cyclamen

Cyclamen

Cyclamen, also known as rabbit ear flower and radish begonia, is really a flower as its name suggests. Look at the cyclamen blooming. It does look a bit like rabbit ears~

Planting and maintenance

1. Selection: You should select bulbs with a bulb diameter of more than 4 cm and full central leaf buds and flower buds.

2. Soil: Soil selection for cyclamen is very important , it is best to choose sandy soil or other relatively breathable soil.

3. Planting: When burying cyclamen bulbs, one-third should be exposed above the soil, or the buds should be exposed.

4. Watering: Water when first planted. Not too much, just enough to wet the surface soil, and then water thoroughly after roots take root. Then just master the rhythm of watering when it gets dry and then when it gets wet.

5. Maintenance: usually keep it in a cool place. If the leaves that grow are too dense, it is best to remove some manually. Pay attention to fertilization. Fertilize even during the flowering period~ This can prolong the growth period. flowering period.

Tulips

Every flower lover should be familiar with tulips~ Tulips are known as the queen of flowers in the world, and the tulip fields in the Netherlands should be a place that many people really want to visit. !

Planting and maintenance

1. Choose large and plump tulip bulbs. Generally, they are disinfected with carbendazim before being purchased, and then soaked in gibberellin solution for 10 to 15 minutes to promote flowering.

2. The pot soil should be 6 parts of leaf mold soil, Mix 3 parts of sandy soil and 1 part of decomposed manure. After planting and germination, ensure sufficient sunlight and moisture.

3. Apply thin liquid fertilizer once every 10 days or so. Apply phosphorus and potassium fertilizer once during pregnancy and before flowering.

4. Normal maintenance, place in a bright place to wait for germination After sprouting, just water the tulips after the soil is dry, and they will bloom beautiful flowers in spring.

5. Note: Tulips currently available on the market Seed bulbs are divided into natural bulbs and frozen bulbs. If you want to bloom during the Spring Festival, you can choose frozen bulbs that have been treated at low temperatures.

Amaryllis

Perhaps there is another name for Amaryllis that everyone will like more, agapanthus, hahaha, for Chinese people who like to have more children and more blessings, this flower is an omen. It's really good~

Planting and maintenance

< p>1. Clean the seed bulbs: Cut off the rotten and dry roots, and peel off part of the outer brown and dry skin to avoid canker.

2. Replenish the bulbs with water. If the bulbs lose a lot of water due to a long storage period, it is best to rehydrate the bulbs, that is, soak the middle and lower parts of the bulbs in water that is slightly higher than the ambient temperature for 1 to 2 hours. Those with experience can add some red wine to the water. Phytohormones such as mycin are beneficial to rooting and bulb expansion in the later stage, but attention must be paid to the concentration and soaking time, otherwise it will be self-defeating.

3. Disinfection. It is a key link in planting. Generally, common disinfectants such as carbendazim, chlorothalonil, and thiobutyl methyl are used according to the instructions.

4. Medium selection. With limited planting space, the choice of medium is very important. It is suitable to plant amaryllis in loose, water-permeable and slightly acidic medium. The recommended medium is peat:vermiculite:perlite=2:1:1 or peat:perlite=1:1.

5. Planting depth. When the bulb is first planted, at least half of the sphere should be exposed, and the status of the bulb should be checked frequently, because the bulb is very prone to ulceration during this period. After this period, the roots and leaves of the bulb have grown, and then the soil should be covered to 1 inch of the bulb. /2 or 2/3.

6. Water. Water thoroughly after planting, and wait until the pot soil is basically dry before watering again. Do not apply any additional fertilizer except base fertilizer before the bulbs emerge.

7. Place the environment. After planting, first place it in a cool place at 10-15℃ to facilitate rooting. After two weeks, move it to a higher temperature of 20-25℃ to facilitate the extraction of flower arrows.

Hyacinth

If Hyacinth If you don’t look carefully, you might even think it looks like a big ice cream, which looks nice and “delicious”!

Planting and maintenance

1. Cut off the withered roots

First remove the dead roots of the bulb, being careful not to damage the root disk. Peel as little as possible, wipe if there are any mold spots, and peel off the dry skin.

2. Use carbendazim to remove germs

It is best to disinfect and sterilize the bulbs first to prevent mildew and rot. Mix the carbendazim according to the proportion, put the cleaned bulbs in and soak them for about half an hour, and then place the bulbs in a cool and ventilated place to dry for 24 hours. If mildew occurs later, you can use cotton cloth or cotton swabs dipped in carbendazim solution to wipe the mildewed areas.

3. Hyacinth potting

Place the hyacinth bulbs on the prepared container, leaving a gap of about 2cm between the bottom of the hyacinth and the water.

4. Shading treatment at the root stage

< p>When the hyacinths are first planted in the pot, they need to be protected from light. That is, the bulbs and the vase should be placed in a dark place where they cannot see sunlight. You can wrap the transparent part of the bottle with a plastic bag, newspaper, etc. It is recommended to keep it from light for 15 to 20 days. , keep the temperature at about 9 to 10 degrees, change the water every 5 days, and change the water every 7 days after roots grow.

5. Bask in the sun during the leaf-growing period

< p>After the hyacinth avoids the light period, it needs sufficient sunlight to promote the growth of the leaves. Otherwise, the plants are prone to leggy growth, and in severe cases, they may not bloom.

6. Growth and flowering period maintenance

It takes about 50-60 days from hyacinth planting to flowering. Flowering requires sufficient light. When the flower buds grow to 5-8cm high (about 8-12 weeks), the vase can be placed in a warm environment, which is most suitable. The temperature is 15-21 degrees.

After the hyacinth pedicels grow taller and bloom, let them see less sunlight, so that the flowering period is longer. After blooming, exposure to sunlight too often will accelerate the withering of the flowers and excessive consumption of nutrients.

7. Precautions

① About side buds. Most plants reproduce by seeds, but hyacinths reproduce vegetatively and propagate the next generation by dividing balls. It is normal to have side buds (small balls).

Personal suggestion: Novices can erase the side buds and discard them completely, because given our domestic climate environment, it is almost impossible to cultivate a small hyacinth ball into a flowering ball in a natural environment. of.

② Regarding the location of the water surface, hyacinths are relatively easy to rot, so During hydroponics, the water should not flood the sphere. There must be a 2cm gap between the bulb and the water surface.

③ About low temperature treatment. You can put the hyacinths in the fresh compartment of the refrigerator before hydroponics, and then take them out for planting after 2 weeks, because moving from a cold place to a warm place will make the hyacinths think spring is coming and start growing. Sprout.

④  About changing the water, unless the water is turbid Otherwise, it is not recommended to change the water.

⑤ Regarding fertilizers, when there is nitrogen fertilizer in the water, do not let the water see the sun! Algae will grow and damage the hyacinth roots!

Darcissus

Darcissus, known as It is called "Lingbo Fairy", Narcissus Narcissus. As the name suggests, fairies in the water must of course be raised in the water~

Planting and Maintenance

1. Remove the brown coating on the surface of the daffodils.

2. In order to facilitate the growth of flower buds, the narcissus bulbs should be planted Make a vertical cut between the upper buds, cut through 3-4 layers of scales, and then make a crosswise cut on both sides. Be sure not to damage the flower buds.

3. Then soak it in water for 24 hours. A lot of mucus will ooze out around the flower buds. This mucus will affect the growth of narcissus and must be cleaned.

4. After washing away the mucus, you can place it in a basin trained in.

5. Place in a sunny place during the day and keep the temperature Above fifteen degrees. Pour out the water in the basin at night and add water the next morning to cultivate, so as to prevent the leaves from growing wildly. After more than twenty days, you can see the flower buds growing out.

Okay, the most common flower bulbs have been introduced. ~
