Light, watering, fertilization, temperature pruning, pest and disease prevention and control of tube-leaf flower moon, the scientific name of Strepinia regnanica, is named for its unique tubular flower shape. It is a popular indoor ornamental plant in recent years. As the summer temperature rises, the cultivation of tube-leaf flower moon is also facing certain challenges. This article will introduce in detail the breeding methods of tube-leaf flower moon in summer to help you easily raise this beautiful flower. Light tube leaves and flowers like to scatter light. In summer, the sun is strong, so direct light should be avoided. The plants can be placed in a semi-shaded environment, such as balconies, window sills, etc. If there is insufficient light, the plants will grow slowly and affect flowering. The temperature for watering is high in summer, and the water requirement for tube leaves and flowers is large. When watering, the soil should be kept moist, but water should not be accumulated. Watering in the morning or evening to avoid watering at high temperatures at noon to prevent the leaves from sunburn. After watering, timely ventilation and reduce air humidity. Fertilization in summer is the period of vigorous growth of the tube leaves and flower months, and appropriate fertilization is needed. Compound fertilizers or flower fertilizers can be used once a month. After fertilization, the soil should be kept moist to facilitate the plants to absorb nutrients. The temperature is warm. The temperature in summer should be controlled between 25℃ and 35 ℃. If the temperature is too high, appropriate measures such as shading and ventilation can be taken to lower the room temperature. When the temperature in winter is lower than 10℃, the plants should be moved into indoor maintenance. Pruning summer is the peak season for pruning of tube leaves and flower months. Timely pruning can promote plant growth and improve ornamental value. During pruning, withered leaves and sick branches should be cut off to keep healthy branches. After pruning, appropriate rooting agents can be applied to promote new branches grow. Pest and insect pest control Summer is a period of high incidence of pests and diseases in the tubular leaf flower month. Attention should be paid to observing the growth status of plants, discovering and controlling them in a timely manner. Common pests and diseases include aphids, red spiders, powdery mildew, etc. Pesticides can be used to control them, while keeping the plants ventilated and clean., reduce the probability of occurrence of pests and diseases.
The cultivation method of tube-leaf flower moon in summer requires attention to aspects such as lighting, watering, fertilization, temperature, pruning and pest and disease control. By mastering these skills, I believe you will be able to raise this beautiful flower well. Let us welcome the summer together and enjoy the tube-leaf flower moon bloom!
