How does the flower bloom
The other shore flower is famous for its unique inverted umbrella-shaped flowers and the fact that the flowers and leaves do not meet each other. The bright red inflorescences that bloom every year at the turn of summer and autumn can always attract countless attention. To make this "hell flower" bloom as scheduled, we need to accurately grasp the coordinated control of light, temperature, water and fertilizer. This article will systematically analyze the complete maintenance process from flower bud differentiation to post-flowering rejuvenation. Four elements of flower promotion 1. The light cycle regulates a typical short-day plant in the genus Haliana, and requires 4 hours of scattered light every day. In late spring and early summer, direct light should be irradiated during the morning and dusk periods (8-10 o'clock/16-18 o'clock). When the scape reaches 15cm, it should be transferred to the shade of trees for maintenance. In northern areas, attention should be paid to avoid burning bulbs with strong noon light. It is recommended to use 75% sunshade net for protection. 2. Temperature difference stimulation technique The temperature difference between day and night of 18-26℃ can significantly promote flower bud differentiation. The southern region can take advantage of natural temperature differences, while the north requires manual regulation: it is placed on a south-facing balcony during the day and moved to a north-facing room with a temperature of about 15℃ at night. Temperature difference stimulation lasting for 15 days can increase the flower bud formation rate by 40%. 3. The precise water control plan adopts the "three dry and one wet" watering method: when the dry depth of the topsoil reaches 3 cm, the water is poured through until the bottom of the basin seeps. During the flower bud differentiation period, the substrate moisture content is maintained at 35%-40%(which can be monitored by a soil hygrometer). After this state lasts for 20 days, routine watering can be resumed, which can induce more than 80% of the plants to appear buds. 4. Nutrient supply strategy How does the flower bloom
Apply high-phosphorus water-soluble fertilizer (N-P-K=10-30-20) 30 days before flowering, once every 10 days for a total of 3 times. It is recommended to alternate foliar spraying (concentration of 0.1%) and root irrigation (concentration of 0.05%), combined with hole application of decomposed bone powder (5g per plant), which can increase the number of flowers per branch by 2-3. The whole process of rejuvenation after flowering 1. When pruning residual flowers, cut off the scapes 48 hours after the flowers wilting and retain 5 cm of the base to prevent bleeding. Apply charcoal powder to the scissors to prevent bacteria, remove the lower yellow leaves of the plant, and retain the top 3-4 functional leaves for photosynthesis. 2. Key points for bulb maintenance are to stop applying phosphorus and potassium fertilizers and switch to applying calcium-containing compound fertilizers (N-P-K-Ca=15 - 15-5) once a month. Keep the pH of the substrate at 6.0-6.5 and loosen the soil regularly to increase air permeability. The Yangtze River Basin needs to pilling before the frost falls, soak it in carbendazim and store it in the sand for the winter. 3. The ramet breeding node needs to be ramet renewed every 3 years: select a mother ball with a circumference of ≥15cm, and retain 1/3 of the base tissue when separating the balls. After the wound is dried for 24 hours, it is soaked in 1000 times indole butyric acid for 30 minutes, which can increase the survival rate of the new balls by 95%.
By scientifically controlling environmental factors and accurately implementing maintenance measures, the other shore flowers can be restored every year. It is recommended to establish a maintenance log to record key data such as temperature, light, water and fertilizer, and gradually form a personalized cultivation system. Mastering these core skills will surely allow this mysterious flower to bloom year after year.
