bedroom
It is necessary to create a quiet and comfortable atmosphere here. You can put a pot of jasmine, osmanthus or roses by the window. If it is a flower arrangement, you can choose elegant mountain lilies, yellow lilies, daffodils and so on. The bedroom area is small, so it is not suitable to arrange too many plants. Small potted plants such as aloe and asparagus should be arranged.
study
When arranging, we should pay attention to creating an elegant and quiet atmosphere, and we can place delicate and elegant flowers such as Milan, narcissus and jasmine. Choose not too many plants. You can choose foliage plants or potted flowers with lighter colors. For example, put one or two pots of asparagus and evergreen on the desk, and hang plants against the wall above the bookshelf to make the whole study look elegant and quiet. In addition, the study can also put some flower arrangements, the color of flower arrangements should not be too strong, it is appropriate to arrange flowers in a simple oriental way, or put two pots of plants.
kitchen
This is a place where you have to work often, so plants should be small rather than big. The easiest way is to plant a pot of edible plants such as onion and garlic as decoration. Of course, you can also put a bottle of flower arrangement on the countertop near the window sill to remove the smell of lampblack. The temperature and humidity in the kitchen change greatly, so we should choose some small potted flowers with strong adaptability.
lavatory
We should choose ferns with strong resistance to stress and darkness or slender green plants that do not occupy space. It is also very beautiful to put a pot of vines on the windowsill of the bathroom.
Small knowledge of family flower planting
Flower fertilization
(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. Punch three holes in each pot of flowers, put in 3-5 cooked soybeans with a depth of 2-3 cm, and cover the roots 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.
Recovery of frozen potted flowers
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.
Soil preparation
Chemical disinfection of soil: spray 4-5ml of 40% formalin per liter of soil. Then sealed, unsealed after 48 hours, spread out, and formalin turned into gas and volatilized.
Determination and adjustment of soil pH value: when the acidity is too high, some lime powder can be mixed in the culture soil or the proportion of plant ash can be increased; When the alkali content is high, an appropriate amount of aluminum sulfate (alum) or ferrous sulfate (green alum) or sulfur powder can be added.
Materials for preparing culture soil:
1. Garden soil (or garden soil or pastoral soil): Common cultivated soil, due to frequent fertilization and cultivation, has high fertility and good aggregate structure, and is the main raw material for preparing cultivated soil. Disadvantages: the surface layer is easy to harden when dry, and the ventilation and water permeability are poor when wet. Can not be used alone.
2. Rotten soil: the cultivated soil which is mixed with various plant leaves and weeds and fermented with water and human excrement. The PH value is acidic. Use after exposure
3. Mountain mud: natural humus soil, loose and acidic. Commonly used as camellia, orchids, azaleas and other acid-loving flowers.
4. River sand: good air permeability, adding heavy clay can improve soil and increase drainage and ventilation. The disadvantage is that there is no fertility.
5, herbal ash: rich in potash fertilizer. Add it to the culture soil to make it well drained and the soil loose.
6, bone meal: animal bones contain a lot of phosphate fertilizer after grinding and fermentation. The addition amount shall not exceed 1%.
7. Sawdust (sawdust) It has all the conditions needed for potted flower soil: it can be used alone, and plants cannot be fixed when used alone. Therefore, it is often mixed with other materials to increase drainage and air permeability.
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.
About lighting
According to the different sunshine hours required for flowering, flowers can be divided into three categories:
Short-lived flowers: autumn chrysanthemum, poinsettia, crab claw orchid, immortal fat, etc. It will bloom smoothly under the sunshine shorter than 12- 14 hours every day. If you work overtime, the flowering period will be postponed.
Long-term flowers: evening primrose, Milan, hydrangea, impatiens, pomegranate, etc. Before flowering, it is necessary to keep sunshine 12- 14 hours every day to facilitate the formation of flower buds; If not, the flowering period will be delayed.
Flowers in China and Japan: Geranium, Dahlia, Jasmine, Begonia, Carnation, Zinnia, Petunia, etc. There is no obvious reaction to sunlight, and sunlight does not affect flowering.
Temperature control
Temperature is an important field for all kinds of flowers to survive. No matter how suitable other environments in the wild are, flowers can't survive without suitable temperature conditions. The growth and development of each flower has its optimum temperature, maximum temperature and minimum temperature. Too high or too low temperature will destroy the normal physiological activities of flowers.
For example, in hot summer, flowers should be treated differently according to different varieties, such as poinsettia, deciduous trees, pomegranate, figs, roses and so on. Camellia, Rhododendron, Gardenia, Nandina domestica, etc. Should be kept in a ventilated and cool place; Flowers of Orchidaceae, Hosta and Compositae should be placed in places with weak light or astigmatism, and at the same time, methods such as shading, spraying water and covering should be adopted to cool down.
Pruning and cutting
Flowers and plants need pruning after growing for a period of time, which plays a role in ventilation and shaping, and is also more conducive to the growth of vegetation. Pruning is different in different seasons. For example, pruning in spring and autumn is mainly pruning, while plants flourish in summer. At this time, pruning is mainly about picking the heart, wiping the bud, picking the leaves, thinning the flowers and fruits, and concentrating nutrition, which is also conducive to plastic surgery according to personal hobbies.
Cutting is an important means of propagation of many flowers, but the best cutting time of different plants is different. For example, summer is the pruning time for some evergreen flowers and trees. Milan, Jasmine, Rhododendron and Fusang are easy to survive if planted in summer. Pansy can be propagated in early July, chrysanthemum can be sown in July-August, and it will bloom in severe winter and few flowers season.
