What to do with the small lily after it blooms?
Xiaolias have become a favorite for gardening enthusiasts because of their colorful flowers, but many flower friends don't know how to maintain them after they wither. Reasonable post-flowering management can not only extend plant life, but also promote secondary flowering and keep the courtyard in full bloom. 1. Guidelines for the scientific maintenance of Xiaoli flowers after flowering 1. Precise pruning promotes the withering of multi-flowered flowers. Disinfection scissors should be used immediately to cut the residual flowers at a distance of 0.5cm away from the stem node. Special attention should be paid to completely cut off the entire pedicel, as the remaining pedicel may easily cause mold infection. At the same time, adjacent leaves were inspected and it was found that yellow leaves and sick leaves needed to be cleaned simultaneously. 2. Temperature-controlled maintenance environment After pruning, a constant temperature environment of 18-22℃ needs to be maintained, and the temperature difference between day and night should be controlled within 5℃. In winter, you can move it to the sun indoors, and in summer, you need to add a sunshade net to avoid direct light causing burns to wounds. 3. Intelligent water management adopts the "see dry, see wet" watering method, and wait until 2 cm of the surface soil is dry before watering thoroughly. It is recommended to use a long-spout pot to slowly inject water along the edge of the pot to prevent water from impacting the base of the plant. It can be used with hygrometer monitoring to keep the air humidity at about 60%. 4. Topdressing began 7 days after scientifically supplementing nutrients and pruning, and used slow-release fertilizer with a ratio of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium of 1:2:1. When applying water-soluble fertilizer every 15 days, it is recommended to control the concentration at 0.1%-0.2%, combined with foliar spraying of potassium dihydrogen phosphate solution (diluted 1000 times). 2. Advanced tutorial on professional pruning 1. Modeling and pruning techniques For perennial plants, the "three-cutting method" can be used: one to cut the residual flowers, two to cut the weak branches, and three to cut the crossing branches. Keep 4-5 main branches, and leave 2-3 bud points for each main branch to form an umbrella-shaped structure for better ventilation and lighting. 2. Tool disinfection specifications Use 75% alcohol to wipe the tools before pruning, and re-disinfect them after every 3-5 strains are pruned. For plants infected with diseases, the incision should be smeared with plant ash immediately after pruning to prevent the invasion of bacteria.
Through systematic post-flowering maintenance, Xiaolias can not only quickly restore vitality, but also usher in a more vigorous secondary flowering period after 30-45 days. It is recommended to conduct monthly plant health inspections and adjust the maintenance plan in a timely manner so that this beauty can bloom for a long time.
