How to maintain and prune the seedlings of blue snowflakes?

Conservation points. Temperature.

It likes warmth, and the suitable temperature for growth is about 18 to 25 degrees. It is not cold-tolerant, and the safe overwintering temperature is about 7 degrees. When the temperature is high in spring, doors and windows should be opened for ventilation. When the room temperature is high, the plant is prone to germinate new shoots too early, and the new shoots extracted are very thin, which is not conducive to future growth and flowering.

Illumination. Likes light and is resistant to semi-shade. For fear of strong light exposure, shade should be given from May to September, or placed in a place with sufficient semi-shaded scattered light. However, avoid too much shade, otherwise the plants are prone to growth and poor flowering, and at other times you should be given plenty of sunlight.

Watering. Blue snowflakes prefer a moister substrate, and if you replenish water immediately, you can alleviate the lack of water. If there is a long-term lack of water, the leaves are prone to yellowing and the plant is weakened. In the summer, I plant pot 14 and water it at least twice a day, often once at noon.

Fertilize. Blue snowflakes like fertilizer, and the base fertilizer can be long-acting slow-release fertilizers such as Aolu and horseshoe. Usually top dressing is not too particular, and it can basically be used. I am accustomed to irrigating roots with more flowers, and topdressing solid fertilizer with Lei Lihai Fusheng. Foliar fertilizer spray has a good effect, and the flowers are more seaweed.

Trim. Blue snowflakes are not afraid of pruning, cut off the residual flowers after flowering, and they can bloom again in about 20-30 days. The old branches should not be more than two years, and I usually prune them every autumn when I move in, and cut off the black branches, leaving only the new thick green branches of the year.

Turn over the pot. Repotting is carried out 1 time every spring. It prefers loose and fertile and well-drained slightly acidic soil, and the substrate can be prepared with humus, garden soil, coarse sand and other materials.

There are many different types of blue snowflake pruning, depending on what kind of look you want.

I bought 3 pieces half a month ago, and even the planting soil was planted together, and now it is budding, and I regret that I did not divide the pot, and I will not toss it, and I will definitely come back next year.

I have never raised blue snowflakes, and it is also a flower species that I am currently very desirable for. I have seen a lot of ** about blue snowflakes, and I rarely see good plant shapes, most of them have slender branches. Personally, I think it is necessary to top as soon as possible and top multiple times.

The 15cm tall blue snow should be able to be divided into pots, but now that the weather is getting hotter, it is better to divide the pots as soon as possible.

At the top, my blue snowflake seedlings are on the way, but I'm worried about the hot weather.

The pruning methods and precautions of blue snowflakes are as follows:1.Withered flower pruning

Once the flowers have withered, they can be cut off, and after about 20 days they can grow new flowers. Blue snowflakes are such a magical plant, after the withered flowers are cut off, they can quickly grow new flowers.

2.Pruning of branches

If the branches of the blue snowflake have been growing for more than two years, such branches have aged and need to be cut off. The blackened branches are also to be cut off. The sturdy branches and newly grown branches on the plant should be retained.

3.Pruning of leaves

There may be multiple leaves on a branch, so keep three leaf sail pins. This will allow the branches to grow more robust and to produce more side branches and small leaves. Of course, there are exceptions, so after the blue snowflake has buds, you can't cut off too many leaves.

When pruning blue snowflakes, during their germination, topping can be carried out, leaving only the top leaves. Removing some of the side shoots can promote the germination of new shoots. Prune some dead branches and rotten leaves in time to reduce the consumption of excess nutrients, carry out thinning and tidying, increase air circulation, and promote the continuous growth of blue snowflakes.

1. Topping.

In the budding stage of blue snowflakes, it is necessary to carry out topping treatment, and when the branches and leaves grow to a leaf, the top branches and leaves are removed, and only one leaf is retained, so as to reduce the consumption of excess nutrients and promote the continuous germination of new branches and leaves. After pruning, carbendazim solution is applied for effective sterilization and disinfection.

2. Prune the branches and buds.

In the growth process of blue snowflakes, it is necessary to remove some side branch buds in time, and pay attention to the length of pruning. It can promote the germination of new branches and leaves of blue snowflakes, which will grow more branches and petals will grow more vigorously. Shortening some excessively long branches of blue snowflakes can effectively improve the growth form of blue snowflakes.

3. Pruning during the growing season.

Blue snowflakes grow quickly and have dense foliage, which needs to be pruned in time. During the growth period of blue snowflakes, some yellowed and aging leaves can be pruned to reduce the consumption of excess nutrients. Some overly dense leaves are pruned to allow the leaves to photosynthesize sufficiently and promote the continuous growth of blue snowflakes.

4. Thinning and finishing.

Blue snowflakes grow rapidly, and the branches are too reaching, which will affect the ornamentality. It is necessary to cut off the head to control the height of the blue snowflake to be about 10 to 15 cm. From the bottom to the top, the leaves at the bottom are removed, and the branches of the blue snowflake are shortened in turn to increase air circulation and effectively improve the growth form of the blue snowflake.

If we want to breed blue snowflake seedlings, we must do a good job in light control, pest control and fertilization control. Blue snowflake seedlings should be given sufficient light every day to promote their growth and development, and when insect pests occur, they should be diluted with the corresponding agent in time to spray for nimble, and additional nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium compound fertilizer needs to be watered once a month.

1. Light

Blue snowflakes are more light-loving in the seedling stage, and need sufficient light time to help them photosynthesize and promote growth, so we should give blue snowflake seedlings enough light, extend the light time in winter, and properly shade in summer, and use scattered light to irradiate blue snowflake seedlings.

2. Pests

Because the blue snowflake seedlings are not fully developed, their resistance to diseases is poor, so they often encounter insect pests and diseases, so that the blue snowflakes cannot grow normally. In the event of insect infestation, we need to spray with 1000 times of 40% dimethoate emulsifiable agent to stop the loss in time.

3. Fertilization

During the growth period of blue snowflake seedlings, the demand for fertilizer is relatively large, and we need to apply the right fertilizer correctly. We can use nitrogen fertilizer to water it at the seedling stage of its young liquid traces, and after the branches and leaves grow a little larger, you can add imitation buried phosphorus and potassium fertilizer, and when the blue snowflake seedlings enter the flowering stage, we should reduce the use of nitrogen fertilizer appropriately.

Blue snowflakes should be pruned in autumn in two ways, pruning residual flowers and pruning branches.

Blue snowflakes should be pruned after the beginning of autumn, pruning at this time is very important, reasonable pruning can promote the blue snowflakes to recover their growth faster, can ensure safe wintering, and is also beneficial to next year's germination.

1. Prune the residual flowers

The flowering period of the blue snowflake in autumn stops, there will be a lot of residual flowers, you need to cut off the residual flowers to Zhi Oak Dan first, and pruning the residual flowers in time can reduce nutrient consumption and improve ornamentality. Residual flowers will not only affect the overall appearance, but will also continue to consume nutrients and even increase the incidence of disease.

2. Prune branches:

After pruning the residual flowers, the branches should be pruned, and a re-pruning should be carried out at this time. Cut off all diseased and insect branches, yellow, dry and weak branches to reduce nutrient consumption.

It is also necessary to prune the dense branches to ensure that the internal ventilation and rock light are better, so as to promote the recovery of blue snowflakes as soon as possible. In addition, it is necessary to shorten the excessively long branches and leaves that have germinated in the current year to promote a more concentrated concentration of nutrients, so that more new branches can germinate in the next year.

Blue snowflake spring pruning method

Spring is the peak season for the growth of blue snowflakes, and it is also the season for germination, at this time, light pruning can be done, too heavy pruning will affect the growth and flowering of the year. At this time, the main thing is to prune the frostbitten branches in winter, and cut off the diseased branches in time to avoid infecting other healthy branches and leaves.

When pruning, you must use a sharp knife to ensure that the cut is flat, and you must choose a sunny day for pruning, and you must wait for the wound to heal before resuming management to avoid the wound from being stained with water and rotting.

At the beginning of growth, blue snowflakes need to be topped, and the center of the top leaf should be removed. After pruning the top, it can promote the growth of the side buds of the blue snowflake. After flowering, the blue snowflakes should be pruned with dead flowers and leaves, which can save nutrients for them.

During pruning, also cut off long branches, dense branches, and pests and diseases of blue snowflakes.

Blue snowflakes are vigorous and grow well, so they can be pruned appropriately during the growth period. At the beginning of growth, it is necessary to topping and topping the blue snowflake, and remove the tender shoots and excess leaves on the top to promote the growth of side buds. After topping, properly fertilize it, and the blue snowflakes can grow more new branches in the later stage.

The flowering period of blue snowflakes is between July and September, and after the flowers open, they need to be properly pruned with residual flowers, dead flowers and old leaves. After cutting off the dead flowers and leaves, it can save nutrients for the blue snowflakes and is conducive to the growth of new branches. During the maintenance period, if the blue snow flower grows vigorously, you can prune the dense branches and long branches to enhance the ventilation.

During pruning, if there are diseased leaves on the blue snowflakes, they need to be burned intensively after cutting them off to cut off the source of infection. After disposing of the leaves of the insects and diseases, you can spray the blue snowflakes to get rid of the insects and diseases. After spraying, the blue snowflakes need to be placed in a cool and ventilated environment, and an appropriate amount of watering is required during the curing period, which is conducive to the recovery of the blue snowflakes.

After pruning, be careful not to touch the wound with water, otherwise it will be infected with bacteria. During the curing period, an appropriate amount of carbendazim solution can be applied to the wound of blue snowflake, which has the effect of disinfection and sterilization. Put the blue snowflakes in a cool and ventilated place for maintenance, and give them an appropriate amount of fertilizer in the later stage of maintenance to provide sufficient nutrients for the blue snowflakes to grow.

The reason we prune is, of course, that it's good for the plants. For this plant, proper pruning can make it more compact, and it can also extend the flowering time and increase the number of flowers. How's that, not bad?

Generally speaking, the best time to choose is when autumn is coming to an end. That's because, at this time, as the temperature slowly decreases, the rate of plant growth and development will slowly slow down. On the other hand, the time not suitable for pruning is at the beginning of late spring, when the plant has just sprouted branches, how can it be suitable for pruning?

One thing we have to remember is that this plant is not afraid of pruning, so we just need to be bold and prune.

After the flowers of the plant have bloomed, we have to cut off the withered flowers. In this way, the plant will be able to produce new flowers in no time. It won't be too long, usually only 20 days to a month, isn't it amazing?

There is also the need to cut off some branches that have already sensitized, generally speaking, the branches that are more than two years old should not be left behind. In addition, all the black branches have to be cut off. Those freshly sprouted, robust green shoots are what we should leave behind.

There is also the pruning of the leaves. For example, if there are seven leaves on a branch, we can keep only three or two. Then, the branches will become stronger, and there will be more side branches and small leaves, especially in continuous rainy weather.

However, after the plant starts to bud, you can cut it less.
