Cultivation methods and matters needing attention for Begonia japonica
As a star plant that can observe leaves and flowers, Begonias are favored by gardening enthusiasts for their unique branch shape and elegant flower shape. Its maintenance process needs to combine the characteristics of the original environment and achieve healthy growth through precise control of temperature, light, water and soil. It is recommended to use a mixed system of humus soil: peat soil: perlite =3:2:1 for environmental element system management substrate and temperature and humidity balance cultivation substrate, and the pH value is controlled between 5.5 and 6.5. Maintain the daily temperature of 20-25℃ in spring and autumn, matched with 60% air humidity; use a double sunshade net to filter strong light in summer, and spray in the morning and evening to maintain the humidity of the small environment. During the dynamic regulation of water and fertilizer growth period, the "see dry and see wet" watering method is implemented. When watering once every morning and evening in summer, it is necessary to ensure that there is no stagnant water on the bottom of the basin. Phosphorus and potassium liquid fertilizer diluted 2000 times is added every half of the month, and boron element foliar fertilizer is added during the flower bud differentiation period. During the winter hibernation period, the immersion basin method is used to replenish water, and the water temperature needs to be consistent with the room temperature. Breeding and modeling techniques For advanced cuttage operations, select semi-lignified branches to be chamfered 45 degrees, retain 2 bud points and cut off 1/2 of the leaf surface. The incision was dipped in indolebutyric acid rooting powder and then inserted into a vermiculite matrix, covered with a transparent cover to maintain 90% humidity. Three weeks later, when the new roots reach 5 cm, they can be transplanted, and combined with picking to promote the germination of lateral branches. Artistic modeling essentials: breeding methods and matters needing attention for bamboo begonia
Taking advantage of the characteristics of bamboo-like stems, the elegant shape is created by coiling aluminum wires. During the growth period, rotate the flowerpot 180 degrees every 15 days to ensure balanced light reception, and use retraction pruning to control the plant height of long branches. Retaining more than 3 aerial roots during rafting can increase the survival rate to 95%. Ecological conservation strategy Comprehensive disease prevention and control For root rot, Bacillus subtilis is used to irrigate roots, and garlic extract is sprayed in the early stage of leaf spot disease. In terms of physical control, hanging yellow sticky insect boards can control thrips, and regularly washing leaf backs to prevent red spiders. Add potassium silicate before stopping fertilizer in winter to enhance stress resistance. The flowering period extension plan is to cut off the remaining flowers in time after the flowers fade and apply seaweed fertilizer. Combined with blue and violet light fill light, the flowering period can be extended to 120 days. Plants cultivated in exposed areas need to be built to avoid stagnant water, and antifreeze should be sprayed before the cold current comes. Two-year-old plants can stimulate new flowering branches by girdling the main trunk.
Through systematic environmental control and refined maintenance and management, Begonias can maintain their ornamental value throughout the year. It is recommended to establish a maintenance log to record changes in temperature and humidity, and combine it with plant feedback and dynamic adjustment plans to make this breathing work of art bloom with unique charm.
