8 kinds of flowers, raise small and not support the elderly, and must be hard cut in the second year!

Good-looking asparagus in the market is short and lush. At this time, most of them are about half a year old to 1 year old, with the strongest vitality, dense leaves and new leaves.

Asparagus has been preserved for a long time, its branches are getting longer and longer, its roots and bottom branches are aging, its top branches and leaves are easy to wither, sparse and messy, and it requires higher temperature and humidity. Therefore, most parts of north-central China cannot keep asparagus that is too old.

Our common cases of raising a pot of asparagus for a long time are mostly warm and humid areas in the south. It is difficult for aging roots and branches to transport water and nutrients, but fortunately, branches and leaves can absorb water in the air. But if you want to keep the elegant bonsai temperament of asparagus, you must keep it tender and short.

Asparagus can't be kept too old. When it is young, it will also give birth to many cubs. Branchlets and buds will pop up near the roots. When asparagus is strung, it can be divided into 2-3 pots when changing pots in spring and summer. If your asparagus grows too high, you can also cut it short to keep the branches short and strong.

jonquil

The strongest vitality of longevity flowers is the seedlings of six months to two years. At this time, the main stems are all green and stout, that is, they are healthy and long-lived, grow fast, love flowering, love fertilization and love absorption. Most of the flowers in the flower market are seedlings of this period.

Two years after flowering, the piles at the bottom slowly lignified and the roots began to age. Lignification is equivalent to old piles. Old heaps have a high risk of longevity and death, and it is more difficult to cross the Xia Yue, because nutrient transportation to the top is difficult and slow, and flowering will be reduced.

Good long-lived old piles should be trimmed on time. Generally, after flowering, all the thinner shoots should be cut off, the long green branches should be shortened, and the length of lignified branches should be controlled as much as possible. Remember to bask in the sun more after cutting to grow new leaves, and spray some potassium dihydrogen phosphate before flowering, which will be directly absorbed by the leaves and promote flowers faster.

If your long-lived pile doesn't like flowering, you can also cut off branches in spring and insert them into the soil for cutting. The survival rate of long-lived cuttings is relatively high. Put a branch into a pot, and the energetic new seedlings will spend the summer more safely. Apply some slow-release fertilizer in autumn or spray some potassium dihydrogen phosphate, and it will bloom in winter.

Anthurium plants

Anthurium is not kept as long as possible. When you find that the main stem below it begins to turn into dead leaves layer by layer, you should be on your guard, either cut it down again or buy a new one.

The best curing time of Anthurium andraeanum is six months to two years. After more than three years, pseudobulb at the bottom is old. At this time, Anthurium andraeanum is prone to yellow leaves, with less flowering period and short flowering period, which is easy to turn green ... So most of Anthurium andraeanum on the market are small and medium-sized seedlings.

Other plants are aged from above, and Anthurium is just the opposite. We should cut off the redundant pseudobulb below, leaving the top of pseudobulb (preferably with aerial rooting buds), dry the incision, put it in clear water to take root, and then change it to soil culture.

In addition to reducing the old pile, you can also cut off the seedlings near the old branches and transplant them into new small flowerpots. Transplanting with pseudobulb and air root has the best effect. After transplanting seedlings 1 month, some slow-release fertilizers can be sprinkled, and they can bloom after 2-3 months, so the seedlings are very energetic.

chrysanthemum

Chrysanthemums that bloom in autumn and winter are beautiful. Chrysanthemums bloom every year, but they are not suitable for old-age piles. Every year, the branches that bloom are new, that is, the new branches bloom and the old branches do not open.

Therefore, at the end of the chrysanthemum flowering period, the flowers become disabled and the leaves become Yellowstone, so cut them quickly, just as Hua You did in the picture below. This is a pot of multi-headed Xiao Ju. After the first bloom is finished, directly shave your head and keep the nutrition, and the new branches below will come out and bloom again.

Chrysanthemum is not only not suitable for senile hemorrhoids, but also difficult for senile hemorrhoids. It is a perennial herb, which will wither in winter, just like Artemisia annua. In winter, the branches on the ground will wither, but the nutrients will flow back to the roots and stay dormant, so there is no need to reverse their growth laws.

The so-called old piles of chrysanthemums we saw in the flower market were mostly grafted on the old piles of Artemisia annua, or the illusion of hollowing out seeds with dead wood. If you just like to admire chrysanthemums, plant seedlings in pots in spring, or cut chrysanthemums in April-May, it is possible to blossom that autumn.

sunflower

Some flower friends want to challenge to make an old pile of sunflowers, which is quite creative, but flowers should also remind everyone that sunflowers are not suitable for making old piles. First, I am afraid of the cold, which will freeze to death below 0 degrees in winter. Second, old piles are not easy to bloom.

There are mainly two kinds of sunflowers, one is the sunflower born in 1 year, and it is also the most common sunflower that can bear seeds (stamens are obvious and can be pollinated and seeded). Just collect seeds in this autumn and sow them in spring.

There is also a perennial sunflower. This kind of flower is not obvious, and most of them are double petals. It can't pollinate and sow. You should keep warm in winter. Generally, it is necessary to enter the room at about 10 degree, cut off the branches that are too long at the top, leave thick branches, and control the water and keep the temperature above 2 degrees for winter.

Even for perennial varieties, the old pile in the first year is reserved for one variety. After the new branches grow in the second year, they can be cut and propagated. The main force of flowering is the new branches, and the old piles will gradually dry up and die. Even if it is carefully maintained, the quality of flowering will be greatly reduced.

pelargonium

The vitality of geranium can last about 1-3 years. The faster and more serious lignification is, the faster and more serious the vitality is weakened. If you like geraniums very much, you should be prepared to breed.

When the main stem of geranium begins to change into Huang Shi, it is a symbol of lignification. In order to slow down lignification, water it on time. Too dry will accelerate lignification. Pruning should also be done regularly. Pruning can be carried out at a temperature above 10, preferably after flowering. Pruning is not recommended when summer is high or winter is low.

If the old pile of geraniums is too long, that is, the lignified branches are too long, it will directly affect flowering, making it difficult to bloom, reducing flowering and easily dying. After lignification, the root system is weak, the branches are brittle, the water is less yellow, the water is more rotten, the roots are hot and dead, and freezing to death at low temperature is more dangerous than seedlings.

Therefore, it is best to learn to cut geraniums. Spring and autumn are cutting seasons, and the temperature is 15-26 degrees. It is best to cut thick green branches, cut them to dry, and cut them with sand, vermiculite and perlite. Some geraniums also bear seeds and can be planted in spring and autumn.

Maekawa

Some flower friends control money strings by raising fleshy old piles. Although it is also a kind of meat pile, it is not suitable for pension pile, and it can be "controlled" to death if it is not careful.

Money strings are always full of leaves. Whoever raises a money-oriented string with many leaves and full leaves is beautiful. Therefore, the method of raising money strings is different from other fleshy ones. First of all, it is mixed soil. Don't put too much granular soil. It is best to use nutrient soil and mix clean sand with110 to improve air permeability and stability.

Then there is watering. Other fleshy meat can be controlled. It doesn't matter if you water less or forget to water occasionally, but it's best to water the money string on time when the flowerpot becomes lighter. When the soil is dry, water it in time so that the cut leaves will not wither. Sprinkle some slow-release fertilizer in spring and autumn.

In addition, the money string should be basked in the sun. Sunbathing can make the water circulation in the basin healthier, not suitable for rotten roots and leaves. It can also make the leaves of the money string fuller and better looking. Long strings of money should also be trimmed and cut off in time to avoid too heavy a burden on the branches at the roots.

Holiday cactus

Crab claw orchids on the market are all native, piled up in a small pot. When watering, pay attention to watering along the edge of the basin, and don't pour it into the gap to avoid rotten roots and stems. Young self-rooted crabs are still like this, and it is more difficult to raise after aging.

Because root crabs are generally raised for 2-3 years, there are signs of aging, that is, the stems near the roots begin to lignify. After aging, the leaves at the top of the crab claw orchid will become thinner, and it is difficult to transport nutrients and water because of the weak root system, so it is difficult to bloom.

But some old self-rooted crabs can't transport nutrients, so they can spray foliar fertilizer. Generally, at the end of September-165438+ 10, spraying potassium dihydrogen phosphate solution on the leaves, especially on the front and back of the top leaves, can remove the top leaflets and leave healthy big leaves to bloom.

It is also difficult to maintain the aging self-rooted crab at ordinary times. After all, the crab claw orchid is too easy to rot. Because of this, many people choose to cut or graft leaves. Generally speaking, cactus, pitaya column and Xian Ye are used for grafting. The specific skills will be discussed in detail later.
