As winter approaches, many盆景 enthusiasts start to worry about their own锦鸡儿盆景 at home. In winter, with the decrease in temperature and sunlight, the maintenance of锦鸡儿盆jing becomes particularly important. Let's talk about the five key points for maintaining锦鸡儿盆jing in winter, to help your盆jing survive a warm winter.
Temperature ManagementIn winter, the thing锦鸡儿盆jing fears the most is low temperature. The suitable growth temperature for锦鸡儿盆jing is between 15-25℃. When maintaining in winter, try to keep the indoor temperature within this range. If conditions allow, you can use heating, air conditioning, and other equipment to adjust the indoor temperature. Also, be careful not to let the盆jing come into direct contact with cold wind to avoid frostbite.
Light AdjustmentIn winter, sunlight is scarce, and the light requirement for锦鸡儿盆jing is relatively low. However, to ensure its normal growth, it still needs an adequate amount of light. You can place the锦鸡儿盆jing in a well-lit area indoors, such as near a window. Be careful to avoid direct sunlight to prevent leaf burn.
Watering ManagementIn winter, the watering of锦鸡儿盆jing should follow the principle of "better dry than wet". Due to the lower temperature, the soil moisture evaporates slowly, so the frequency of watering should be reduced accordingly. Generally, watering once every 10-15 days is sufficient. When watering, choose a sunny day to do so, and avoid watering during cloudy and rainy weather to prevent diseases in the盆jing.
Fertilization ManagementIn winter, the growth rate of锦鸡儿盆jing is slower, and its demand for fertilizer also decreases accordingly. You can reduce the frequency of fertilization. Generally, applying a compound fertilizer once a month is enough. When fertilizing, avoid excessive fertilizer to prevent root burn.
Pruning and ShapingWinter is the best period for pruning and shaping锦鸡儿盆jing. The plant grows slowly, and the wounds after pruning heal easily. When pruning, pay attention to the following points:
1. Pruning tools should be sharp to avoid plant damage;
2. Pruning should follow the principle of "sparse and dense, high and low", maintaining the plant's graceful shape;
3. After pruning, apply horticultural glue promptly to prevent wound infection.
The key to maintaining锦鸡儿盆jing in winter lies in temperature, light, watering, fertilization, and pruning. As long as we master these key points, we can help the锦鸡儿盆jing survive a warm winter and welcome the arrival of spring.
According to the "China Flower Report", in recent years, with the increasing requirements for the home environment, the盆jing market has gradually heated up.
