What flowers are suitable for raising Tongren
Tongren, located in the hinterland of Wuling, relies on its unique geographical environment and climatic conditions to breed a unique flower culture. There are both local plants that grow in accordance with nature, as well as carefully cultivated ornamental flowers. Among them, the city flower crape myrtle and the city tree osmanthus are ecological symbols that carry the memory of the city. The three-dimensional climate characteristics of Tongren's geographical climate and flower adaptation are analyzed. The average annual warm climate of 15-17 ° C and abundant precipitation of 1,100 - 1,300 mm have built a typical subtropical ecosystem. The natural greenhouse effect formed by the temperature difference between day and night makes Tongren an ideal growing place for shade-loving plants such as rhododendrons and hydrangea. Four-season flower cultivation strategy You can plant cold-resistant varieties such as pansy and pommel in spring. In summer, sunny flowers such as lotus and crape myrtle bloom in full bloom. In autumn, chrysanthemums and begonias dot the mountain city. In winter, camellia and wintersweet flowers are full of frost and snow. In rainy seasons, attention should be paid to the drainage management of plants such as heather and privet microphylla. Characteristic plant cultivation practice The courtyard landscape configuration plan recommends using a vertical greening combination of wisteria + ginkgo, with ground cover plants such as iris and green orchid. The balcony space can cultivate small trees such as bougainvillea and sycamore trees, and combine them with herbs such as sage and cattail to form a three-dimensional landscape. Tips for cultivating crape myrtle trees in the city should be selected from slightly acidic soil with good drainage, and must be trimmed every year after flowering. The cultivation of osmanthus trees needs to keep the soil moist, and applying organic fertilizer in early spring can promote the rich fragrance of flowers in autumn. Both need to pay attention to preventing and controlling common pests and diseases such as aphids. Ecological and cultural inheritance and development of crape myrtle and osmanthus, which are the city's business cards, form several kilometers of ecological corridors along the Jinjiang River. Local nurseries have cultivated new varieties of crape myrtle such as "Fanjing Zixia". The annual output value of the osmanthus deep processing industry has exceeded 10 million, achieving a positive transformation of ecological value and economic value.
From courtyard landscape to urban greening, flower planting in Tongren always follows the principle of "suitable land and suitable tree." Mastering core skills such as crape myrtle flowering control technology and osmanthus grafting methods can make local plants shine more brightly. This wisdom of harmonious coexistence between man and nature is writing a new ecological chapter in the Wuling Mountains.
