water regularly, and keep the soil moist slowly. Place it in a brightly lit and warm place to give it a suitable environment for germination. In order to prevent the seeds from rotting, flower friends should hold up the seedling pots, so as to maintain good ventilation.

When the starry seedlings have grown more than 4 or 5 true leaves, the flower friends can transplant them.

6. Flower friends plant starry seedlings in larger pots, or transplant them directly to outdoor cultivation. The starry sky is suitable for sowing in March and April. When sowing, be careful not to scatter the seeds too densely, just spread them evenly.

After the spring is warm, it can be cultivated indoors to avoid frostbite from the stars.

7. After the starry branches and leaves grow vigorously, flower friends can also cut off its branches and use them for cuttings to propagate. Don't water the stars too often, and don't fertilize them too often. Be sure to keep the soil dry and give it a little water once in a while.

8. Less fertilization must be applied to the maintenance of the stars, and the average fertilizer must be given once in about half a year. It is more difficult to survive the winter safely with a starry sky. The starry sky is not very cold-tolerant.

If there is frost, the stars are prone to frostbite. Generally speaking, the stars are planted in the first year, and they have to be replanted in the second year.

9. It is easy to provoke some parasites in the starry sky. If the flower friend finds that its leaves keep falling, it may be provoking insect infestation. If you find a snail that is infesting the stars, be sure to clean them up in time.

If there is a disease in the maintenance of the stars, it may be due to root rot caused by excessive watering and excessive air humidity.

How to raise a starry sky? Pay attention to a few maintenance tips, there are too many flowering to count.

How to raise a starry potted plant, from soil watering to light, flower friends must remember.

Wait a minute1Topping The operation of topping must be carried out when the seedlings grow to seven or eight pairs of leaves.

2.Fertilizer and water management fertilizer and water management is an important factor in raising a good star, the star is more like fertilizer but afraid of more water, the maintenance of the star is best to be able to fertilize regularly, in the growth period to rich in nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium elements of compound fertilizer on it, near the flowering period when you need to apply more phosphorus and potassium elements of fertilizer. Moreover, the starry sky has a relatively high requirement for water during the growth period, and sufficient water needs to be given before and after flowering, so that the flower buds can have enough water and nutrients to open.

3.After flowering, the defeated flowers are reduced, generally cut from half of the flower branches, and after pruning, it is best to change the pot and soil, and then re-maintain.

4.Light Mantianxing belongs to long-day plants, it needs more than 16 hours of light every day, generally after topping, it is necessary to increase the light, and the Mantianxing maintained at home generally needs to be lighted at night, especially after topping, the lighting treatment needs to be stopped until the bud appears, which is more difficult to operate, and flower friends can depend on their own situation.
