Different colors give people different feelings. Warm colors such as red, orange and yellow remind people of flame and sunshine, giving people a warm, exciting and warm feeling, while blue and green remind people of the cool and calm feeling in the ocean and forest, belonging to cool colors.
Indoor light is strong and the background is light, such as white, gray or brown. You should choose flowers with bright colors and dark green leaves, such as brown bamboo or other dark flowers. If the room is dark and the background color is dark, you should choose light-colored flowers, such as calla lily and tortoise shell bamboo. So the contrast between shadow and depth is remarkable. Changes of home decoration flowers with seasons
The application of flower decoration should fully reflect the characteristics of seasonal changes, and indoor materials should be in harmony with nature or in sharp contrast: in spring, the breath of spring and the recovery of everything should be mainly based on flower viewing materials, such as winter jasmine and plum blossom. It is hot in summer, so it is not suitable to decorate flowers with strong colors, but it is better to decorate them with green foliage plants as the main body. Such as asparagus and bamboo. Autumn is crisp, and chrysanthemums are worthy of being a symbol of autumn. In addition, some Qiu Lan and fruit ornamental materials can be used to reflect the rich autumn scenery. In winter, everything withers, so Li Yijia should use warm colors to achieve the warm feeling like spring, such as crystal red and cyclamen.
Coordination between home decoration plants and home environment
For Chinese architecture and furniture, it is suitable to choose some flower arrangements, bonsai and so on. Or some traditional famous flowers in China, such as orchids and azaleas.
Western-style or modern-style buildings and furniture should use modern containers and flowers. If the plants are short, they can be placed on the counter and so on, which can guide the line of sight and emphasize the height of the ceiling. Cosmetic mirrors and vanity mirrors are daily necessities, which can expand the space. Putting flowers in front of the mirror not only deepens the space, but also appears to spend more. The first thing to buy home decoration flowers is what kind of room and location it is, and then consider buying flowers suitable for it. When selecting, we should choose plants with compact plant type, balanced and beautiful appearance, bright and thick leaves, gradually sprouting new leaves and vigorous growth. If you are watching flowers or fruits, you should choose flowers that have not yet blossomed or can still bear fruit, so that you can have a long viewing period.
If you buy flowers in winter, the plants you buy should be wrapped in paper and other items to prevent freezing and bumping. The management of home decoration flowers is the key to ensure the quality of flower decoration rooms, and the following aspects should be paid attention to:
1. Strengthen water and fertilizer management. Potted flowers should be watered according to the season, flower habits, growth, size, texture and soil characteristics. The principle of watering most flowers is to see dry and wet, and water them thoroughly. Be careful not to use cold water at noon in summer, so as to avoid the great temperature difference between water temperature and soil temperature, which will damage the absorption capacity of flower roots. Judging whether to water can be decided by touching the surface of the basin soil. The demand for fertilizer is less than more, so it is necessary to save fertilizer and apply it frequently. The foliage flower is mainly nitrogen fertilizer, so it is necessary to increase the application of phosphorus and potassium fertilizer in flower and fruit viewing. Try not to pollute the leaves when watering and fertilizing.
2. Regular pruning, shaping and yellow leaves removal can improve the ornamental value of flowers.
3. Flowers at home are sometimes attacked by pests and diseases, so prevention is the main thing, and it is necessary to deal with them early and eliminate pests and diseases in the early stage.
4. The use of drugs should also be based on the types with little or no odor and low toxicity to people. There are many daily necessities, seasoning crystals, waste and so on. In the family, what are the good pesticides to control pests and diseases? For example, washing powder can prevent and control spiders, whiteflies and other pests. Fresh leeks can be mashed and sprayed with 60 grams of water. Can cure aphids, red spiders and almond, onion, cigarette butts or cigarette powder flooding. Rose powdery mildew can be controlled by potassium permanganate, baking soda and plant ash water extract.
Interior decoration skills of hydroponic flowers
Decorating indoor environment with modern hydroponic flowers is clean, novel and unique, which is easy to achieve the effect of harmony and unity with indoor decoration, showing an ancient and elegant atmosphere, reflecting the personality and taste of modern urbanites pursuing art, and decorating a delicate and beautiful hydroponic foliage plant in the corner of the bookcase. After learning, take a rest and watch carefully, which can adjust the mood and purify the soul, and have a poetic feeling. Put the hydroponic ivy with bright leaves on the top of the cupboard, and you can enjoy its clear roots and winding branches and leaves, which have charming charm and natural beauty.
Hydroponic flowers can be planted in a bottle, or three or two different flowers can be planted in the same container at will, which is flexible and more ornamental. Based on hydroponic flowers, inserting fresh cut flowers into them is even more charming and interesting. If polished colored broken glass, plastic ornaments and glass balls are put in hydroponic vessels, it will be more colorful, vivid, interesting and fascinating. Putting a few pebbles at the bottom of a transparent vessel will give people a feeling of returning to nature. Indoor hydroponic flower decoration should be based on the characteristics of the room, through reasonable layout, choose suitable plant materials, achieve unity and harmony with the indoor environment, and achieve ideal ornamental effect.
Key points of application
1. The size of the plant shape should be coordinated with the indoor space. Choosing smaller plants is easy to achieve compact and plump effect; In a relatively spacious environment, it is advisable to choose larger plants to avoid the sense of emptiness.
2. The selection of plant species should adapt to indoor cultivation conditions. The light intensity and temperature in different places are different, so we can choose suitable flower seeds according to different light conditions and suitable temperature every year. Good ventilation and sufficient scattered light should be kept indoors at ordinary times. If the light is insufficient, it should be supplemented by lights. In addition, for flowers with strict temperature requirements, measures should be taken to keep out the cold in order to ensure their safe overwintering.
3. The posture of plant materials should echo the decoration and layout of the environment. Several tables should be decorated with small and medium-sized flowers such as tufted spring feathers, silver-braced taro, colorful bamboo, paphiopedilum and evergreen; Near the door, beside the sofa and in the corner, you can directly place slightly larger hydroponic flowers on the ground, such as brown bamboo, Dawannian, Qinzhu and Basimu. The hydroponic flowers used for hanging decoration or placed on the top of the cabinet should choose flowers with drooping branches and leaves, such as canary, bamboo, chlorophytum, trachelospermum, green radish and so on.
4. It is advisable to place hydroponic flowers indoors. Indoor hydroponics of flowers is by no means a question of how much to raise. Hydroponic flowers are mostly green foliage plants, which absorb carbon dioxide and release oxygen through photosynthesis during the day, which has the function of purifying the air and is beneficial to human body. But at night, most plants absorb oxygen and emit carbon dioxide. Excessive carbon dioxide in the air is harmful to human body, making people feel weak and unconscious. How many flowers should be put in the room? According to the experiments of scientists in recent 20 years, it is more appropriate to plant one or two kinds of flowers per 10 square meter in terms of room area. On the basis of this standard, more than 10 hydroponic flowers of different sizes are placed in an indoor room of 50-60 square meters, which can not only satisfy the viewing, but also avoid the phenomenon of lack of oxygen with people at night.
From the ecological point of view, several plants of cactus, Sedum and Agavaceae should be selected for the collocation of hydroponic flowers, such as three-edged grafted cactus, fenugreek and rooting. The stomata of these plants are open at night, and transpiration occurs many times at night, releasing oxygen and absorbing carbon dioxide, thus purifying indoor air.
Family Maintenance of Flowers in Autumn
After autumn, the temperature gradually drops and the sunshine weakens. For many people who like to grow flowers, it is necessary to conserve flowers according to the climate characteristics of this season, so that they can spend autumn and winter smoothly.
The first is to enter the room to keep warm. In this season, most woody flowers, bonsai and perennial herbs in the south have to be moved indoors, such as banyan, hibiscus, poinsettia, begonia, cyclamen, tortoise shell bamboo, Liriodendron chinense, African jasmine, Milan and rubber trees. Because with the increase of temperature difference between day and night and the decrease of temperature at night, perennial flowers will convert chlorophyll into anthocyanins and carotene in this case, leading to the removal of folic acid. Although plants will not die, they will also cause a large number of fallen leaves or yellow leaves, which will lose the ornamental effect.
Second, water and fertilizer are suitable. Potted flowers grow slowly in autumn. At this time, most flowers should start to control the amount of watering and stop fertilizing, so as to avoid too much water rotting roots and too much fertilizer leading to white branches and leaves. For flowers that bloom around the Spring Festival, such as cyclamen, clivia, crab claw orchid, camellia, rhododendron and so on.
At this point, we have passed the dormant period and started to enter the peak season of growth. Therefore, the management of fertilizer and water should be strengthened after autumn, and the application of phosphorus and potassium fertilizer should be appropriately increased to facilitate the formation of flower buds.
Third, timely breeding. For annual herbaceous flowers, attention should be paid to the collection and preservation of seeds. Some biennial flowers, such as pansy, carnation, chrysanthemum, hollyhock, etc. It is a good time to sow. Pay attention to spraying water after sowing to keep the soil moist. There are also some woody flowers suitable for cutting in autumn, such as roses, geraniums and jasmine. The survival rate of cutting in autumn is high. Perennial flowers, such as Paeonia suffruticosa and Paeonia lactiflora, which grow densely and need to be divided into plants, should be divided into plants and propagated in time. Flowers that bloom around the Spring Festival, such as hyacinthus orientalis, tulips and Zhu Dinghong, should be brought to the pots as soon as possible.
The fourth is reasonable pruning. Most flowers such as jasmine, crape myrtle and pomegranate can be trimmed and reshaped in autumn, which can reduce the consumption of nutrients in winter and promote the flowering of potted flowers in the second year. When pruning, remove diseased branches, dead branches, over-dense branches and long branches to lay a good foundation for potted flowers to overwinter.
The fifth is to prevent and control pests and diseases. Autumn is an important period for flower pest control. Potted flowers can be sprayed with drugs before entering the room to prevent overwintering diseases and insect sources.
Family hydroponic flower cultivation method
1. What are the difficulties of hydroponic flowers in summer? Hydroponics is the cultivation of ornamental plants with non-solid medium (water or water containing appropriate plant nutrient solution). At present, most family hydroponic flowers are cultured in still water, and the dissolved oxygen is lower than 1mg/l, so the flowers barely maintain their lives in anoxic containers. With the temperature rising in summer, the physiological metabolism of plants is vigorous, microorganisms multiply, the oxygen consumption increases sharply, the dissolved oxygen decreases continuously, and the water quality deteriorates, which may cause many unfavorable factors to the growth of hydroponic flowers, resulting in root rot, withered branches and leaves, and even premature death of plants and flowers. Therefore, in summer, in addition to preventing extreme heat and high temperature, improving the oxygen content of nutrient solution is the key to ensure the safety of hydroponic flowers in summer.
Second, how to improve the content of dissolved oxygen in nutrient solution?
There are many ways to increase dissolved oxygen, which can be summarized as chemical methods and physical methods. Here are some simple and effective methods.
1. Increasing the number of nutrient solution changes is the easiest way to increase dissolved oxygen. It is determined that the dissolved oxygen content of fresh nutrient solution is 70%-90% higher than that of the original solution, which can improve the physiological hypoxia of flowers in time. For flowers that have been rooted for 3-5 days, it is advisable to change the nutrient solution for 7 days at most. When replacing nutrient solution, it should be noted that the temperature difference between the new solution and the original solution should not be too large, which may cause physiological disorder of flower root system. When changing the liquid, wash the root system patiently with clear water, remove dead roots and rotten roots, cut the old roots short and grow new ones. If the nutrient solution suddenly becomes turbid or there are mosquito eggs, it should be replaced with a new nutrient solution immediately.
2. As long as the root system is clear and intact and the nutrient solution is thorough, hydroponic flowers can be oxygenated by vibration. The operation method is to hold the flowers in one hand and shake the vessel 10 times with the other hand, and the dissolved oxygen content of the nutrient solution after shaking can be increased by more than 30%. For hydroponic flowers with turbid nutrient solution and poor root system development, it is not appropriate to adopt the method of vibration oxygenation, and all nutrient solutions must be replaced.
3. Inflate the container. If there is a tank of ornamental fish next to the hydroponic flowers, you can use the oxygen rod of the fish tank to inflate the container.
3. Where should the hydroponic flowers be placed in summer?
The flowers used in hydroponics are mostly shade-tolerant flowers and flowers with both leaves and leaves. If taro, white jade evergreen, silver bud taro, candle, pineapple, etc. These flowers are warm, slightly shade-tolerant, and avoid high temperature and dry heat. Hydroponics only changes the cultivation form, and it is impossible to change its growth habits, which requires environmental factors. In summer, it is best to place hydroponic flowers in a bright, slightly higher humidity, cooler and well-ventilated environment. Avoid direct sunlight, but don't be too cool, so as not to hinder the photosynthesis of flowers, weaken their growth, make the stems longer and the leaves thinner. The flower leaves with colored blocks and patterns have lost their luster.
4. Can hydroponic flowers be put in an air-conditioned room?
Of course. However, hydroponic flowers should not be placed directly at the air outlet of air conditioning. If the wind speed is too fast, the branches and leaves will be hurt, and the leaves will curl or wither. It should also be taken into account that the temperature of flowers is required to be higher during the day than at night. If the air conditioner is turned off at night, the ambient temperature is higher than the daytime temperature when the air conditioner is turned on, which is unfavorable for the growth of hydroponic flowers. When the air conditioner is turned on, put a pot of water next to the flowers or spray it on the leaves to increase the humidity of the environment. The flowers are placed far away from the air outlet of the air conditioner, so there is no problem that the temperature difference between day and night is not big.
5. What about hydroponic flowers and rotten roots?
With the continuous increase of temperature, the water temperature will also increase, microbial reproduction will accelerate, dissolved oxygen will decrease, and water quality will become worse. Improper addition of nutrient solution and high dissolution concentration may cause root rot of hydroponic flowers, especially pig's feet, horsetail (Millennium chrysanthemum) and five-color Millennium chrysanthemum of Liliaceae. The following methods can be used to restore the growth of flowers with rotten roots: a. Remove all rotten roots, and if the stems have been infected, cut off the infected parts with a sharp knife. B. Soak the trimmed flowers in 0.5% potassium permanganate solution 10-20min for sterilization. C, taking out the soaked flowers and washing them in running water. D put the washed flowers into the original vessel and plant them with clear water (the vessel should be cleaned). E, change the water once every 1-2 days, and only change the fresh water without changing the nutrient solution. The water quality is clear, which can reduce the number of water changes. After 10- 15 days of maintenance, new roots can sprout. F, the newly sprouted new roots are still cultivated with clear water, and when the temperature is stable at 18-25 degrees, they are cultivated with nutrient solution.
6. What should I do if the nutrient solution breeds algae?
Algae propagation in nutrient solution is a common phenomenon in the process of hydroponic flower cultivation. Especially in summer, the temperature is high, the transparency of utensils is good, and the environment is bright. Or it takes too long to replace the nutrient solution, which will lead to a large number of algae. Algae flowers carry oxygen, and secretions pollute the solution, which reduces the quality of nutrient solution. Algae attached to the roots of flowers hinder the respiration of roots and interfere with the normal physiological activities of flowers, which is extremely harmful. Once the nutrient solution breeds algae, the polluted solution should be poured out decisively, the utensils should be thoroughly cleaned, the algae attached to the flower roots should be brushed off, and a new nutrient solution should be replaced.
7. What fertilizer is used for hydroponic flowers? How to fertilize in summer?
Hydroponics is a special cultivation form, which belongs to soilless culture. The roots of flowers are anchored in water (or special plant nutrient solution), which is also called nutrient solution cultivation.
Hydroponic flowers should be cultivated with plant nutrient solution. However, different flowers need different nutrients at different growth stages. If five bottles, six bottles or even a dozen bottles of different varieties of hydroponic flowers are planted at the same time, it is unrealistic to buy a bottle of plant nutrient solution for each flower. Simply put, you can choose to use general plant nutrient solution.
Generally, plant nutrient solution generally contains all nutrient elements (including macro elements and trace elements) necessary for flower growth. The proportion of each element is balanced, the inorganic salt is ionic, the application range is wide, it is suitable for the needs of different flower varieties in the growth period, and it is non-toxic and harmless, and its pH value and ion concentration are beneficial to nutrient absorption. There are many kinds of plant nutrient solutions sold in the market. It is best to go to hydroponic flower shop to buy products with good reputation from manufacturers.
There are different opinions on whether to cultivate with nutrient solution or only with clear water in summer. According to the author's experience, flowers with high temperature resistance and vigorous growth should be cultivated with nutrient solution; Flowers with slender roots, semi-dormancy and dormancy at 30℃ are cultivated only with clear water. Such as silver-bracted taro, green radish, small turtle back bamboo, ruby, taro and so on. It is suitable to cultivate with nutrient solution to maintain the growth advantage and improve the ornamental grade. Flowers such as colored grass, bamboo begonia and pineapple can spend the summer safely with a bottle of clear water.
The proportion of nutrient solution should strictly follow the instructions, and the concentration should not be increased at will. Because the root tissue structure of flowers germinated by hydroponics has changed, it is looser and larger than that of soil culture. The cell wall becomes thinner and absorbs water, nutrients and oxygen directly from the nutrient solution, which is extremely sensitive to the concentration of the nutrient solution. Too high a concentration is harmful to flowers. As long as the concentration of major elements is not lower than 1 liter, the lower concentration is beneficial to the growth of flowers. It is advisable to change the nutrient solution every five days in summer.
Eight, can you change the flowers planted in the soil into hydroponic flowers in summer?
It is most suitable to change soil-cultured flowers into hydroponic flowers in spring and autumn, when the temperature is around 15 ~ 25℃, which is suitable for flower growth and easy to adapt to the changing cultivation environment. The following factors should be considered to change the cultivation form of summer flowers: ① Choose the quality close to the relationship between wet flowers. ② Flowers that still grow normally and develop well when the temperature is around 30℃. The experiment proved that the survival rate of Araceae taro, tortoise plastron, ruby taro, Hulk, green radish and some bromeliad flowers increased after changing from soil culture to hydroponics in summer. They quickly adapted to hydroponics, and their roots rarely rotted. After 15 ~ 20 days of culture, not only lateral roots grow on the old roots, but also rhizome tips can germinate and take root. When changing from soil culture to hydroponics, the soil in the flower rhizosphere should be removed. Rinse repeatedly to protect the root system from damage or less damage, take a large-capacity vessel for cultivation, change the water once a day, and change the water once every 2-3 days after five days until the water roots grow to 5 cm long, and cultivate with low-concentration plant nutrient solution.
