Can goldfish spider plants distinguish between red or yellow flowers depending on the leaves?

Goldfish spider plant. Can you tell if the leaves have red or yellow flowers?

Varieties of goldfish spider plants.

1. Small-leaved goldfish flowers.

The microphylla goldfish flower, also known as the button goldfish flower, is native to Costa Rica.

Its morphological characteristics are that the stem is very slender and branched. The leaves are small and opposite, and the flowers are solitary on the axils of the leaves, and the whole is orange-red.

It looks like a goldfish. The flowering period is in spring and summer, and generally lasts for about 20 days; The habit likes a warm and humid environment, and you must pay attention to sufficient light when breeding.

Small-leaved goldfish flower is a new flowering and leafy plant introduced from abroad in China in recent years, so it is very ornamental and usually potted.

Cultivated indoors for viewing purposes only.

2. Fine-leaved goldfish flowers.

The fine-leaved goldfish flower, also known as the star goldfish flower, is native to Norway.

A hybrid breed bred from the bred breed. Its habit is creeping and drape-like growth.

The flowers of the goldfish are large and numerous, crimson in color, and the flowering period is in spring. Its external characteristics are: compared with the small-leaved goldfish flower, the leaves of the fine-leaved goldfish flower are very small, leathery, dark green, and the surface is smooth and shiny.

It likes sunlight, moist growing environment, and is not tolerant to cold.

3. Big goldfish flowers.

The big goldfish flower is also known as the whale flower. Its appearance is characterized by the following characteristics: the stalks grow upright, covered with hairs on each branch; The old stem is reddish-brown, its leaves are opposite, the leaves are broadly ovate, nearly wide in length, dark green on the surface, pale on the back, and not covered with hairs.

Corolla of a large-leaved goldfish.

Scarlet in color, the flowers are large and numerous, and the columella is filamentous; Fresh and pleasant.

The above are the most common varieties of goldfish spider plant, in addition to bulb goldfish flowers, sparse hairy goldfish flowers, Adam goldfish flowers and other varieties.

Goldfish spider plant, the leaves are dark green, and the leaves are thick and shiny. The flowers are orange-red, with a small mouth and a large belly, and the appearance resembles a goldfish. From a distance, it looks like goldfish roaming leisurely among the green aquatic plants, which is very interesting and charming, not only has high ornamental value, but also has few diseases compared with other flowers.

There are many flower friends who like to breed goldfish spider plants, but they can always hear flower friends complain that the goldfish spider plants at home have grown into foliage plants, only long leaves and do not bloom, even if they bloom, they are only a few scattered flowers, and the ornamental is not strong.

There are two reasons for not flowering: first, goldfish spider plants do not bloom in juvenile years, and adult plants that generally grow for 2 to 3 years will bloom. Therefore, if you are breeding small seedlings, give sufficient light and water and fertilizer during the growth period, pinch the tip in time to hit the top, so that the plant grows robust, multi-meristem side branches, and when it comes to flowering after adulthood, with sufficient water, fertilizer and light, it will naturally bloom full of branches.

Second, the flowering period of goldfish spider plant is not fixed, it may bloom in March, May, October and December every year, but it only blooms once a year, and the flowering period is shorter and only blooms for about 20 days. If you ignore the best time for flower bud differentiation in breeding, the light is weak, and the water and fertilizer are unreasonable (here refers to the partial application of nitrogen fertilizer and less phosphorus and potassium fertilizer), it may cause it to only grow leaves and not bloom and miss the flowering period.

So how can you not miss its flowering period? Every winter, the goldfish spider plant will enter a dormant period, storing energy for spring flowering. From this time onwards to maintain sufficient light, after the spring temperature rises, goldfish spider plant into the vigorous growth period, about 20 temperature is a necessary condition for its flowering, at this time if the plant leaves are thick, the branches are strong, the leaf axils of the branches may appear flower bud differentiation.

Timely administration of phosphorus and potassium fertilizers, such as irrigation with diluted cake fertilizer water or potassium dihydrogen phosphate solution, can also be foliar sprays to promote bud formation. If the fertilizer and water are not sufficient at this time, it will affect the quality of flowering.

If there is no flower bud differentiation in spring, it can only be said that the nutrients of the plant are not enough, and the water and fertilizer management can be strengthened in autumn after the summer, and the goldfish spider orchid can also bloom full of branches.

Goldfish spider plant blooms 3 or 4 times a year, generally blooms in winter every year, the flowers are mostly solitary in the leaf axils, 2 4 cm long, and the flower color is orange-red. When cultivating goldfish spider plant, perlite, humus soil, and garden soil can be mixed into a substrate for cultivation. When the light is too strong, it is necessary to block the strong light in time to avoid the leaves being sunburned.

In addition, it is necessary to water every 2 to 3 days and apply the diluted compound fertilizer every 10 days.

Goldfish spider plant blooms 3 to 4 times a year, and the flowers generally bloom in winter every year, due to the different cultivation environment, the flowering time of goldfish spider plant is also different. Generally, it will not bloom in the first year of maintenance, and it will only bloom after 2 to 3 years of maintenance. The flowers of the goldfish spider plant are single in the leaf axils, 2 4 cm long, and the flower color is orange-red.

Cultivation method of goldfish spider plant.

Goldfish spider plant is suitable for growing in the slightly acidic soil with strong drainage permeability and sufficient nutrients, and when the soil is matched, perlite, garden soil, and humus can be mixed into a cultivation substrate in the ratio of 3:3:4, and mixed with an appropriate amount of diluted ferrous sulfate solution to make the soil slightly acidic.

Goldfish spider plant is suitable for growing in a semi-shady environment, and strong light needs to be blocked during the maintenance period, otherwise it will cause the goldfish spider plant leaves to wither and die of leaves. When the light can be appropriately increased before the onset of winter every year, it is recommended to place it on the south-facing balcony for maintenance, and rotate the flower pot regularly to allow the goldfish spider plant to receive uniform and soft light.

Goldfish spider plant needs more water during the growth period, it can be watered every 2 3 days in spring and autumn, once a day in summer, and the amount of watering needs to be reduced after the temperature drops in winter, and it can be watered every 5 or 6 days. During the vigorous growth period, the diluted compound fertilizer should also be applied every 10 days to maintain the normal growth of the plant.

Causes and treatment methods of goldfish spider plant leaf loss:

1. The light is too strong. When cultivating goldfish spider plants, sometimes because the light is too strong, it will cause it to lose its leaves. Goldfish spider plant is a plant that likes to be negative, and its demand for light is not high, and it is easy to lose its leaves if it is exposed to light for a long time.

Therefore, goldfish spider plants should pay attention to avoid direct sunlight in spring and autumn, and pay attention to shade in summer.

2. Improper watering. Goldfish spider plant has relatively high requirements for water, and can not be too much or too little when breeding, and water accumulation and drought can easily cause it to lose its leaves.

Therefore, it is important to ensure proper watering.

3. Move pots frequently. When cultivating plants, in fact, it is not recommended to move the pot frequently, so especially during the flowering period, frequent pot shifting will accelerate the time of flower withering, and cause the leaves to turn yellow and fall.

Therefore, be careful not to move the pot too often, and after placing it in a suitable place, it cannot change its position often.

4. Insect pest impact. When cultivating goldfish spider plants, you also need to worry about pests, which have a great impact on plants, and may affect the rhizomes and leaves of the plants, causing them to rot. Once the plant is injured, it is easy to lose its leaves.

Therefore, when breeding goldfish spider plant, it is necessary to pay attention to the prevention and control of pests and diseases.

There are thousands of varieties of flowers in China, each with its own unique style. Some are cute, some are coquettish. Goldfish spider plants are lovely flowers, and the flowers that look like goldfish are very petite and cute, which makes people very fascinated.

When does the goldfish spider plant bloom

The flowering period of goldfish spider plant is in spring and summer, and the flowering period is longer. Whenever the flowers bloom, the orange-red appearance of the goldfish spider plant is very cute, very much like many small goldfish hanging on the branches.

Ecological habits of goldfish spider plant

Goldfish spider plants prefer high temperatures, high humidity, and negative environments. The temperature suitable for the growth of goldfish spider plant is 18-22 degrees Celsius, and low temperature should be avoided. Once goldfish spider plant'When the growth temperature is below 10 degrees Celsius, the leaves will begin to turn yellow, and in the summer heat, the growth of goldfish spider plant is very slow, and there will be leaf loss when it exceeds 30 degrees Celsius.

Cultivation method of goldfish spider plant.

Goldfish spider plant can be seeded, cuttings, and divided, but because the seeds of goldfish spider plant are not easy to obtain, cuttings are generally used. The cuttings of goldfish spider plant are suitable for autumn and autumn, and the branches of about 10 cm are inserted into the riverbed to maintain a certain humidity and temperature, and they can take root in about a month, and they should strengthen maintenance after rooting, and they can be planted in pots in about 2 months.

Key points of goldfish spider plant maintenance

1. The soil needed for goldfish spider plant must have good drainage, preferably acidic soil;

2. Goldfish spider plants need sufficient sunshine in addition to winter, but in other seasons, waist goldfish spider plants need shade;

3. Goldfish spider plants should be watered more in spring, autumn and summer, so that the flowers can be better.

Reasons and solutions for goldfish spider plants not flowering:

1. If the branches are leafy, it will not bloom, which may be caused by too much watering, less sunlight, and too long vine growth.

1) If the vine is too long and the nutrient delivery is not in place, it should be fine to prune.

2) If the water and fertilizer are too diligent, the spider plant will forget to reproduce and grow, and it will become a vegetative growth stage. That is, the phenomenon of light growing leaves and not flowering. Then continue to apply fertilizer, and the water should be dry and wet intermittently.

The spider plant appears hungry and thirsty, and the information transmitted back to the main nerve by the leaves is; If you don't bloom and reproduce the next generation, you will die immediately. The buds will be divided in half a month.

3) If there is really little sunlight, move the bonsai to a place where it can get the sun in the morning and evening.

2. Flower promotion measures: goldfish spider plant likes a bright non-direct light environment, so it must be shaded (50% shade) when the light is too strong in summer; In order to promote the formation of flower buds, give sunlight in autumn and keep the potting soil slightly dry; It is best to put it in a dry and cool environment during dormancy in winter to promote the differentiation of flower buds; In winter, before flowering, you can increase the light appropriately, and move to the brightest window indoors to ensure vigorous growth and flowering.

【Tips】Goldfish spider plants should be watered more in spring, summer and autumn, and the surrounding ground should be sprayed with clean water frequently, and water should not be sprinkled on the leaves. In the summer heat, it is best to place the pot in a shallow dish with water. All of these measures can avoid leaf litter due to dry air.

Goldfish flowers should also be properly watered before flowering in winter and spring, so that the flowers can bloom fully and the flowers are bright.

Theoretically, the flowering time of goldfish spider plant is in winter, but due to the different maintenance environments in different places, the flowering time is a bit disordered. Some areas bloom at the end of March, others in early May, and some in October, December, all of which are possible.

To sum up, the flowering time of goldfish spider plant is so irregular, the key depends on maintenance! However, it will never bloom in summer.

Insufficient light Light is essential for the survival of green leafy plants, enjoy the warmth of the sun, and can accumulate nutrients for themselves, and insufficient light will cause great trouble. The plant is not growing well, flowering, no way!

Improper watering Goldfish spider plants prefer a cold-dry environment and have a short dormant period in winter before waking up and flowering. Aside from the cold season, the summer is high temperature and humidity, if you water too much, it is easy to cause soft rot of stems and branches and die, if the plant is infected with pests and diseases, it is difficult to flower.

Poor ventilation Goldfish spider plant is the most taboo stuffy breeding, if the breeding environment does not have circulating air, the leaves will gradually wilt, yellow, normal growth is inhibited. If it happens to be in the flowering season, the flower buds cannot grow normally, and it is difficult to bloom.

Bask in the sun in the summer, but don't expose yourself to the sun, bask in the sun in the winter, and get full sun. Sufficient light for photosynthesis of leaves, the plant accumulates sufficient nutrients, produces sufficient substances, so that the flowers and leaves are fully pigmented, and the flowers will bloom more gorgeously.

Frequent fertilization Usually pour a little more diluted cake fertilizer water, or the beer left at home, you can mix it with some water and water a little. It is very good for the flowering of goldfish spider plant.

Freeze protection No matter when the goldfish spider plant in your home blooms, you need to pay attention to keeping warm in winter. Control watering and move into the house in a timely manner. If it is a winter flowering variety, it is more important to keep it indoors in a sunny place.

Goldfish spider plants bloom in winter.

The flowering period of goldfish spider plant is generally in the cold winter, but the method of breeding goldfish spider plant in each place is different, and the flowering time is different, it is possible to bloom from the end of March to the beginning of May and from October to December, but in the hot summer, the goldfish spider plant will not bloom.

When the light is insufficient, it is difficult for the goldfish spider plant to photosynthesize, resulting in stunted growth and development, and the fierce beard affects flowering, so it needs to be supplemented with light in time, and it can be put into a bright environment for all-day sunshine in winter, and the light is too strong in summer to pay attention to timely shading.

Precautions for goldfish spider plant breeding:

1. Temperature: The ambient temperature needs to be controlled between 10-28.

2. Soil: It is recommended to choose loam soil with loose soil, fertile, more organic matter, good drainage, strong air permeability and acidity.

3. Light: Place it in a place with sufficient astigmatism.

4. Fertilizer: During the growth period of the plant, fertilize once every half month.

5. Precautions: When you are potting or changing the soil, you need to add well-rotted organic fertilizer appropriately to promote the growth and development of the plant; Keep out of direct sunlight.
