How to raise it after good luck blooms
As a representative variety of ornamental plants in the pineapple family, Hongyuntou is very popular for its fiery red inflorescences and ultra-long flowering periods. However, the fact that a single plant only blooms once often makes flower friends at a loss after the flowers die. Mastering scientific post-flowering management techniques can allow plants to extend life through division and achieve sustainable ornamental value. Good luck is the first to accurately identify the timing of rationing during the entire process of rationing. When the inflorescences are completely withered (about 5-6 months after flowering), use disinfection scissors to cut the flower stems flat to the base. After removing the pot, clean up the soil attached to the root system, and you can see 3-5 leaf buds germinating at the base of the mother plant, which is a mature daughter plant that can be divided into plants. Practice for ramet operation. Wear gardening gloves to hold the mother plant, and use a sharp grafting knife to cut obliquely at 45° along the junction of the daughter plant and the mother plant. Ensure that each plant retains more than 3 aerial roots, and apply carbendazim powder to the incision to prevent infection. The scientific ratio of the management substrate of Hongyuntou Cultivation System adopts a mixed substrate of peat soil: pine scale: perlite =5:3:2, and the pH value is controlled at 5.5-6.5. When planting, lay a 3cm ceramsite drainage layer on the bottom of the basin to avoid stagnant water and rotten roots. The technical points of planting are to control the planting depth of subplants to 1 cm at the base of the false bulb, use rainwater or purified water at 25℃ for root fixing water, and maintain the micro-moisture state of the substrate after the first irrigation. The three-dimensional humidity management of the Hongyuntou environmental control system stabilizes the air humidity at 75%-85% through a combination of "ground water pan evaporation + morning and evening leaf spray + humidifier regulation." Pay attention to avoid water droplets accumulating in the leaf core and causing rot. Precise light temperature control sets scattered light of 20,000 - 25,000 Lux, and use a sunshade net to adjust strong light. Maintain the temperature difference between day and night at 5-8℃ (22-25℃ during the day/17-20℃ at night), and use heating pads to maintain the ground temperature in winter. Nutritional cycle The balanced fertilizer of 20-20-20 -20-20 (1500 times solution) was applied 30 days after the ramets were supplied, and calcium and magnesium trace elements were supplemented every half month. High-phosphorus potassium fertilizer was used to promote inflorescence development during the budding period.
Through systematic plant breeding and scientific maintenance, we can not only continue the vitality of good fortune, but also cultivate more strong new plants. It is recommended to replace the substrate every 2 years and combine it with ramets to achieve continuous viewing, so that this fiery good luck can last for a long time.
