Don't owe it to raise flowers in the twelfth lunar month
The twelfth lunar month of winter is the time when flowers bloom during the New Year, but wrong maintenance methods may cause beloved plants to wither ahead of schedule. This article focuses on five common household flowers and provides an in-depth analysis of winter watering minefields and scientific maintenance plans to help you avoid maintenance traps. The core points of maintaining crabclaw orchid during flowering period and water control. Crabclaw orchid in full flowering period is extremely sensitive to water. At this time, thorough water will cause a bud drop rate of more than 80% within 72 hours. It is recommended to use the "three-finger test method": insert your fingers into the soil of the pot for 2-3 centimeters. If it is completely dry, you can pour 50ml of warm water along the edge of the pot. Water management during dormant period After pruning, at least 3 leaves need to be retained, and the watering amount every 20 days after entering the dormant stage should be controlled to 1/3 of the daily amount. It can be combined with foliar spraying of potassium dihydrogen phosphate (concentration 0.1%) to maintain plant vitality. Cyclamen Scientific Water Supply Plan When water is supplied by dipping basin method at the bottom of the water absorbing and preventing rotten balls, the water temperature must be consistent with room temperature (temperature difference ≤3℃), and the soaking time per time should be controlled within 15 minutes. Stop when the water saturation of the basin soil reaches 70%, to avoid excessive humidity of the substrate causing gray mold. Environmental humidity control and cultivation of flowers in the twelfth lunar month
Keep the air humidity at 50-60%, and place a humidifying stone next to the flower pot. Pay attention to avoid touching the leaf fluff with water. Use a cotton swab to dip it in beer diluent (1:20) to clean the leaf surfaces regularly. Guidelines for the Conservation of Special Varieties: Temperature control of Phalaenopsis maintains the night temperature ≥15℃. Ventilation is required for 2 hours a day when using double insulation covers. The maintenance of transparent pots can determine the water demand by observing the color of the root system. Silver white is a signal of water shortage, and emerald green does not require watering. It is recommended to set up a special water storage bucket for green radish water temperature control, and the water temperature should be maintained at 18-22℃. In the northern region, 1-2 drops of rice vinegar can be added to adjust the pH value, and ceramsite pavements can be used to enhance thermal insulation. Comprehensive winter maintenance recommends that all plants be watered at 10-12 a.m. on sunny days, with preheated water of 25-30℃. Combined with a smart hygrometer for monitoring, a small amount of water should be replenished when the substrate humidity is below 30%. At extreme low temperatures, you can use a warm water bag basin to keep warm.
While mastering scientific watering methods, we also need to pay attention to light regulation and nutritional supplements. Regularly rotate flowerpots to ensure uniform light exposure, and use slow-release fertilizers can reduce the risk of fertilization in winter. Remember the winter maintenance principle of "better dry than wet" to let your flowers survive the winter safely and bloom in the new year.
