The rhizomes of kalancho flowers are very long, how should they be pruned in winter?

There are many reasons for the growth of longevity flowers, including the growth caused by too much watering, the growth caused by insufficient light and the environment being too shaded, the growth caused by too much watering and too much water, and the growth caused by too much nutrition and too vigorous vegetative growth.

However, it is generally because of the light and moisture caused by the growth is too common, in the winter to raise longevity flowers, pay attention to heat preservation and frost protection, pay attention to temperature to promote flowering, pay attention to promote the full bud, pay attention to short-day plants to promote flowering skills.

For the questions asked by netizens, let's take a look at the **:

In the above picture, you can see that the longevity flower branches of netizens are serious, the branches are elongated between the nodes, and the bottom leaves are yellow, which is caused by too much humidity, and then look at the pot soil, the pot soil is a little damp, the bottom is almost a branch leaf, the upper leaf is vigorous, and the obvious elongation characteristics are obvious.

Conclusion: Longevity flowers should be the flowering period, or at least the flower bud differentiation period, the longevity flowers of netizens can not see the flower buds, the growth is serious, there are obvious yellow leaves, but the whole winter should be the flower bud differentiation period, the latest, to the moon around the flower bud differentiation, spring rescue flowering bursting pot,So at this time, although I can't see the flower buds, and the growth is serious, I don't recommend pruning, waiting for the flower buds to differentiate and bloom.

Can you prune the longevity flowers that are maintained indoors in winter if they don't see the flowers? The nursery technician has something to say

As we said just now, it is not recommended that netizens prune longevity flowers, of course, you can prune them, after all, the way to raise flowers is different, there are mainly flowers, there are first modeling and then looking at flowers, pruning is not visible for a long time, but after pruning, it can promote branching, control Wang shape is good-looking, and it is also possible to look at flowers in the later stage.

However, I like to look at flowers, although I can't see the buds, the growth is serious, now is the flower bud differentiation period, the latest to the moon will be flower buds differentiation to see the buds, a little longer although the shape is not good-looking, but after our maintenance can promote flowering, the later period is recommended to keep the pot soil dry maintenance, the environment is moist and ventilated, the temperature is controlled at about 12 degrees, the highest should not be higher than 15 degrees, and then set a black bag to see less light, and finally spray some potassium dihydrogen phosphate, soon you can see the flower buds, and then prune after the flowers.

After pruning with scissors to expose the rhizome of the kalancho, cut off the unwanted part with scissors.

Generally, pruning is carried out during the vigorous growth period of longevity flowers and after the flowering period, and pruning is meaningless at this time when the flowering period of longevity flowers is officially in winter.

Put the potted plants in a warm room, use sterilized scissors to cut off the rotten rhizomes, and if they grow too long, they should also be cut off, and ventilate after pruning.

When pruning the longevity flowers, you can shorten the branches of more than 12 centimeters and cut them into short branches that are eight centimeters long.

1. Pruning method

When pruning the plant, you need to use scissors with a sharp edge, and then shorten the branches of the longevity flower more than 12 centimeters, and cut them all into short branches of about 8 centimeters, and you can also cut off the buds that grow at the top of the branches to inhibit the growth of the branches and promote the growth of longevity flowers.

2. Strict water control

The longevity of the flowers may be due to overwatering. Therefore, when maintaining longevity flowers in the later stage, you can strictly control the water for them, and it is best to water water in the soil when the soil is relatively dry, so as to provide a moist growth environment for longevity flowers, and stop watering when the soil is wet.

3. Scientific fertilization

In the process of later maintenance, it is necessary to provide phosphorus and potassium fertilizer for longevity flowers, supplemented by nitrogen fertilizer, to maintain the normal growth of plants, and in order to prevent soil compaction, it is best to use well-rotted organic fertilizer.

4. Supplemental lighting

Longevity flowers appear to grow phenomenon, but also may be the lack of light in the process of growth, so in the process of maintenance, it is necessary to put the longevity flowers in a sunny environment, so that the plants can receive all-day sunshine, normal photosynthesis, when the light is too strong, you need to shade the longevity flowers in time, so as not to burn the leaves.

First, the pruning method of longevity flowers.

1. The second pair of leaves under the flower branch and the flower branch are cut off together, and new shoots can grow and bloom for the second time after a while.

2. Overhaul after flower failure every year, prune before July only need to leave about 3 cm of branches, and the others can be cut off (you can leave no leaves at all).

3. When pruning, it is necessary to cooperate with repotting and fertilization, and the pruned branches can be cuttings. Soon the longevity will produce a lot of shoots, and then keep the plant within 10-15 cm, and the excess can be removed.

4. In the early stage of vigorous growth of longevity flowers, it is necessary to pay attention to topping, promote branching, and make potted flowers grow more plump, which will help the flowers to bloom more densely in the future.

Second, the principle of repairing the base scissors:

Longevity flower pruning is based on the principle of cutting inside and not outside, cutting on and not cutting, and cutting weak and not strong. Leave 3 to 4 slave branches on the main branch, leave 3 to 4 nodes on each slave branch, and cut off the branches and leaves that are round and careful, and at the same time cut off the old and weak yellow leaves, as well as overlapping branches, and some impermeable leaves should be cut off.

The flower is gone, and I subtract it from the base of the flower. Although longevity has a long flowering period, it does not bloom all year round, and even in the south, it only blooms for a few seasons. The key is to supplement fertilizer in time when flowering and flowering, mainly phosphorus and potassium fertilizer.

There is no need to repair, the longevity is waiting for the end of blooming, and the cuttings need to be re-cut at the beginning of the next summer to be easy to flower.

There are two kinds of longevity flower pruning, one is that flower friends want to know whether the flower stem that has bloomed should be cut off, and the longevity flower can be cut off after flowering. The second kind of pruning is to promote the plant type, promote flowering, and branching, and it is recommended to do it in spring and autumn, when the weather is not hot or cold. Because longevity flowers are not heat-resistant, they are usually in an evergreen dormant state during the high temperature period in midsummer, and heatstroke prevention and cooling are the most important at this time!

If you want to control the shape of the mother plant, you can consider pruning twice, the first time cut the main strip to keep the appearance of 5-10 cm, and then repeat again when new shoots grow, you can increase the branches and promote more flowering, but don't cut too much at once, consider the photosynthesis of the leaves. If you cut it too bald, it may cause death (two of mine were hung up because they were cut too hard).

If the longevity flowers are cut at the right time, they can also usher in a second flowering, and I have a pot of peach pink Judy main flower branches at home (many buds have already emerged in January this year). The pruned branches of longevity flowers can be used for multiplication, and can be cut at will, and the survival is very high.

Cut off the top head, and then fix it slowly, not too much at a time.

The growth of longevity flowers is very rapid, and the vitality is tenacious, as long as there is no problem with the root system, forced pruning will not endanger life, only the more pruned the more prosperous the easier it is to flower, so when pruning to be ruthless, only three or five bud points can be left.

It is necessary to determine the height of the longevity flower first, then determine the growth range of the longevity flower, and then prune it.

Be sure to cut off the branches and leaves in question, and then prune them properly, as well as topping and topping.
