1. Water the flowers
(1) residual tea is used to water flowers, which can not only keep soil moisture, but also supplement plants with nutrients such as nitrogen. But according to the humidity of the flowerpot, water it regularly and properly, instead of pouring the residual tea.
2 Watering flowers with spoiled milk After watering flowers with spoiled milk, it is beneficial to the growth of flowers. But it's best to dilute it with more water. Unfermented milk is not suitable for watering flowers, because it will generate a lot of heat during fermentation and will "burn" roots (rotten roots).
(3) Water the flowers with cold water. Watering flowers with cold water can make them flourish and promote their early flowering. If used to water asparagus, its branches and leaves can develop horizontally, short and dense.
(4) Water the flowers with warm water. It is cool in winter, so it is advisable to water the flowers with warm water. It is best to keep the water indoors until it is close to room temperature. It is better that the water temperature can reach 35℃ before watering.
⑤ Wash rice and water the flowers. Frequently watering Milan and other flowers with Taomi water can make them flourish and have bright colors.
People who love to water flowers when no one is at home, such as visiting relatives or going on a business trip, are not at home for ten and a half months, and no one waters flowers. At this time, you can fill the plastic bag with water, make a small hole in the bottom of the bag with a needle and put it in a flowerpot. Small holes are connected to the soil, and water will slowly leak out to wet the soil. The size of the hole needs to be controlled to avoid water leakage too fast. Or put a container filled with cold water next to the flowerpot, and find a wide cloth strip with good water absorption. One end is put in the water in the container and the other end is put in the soil of the flowerpot, so that the soil can be kept moist for at least half a month and the flowers will not die.
2. Five fertilization methods
(1) Medical stone fertilizer Sprinkling a layer of medical stone particles in the flowerpot can promote the growth of flowers and prolong the flowering period.
(2) Broken eggshell fertilizer crushes eggshells and embeds them in flowerpots, which is a good fertilizer and can make potted flowers flourish and colorful.
(3) Cook a small amount of soybeans for later use. Each pot of flowers goes through three holes, and 3-5 pieces of cooked soybeans are put in, with a depth of 2-3 cm, without damaging the flower roots, and the soil is covered as usual.
(4) Scrape pig bones and fish bones that are usually discarded, and cast the bottom or surface of the basin.
(5) Water the flowers with washed rice. Rice washing water contains trace elements such as nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium. It is both a compound fertilizer and a mild fertilizer, which does not hurt the flower roots, as long as the pot soil does not soak in water.
3. Collect organic fertilizers for potted flowers
Chemical fertilizer should not be widely used in family flower cultivation. The main fertilizers such as nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium needed for flower cultivation can be collected in daily life. For example, moldy and inedible waste peanuts, beans, melon seeds, miscellaneous grains, etc. are all nitrogen-containing materials. After fermentation, they can be used as base fertilizer or soaked into solution as topdressing, which can promote the vigorous growth of flowers and trees; Fish bones, broken bones, chicken feathers, eggshells, nails, and human hair are all rich in phosphorus. These wastes are mixed into the old culture soil, added with some water, packed in plastic bags and placed in the corner. After a period of decomposition, they can become excellent organic fertilizers. If these wastes are soaked into solution for topdressing, the domestic potted flowers will have bright colors and rich fruits. In addition, fermented rice washing water, water replaced by raw bean sprouts, plant ash water, rainwater and wastewater in fish tanks all contain a certain amount of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium, which will promote the growth and development of flowers and trees as long as they are used properly.
4. Peel can neutralize the soil in alkaline basin.
Some flowers in the south are not easy to survive or bloom in potted plants in the north because the soil in the pots is too alkaline. There are many ways to neutralize alkaline soil. This method is to soak the peeled apple peel and apple core in cold water, and often irrigate the flowerpot with this water, which can gradually reduce the alkalinity of the pot soil and be beneficial to some plants.
5. Flower disease prevention
In early spring, all kinds of flowers will enter a vigorous growth season. At this time, 1% bordeaux solution can be sprayed on the leaves and back of leaves to prevent diseases. The preparation method of 1% bordeaux solution is: 1g copper sulfate, crushed and dissolved in 50ml hot water; Then use 1 g quicklime, crush it with a few drops of water, add 50 ml of water, and filter off the residue; Pour the two solutions into the same container at the same time and stir evenly, and finally get the Bordeaux solution as transparent as the blue sky.
6. Six ways to kill flowerpot worms and ants
(1) When small flying insects appear in the flowerpot, you can fully dip dichlorvos with three or four cotton sticks (cotton sticks) to prevent them from dripping down, and then insert the handle end into the pot soil around the plant to eliminate the flying insects.
(2) Washing powder: Dissolve a tablespoon of washing powder in 4 liters of water and spray flowers and leaves once every two weeks to completely eliminate whiteflies and bacteria.
(3) Milk: 4 cups of flour and half a cup of milk are mixed into 20 liters of water, stirred, filtered with gauze and sprayed on flowers and leaves to kill ticks and their eggs.
(4) Beer: Pour the beer into the shallow basin under the soil of the flowerpot, and the snail will be drowned if it climbs in.
(5) Garlic: Mash a garlic, mix a spoonful of pepper into half a liter of water, and spray it on the flowers and leaves one hour later to prevent rats from invading.
(6) When ants appear in flowerpots, cigarette butts and tobacco can be soaked in hot water for one or two days. When the water turns dark brown, some water is sprinkled on the stems and leaves, and the rest is diluted and poured into flowerpots to kill ants.
7. Three methods of flower preservation
(1) Bai Yutang used fire moxibustion in his mouth and then inserted it into the bottle. Qiuju's incision was coated with a little mint crystal. Adding a small amount of urea or soil leaching solution (the solution obtained by mixing fertile soil with water and filtering) to chrysanthemum in the clear water for raising chrysanthemum can make chrysanthemum in the bottle wither for up to 30 days, which is more than 10 days longer than that in ordinary clear water. White orchids are wrapped in wet cloth at night and left uncovered during the day, which can delay the fading time of flowers by 2-3 days. Insert hibiscus flowers in hot water for a minute or two, and then put them in cold water. Dahlia scissors are soaked in hot water for a while and then inserted into cold water. Peony flowers are soaked in hot water first, and then inserted into cold water. Camellia inserted with light salt water. Lily is inserted in sugar water. Gardenia flower with water 1-2 drops of fresh meat juice. Narcissus is planted in one thousandth of brackish water. Lotus flowers plug pores with mud and then insert them into light salt water.
② When going out, take out the vase and put it in the fruit and vegetable box in the refrigerator, which can keep it for a long time. When you come back, take it out and put it in a vase. It can be lifelike.
③ Dissolving aspirin in water can prolong the flowering time of bottled flowers.
8. Adjust flowering time
Put flower seeds, plant bulbs or cuttings into plastic bags, then put them in the refrigerator and take them out at the right time for planting. The flowering time can be adjusted at will.
9. Frozen potted flower recovery method
In cold spring, potted flowers freeze outdoors. In this case, the potted flowers can be wrapped in three layers with waste newspapers with strong water absorption. Be careful not to damage the branches and leaves of potted plants when wrapping, and avoid direct sunlight. Let it stand for a day, so that the temperature of potted flowers will gradually increase. After this treatment, the frozen potted flowers can be revived.
10. Clivia's summer resort method
In midsummer, the temperature is often above 30℃, which is extremely unfavorable for the growth of Clivia. To this end, scaffolding is often used to cool down. You can also bury Clivia and the basin in the sand (bury the basin), and then sprinkle water on the sand once every morning and evening. This can keep the basin soil moist, and more importantly, it can achieve the purpose of cooling through the endothermic effect of water evaporation in sand.
1 1. The hydrangea turns blue.
Nail a rusty nail at the root of the hydrangea, and the hydrangea will turn blue obviously.
12. Cleaning method of calcareous soil on plants
When many families are cleaning, whether it is winter or midsummer, potted flowers are usually washed under the tap, which often affects the growth of plants because of the sudden change of temperature. If it is a foliage plant, it can be dipped in water and cleaned one by one along the branches. Other plants can be washed with a watering can.
13. flower cultivation deodorization method
Indoor flowers will give off an unpleasant smell if fermented liquid is used as fertilizer. If orange peel is put into fertilizer solution, the smell will be eliminated. At the same time, orange peel itself is also a good fertilizer.
14. Four methods of self-made pesticides
① Take 200 grams of green onion, chop it up, soak it in 10 liter of water for one day and night, filter it, and spray it on the affected area several times a day for five days.
(2) 200-300g of garlic, mashed to get juice, diluted with 10 liter of water and immediately used for spray planting.
(3) Soak 400 grams of tobacco powder in 10 liter water for two days and nights, and filter out the tobacco powder. When in use, add 10 liter water and 20-30 grams of soap powder, mix them evenly, and spray them on damaged flowers and trees. (4) water 10L, plant ash 3kg. After soaking for 3 days and 3 nights, the plants can be sprayed.
15. Weed eradication methods
There are many weeds. The weeds in the yard have just been pulled out, and they will be full in a few days. In this case, don't pour out the salt water that is usually used to pickle duck eggs or pickles. In the season when weeds are flourishing, watering the weeds with salt water three or four times can stop the growth of weeds. In addition, the water for boiling potatoes can also remove weeds in the yard or aisle. Weeding with bleaching powder water is also very effective. The method is: sprinkle water on the ground to be weeded, so that the land is soaked, and then water it with bleaching powder after 24 hours.
