First, good color introduction
This lucky flower blooms at the top or middle of the plant, with lush leaves and bright colors, which is very festive. The leaves are broadband and dark green. Spikes are conical with dense bracts and yellow tips. Because the top of this bromeliad plant is covered with red flowers, it is named after the lucky light, which means good luck. Its flower language is perfect. In people's eyes, lottery is an auspicious and noble flower.
Haocai is a flower of the pineapple family. Among the varieties of pineapple, it is an ornamental pineapple. As an ornamental pineapple, Lucky Lottery can release oxygen at night. In most plants, the stomata are open during photosynthesis during the day, and at night, the plants go to sleep and the stomata are closed.
However, bromeliads are just the opposite. This phenomenon is called Sedum acid metabolism in botany. In this way, Curiosity can inhale a lot of carbon dioxide and release oxygen at night. Therefore, putting a pot of lottery at home is equivalent to having the oxygen of a family. Haocai is a very beautiful indoor potted flower. You can enjoy flowers and leaves. With its rosette-like plant type, bright ear color and long flowering period, it has gradually become the "darling" of flower market. In particular, its bright red gives people an active feeling, especially suitable for people who like energy. Moreover, the lottery can be said to be a wonderful flower, which shows that the owner has high taste. Cooperate with home decoration, breed and add a beautiful scenery. Imagine how pleasant it is to see beautiful flowers every day.
A pot of good lottery can bring you happiness and good luck. Second, the breeding methods in good luck
1. Selection of soil: Good color requires that the soil is rich in humus, loose and fertile, good in air permeability and drainage, and slightly acidic (pH 5 ~ 5.5). The culture soil should be 6 parts of humus soil (or peat soil) and 4 parts of river sand, and mixed with 3% ~ 5% of decomposed chicken manure or cake fertilizer.
2. Potting method: Before potting, granular materials such as pebbles, broken bricks and coarse sand with a thickness of 2 cm can be filled at the bottom of the pot to facilitate ventilation and drainage of roots. The leaves of Cloverleaf are very fragile, so be careful when you put them in the pot. Generally, pots with a diameter of 13 ~ 15 cm are selected for the upper pot, and the planting depth shall be based on not exposing the roots. Water and water the pot immediately after putting it away, and maintain it in the shade at 20 ~ 30℃. After restoring growth, it can be transferred to routine management. Potted good colors are changed every 1 ~ 2 years. After 3 ~ 4 years of potted plants, the old plants gradually shrink or dry up after flowering, so the plants should be propagated and updated every 3 ~ 4 years.
3. Watering method: Haocai likes humid environment, and needs to maintain high air humidity and sufficient soil moisture during the growing period. The basin soil is moist, and the air humidity is 70% ~ 80%. Generally 5 ~ 7 days 1 time. Hard-leaved tree species with less water demand have dry surface of basin soil; For soft-leaved tree species that need more water, it is advisable to keep the basin soil moist frequently, and the topsoil should not be dry; Always keep water in the leaf tube. If the leaf tube is short of water, it is easy to cause plant wilting. If the air humidity is below 70%, spray mist on the leaves to increase the air humidity.
4. Fertilization method: In the growing season, liquid fertilizer is generally applied every 10 ~ 20 days, and fermented cake fertilizer or chemical fertilizer is generally used. Nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium (1:1) is usually used as chemical fertilizer, and its concentration is 0. 1% ~ 2.3%. It can be used for potted soil or sprayed on leaves. When applying fertilizer, it is forbidden to apply fertilizer in the leaf tube in the center of the plant to avoid harm. Fertilization should be stopped during flowering, dormancy and summer.
5. Pest control: Most lottery tickets have the ability to resist pests and diseases.
But it is also harmed by pests and diseases. The disease is mainly Fusarium. It can be controlled with 75% chlorothalonil 500 times solution or 50% carbendazim 500 times solution. Insect pests mainly include scale insects and red spiders. Spraying 1: 2 mixture of trichlorfon and dimethoate 1500 ~ 2000 times, spraying 1 time for 7 days and spraying for 3 times continuously can control scale insects; Spiders can be controlled with dicofol 800 ~ 1000 times, and sprayed every 10 ~ 15 days/time. Third, lottery protection.
Haocai doesn't need fertilization at the flowering stage, so it is necessary to cut off the flowers in time and replenish fertilizer after flowering. Water-soluble fertilizer can also be poured into the leaf cup with water, but other fertilizers such as cake fertilizer and granular fertilizer should not be applied in the leaf cup. When a small plant grows, it can be cut off from the mother plant with a sharp knife and planted separately. Generally, old plants will not bloom again, and they can be used as mother plants to breed new plants in the future.
Haocai only blooms once in a lifetime, and after flowering, one or several buds will grow at the base of the old plant, so it is not advisable to divide the plant prematurely. Otherwise, it is not easy to survive.
The method of plant segmentation is: firstly, cut off the flower stem from the base, then leave the leaves of the old plant 5 ~ 8 cm, and remove all the rest, so that the leaves just form a cylindrical water storage at the base, and don't hurt the buds when cutting. When the height of the bud is about 10 cm, cut it gently from the junction of the bud and the mother plant with a sharp knife, plant the bud into the pot soil made of humus soil, and after a year of careful maintenance, the gorgeous flowers can bloom again. Auspicious flowers usually bloom after three years of planting, but it is difficult to bear fruit after flowering. Usually, it is propagated by dividing plants, and the pots are turned over in spring to change the soil and divide plants. Cut off the sucking buds at the base of the plant, flatten the incision, plant it on the plain sand, and put a plastic bag over the mouth of the basin to keep warm and moist. Rooting is fast at 25℃ in a cool and ventilated place. Sphagnum can be planted alone, or it can be prepared from humus soil, Sphagnum, peat soil, vermiculite, river sand, etc. In short, it is loose and transparent. During the growing period, the basin soil should be kept moist, the surrounding environment should be kept high humidity, and the foliage should be sprayed with water for proper shade. The dilute solution of NPK compound fertilizer can be applied once a week or directly to the leaf tube. During the winter dormancy period, pay attention to proper water control and only spray water on the leaves to keep the environment clean and the air fresh.
Under normal circumstances, as long as the maintenance place is properly lit and watered, good lottery is very easy to raise. In addition, try to avoid trivial matters when watering, so as not to cause rot. Perhaps lottery has a greater impact on the home environment, which needs to be explored by everyone. If you like, you might as well buy a pot to enjoy.
