How to raise children and hold lotus flowers on the balcony
As a unique creeping variety among succulent plants, Zi Zhi Lianhua shows its unique charm in balcony maintenance. This rosette-shaped plant can form a spectacular group landscape by reasonably controlling light, moisture and temperature. Mastering its growth cycle characteristics and adjusting maintenance methods according to seasonal changes are the key to cultivating healthy lotus seeds. Light control plan for lotus blossoms in spring and autumn Full sunshine management from March to May and September to November are the rapid growth periods of lotus blossoms in the south. It is recommended to maintain direct sunlight for more than 6 hours a day. The south-facing balcony can meet the all-weather light needs, and in conjunction with rotating the flowerpot 180 degrees every week, it can promote the even growth of plants to avoid excessive growth. Summer sunshade tips When the temperature exceeds 32 ° C, a sunshade net needs to be used to filter 50% of the strong light, and it can be moved to the scattered light area during noon. In a continuous high temperature environment, it is recommended to lay white perlite on the surface of the basin soil to reflect heat and effectively reduce the root temperature by 3-5℃. The irrigation rhythm of the growth period of the lotus flower water control system is irrigated from late spring to early autumn. The "dipping basin method" is used to replenish water. The flowerpot is soaked in clear water with a water level of 2 cm for 15 minutes every 7-10 days. This method can not only ensure that the deep soil is moist, but also avoid rot caused by water in the leaf center. Water control during winter hibernation period From December to February of the following year, only 50ml of clear water needs to be poured along the edge of the basin every month, and operation is selected on sunny noon. Use a thermometer to monitor water temperature to ensure that the temperature difference between irrigation water and room temperature does not exceed 3 ° C. Zi Zhi Lianhua nutrition supply strategy applies meaty special liquid fertilizer diluted 2000 times every month during the growth period from April to June, focusing on supplementing phosphorus and potassium. When changing pots in September, 5% decomposed sheep manure can be mixed into the substrate as base fertilizer to continuously release nutrients for 3 months. The temperature management practice of Zi Holding Lotus Flower Maintaining above 8℃ in winter can ensure safe overwintering. The combination of double-layer insulation shed + heating mat can increase the balcony ambient temperature by 5-8℃. By installing a miniature circulation fan in summer, the temperature around the plant can be effectively reduced by 2-3℃.
Mastering the growth laws of lotus blossoms and carrying out targeted maintenance combined with the balcony microenvironment can not only promote the continuous germination of side buds to form a waterfall-like landscape, but also enhance the plant's stress resistance. Regularly observe leaf pluminess and growth speed, and adjust maintenance plans in time to harvest a vibrant balcony and fleshy landscape.
