So how should you raise a happy queen? What are the breeding methods of Happiness Forever Flowers? Let's have a look.
Happiness is always a shrub of Ardisia, a perennial evergreen succulent shrub, with a height of 0.8- 1.5m, rarely reaching 6m.
Leaf blade is papery or slightly thick, elliptic or oblong-lanceolate, sparsely oblanceolate, with acute or acuminate apex, wedge-shaped base, length 10- 17 cm, width 1.5-3.5 cm, nearly entire or with sparse and sharp serrations, with reflexed edges, and glandular points on both sides.
Compound umbel, hairless, inserted in lateral special flower branches, with the top bent downward; Petals are white or purplish, 6-7 mm long, oval, with pointed neck and glandular points, and papillae near the base.
The fruit is spherical, about 9 mm in diameter, crimson, and the glandular points are not obvious.
The height of the tree is 20 ~ 2,250 px, the root is rich and the leaves are leathery, the length is 6~250px, the width is 2 ~ 1.25 px, and the leaves are rolled back. It blooms and bears fruit in summer, with white or reddish flowers, drooping ears, spherical fruit with a diameter of about 8mm, light green when immature and bright red when mature.
Cultivation method of happy back garden
I. Soil
Happiness requires loose and fertile soil, and sandy loam with good drainage and strong water retention can be selected.
It can also be slightly acidic soil with good air permeability, or you can buy flower nutrient soil directly.
You can also mix it yourself, that is, choose pastoral soil, spread it on the ground for 3 days before use, add appropriate amount of coarse sand after disinfection, and put ceramic tiles in the basin to facilitate drainage, so there is no need to apply fertilizer during the high temperature period in summer.
Second, light.
From then on, I am happy, originally from South Africa. I like sunshine, avoid direct sunlight, use scattered light, and pay attention to shading in summer to avoid burns.
Semi-shade tolerance, but in the shade, although it can also grow, but the spacing between stems will become longer, leaves will be large and thin, dull, affecting the ornamental effect.
It grows fast in summer and autumn and can be placed in a ventilated semi-cloudy scattered light environment.
In sunny conditions, the new branches are purplish red, and in weak light, they are green.
Note: under the condition of semi-shade, the stem of Flukau is easy to grow in white. Therefore, in the process of growth, it is necessary to keep pruning and shaping to maintain a beautiful plant shape.
Third, temperature.
Fuwa likes a warm environment, the suitable growth temperature is 16℃ to 28℃, and the winter temperature should not be lower than 10℃.
In hot summer, plants are in a semi-dormant state, so attention should be paid to shading.
In winter, it can be kept indoors in front of the window for maintenance.
Fourth, moisture.
Happiness likes humid environment and needs plenty of water.
Summer is in a semi-dormant state, so it is necessary to control watering, keep the basin soil slightly dry, and spray water on the leaves and the ground to increase the air humidity.
When the fruit turns red in winter, it is necessary to reduce the amount of watering, and withhold water to maintain 65% to 70% moisture, and then move it indoors for the winter.
Note: Generally, water once every 3-4 days in spring, 1-2 times a day in summer and once every 2-3 days in autumn. You can water it in the morning and evening in summer and autumn, and at noon in winter.
In short, pay attention to timely and appropriate watering to keep the soil moist.
Stopping water supply refers to the process of stopping watering or reducing the number and amount of watering to carry out drought exercise in the flower bud differentiation stage, so that the plant changes from vegetative growth to reproductive growth and accumulates nutrients, thus promoting the flower bud differentiation to form buds.
After entering the winter, withhold water, keep 65% to 70% moisture, spend the winter indoors, and watch fruits during the Spring Festival.
Verb (abbreviation for verb) fertilization
Fertilization should be based on the size of flower seedlings, different seasons, different fruit branches and seedless seedlings.
Happy after that, it grows vigorously in summer and autumn, needs more nutrients and can be fertilized more; Plants are basically dormant in winter and early spring, so they can be applied less or not.
During the happy growth period, apply 1 thin fertilizer every month.
1April-June, apply NPK compound fertilizer every 20 days.
Stop applying nitrogen fertilizer at flowering stage and stop applying fertilizer after the fruit turns red.
For plants planted underground, according to the drought situation, fertilizer should be applied and watered 2-4 times in spring and summer: first, a small ditch is separated at a distance of 30- 100 km from the root neck (the bigger the plant, the farther it is from the root neck), and the width and depth of the ditch are 20 cm.
Sprinkle 25 ~ 50kg organic fertilizer or 1 ~ 5 two-particle compound fertilizer (fertilizer) into the ditch and then water it.
After winter and before spring, apply fertilizer again according to the above method, but don't water it.
In short, it is necessary to meet the needs of the growth and development of flower seedlings, and to prevent the plants from growing white and affecting the ornamental value.
Therefore, the practice is to apply less concentrated fertilizer, more dilute fertilizer and more phosphorus and potassium fertilizer.
The above is the cultivation method of Fushouhua. I hope it can help everyone, be happy forever and make you happy forever!
