In the spring, the temperature gradually rises, and many people will start to grow vegetables. Many of our common rapeseed, tomatoes, cucumbers and so on are also growing pumpkins. Recently, there is a net celebrity Beibei pumpkin. Many people want to plant it on the balcony. It is not suitable for planting on the balcony. In fact, it can be potted or raised on the balcony. As long as you master a few key points, one tree can produce dozens of them, and the branches are very beautiful. And when it's mature, it tastes soft and waxy when picked, and it's very delicious. Today, I will tell you how to cultivate Beibei squash.
1, large potted
We must know that it belongs to the category of pumpkin, its root system is very developed, and the fruit it bears is larger than that of cucumbers. It consumes a lot of nutrients, so be sure to use large pots instead of small pots. For soil, use nutrient soil with good air permeability as much as possible. Because indoor cultivation uses garden soil, yellow leaves and roots will rot after siltation. Nutrients will produce little or no results. Use soil with good air permeability and use large pots to raise them, so as to ensure that it has sufficient nutrients and grows vigorously and produces more results.
2, big sun
Pumpkins must be planted under the sun, because it will grow long if there is no light, and it will not bloom if there is no light, we can throw it directly under the sun Go, so that its leaves grow big and its root system grows well-developed. In the later stage, there will be one melon per leaf, and one tree can bear dozens of them.
3, water and fat enough
Beibei pumpkins usually choose to grow seedlings, and we can transplant them into pots when the seedlings grow one or two pairs of wet leaves.After transplanting, it will be able to grow quickly by ensuring reasonable maintenance in the later stage, and it will blossom and bear fruit after a period of time. Therefore, we must ensure sufficient water. Don’t lack water when planting in flowerpots. Generally, pick up the soil in the pot and dry it for one or two centimeters. You just need to water it thoroughly in time. Fertilizers should be used regularly because of its growth. It is very fast and consumes more nutrients.
Use fertilizers that are balanced in nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium as much as possible in the early stage of the seedlings, such as the universal nutrient solution that we know, when he grows to six to eight leaves, we can go and supplement him with high phosphorus High-potassium fertilizers, such as Huaduoduo No.2, can also be watered with self-fermented fish scales and fish bones. Fertilization must adhere to the principle of thin fertilizer and diligence, and use it on a regular basis. Only when the nutrients are adequately watered to keep up, its roots will grow well, and it will be able to bloom more in the later stage and bear more fruit.
4, artificial pollination
Beibei pumpkin, which grows buds to bloom in the open air environment, can bear fruit, but indoors or on the balcony, the ventilation is relatively poor, if it blooms If you don't pollinate, he will not bear fruit. His flowers are divided into two types, one is a male flower, which does not carry small round fruits under the flower, and the one that carries the fruit is a female flower. We are going to when it blooms, that is, in the morning, you see that its pollen is yellow, and the pollen of the male flower can be applied to the stigma of the female flower to complete the pollination. If the pollen becomes white, you can also pollinate it. It will not bear fruit, because it has lost its activity, so timely pollination will do.
Speaking of pollination, many people at this time will say that when the bei pumpkin I grow has only female flowers when it blooms, the female flowers are open and the male flowers are small but not open. What should I do? When you see that it has flowers, if all the flowers are female, it is recommended that you remove the female flowers. If there are female flowers when the male flowers come out, we can keep them at this time, and you can pollinate them when they bloom together. , It can bear fruit, if it is all a certain kind of flower,You can keep it to grow, but the later flowering can not be pollinated, it will only increase the nutrient consumption. After removing it, let its root system grow well, and then the male and female flowers will appear at the same time. You can pollinate it and let it bear fruit. of.
5, grow tall and remove the bottom leaves
Beibei pumpkin belongs to the strong climbing performance, we plant it in the pot to set him up, and he climbs to the shelf After you go up, you must remember to remove the blades that have grown taller as much as possible. After removal, the ventilation underneath will be better. If it grows very high, you can't let him climb again. You can properly Drop the vine so that the vine is underneath. As long as the upper side grows continuously, the pumpkin will continue to grow. Its growth cycle is very strong. If you remove the bottom leaves, as long as there is no big leaf blocking, it will not rot underneath. The top is constantly growing and blooming. The longer and more it grows, the more blooms and more results. Will be more.
Beibei pumpkin grows very fast and its main stem is very thick, so in the process of maintenance, it is necessary to use large pots and soil with good air permeability, and then ensure sufficient light, no water and fertilizer Short, pollinate promptly after flowering, and fall vines when they grow taller. If the flowers are already blooming underneath and the fruits are harvested in time, the vines will also fall down, so that as long as the top grows, the vines will be able to bloom and bear fruit. , And the whole plant will not grow too high, and it can be planted in a flower pot.
