Artificial cultivation

1. Generally, planting is carried out in the ground, or potted plants can be used to make bonsai. Planting in spring, because of avoiding water stains, should be planted in a slightly higher place where water is not easy to accumulate and sunny. The soil is neutral and alkaline, and the pH value is not lower than 7. The quality of the material should be loose, but not too fertile, which will easily lead to vain growth and reduced flowering. Planting holes should be determined according to the size of the root system, not too deep or too big, and it is better to spread the root system. The suitable planting depth is 1 cm water from the ground. It is best to plant with soil balls. After planting, pour enough water.

2. Light and temperature Begonia is suitable to grow in a sunny environment, but it grows poorly in a shady environment. If potted, put it in a well-lit place during the growing period. In winter, it will not be damaged by freezing at the low temperature of-15℃, and it can overwinter in the open air. But in the unusually cold winter, it is necessary to take cold-proof measures.

3. Water and water are combined with fertilization. After defoliation in autumn every year, large fertilizer should be applied once to supplement the nutrients consumed by flowers and fruits, and it is better to apply decomposed organic fertilizer. At the same time, combined with winter irrigation and watering. Apply organic fertilizer once before the spring buds are shaded, and water them once to make them permeable. Fertilization methods in autumn and winter vary with the age of trees. Young trees are fertilized in a ring, and the ring is less than 1 cm from the root of the tree. Radial digging and fertilization of older trees; Weeds should be excluded from the combination of aged trees, and organic fertilizer should be spread under the crown. After application, the fertilizer should be turned into the ground for 3 cm, and phosphorus and potassium fertilizer should be applied twice after flowering to ensure a certain fruit setting rate. Pay attention to watering at the same time.

4. The flower buds of shaping and pruning begonia are mostly differentiated from terminal buds, and the medium and short fruit branches are the main flower branches, so the medium and short fruit branches should be kept. The long branches should be cut short, and at the same time, the over-dense branches, dry and dead branches and pest branches should be cut off, and then pruned according to the required tree shape. If you want to make the crown perfect, you should cultivate it sparsely, cut off the branches that are too dense, and cut the parts with sparse branches vertically, so as to make them have more side branches and be simple and empty.
