Florescence management of potted gypsophila paniculata
September to 65438+ February
After September, it is necessary to supplement the illumination with artificial electric light to meet the long sunshine conditions for producing flowers in winter, so as to induce flower bud differentiation and turn vegetative growth into reproductive growth. Always use all-night lighting or late-night lighting (22: 00- 2:00 am) to ensure that the light intensity is 50 ~ 100 lux. It is necessary to keep the temperature above 15 degrees in winter, and the low temperature below 10 degrees is easy to produce rosette leaves.
temperature
The temperature of 25℃ is the best every day. If it exceeds 30℃, the time or days will be too long, which will increase the probability of abnormal flowers. The optimum night temperature is 10 ~ 15℃, and if it is lower than 10℃, it will be lower than 10℃, and short sunshine in autumn and winter will easily lead to dormancy or clustering.
sunlight
The critical photoperiod of flowering of most commercial varieties is between 12 and 18 hours. Long-day treatment itself is only effective in inducing ear differentiation, and the more long-day treatment, the more flowers you can get. The longer photoperiod can not only promote early flowering, but also make flowers bigger. However, the Bristol fairy is not as sensitive to long light as other varieties, such as Perfecta diamuna, which can blossom in 12 hour, which is one of the reasons why this variety has become the main product species in Taiwan Province Province.
luminosity
Illumination has a profound influence on the flowering of gypsophila paniculata, especially in winter. All plants can bloom if the sky-high stars in summer are illuminated with 80 ~ 24klux light, but the difference is that the less light plants receive, the less flowers they bear. When irradiated with 58Klux in winter, all plants can blossom; However, plants irradiated with 24Klux can't bloom even if they are given full light for 24 hours.
