This is one of them, and the second is that the breeding of longevity flowers is relatively low, and it is not difficult to raise longevity flowers well. The super long flowering period and beautiful flowers are easily maintained, which makes many flower lovers who like longevity flowers.
But then again, although longevity flowers are easier to grow, after using the wrong breeding method, some situations that should not have happened, such as the leaves are very small, and there are deformed leaves, and there are no differentiated buds at all.
In fact, at this stage, the temperature is suitable and the light is sufficient. What we need to do is to try to do fewer irrelevant things, which is to be "lazy". Sometimes, being too diligent will help you.
So, what are the irrelevant things to pay attention to when growing longevity flowers?
The first thing to do: water too diligently
No matter when, Changshouhua is not used to watering frequently. If she is too diligent, she is just "helping badly". This starts with the habits of Changshouhua. What are the longevity flowers with thick leaves and thick branches? These are good places to store nutrients. The cost of frequent watering is that the leaves and branches absorb too much water, showing signs of whitening, and the soil in the pot is prone to water accumulation.
Some flower friends said, I don’t know how to see if the longevity flower needs to be watered, because I am afraid that it will be dried to death, so I will water too much before I know it. In fact, it depends on whether the longevity flower needs watering, that is, you will understand that it is not difficult.
① Weight of the flower pot
You are a diligent flower grower and you will inevitably move the flower pot regularly. Naturally, you can know the weight of the flower pot. You can usually determine when to start watering by weighing the weight of the flower pot.
②Look at the leaf status
Longevity flowers are very drought-tolerant flowers and will not lose their leaves due to a few days of lack of water. Instead, you can observe the status of the leaves of the longevity flower to master when watering is the best time. That is the blade on the top of the base, that is, the blade on the bottom. When it becomes wrinkled and soft, it can be watered.
③ Use bamboo sticks to insert soil
Find a bamboo stick. Wooden chopsticks are OK. Just insert them to the bottom of the basin and pull them out after a while. The chopsticks are dry, or there are only some wet marks on the bottom, so they need to be watered. If the chopsticks are wet, it proves that there is no need to water.
The second thing: rush to repot and change soil
Many times, the potted flowers at home are recommended to repot and change soil once a year. But Changshouhua is an exception. Why do you say so? Flower lovers who are familiar with the habits of longevity flowers should understand.
The crown of the longevity flower is not very large. This is because its root system is underdeveloped and limited by the root system, and cannot grow a larger body shape. However, the root system is underdeveloped and its dependence on the soil is not so high. As long as the soil in the pot is not solidified, it will cause the problem of airtightness.
At the same time, if the root system is not strong, you don’t need to use a large pot of Longevity Flower. Using a large pot will cause the Longevity Flower to become deformed and the leaves will become smaller. Because the root system is weak, there is a lot of soil in large pots, but whether it is watering or fertilizing, it is a burden on the longevity flower with weak root system.
We know that longevity flowers are typical flowers that "foster small but not elderly". Generally, after about 3 years of cultivation, the plant's flowering ability will decline. What we need to do is cut off healthy branches and leaves and cultivate them. The vitality of Changshouhua is very strong, and it is easy to reproduce by cuttings. In spring and autumn, the temperature and environment are suitable, and the survival rate of cuttings is above 90%.
If you need to repot and change the soil, it may be that the soil in the pot is severely clotted and alkalized, or the root rot of the longevity flower, so you need to repot and change the soil.During the process of repotting, you should pay attention to cleaning the root system, remove the rotten root system, and soak it in , , and sterilize it. After re-potting, the soaked carbendol solution can be poured into the pot soil.
In other words, watering and repotting both things must be done too diligently. For Changshouhua, it is a good thing. Otherwise, if you are good at doing bad things, people's Changshouhua is busy differentiating flower buds and nurturing flower buds. You can see flowers in the nearer November, but your own Changshouhua grows hard to describe, and the key leaves will grow smaller and smaller, or even deformed leaves.
So, in addition to these two things, do you need to be diligent in other maintenance?
①Light
Horse flowers, in addition to the need for shade and sun protection in summer, they should go to the room to prevent cold in winter. In the rest of the time, it is best to keep them exposed if they can be exposed. If there is no conditions for growing them, they should keep them in a better lighting environment on the balcony on the south side.
② Fertilization
3 Fertilization during this period is very important. It is necessary to accumulate enough phosphorus and potassium elements to ensure its nutrient supply during the flowering period. Huaduoduo No. 2 phosphorus and potassium fertilizers and flower-promoting fertilizers have become the first choice. When using Huaduoduo No. 2 flower-promoting fertilizer, you only need to spray about 1,000 times of fertilizer solution three times in a row. Each time is 1 week apart, and the purpose of replenishing phosphorus and potassium elements can be achieved.
at the end:
If the longevity flower has a "small leaf and deformity", it is because these two things are done too diligently, so correct them quickly, otherwise it will be a bad thing. Remember to see whose longevity flower blooms first!
