How to raise water hyacinth to bloom
The core guide of this article: How to raise Eichhornia crassipes to bloom and the introduction of green plants and flowers of Eichhornia crassipes cultivation methods, let's follow the editor to have a look!
Eichhornia crassipes belongs to the perennial herb of the genus Eichhornia in the family Eichhornia, and is also known as water hyacinth, narcissus, hyacinth and other names. The stem of Eichhornia crassipes is extremely short, the flower is light blue, in the shape of a multi-faceted trumpet, and the petals above are large; there is an obvious bright yellow spot in the center of the petal, which is shaped like a phoenix's eye and also like the flower dot at the end of a peacock's feather. It is very eye-catching and beautiful. It is often used as a landscaping material in garden waterfeatures. Flowering period is from August to September, with large flowers and yellow flowers varieties. Domestic water hyacinth is mainly cultivated in small ponds and pots. After blooming, the flowers are light blue and white, which is very beautiful.
Eichhornia crassipes is native to Brazil. It is widely distributed in the Yangtze River, Yellow River basins and southern China provinces in China. Eichhornia crassipes likes a warm, humid, sunny environment and is very adaptable. The suitable water temperature is 18-23°C, and it can grow above 35°C. Growth stops when the temperature is below 10°C; it has certain cold resistance. I like to be born in shallow water, grow in water with low flow rates, and drift with the water. Reproductive quickly. After flowering, the flower stems bend into the water to grow, and the ovary develops and expands in the water. Water hyacinth is afraid of cold. If the water temperature is below 7 ° C, it will easily freeze to death. If it is above 13 ° C, it will grow rapidly, and if it is above 43 ° C, a large number of deaths will occur. Water hyacinth likes light and is afraid of shade. They prefer dampness and fear boredom, and prefer fertilizers and fear alkaline fertilizers. Therefore, it is best to use decomposed human and animal manure urine, manure and sewage for stocking.
1. Breeding method of Eichhornia crassipes: The breeding methods of Eichhornia crassipes include seed propagation and individual propagation. Family cultivation generally uses rhizome propagation.
1. Seed reproduction: From September to October, when the fruit of Eichhornia crassipes is pale yellow, pick off the curved fruiting pedicels, air dry after harvesting, and remove the seeds. In spring, from late February to early March, seeds are soaked in water at 25-30℃ for 10 days, and then sown on the water. The well is maintained at a temperature and humidity of about 30 ℃, and can germinate after 7 days. When the seedlings have grown 5-6 leaves, the leaf spikes begin to grow large and have a certain buoyancy. The seedlings can be transplanted after branching.
2. Individual propagation: Eichhornia crassipes has many axillary buds and can develop into new plants. The stolons are long, tender and fragile and easy to break. After breaking, they will also become independent new plants, with strong asexual reproduction ability. Generally in spring, the mother plant cluster stored indoors is separated or the small axillary buds with roots are cut off and put into water to form a new plant, which is easy to survive.
2. Eichhornia crassipes pond stocking: Generally, ornamental water hyacinth is stocked in small ponds in the courtyard. When the water temperature in the pond reaches about 18℃, the seedlings can be placed into the pond on sunny days when there is no wind. When starting stocking, the depth of the pond water should be about 1 meter, and about 150 kilograms of water hyacinth seedlings should be stocked per mu.
When stocking, you should choose a water surface that avoids the wind and the sun, and find ways to enclose the seedlings to prevent the water hyacinth from drifting away. Wait until the seedling reproduction density increases, and then gradually expand the scope.
After Eichhornia crassipes breeds, it must be evacuated, divided into ponds or collected in time. Eichhornia crassipes grows very rapidly. At the fastest time, it can reproduce 12-13 plants in a month. Under suitable water and fertilizer conditions, sometimes four plants can be separated from one plant day and night.
3. Keeping water basins: Household water lily is usually raised in water basins. 1. Preparation of basin soil: Household cultivation of Eichhorns usually uses potted plants. Potting plants must first prepare cultivation soil. Preparing cultivation soil is quite important. flowerpots are a special small environment. No matter which kind of soil is used alone, it cannot meet the needs of Eichhorns for all aspects of soil. Therefore, potted Eichhorns must be artificially prepared and cultivated soil to replace soil to fix the flowers in the flowerpot, and must have certain water retention and drainage properties. Eichhorns like fertile and humid soil. Potted plants can be used to make culture soil with 15% legus soil, 20% river sand, 20% vermiculite, and 45% pond mud. After preparing the culture soil, it is best to disinfect it at high temperature (stir-fry it in an iron pan) and use it, or it can be exposed to the sun to sterilize it.
2. Pooling: Usually stocking in March in spring, first put broken tiles at the bottom of the pot, then put some decomposed cake fertilizer, crushed bones, fish bones, chicken feathers and other basic fertilizers, then fill in 5-10 cm of culture soil, add clear water, use flowerpots without drainage holes for hydroponic containers, moderate depth, and pay attention to the amount of water. Before stocking, cut off the long lateral roots, injured roots and excess fibrous roots of Eichhornia crassipes and trim them slightly. Then place it in the basin. After cultivation, maintain it in a shaded environment for about a week, and wait for the roots to recover and move it to a sunny place for maintenance.
3. Fertilization management: Water hyacinth requires more fertilizer. During the vigorous growth season, fertilization is usually carried out every half a month, and fertilization is best carried out in the evening.
4. Change water: After planting, change the water about every 7-10 days. If yellow leaves are found during water change, they should be removed in time.
5. Pruning: Be sure to pay attention to pruning Eichhornia crassipes once in the spring. You can cut off the withered branches and leaves or cut off the flooded leaves, which will help the better growth of Eichhornia crassipes.
6. Control light: Eichhornia crassipes is a plant with short-term sunshine. It grows fastest when strong light shines in a normal growth environment. When farming in the family, in order to control the crazy growth of Eichhornia crassipes plants, appropriate amount of light can be controlled.
7. Overwintering: Overwintering in cold places is generally to preserve seedlings in an indoor pool. The water temperature in the pool must be maintained at 15-20 ° C. The air and sunshine must always be kept fresh in the greenhouse. Water hyacinth moves into the greenhouse pool before the frost falls. The water hyacinth that is to be planted should be moved to a pool separately during the autumnal equinox to keep the plants sparse and let them stay out of the group. The large leaves gradually shrink and rot, and the number of small water hyacinth increases. These small water hyacinth are used as seedlings for storage. Pay attention to fertilization during seedling protection. It is best to use decomposed human and animal manure and urine diluted at a concentration of 1:20. When fertilizing, first gently push the seedlings away and expose them to the water, and then apply the fertilizer into the water. You cannot directly splash it on the seedlings.
