Fine-seed tree, also known as Yesong Peony, New Zealand Tea Tree, Manuka Tree, etc. Named after its leaves like pine needles and flowers like raspberries, it belongs to the evergreen shrub of Myrtaceae. It has four characteristics: 1, the ornamental characteristics are diversified, the ornamental leaves, flowers and plant types are diverse, and the colors are quite rich, including red, pink, pink, magenta and white; There are many kinds of flowers, including single petals and double petals; There are many flowers. A 2-year-old plant has hundreds of buds, full of stars, and the flowers are as bright and beautiful as brocade. 2. The flowering period is long, from early winter to early summer. 3, health care function, essential oil has antiviral, antifungal and strong bactericidal ability, can treat various respiratory diseases, and is also suitable for aromatherapy. 4. As a wax flower, it can be used for cut flowers.

First, how to bloom well, the pattern is compact.

First of all, we should understand its biological characteristics and ecological habits. Usually, the plant height of Songhongmei is about 2m, and its branches are slender. If the pruning management is not timely, it is easy to grow wildly and the plant type is loose. But it is resistant to pruning and has strong branching ability. Using this characteristic, we can prune from young plants, make them sprout new branches and control the reasonable plant type. 1 12 years later, the plant can be beautiful, with large flowers and dense branches. According to different cultivation purposes, it can be divided into ornamental and reproductive, and there are obvious differences between them in modeling and pruning. For example, in order to provide cuttings, cuttings or seed propagation, we should leave more long branches and less pruning. Phosphorus and potassium fertilizer should be released after flowering, rather than cutting off residual flowers for fruiting. If it is ornamental, it should be pruned many times in time, cultivate ornamental plant type, prune and fertilize after flowering to realize secondary flowering.

Pay attention to two points. First, don't cut off all branches except some that affect plant type. Generally, 1/3- 1/20 is left. If the pruning is too heavy, only lignified branches will be left, and it is difficult to restore growth. Secondly, fertilizer should be applied after each pruning, and the amount of nitrogen fertilizer should be controlled mainly by phosphorus and potassium fertilizer to promote flower bud differentiation and ensure flowering in the next year. In addition, because its roots are close to the soil surface, we should try to avoid turning over the soil when loosening the soil and weeding, so as not to hurt the roots.

Second, how to spend summer and winter safely?

Songhongmei likes a cool, humid and sunny environment. The suitable growth temperature is 18℃-250℃, and the temperature should be kept above 1℃ in winter. In summer, she is afraid of high temperature and scorching sun exposure, and she should be given sufficient light in other seasons. Drought tolerance is strong, and the requirements for soil are not strict, but the slightly acidic soil rich in humus, loose and fertile, and well drained is the best. Avoid high temperature and humidity, prevent poor drainage and long-term water accumulation. Therefore, it is necessary to take some protective measures in hot summer and cold winter areas, such as placing them in shade sheds, trees or other cool and ventilated places for maintenance in summer, sprinkling water to cool down, and planting orange grass on the south side of buildings for thermal insulation or microclimate protection in winter. In terrain selection, high slopes and high platforms with smooth drainage should be adopted to avoid depressions. When the soil is too alkaline, it should be improved with 5% ferrous sulfate solution, and the pH value is 6.5-7.0. In winter in the north, potted plants are cultivated indoors.

Third, how to realize the health care function?

The health care function of Songhongmei is more and more favored by people. How to realize this function through garden configuration? First of all, the application forms should be diversified, and potted plants are the most common one. Put it in the living room in the flowering season, because it coincides with New Year's Day and Spring Festival, which can increase the festive atmosphere. It can also be placed on the windowsill and balcony, which not only enhances the intimacy with people, but also facilitates maintenance. The roof is also a good place for farming. The soil layer and water basically grow fully and normally, and there is no water accumulation. In addition, in front of the house and behind the house, fitness venues are suitable places for planting and training. It should be reasonable to combine greening with people, narrow the distance with people and meet people's needs. At the same time, it should be reasonably matched with healthy plants such as walnut, crape myrtle, Phyllostachys pubescens, chlorophytum, aloe, Eupatorium odoratum, green radish and mint to give full play to their comprehensive functions, or walnut and crape myrtle should be used as shade trees, or planted in front of Phyllostachys pubescens and green radish, or vertically matched with chlorophytum odoratum and green radish, or combined with aloe and mint color blocks.
