More and more flower lovers like to grow blue snowflakes. In addition to its unique blue flowers, they are also experts in flowering. They are simple to bloom, large in volume, and have a very long flowering period. They can bloom from early summer to early winter. The most important thing is that they do not like to get sick and pests and are a good "repaying flowers".
If you want to talk about the disadvantage of blue snowflakes, it is that they are not cold-resistant. Once the beginning of winter solar term passes, it indicates that winter has arrived. After the blue snowflakes bloom and fail, it is time to prepare for winter.
Some novice flower lovers who raise blue snowflakes believe that blue snowflakes are "keep warm" during the winter. In fact, this understanding is correct, it is just a bit one-sided.
I want the blue snowflakes to spend the winter safely, and the amount of flowers will be larger next year. There are four measures that cannot be ignored. Interested flower lovers come and have a look!
1. Keep warm
Blue snowflakes are not cold-resistant. When the minimum temperature at night is less than 5 degrees, it is recommended that blue snowflake pot plants that are still maintained outdoors should be moved indoors in time to avoid being frozen and affecting health.
If it is ground-planted blue snowflakes, or it is inconvenient to move into the room, and the temperature is less than 5 degrees, certain insulation measures must be taken. You can trim off the branches that are too long, manually give a large transparent plastic bag, or make a small insulation shed to keep the heat in. Remember to leave breathable holes. When the temperature is high during the day, you can uncover it and increase light and ventilation.
It should be noted that whether it is outdoor blue snowflakes or indoor blue snowflakes, moderate ventilation is OK. Don’t place it in the air outlet. At the same temperature, the air outlet is more likely to be frozen, and yellow leaves, fallen leaves, even frostbite, and frozen to death.
For flower lovers in the north, there are various heating equipment indoors. The blue snowflakes should be kept away from the heating position. If they are too close, the moisture of the leaves will evaporate too quickly, and yellow and dead leaves will easily appear. Good intentions will do bad things.
If it is floor heating, it is best to place it on the flower stand to separate the flower pot from the floor to avoid water loss in the soil of the flower pot and affect the health of the root system.
2. Extend the watering time
As the ambient temperature decreases, the transpiration ability of the blue snowflakes decreases. After watering the blue snowflakes once, the drying time will also increase.
Flower lovers all have this experience: in summer, they basically water blue snowflakes, or water them every day, like a "little buffalo", like drinking water; now they can't dry it for four or five days, don't rush to water them.
The temperature is low and the amount of water required for blue snowflakes is low. We must gradually extend the watering time, reduce the watering frequency and watering volume, and water according to the actual needs of blue snowflakes. The standard is that the leaves do not droop.
For example, there is heating in the north 24°, and the ventilation is relatively poor. A pot of 2 gallons of blue snowflakes has reached 7 or 8 days. When the soil in the pot is dry and the leaves are slightly drooping, then water it.
The temperature of the blue snowflakes outdoors is more than ten degrees and the flowering period has ended. The watering time should be appropriately extended, and the leaves should not droop, so don’t rush to water.
The temperature is relatively low. If you water too much, the root system cannot absorb it, the chance of root rot increases, and you are prone to freezing.
Sufficient lighting environment
No matter what the situation is, there is definitely no problem to add light to the blue snowflakes in winter.
Especially the blue snowflakes that are moved into the room, be sure to place them in a sufficiently lit position so that they can bask in the sun beautifully.
Under sufficient lighting environment, it can increase the temperature of the blue snowflakes and keep warm; it can also be photosynthesised, accumulate organic nutrients for consumption and absorption, achieve the purpose of self-strengthening, and increase resistance.
Some flower lovers have not had enough beauty because the blue snowflakes have passed the flowering period, so they put them in the corner. The light is limited and they cannot perform sufficient photosynthesis. There is no change in the short term. In fact, they lack nutrient accumulation. When the spring next year, the blue snowflakes will regain their vitality and grow will show the obvious difference.
So, even if you move the blue snowflakes into the room, try to place them on the balcony facing south, west and east, as long as you don’t blow the cold wind.
Gentle organic fertilizer increases resistance
The temperature decreases, and the cell activity of blue snowflakes becomes worse. Some are suitable for temperatures and will continue to bloom; some will slowly end the flowering period and are about to enter a "dormant" state.
Personally suggest that no matter what the blue snowflake is, do not apply concentrated fertilizer or fast-acting fertilizer, such as fast-acting compound fertilizer that promotes growth, potassium dihydrogen phosphate that promotes flowering, and Huaduoduo series. These are all fast-acting fertilizers, which have strong fertility and are chemical fertilizers.
When the blue snowflakes are not dormant, you can bury a circle of microbial agent organic fertilizer in the pot soil. The fertilizer effect is gentle, allowing the blue snowflakes to slowly absorb nutrients to increase resistance. It also regulates the soil, making the soil loose and solid, safely spend the winter, and bloom more vigorously in the coming year.
at the end of the article : The above are about raising blue snowflakes in November, four measures that cannot be ignored: keep warm, extend watering time, sufficient lighting environment, and gentle organic fertilizers to increase resistance, help blue snowflakes to survive the winter safely and bloom more in the coming year. #My Botanical Garden#
