In late August, how to care for geraniums so that they can bloom into large flower bulbs?

Geranium, also known as paraffin red, it has a lot of species, the color is different when it blooms, the flower color is dark and light, there are double petals and single petals, some have fragrance, the flowering period is relatively long, and some geraniums will bloom beautiful flowers in summer. So how do you care for geraniums when the temperature is high?

How geraniums spend the summer.

Geraniums are not very cold-resistant, and at the same time need to pay attention to summer, generally raising geraniums in winter is very simple, that is, directly at low temperatures, move potted geraniums indoors or enclosed balconies, as long as they are kept above five degrees, there is no problem, but in summer, you should pay attention to more details.

1. Sunscreen. In addition to the soil geraniums that are good to raise, other species must be noted, and at the same time, when the high temperature is high, it is also the time when geraniums are most afraid, at this time can not be placed in the open air to bask in the sun, regardless of it, it must be placed in a cool and ventilated place, if it is outdoors, it must be placed under the awning, if it is indoors, it must be a ventilated and cool place.

2. Water control. The vast majority of geraniums do not bloom much in summer, except for soil days, they may still bloom in summer, and other geraniums are basically in a semi-dormant state, so you must control watering at this time.

In summer, geraniums can not be left outdoors for a long time to rain, if the rain is too sufficient, there is water in the potting soil for a long time, it is easy to cause geraniums to rot roots and stems, yellow leaves to lose leaves.

3. Soil. At the same time, raise geranium soil, although you can mix soil at will, but it must be loose and breathable, you can directly use garden soil, add some peat, humus, perlite and the like, do not add too much organic fertilizer in the soil, so as not to burn seedlings. For small seedlings, you can add one-tenth of some organic fertilizer to the potting soil, and you can add a little more to the adult plants.

Of course, do not fertilize in the summer and do not repot geraniums.

4. Prevention and control of pests and diseases.

In the summer, occasionally observe the leaves of geraniums, the front and back need to look at some, whether there are pests and diseases, if there are insects, to eliminate them in time.

Of course, if it is in the summer when the temperature is not high, the geranium is still in a state of growth, if it is raised in a well-ventilated place, not on the balcony of high temperature, we can also continue to raise a lot of water and fertilizer, and it will continue to bloom a lot of beautiful flowers. However, in places with high temperatures in summer, especially those raised on the balcony, they should not be watered too much, and the water will be served, which will lead to black rot of branches and rhizomes. Therefore, the environment for raising geraniums in summer is more important.

If it is a potted geranium raised in a pot, if it is raised in the open, on the one hand, it is necessary to do a good job of shade and sun protection, and at the same time, the potting soil should not be too dry, because the outdoor ventilation is better and the water evaporates quickly, so a certain amount of moisture should be maintained in the potting soil.

Geraniums are afraid of high temperatures, so we should pay attention to these points in summer in order to bloom beautifully!

You can fertilize it more, as long as the fertilizer is sufficient, you can make it grow particularly well, and then water more, water is also more important, but also to prevent it from giving birth to insects, so that it can bloom particularly beautifully.

Although it has entered March, the temperature in the northern region is still relatively low, and the temperature difference between day and night is also large, so do not move the geraniums outdoors too early at this time, otherwise the sudden cooling or low temperature at night will easily frostbite the plants, resulting in normal flowering this year. Under normal circumstances, wait until after the Qingming Festival, and then gradually move it outdoors, so that it has a suitable time for the new environment, so as not to affect the normal growth and flowering.

Plant it in fertile soil, water it more and fertilize it more, then spray pesticides on time according to its growth cycle, remember to prune the branches, and pay attention to sun protection and warmth.

1. Timely temperature control: It likes warm in winter and cool in summer, and the most suitable temperature is between 15-20 degrees, and attention should be paid to high temperature and low temperature. If the temperature exceeds 35 degrees in summer or below 8 degrees in winter, it will stop growing, let alone flower.

Therefore, the high temperature in summer should be moved to a cool and well-ventilated place, and in winter, it should be placed indoors and kept warm at more than 10 degrees, which is more conducive to the flowering of plants.

2. Sufficient light: If you want it to bloom, you must give it enough light. Usually the skin burns the hands to be placed in a place with better light conditions, 6-8 hours of sun every day in spring and autumn, all day in winter, as long as you avoid strong light in summer, the light is enough to promote smooth flowering, but also explosive pots.

3. Appropriate fertilization: It naturally needs more nutrients for flowering than it usually grows, and it should be fertilized and supplemented in time. During the growing season, organic fertilizer is applied frequently, and phosphate and potassium fertilizers are supplemented before flowering to promote more robust growth and better flowering.

Geraniums should pay attention to the watering method during the flowering period, not too often, it is best to see dry watering, and not too much at a time, the soil must not have stagnant water. At this time, it needs more light, and it should be placed in the light to let it see the light more. It is also necessary to pay attention to the temperature of the section, which is too high or too low may cause falling flowers.

The high temperature should not exceed 30 degrees, and the low temperature should not be lower than 8 degrees. In addition, temporarily stop the fertilizer treatment, and then supplement the fertilizer after the flowering period.

Some flower varieties themselves have a certain ability to burst flowers and bloom abundantly, but even their own characteristics need to be artificially helped, so that they can reap the desired effect. Geraniums are no exception, let's take erect geraniums as an example, today let's take a look at what it takes to make it burst into a large flower bulb.

In fact, it is very simple to have more branches, that is, to make geraniums have more branches, so how to do it? In the first step, we can use the method of removing the apical dominance topping to make it germinate more. Observe your own geraniums, find the branches, and when they have grown to about 5-6 cm, carry out the topping work.

The specific method is to cut off the top of the most ** branch, and remove the top of the side branches. When this is cut, multiple side branches will grow at the base of the branch. And when the side branches after this wave of pruning grow again, you can continue to do this.

After doing this two or three times, the side branches of the geraniums will increase, and the number of flower branches will naturally increase, so that you can prepare the foundation for next year's burst.

At the same time, when we carry out topping and topping, we should also pay attention to the timely removal of the yellow leaves at the bottom, so as not to affect photosynthesis, and can also avoid the occurrence of geranium gray mold caused by poor ventilation.

The topping work is not finished, and the second step is top dressing. The necessary fertilizer topdressing can make geraniums grow more robustly. It should be noted that geraniums do not like large fat and water, so they should be topdressed with thin fertilizer, and at the same time, the current fertilization is to make the leaf surface not too large, and the crown width is increasing, and the branches are increasing.

After the two-step process, the next step is to wait for the flowers to bloom. However, there is still a piece of work to be done after the flowers bloom, and the third step is to shelter from the rain. Geraniums placed in the open need to be well protected from the rain, and those placed indoors need not to spray water on the surface of the flowers when watering.

The reason is that the flowers of geraniums contain a certain amount of ethylene, and if it rains, the water with ethylene will fall to the leaf surface, which will cause holes to appear, and the leaves will age over time.

Some friends may ask, after all this, it seems that there is no mention of erect geraniums, so why do we take it as an example? Geranium is a good potted variety of family balcony, and the type of erect geranium itself has a good ability to burst flowers and bloom abundantly, and has the potential to bloom into large flower balls. In addition, with proper management, erect geraniums can bloom in multiple seasons, even if the light conditions are not very good.

When raising geraniums, be sure to place them in a place where the sun is more ripe, and water them regularly, and try not to breed them with sticky soil.

Be sure to keep it sunny, put it in a ventilated place, be sure to water it more often, and fertilize it frequently.

Geraniums bloom from May to June. In addition to dormancy in midsummer, it can continue to bloom if the environment is suitable.

Geraniums prefer cold, but they are also not hardy. Avoid high temperatures, like sunshine, like well-drained fertile loam; It is not resistant to water and moisture, and it is easy to grow if the humidity is too high, and it is slightly resistant to drought. The suitable temperature for growth is about 15 during the day and not less than 5 at night.

In summer, dormant or semi-dormant should be placed in semi-shade and moisture should be controlled.

1. Breeding environment: Large-flowered geraniums can be cultivated with humus, peat, sawdust, and mountain soil to prepare base soil. 2. Water and fertilizer management

During the growing season, large-flowered geraniums are fertilized once a week and watered every 2 days. 3. Precautions: Cut off the spotted leaves in time after the leaves are spotted, and spray carbendazim and chlorothalonil for sterilization of the plants.

1. Breeding environment

Geraniums are suitable for growing in fertile and loose soil, and can be prepared with two parts of humus, two parts of peat, two parts of sawdust, and two parts of mountain soil, and disinfect them in the sun, and then put them into pots covered with broken tiles, and should be repotted every 2 years during the breeding period.

2. Water and fertilizer management

After the large-flowered geranium enters the growth period, it is necessary to apply the rotten farmhouse fertilizer once a week, water every 2 days to promote the growth of the plant, and when the temperature is too high in summer, it is necessary to combine watering and fertilization to keep the potting soil dry and slightly wet, stop fertilizing in winter, and water the large-flowered geranium in the afternoon of sunny weather.

3. Precautions

In the process of growth, geraniums are prone to the symptoms of leaf spots, which is the phenomenon of infection with leaf spot disease, the leaves should be cut off in time, and the plants should be sprayed with carbendazim solution, and the fallen leaves and dead leaves in the soil should be removed regularly during the later maintenance to avoid leaf decay and bacteria.
