Which key links should be grasped in the care of cyclamen
Plant knowledge section, sharing with you the introduction of bulbous flowers cyclamen, which key links should be grasped in the care of cyclamen, the following together to understand.
Cyclamen is also known as radish begonia. The flower shape is unique, the flower color is rich, and the flowering period is long. Good cyclamen care needs to pay attention to soil, summer care, watering, fertilizing and pest control and other aspects.
(1) Cyclamen prefers well-drained, loose and humus-rich sandy loam. Avoid heavy and alkaline soil. Pot culture should use 4 parts of decomposed leaf soil or peat soil, garden soil, 1 part of manure soil, and sand soil mixed, and a small amount of bone meal is placed at the bottom of the pot as a base fertilizer. The planting depth of young seedlings should be slightly exposed on the soil surface, the top of the mature seedlings exposed on the soil surface is about 1/3, and the old corms are exposed on the soil surface 1/2 is appropriate.
(2) It likes light but fears heat. Sufficient light is beneficial to its growth and development, but it is afraid of direct sunlight in summer. When the temperature exceeds 30℃ in summer, it enters a dormant state. If the maintenance is improper at this time, the corms are prone to rot, so measures should be taken to shade and cool down.
(3) It prefers humidity but fears waterlogging. During the growth and development period, watering should be "dry and wet", keeping the pot soil moist. Generally, water once every 1 to 2 days. If watered too much, the corms are prone to rot, especially in the early stage of potting, pay attention to less watering to prevent rotting balls. However, too little watering will cause the leaves to wilt.
(4) Avoid applying thick fertilizers and raw fertilizers. Otherwise, it is easy to "burn the roots", and it is advisable to apply thin fertilizers frequently. Generally, apply once every 10 days during the growing period. Fertilization is suspended in summer, and after September, when growth gradually becomes vigorous, water once every morning and apply a thin and ripe soybean cake water once every 10 days; after October, apply more phosphorus fertilizer appropriately to promote bud differentiation. When applying liquid fertilizer, do not splash on the top bud to avoid rot and also avoid soiling the leaves, otherwise it is also easy to cause rot. During flowering, fertilization should be suspended, and watering should not be too much or too little, otherwise it is easy to cause bud drop or early withering of the flowers.
(5) It is relatively cold-tolerant. After moving into the room in mid-October in the north, place it near the window sill with sufficient sunlight, and keep the room temperature above 15℃. If the indoor light is insufficient and the temperature is below 10℃, the bud differentiation is inhibited, resulting in small and few flowers, and the flowering period will also be postponed.
The above is [] about the key links that should be grasped in the care of cyclamen, hoping to be helpful to you!
