How to raise Lingxiao flowers
As one of the three treasures of traditional China courtyards, bluegrass is very popular for its climbing characteristics and gorgeous flower appearance. This perennial vine is suitable for garden landscaping and potted viewing. Mastering scientific maintenance methods can make it bloom year after year, forming a spectacular vertical flower waterfall. Light management: Photosynthesis energy station Skycrown flower is a typical positive plant. It needs to ensure 6 hours of direct light in spring and autumn, and appropriate shade at noon in summer to prevent leaf burns. Light still needs to be maintained for 4 hours during the winter hibernation period, and fill light can be used to assist in northern areas. Insufficient light can cause branches to grow and flowers to decrease sharply. Moisture control: The secret of dry and wet cycle adopts the "see the dry and wet" watering method, which is watered thoroughly once every three days in spring and autumn, and once in the morning and evening in summer. Determine the humidity by tapping on the wall of the basin: the crisp sound requires replenishment, and the dull sound is suspended. Drainage ditches need to be dug during the rainy season to prevent stagnant water and rot at the roots. Nutrient supply: The power source for growth and flowering is applied with balanced fertilizers of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium during the germination period in March, and high-phosphate fertilizers are used to promote flower bud differentiation from April to June. It is recommended to use an organic combination of decomposed sheep manure (base fertilizer)+ bone meal (flowering fertilizer), combined with 0.1% potassium dihydrogen phosphate foliar fertilizer, which can increase the number of flowers by 30%. Soil configuration: The optimal ratio of root growth foundation is humus soil: coarse sand: garden soil =5:3:2, and 10% pine phosphorus is added every two years to improve the structure. The pH value is controlled between 6.0 and 7.5, and the pH value can be adjusted by adding sulfur powder or lime. Three major rattan climbing skills for smallpox flower modeling 1. Traction sizing method: When the new branches are 30cm long in spring, fix them on the bracket with an 8-figure knot with hemp rope, and set fixing points every 20cm. Rotating cold-ligation: Wrap the main vine clockwise around the column, reserve 3-5 bud points on the lateral branches and cut off 3. Flower wall construction technique: Pull the barbed wire horizontally, set a grid at a distance of 15cm, guide the branches to climb naturally and coordinate with regular pruning (cutting off residual flower branches after flowering, thinning dense branches in winter), so that the plants can form a regular umbrella-shaped or screen-shaped shape. Be careful to avoid contact with painted walls, as air roots may corrode the coating.
Through scientific maintenance management and modeling guidance, the bluegrass can not only achieve rapid climbing rattan coverage, but also form a shocking landscape with "orange red on the wall reflecting the sun." It is recommended to take growth records every spring to observe the adaptation of the plants and adjust the maintenance plan in a timely manner.
