Gypsy Baby's Breath Planting Method
Let's talk about the related contents of Gypsy Baby's Breath in family flower cultivation, the planting method of Gypsy Baby's Breath. Next, the editor will introduce it.
The planting method of Gypsy Baby's Breath we mentioned is actually the Gypsy version of Baby's Breath. Generally, seeds are bought and then sown because Gypsy Baby's Breath is a hanging plant, so it easily blooms into a flower ball. Let's get to know the planting method of Gypsy Baby's Breath.
First, let's understand some habit parameters of Gypsy Baby's Breath:
Average plant height: about 20 centimeters; plant form: hanging; difficulty of cultivation: easy; germination light conditions: need light; germination days: about 10 days; germination temperature: around 20 degrees Celsius; maintenance environment: full light; sowing period: spring and autumn.
Let's take a look at the planting method of Gypsy Baby's Breath by the flower friend (Deep Blue Deep Purple Bean Bean) from the "Treading on Flowers" community:
Planting environment: enclosed south-facing balcony (located in the central plains, with heating indoors, the temperature on the balcony during the day in winter is over 20 degrees, and about 5 degrees at night).
Planting variety: Baby's Breath - Gypsy.
Planting medium: seedling blocks, peat soil + perlite (mixed with Ogreen slow-release fertilizer, usually prosperous, and flowering water-soluble fertilizer).
Planting date: sown on September 1, 2015, began to bloom in late January (actually, it blooms while growing, and there are flower buds when the seedlings are in the middle stage, continuously topped without letting it bloom).
Planting experience: I used seedling blocks and felt they were very useful. Before germination, I placed them in a dimly lit area to wait for the seeds to germinate. After germination, I moved them to the sun to bask, and transplanted them when the roots extended out of the seedling blocks. Since space is limited, I didn't want to use a large pot, so I planted directly. Do not water excessively during the seedling stage. As winter approaches, there are many days of smog, overcast days, and heavy snow, and it's rare to see a few days of sunshine. In November, there were only three or four sunny days, and the rest were smoggy. The potted flowers are indoors, where the water does not evaporate well. Keep it slightly dry and not wet, or it's easy to rot the roots and affect the growth of the seedlings. To make the flowers bloom profusely, topping is very important. This task is ongoing. Whenever I see a part that has grown too long, I topping it decisively to encourage more branching and more flowers. However, Gypsy has a good branching ability. In the later stage, as I saw continuous flower buds, I stopped topping, and it grew into a ball shape by itself, which is very worth planting.
The following picture shows the plant already transplanted into an 18CM pot. Since the pot is not large, there was no intermediate transplanting, and it was planted directly. Practice has proven that it does not affect growth. If planting in a 20CM pot, it is best to first plant it in a 10CM two-color pot to allow the roots to grow stronger.
When it grows to the size in the following picture, the first round of topping begins, which continues until flowering. Whenever a part grows too long and the branching exceeds two pairs of leaves, it is topped decisively, and the branching will increase.
The following picture shows the seedlings stage.
By this time in the following picture, the plant form has become increasingly full, with flower buds growing continuously, and topping continues!
The small flowers are beginning to bloom, with dense flower buds that fill one with hope. At this point, topping is no longer done to allow flowering, and it will bloom more and grow rounder.
The following picture shows a flower ball formed, taking six months from seed to flower ball.
The detailed explanation of the Gypsy Baby's Breath planting method mentioned above hopes to provide you with some help in green plant management!
