How to grow medal chrysanthemum
Today, we will introduce the experience of how to plant medal chrysanthemum and the time and method of planting medal chrysanthemum. Let's follow the editor to see the specific content!
Small editors all like to grow flowers and engage in related breeding work, but even if they all like flowers, the family still has their own aesthetics. My mother and I both prefer flowers with simple, elegant colors, romantic and elegant colors, while my father only loves all kinds of chrysanthemums. In fact, many chrysanthemums have been raised in my family over the years, but Xiao Bian didn't seem to introduce much, so today I'm here to introduce my father's favorite Compositae flower-medal chrysanthemum! Introduction: The medal chrysanthemum is a perennial herb flower in the Compositae family. It originates from southern Africa. Because its flowers bloom and close as the sun rises and sets, it is also called the African sunflower. The back of its leaves is covered with white fluff, and there are many varieties and beautiful in color. There are dozens of colors in monochrome and two-color systems. The flower center is often accompanied by colorful markings, especially like a medal pinned on the chest, so it is named Medal Chrysanthemum. Generally, the flowering period is from April to October, but in warm areas such as Fujian, it can bloom all year round, and each medal chrysanthemum can bloom continuously for about 7 days. The flowers "fade and grow" and continue to bloom. Growth habits: Medal chrysanthemums like to grow warm and sunny. They are as adaptable as sunflowers. They are very suitable for novices to plant. They can live when they are basically planted. They can also generate flowers with seedlings that coexist with beauty and strength. It is also resistant to drought, heat, and salt-alkali. Planting it is extremely worry-free, and its cold resistance is also good. Frostbite will not occur in a 0-degree environment for a short period of time. Although it is most suitable for growing in an environment of 15-25 degrees, it can also withstand high temperatures above 35 degrees in summer.
The medal chrysanthemum has a long flowering period. With a little sunshine, the flowers will bloom brightly and continue to bloom all year round. It can also grow seedlings by itself. You don't have to worry about breeding. It is very suitable for novices or lazy people to plant. So here is a formal introduction to how to cultivate it: 1. The planting method of medal chrysanthemum: 1. Selecting medal chrysanthemum is simple to sow, and the seeds can generally be purchased. Xiaobian recommends that you choose imported coated seeds for a higher germination rate, because the surface is coated with medicine and there is no need to accelerate germination, which saves you trouble planting. Generally, the sowing season is in summer, spring and autumn, but sowing can be carried out in warm areas where the temperature is stable at around 18 degrees, and there is no need to distinguish seasons. How to plant medal chrysanthemum 2. Sowing and sowing can be done using a seedling tray or directly using a large flower pot for direct broadcasting, and then transplanting the seedlings later. However, it is generally difficult to sow evenly in large flower pots for live broadcasting, which will lead to some seedlings growing too densely and inevenly. Therefore, the small editor of green plant maze has always used seedling trays to sow seeds. If there is no seedling tray, you can also use a checker-shaped plastic box instead. Fill the holes with a mixture of loose and fertile peat soil and perlite, and then spray the wet substrate to make the soil sink and tighten. Why is it recommended to spray wet instead of watering it? Because the holes in the seedling tray are very small, accidentally causing too much watering, the substrate is too moist, and the seeds behind will easily grow long.
After the substrate is processed, the seeds can be placed in the holes, and then the surface can be covered with a layer of vermiculite, with a thickness of about 0.5 cm. After spraying the vermiculite on the surface, the surface can be covered and placed in a cool and ventilated place to sprout. If you do not have a seedling tray and choose to live broadcast, the soil will be the same in front, but it is best not to sow when sowing. You can sow the seeds with a distance of no less than the diameter of 3 seeds, and then cover the surface with about 0.8 cm of soil. Finally, use a fine shower to drain through the soil matrix, cover it with a film, and germinate in about two weeks. 3. Post-sowing Management After completing the above sowing, place the seedling tray in a cool and ventilated place to avoid direct sunlight. It is best to keep the ambient temperature stable between 18-20 degrees, and keep the substrate moist during this period. Wait until the sprouts emerge, you can remove the surface film or cover, and then move it to a brightly lit place to expose the scattered light for 1-3 hours a day, and spray moisture every day instead of watering. It is not suitable for the soil at this time. Too moist, otherwise the seedlings will easily collapse and die early. It is also necessary to control the ambient temperature not to exceed 25 degrees.
After the leaves grow, it is necessary to increase the direct light time. The medal chrysanthemum is a kind of flower that grows in the sun, so it can be directly exposed to the sun. 4. Transplant and fake planting can be carried out according to the above method until the seedlings grow 2-3 pairs of leaves. Because most of the fake planting flower lovers use fake planting pots that can be reused, it is recommended to use a fungicide to soak the flower pot to kill the flower pot. The soil substrate can be a mixed substrate of 3 parts of humus soil, 1 part of perlite and 1 part of slow-release fertilizer. After mixing, it is best to mix pesticides into the soil.
After processing according to the above method, the substrate can be filled into the fake planting pot, then the seedlings are picked up and transplanted with the soil, and finally poured with 800 times carbendazim solution to disinfect the soil and fix the roots. It is recommended to use a small flower pot with a diameter of 10-12 cm for the size of the flower pot. We have always advocated that small seedlings be placed in small flower pots, which will help the pot soil to dry in time and will not remold the roots.
The transplanted medal chrysanthemum should be placed in a cool and ventilated place to slow down for a few days. Don't bask in the sun for the time being. Wait until the roots are stable and put in the basin before moving to a place with sufficient light for maintenance.
