How to make geraniums burst into pots
As the queen of the window sill, geraniums conquer countless flower friends with their gorgeous flower balls. However, if you want to achieve the grand scene of exploding basins, you need to master key skills, and the problem of excessive length is a common problem in the maintenance process. This article will use a systematic solution to help you unlock the geranium-popping password. Light control strategy for three elements of geraniums bursting pots geraniums are a typical positive flower. They need to maintain 6-8 hours of full sunshine per day in spring and autumn. In summer, the morning and dusk light method is used: receive direct light before 10 a.m. and after 4 p.m., and use sunshade nets to prevent leaf burns. In winter, it is recommended to maintain the south-facing balcony under full sunshine, and appropriate supplementary light in low temperature environments can extend the flowering period. Scientific water management adopts the dual mode of "dipping basin + spraying" irrigation: dipping the basin for 10 minutes every 5 days in spring and autumn, and spraying water on the leaves to maintain humidity. In winter, it is changed to a single pouring at noon, and in summer, fans are used to enhance ventilation. Key skills: Observe that the bottom blades are slightly soft, which is the best time to replenish water. Three fertilizers are alternately used during the growth period of precise nutrition supply: decomposed sheep manure (20 grams every half month), potassium dihydrogen phosphate (sprayed 1:1000 weekly), and microbial inoculants (irrigated roots every month). Add seaweed fertilizer to improve the tightness of the flower balls during the budding period, and replenish slow-release fertilizer in time after blooming to restore vitality. Comprehensive solution to the problem of excessive growth. Three methods for diagnosis of excessive growth. When the stem node exceeds 3 cm, it is the early stage of excessive growth, which is accompanied by an increase in the spacing between leaves and a thin and weak stem. The type with insufficient light shows excessive length bending towards the light, the type with excessive nitrogen fertilizer shows large and tender green leaves, and the type with abnormal temperature mostly occurs in environments above 25℃. The emergency remedial measures were immediately carried out in three steps: ① Re-cut and retain the base 3 sections; ② Change to red jade soil to control the roots; ③ Add a fill light and irradiate it for 4 hours a day. Combined with B9 growth inhibitor (sprayed with 50ppm solution), compact plant types can be quickly restored. Preventive maintenance plans establish maintenance logs to record environmental parameters, and use smart flowerpots to monitor temperature and humidity. Maintain a temperature difference of 10-15℃ in spring and autumn to stimulate, and regularly rotate the flowerpot to ensure uniform light reception. It is recommended to use dwarf varieties (such as Royal White Star) to reduce the probability of excessive growth.
By accurately controlling the four major elements of light, warm water, fertilizer, and regular pruning and shaping, every flower friend can harvest geraniums. When the plant shows signs of excessive growth, as long as the intervention measures in this paper are taken in time, the ideal plant type can be reshaped within 30 days. During the maintenance process, it is recommended to take growth comparison charts every month to gradually master the growth code of geraniums.
