In dog days, these three kinds of flowers need to be backed up, there are many benefits, and there are flowers to see every year!
Dog days are the hottest time of the year. There are 40 dog days this year, and the weather is very high. Now it is very common for families to grow flowers. In the summer, especially in the dog days, it is most likely to lead to the death of a pot of flowers and plants.v Therefore, if you are maintaining these three kinds of flowers and plants at home, you should quickly back them up during the dog days, that is, propagation by cuttings, and don’t leave flowerpots this year. Moreover, the successful propagation is particularly rewarding, with endless fun and many benefits!
The first type, fuchsia
When summer comes, the fuchsia raised at home will easily die in battle. If you have a pot of fuchsia at home, and you are not sure that it will pass the summer smoothly, you must check the backup in advance, so that you will have flowers every year, and will not be wiped out! Moreover, the seedlings of Fuchsia are easier to spend the summer than the mature ones. Not only are they easy to take care of, but they can also be changed from one pot to multiple pots, so the balcony is not a problem!
To propagate Fuchsia by cuttings, it is necessary to cut off the strong branches of Fuchsia. If conditions permit, you can buy vermiculite , and use vermiculite cuttings to propagate Fuchsia to Fuchsia. It can take root in about ten days, or it can be grown. Insert it in a mixture of garden soil and perlite and place it in a cool and astigmatic place at home. After more than ten days, you will gradually see the flower root emerging. After the flower root is stable, it will be repotted. In autumn, the seedlings will also enter the rapid growth rate. In the growing season, it will bloom smoothly next year!
The second type, geranium
Geranium is also a very popular ornamental flower in recent years. It has many varieties, including single-petal and double-petaled. It is especially easy to burst into pots and has a relatively long flowering period, especially when it is hung for maintenance. Very beautiful and eye-catching, and the decoration effect on the environment is very good!
In the dog days, geraniums do not like hot and high temperature weather. If they are not properly maintained, it will easily lead to geraniums. This year, there will be flowerpots left. If they die every year, geraniums will become disposable flowers and plants, so be sure to To propagate by cuttings, make backups in advance.
The third type, longevity flower
longevity flower has a beautiful meaning of increasing blessings and longevity, and can usually be given to the elderly to wish the elderly a long life, happiness and health. And the flowers of the longevity flower are very gorgeous, and when they bloom, they symbolize the prosperity of the flowers, so they are very popular among people!
Kalanchoe is a very drought-tolerant plant and has relatively good adaptability to the environment, but in the hot summer, if it is not properly maintained, it still cannot escape death. Therefore, longevity flowers should also be backed up by cuttings.
In addition, cutting and multiplying longevity flowers kill two birds with one stone. Why do you say that? Because the longevity flower will enter a dormant period in high temperature weather, the dormant longevity flower does not require much water and nutrients. In order to reduce the consumption of nutrients, it is necessary to cut off a part of the branches and leaves, and keep 1 to 2 on each branch. One bud point, the rest of the leaves can be cut off.
If you find that there are strong leaves of Kalanchoe, it is better to propagate by cuttings. Kalanchoe can be cut with branches or leaves. Both methods have a high survival rate, especially with branches and cuttings. , the basic survival rate is 100%, ten pots and eight pots can be reproduced at a time, and it is not a problem to fill the balcony!
