When is the best time to top the longevity flowers? What to look out for?

Longevity flowers are generally topped from July to September. Since this time, it happens to be the stage when kalancho flowers sprout seedlings. At this time, topping the longevity flowers can prompt a large number of side branches, so that the plant has ample growth space and nutrients, promote the growth and development of longevity flowers, and give bright petals.

One, why top the petals?

The purpose of topping the petals is to better cut the branches of the plant so that the branches of the plant can grow to the right length, if the branches of the plant are too long, then the nutrients absorbed by the main branches will be very limited. Therefore, according to the topping method, the top part of the plant is removed, and it can germinate more branches, and the nutrient consumption will be much less, and the main branch of the plant can grow better. Moreover, topping flowers and plants can also make the plants grow and develop more neatly and beautifully, giving a large number of petals.

Second, when will the longevity flower top.

Longevity flowers are in the case of 7-9 months of germination of young shoots, in the early stage of seedling growth and development, to pick the top of the seedlings, after the seedlings grow and develop taller and larger, you can top it, this time topping, because the branches have more nutrients, the development of more robust. When the longevity flower falls down, it can be topped again, and the advantages of the growth and development of the top of the plant are gone, which will promote the growth and development of the side branches, and finally the flowers that bloom are more beautiful and showy. Generally, in the case of early September, you can stop topping the longevity flower, and let it grow and develop of course.

Third, the common problems of longevity flower topping.

In the case of topping longevity flowers, it is necessary to give priority to cutting off delicate branches; After pruning, some plasters can be applied to the wound of the plant to prevent the wound from becoming inflamed with pathogenic bacteria.

After the topping, it is also necessary to do a good job in the maintenance of longevity flowers. In autumn, the climate gradually cools down, and at this time, the most suitable temperature for longevity flowers is between 14 and 24. And it needs to experience plenty of sunlight every day, so you can place it in an area with a bright light source.

Be sure to dot at the growth stage of longevity flowers, usually in May every year. Be sure to pay attention to the position of pruning, but also pay attention to the time of pruning, to remove the problematic branches and leaves, and to remove the dense parts that are found, which will help the growth of longevity flowers.

I think it's better to top near the end of flowering; It is necessary to pay attention to the growth state of longevity flowers, to prune them properly, to ensure a suitable growth environment, to fertilize them, and to restore their growth state.

It's OK around July and August, and the plants need to be pruned so that they can grow better.

Longevity flowers generally top around August; The best time to top is to wait for him to finish flowering and growing stage, you can supplement nutrients with phosphorus and potassium fertilizer, and try to make side buds grow.

In the process of planting longevity flowers, when the longevity flowers grow side branches, it is necessary to carry out topping in time, and the basic pinching techniques should be mastered, so as to be able to maintain the growth more and more.

The suitable time for the tip of the longevity flower is from July to September. In the seedling stage, it is necessary to pinch the tip of the longevity flower, when the flower falls, the new shoots grow, you can pinch the tip of the longevity flower for the second time, which needs to be completed before August.

You can choose March or September, generally in the spring and autumn growth period to top, to choose the right tools, after which to control the height of the plant, to timely supplement fertilizer, to prevent black rot.

The longevity flowers have just left in autumn, and the weather has become cooler, which is suitable for topping. Longevity flowers should be controlled before topping, and it is suitable for topping when the soil is dry, otherwise the water in the soil is easy to go to the fleshy stems, and the wound is easy to dissolve water, resulting in black rot.

In March. Be sure to remove the young shoots at the top, let the longevity flowers grow to 10 cm and sometimes pay attention to cutting off the leaves at the bottom to protect the stems.

When pruning and topping longevity flowers, it is best to use the season as an auxiliary and the temperature as the main criterion. Approximately the temperature is best between 18 and 28 degrees Celsius. When topping, you can promote more lateral branches before flowering, so that there are more flowering branches.

Topping pruning after flowering can maintain the plant shape as soon as possible, and can also promote the growth of side branches, which is also helpful for increasing the number of flowering branches in the later stage.

Longevity flowers, what is frank and noisy, when the top is good.

There are two good stages of topping time for longevity flowers:

First, the vigorous growth period:

In spring and autumn, the temperature is between about 18 and 28 degrees Celsius, which is the vigorous growth period of longevity flowers.

Nitrogen fertilizer can be applied once before topping, and then topping can be carried out about 1 week later, which can promote the growth of branches and side buds

Second, after flowering:

When the longevity flowers bloom, the residual flowers are no longer ornamental, and should be pruned off as early as possible to reduce the consumption of nutrients. The flowering shoots will be driven to grow and the crown will be less compact, so the branches should be pruned and topped.

When topping, the long branches are driven at the time of flowering, leaving about 3 cm to be truncated.

Key points to pay attention to when topping with longevity flowers.

1. When topping longevity flowers, it should be noted that the temperature is about 18 to 28 degrees Celsius.

2. Before topping and pruning the longevity flowers, it is best to apply nitrogen fertilizer or organic fertilizer once. After fertilizing for about a week, prune to produce new shoots.

3. Before topping the longevity flowers, it is best to limit the water appropriately, and extend the daily two watering times for about 3 to 5 days before pruning. Pruning to bend about 2 days after the watering is carried out.

4. The tools for pruning and topping should be sharp, and potassium permanganate or carbendazim should be used for disinfection before pruning. When pruning, cut off about centimeters on the opposite leaves, and the wound should be neat.

It is best to top out from March to September.

Longevity flowers need to be constantly pruned and topped, so that it will send more side buds, generally more side buds, it will produce more flowers, and longevity flower topping should be carried out during the seedling period, March to September topping is the best, of course, it can also be topped after the longevity flower cuttings, when it grows to about ten centimeters.

Precautions. 1. Avoid excessive and frequent watering

Longevity flower is a kind of succulent plant of the Sedum family, if you water too frequently, it will lead to the situation of longevity, the specific manifestation of longevity is that the branches and leaves grow particularly tender, grow relatively robust, the longevity flowers and leaves are dark green or dark green, and the longevity flowers of the soil, the branches and leaves are tender green, and the gap between the branches and leaves is particularly large, the leaves grow delicate, the branches are thin, such longevity flowers are easy to rot roots, and can not bloom.

2. Give sufficient phosphorus and potassium fertilizer

After autumn, if your longevity flowers have grown vigorously enough, you can start to supplement potassium dihydrogen phosphate solution, even some fertilizers with high phosphorus and potassium fertilizer content can be, Hua Duoduo No. 2 or potassium dihydrogen phosphate can do.

However, potassium dihydrogen phosphate will be more targeted, because its phosphorus and potassium content is extremely high, which is particularly helpful for promoting the formation of flower buds in longevity flowers, and can ensure that longevity flowers grow shorter and stronger, avoid the situation of overgrowth, and make the root system of longevity flowers grow strong.

The longevity flowers are very beautiful because of their bright colors and colorful flower shapes. In order to promote the growth of longevity flowers, it is necessary to pinch them. Not only does this give the side buds and branches more nutrients and space to grow faster, but it also controls their height so that they grow shorter and stronger, and the flowers bloom more and more beautifully.

The following will take you to understand the time and precautions for the longevity flower pinching tip.

First, the time for longevity flowers to pinch the tip.

Pinching includes topping and topping, and longevity flowers can be pinched from July to September. In the seedling stage, it is necessary to pinch the tip of the longevity flower, and when the seedling grows to 4-6 cm, it needs to be topped; When the seedlings grow to 10 cm, they need to be topped. When the flowers fall and the new shoots begin to grow, the longevity flowers can be pinched a second time, which needs to be completed by August.

2. Precautions.

1.Pinch the tip in moderation.

Although pinching the tip can make the longevity flower bloom more flowers, you must pay attention to the appropriate amount of pinching the tip, and do not cut off all the branches, which will cause serious damage to the branches, which will be difficult to heal and lead to the death of the longevity flower. Just prune off some of the sick and sensitive branches, and keep the healthy ones.

2.Wound care.

After pinching the tip, spray some fungicides on the wound of the longevity flower, taking care not to get wet, so as not to rot the wound. In order to make the wound heal faster, the longevity flower should be provided with a cool and ventilated environment. And to provide fertilizer for longevity flowers, phosphorus and potassium fertilizers can be applied to allow them to fully absorb nutrients and germinate new shoots faster.

1. Topping: Generally early, usually about a month after the cuttings are lived, but the first topping can be carried out when the plant grows tall enough to pair the leaves.

2. Topping: Slightly later than topping, when the plant is 10cm long, leave 3 to 5 pairs of leaves, 5cm high stems, and knock off the top bud as a new cutting.

3. Longevity flower (scientific name: Narcissus jonquilla L.).）：

It is one of the species of the genus Longevity. The plant is very slender, up to 40 cm tall, with small bulbs and bright green, narrowly linear leaves, with grooves on the surface. The flower stem is equal to the leaf, the flower apex bears 2 6 flowers, the petals and the secondary corolla are golden yellow, the petals are short-pointed, the edge of the secondary corolla is wavy, the flower is fragrant, the diameter is up to 3 cm, the secondary corolla is only 4 mm high, and the diameter is about 1 cm.

4. Longevity flowers are autumn bulbous greenhouse flowers, like other plants of the genus Narcissus, they like full sunshine, tenacious vitality, can tolerate semi-shade, and are not cold-tolerant. In July and August, the leaves are dormant, and the flower buds are differentiated at the growth point of the bulb during the dormant period, which has the physiological characteristics of autumn and winter growth, early spring flowering, and summer dormancy. Originally found only in the Iberian Peninsula, it was often used as a horticultural plant in earlier periods, so it was found in the south of France, Italy and Dalmatia.

Introduction and cultivation of seeds in China for ornamental base.

When topping the longevity flower, it is necessary to cut off the leaf tips at the top of the branch to eliminate the apical dominance of the plant. 3. Maintenance: Move the longevity flower to a ventilated and breathable semi-shaded place to promote the rapid healing of plant wounds.

- September

Longevity flower topping is generally in 3-9 months, because longevity flowers generally bloom in 1-2 months, 3-9 months are in spring and summer, both temperature and climate are very suitable for longevity peanut growth, topping at this stage helps the plant to grow more side buds, after this period of topping, it is very easy to affect its flowering.

2. Topping

Under normal circumstances, the longevity flower topping, is to remove its top buds after the cuttings grow, if not topped in time, it will appear the phenomenon of top dominance, has been growing upwards, so that its growth rate will be slowed down, then it is necessary to use clean scissors to reduce the top buds, auxin flow balance, you can achieve the effect of multiple side buds.

3. Maintenance

After the longevity flower is topped, the flow of auxin tends to be balanced, and it needs to be thinly applied with more fertilizer to provide it with sufficient nutrients, so that the incision caused by removing the young shoots can heal and grow more side buds. Placing the topped longevity flowers in a ventilated and sunny place is conducive to their recovery and growth.

4. Precautions

When cutting off the top of the long branches and leaves of the longevity flower, it is necessary to use the sharp scissors that have been sterilized, and do not break it directly by hand, which will cause no serious damage to the plant.

Cut off the tips of the branches and leaves that are too long to avoid their overgrowth, which helps the plant to germinate side branches. 3. Maintenance: After pruning, it needs to be moved to a ventilated semi-shaded environment and sprayed with disinfectant.

- September

When topping the longevity flower, it is best to carry out it in March to September every year, because after September every year is the time when its flowers form and open, this time can not be topped, otherwise it will not be able to bloom, and it is best to carry out the topping in a temperature environment of 15-25, which is conducive to its recovery.

2. Topping method

To top the longevity flower, is to cut off the top of its too long branches and leaves, which can inhibit the top advantage of the plant, avoid its long-growing phenomenon, and also help its branch germination, so that it can be more lush and beautiful, and the number of flowers will be more, pay attention to the use of sterilized sharp scissors when topping.

3. Post-maintenance

After topping, you need to do a good job of maintenance management, at this time it is best to move the plant to a ventilated environment for maintenance, which will help it heal the wound, during which you can not let the water splash on its wound, otherwise it is easy to cause it to rot, and then you need to top dressing in time, so that the plant can grow vigorously.
