September Courtyard Potted Flower Management
Plant management tips, introduction to the knowledge of family flower cultivation, September courtyard potted flower management, let's learn about it together.
1. Watering:
In September, with strong sunlight, high temperature, and relatively dry air, the watering management of potted flowers should not be neglected. For general moisture-loving ornamental plants, water or spray once in the morning and afternoon in the first half of the month, and change to watering once in the second half of the month, and spray water on the leaves appropriately. For most potted flowers and盆景, water once a day, supplemented by leaf spraying. The watering time is before 10 am and after 3 pm. For ornamental plants that prefer acidic environments, a small amount of 0.1% light green ferrous sulfate powder can be added to the irrigation water. For summer dormant or semi-dormant flowering plants that resume growth in autumn, the amount and frequency of watering (or spraying) can be gradually increased. When watering potted plants, the soil should be loosened once every half month.
2. Fertilizing:
In September, it is the period of vigorous growth for most flowers. Some flowers that are dormant or semi-dormant in summer also begin to grow as the temperature gradually cools. This month should pay close attention to fertilization management.
For foliar plants such as Monstera deliciosa, rubber tree,发财树,巴西木,春羽,棕竹,华灰莉木, cinnamon, money tree (Dragon Phoenix wood), nanyang cedar, fish tail palm, green萝, red (green) jade, green emperor, silver queen, cyperus,合果芋, Ficus lyrata, etc., still use low-concentration diluted fertilizer solutions, such as 0.3% urea solution.
For long-flowering or autumn blooming trees and shrubs such as roses, MEIMEI, butterfly bush, pomegranate, crape myrtle,米兰, white orchid, jasmine, osmanthus, day lily,桂花, etc., ornamental fruit plants such as kumquat, nandina, cinnamomum, firethorn, quince, golden bullet, purple珠, fruit石榴, etc., and colorful leaf plants such as croton, splash corydalis, pineapple, Ficus benjamina, golden edge Brazilian wood, cordyline, colorful leaf grass, etc., should be top-dressed with a balanced fertilizer of nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium. For recovering plants such as begonia, geranium, calathea, cyclamen, bedding begonia, daphne,Disocactus, Crassula, Portulaca, purple triangle Oxalis, clivia, Hippeastrum, etc., can resume applying low-concentration liquid fertilizer; for flowers that have completed bud differentiation and entered the stage of bud expansion, such as camellia, camellia, wintersweet, plum, Michelia, azalea, etc., can be top-dressed with low-concentration balanced fertilizers; for potted bedding plants such as scarlet sage, marigold, chrysanthemum, celosia, dahlia, mini sunflower, etc., apply a thin fertilizer every 10 days to meet their needs for bud formation and next month's flowering.
3. Shading:
In September, with high temperatures and strong sunshine, the shading management of courtyard potted flowers cannot be relaxed.
For those cool-loving foliar plants such as Monstera deliciosa, rubber tree, nephrolepis, Boston fern, bird's nest fern, colocasia, calathea, green萝, bamboo, green emperor, silver queen, orchid, pink primerose,金山葵, Aspidistra elatior, begonia, elephant ear, baby angel, red (green) jade, crystal花烛, black leaf观音莲,网纹草, red vein爵床, asparagus, schefflera, Asplenium nidus, peperomia, syngonium, green giant, red palm, Platycerium, mirror grass, water button, empress tree, lucky bamboo, etc., provide 5 to 6 hours of sunlight a day through shading; for sun-loving species such as acer truncatum, Ulmus parvifolia, honghua, ginkgo, adina, black pine, thuja (stump), cypress, crape myrtle, nanyang cedar, wisteria, jasmine, firethorn, rose, oak, Dendronanthus, etc., provide full sunlight; for semi-shady species such as podocarpus macrophyllus, pinus pentaphylla, maytenus, gardenia, syringa, day lily, nandina, jade tree, azalea, camellia, citron, kumquat, orange, purple珠, fruit石榴, etc., provide appropriate shading around noon.
Newly transplanted autumn bedding plants should also be shaded appropriately to prevent wilting and affect their recovery growth.
4. Pruning:
For potted chrysanthemums, continue to do bud removal and bud removal; for roses, flowering石榴,米兰, jasmine, Zhu Lan, MEIMEI, coral flower, etc., pruning should be done after each flowering; for those that are pruning-tolerant, easy to germinate, and vigorous-growing tree stump盆景 species, such as Ulmus parvifolia, MEIMEI,acer truncatum, honghua, ficus, pygmy date palm, gardenia, small-leaf privet, adina,瓜子黄杨, thuja (stump), sabina, Dendronanthus, wax myrtle, etc., continue pruning or bud removal. Moreover, for发财树 seedlings,辫子 can be implemented and potted.
5. Disease and Pest Control:
For peach red neck longicorn beetles appearing on potted plum, begonia, peony, and other plants, poison sign blocking can be used, or furanadan granules can be applied for control. For Japanese wax scale, cottony wax scale, scale insect, and woolly aphid on potted flowers and trees, use 40% quickly kill 1500 times liquid for control.
Suitable for阳台 display, potted plants in September, the阳台 is still strong sunlight and dry air, only some long-term placement on the阳台 or more resistant potted flowers and trees can adapt to the special environment on the阳台. They are: black pine,锦松, red pine, five-needle pine, Ulmus parvifolia, MEIMEI, adina, triangular枫, eleagnus, holly, wintersweet, ornamental fruit石榴,瓜子黄杨, thuja (stump), cypress, honghua, Ficus microcarpa, day lily, dracaena, catalpa,罗汉松,刺榆, June snow, firethorn, MEIMEI, etc.
