There is an open space at home, and planting a gourd in April means good ornamental value. How to plant and manage?

It's almost the solar term in Grain Rain. Here in Jinzhou, Shijiazhuang, where Sister Rong is located, there is an old saying called "Before and after Grain Rain, we planted melons and beans". This is because in Grain Rain, the temperature has obviously increased a lot, and the temperature is suitable for the germination and growth of melon beans. Friends who have open space at home can plant a gourd in the meantime. When the gourd is ripe, many gourds will be hung at home, which means good. Why do you say that?

Here in Jinzhou, Shijiazhuang, where Rong Jie is located, there is an old saying that "the gourd hangs at home and the financial resources roll in." And there are some sayings about the number of gourds hanging at home. If it is a gourd, it is Fulu. Two gourds are yes-men. Four gourds, that is, getting rich in four seasons, etc. This is because the gourd has a good meaning of blessing, and the belly of the gourd is relatively large, so there is a meaning of all rivers flowing into the sea. In addition to hanging the gourd at home, it can also be placed on the windowsill, because there is a saying that "the gourd presses the windowsill and the financial resources roll in."

Through these proverbs, we can see how much people like gourds. Then how can we manage to grow gourds at home to grow well?

There is a clever trick to sow gourd.

When planting gourd in April, it is necessary to soak the gourd seeds in clear water, because the gourd seeds are hard, and if they are not soaked in advance, they are not easy to germinate, resulting in lack of seedlings or no emergence.

We put the gourd seeds in warm water at 20℃ for 2 ~ 3 days, and then plant them in the soil after the gourd seeds swell. When planting gourd, you need to add some decomposed manure, then mix it with soil repeatedly and evenly, and then add some water. When the water is dry, burying 2 ~ 3 soaked gourds in it can improve the emergence rate. If the temperature is low, it needs to be covered with plastic film to prevent the gourd seeds from rotting.

And when planting gourds, it is best to plant them in sunny places, because gourds like sunny environments. If the sunshine is not too much, it can also be planted on the east and west sides, and it can have half a day's light to make the gourd grow well.

Pay attention to watering.

After the gourd seedlings emerge, wait until the soil is dry before watering. If it is too dry, the gourd is prone to red spiders or aphids. Once these pests appear, the leaves of the gourd will fall off, causing the gourd to wither and die. How do you usually water it?

After the gourd is planted, the soil needs watering after it dries. If the soil is too dry, the gourd will not sprout easily. It will even make the gourd buds dry and wither. After the gourd emerges, the soil is dried and watered. Moreover, after the soil is dry, loosen the soil to prevent soil hardening and slow growth of gourd seedlings. After the gourd is formed, the soil should be moist, but no water should be accumulated to prevent the roots from rotting. Wet soil can not only make the gourd grow rapidly, but also reduce the occurrence of pests.

Don't fertilize too much

When the gourd grows, it will bear many gourds, so it needs more nutrition. However, the gourd is a shallow-rooted plant, so it should not be fertilized with raw fertilizer or concentrated fertilizer, nor should it be applied with too much fertilizer at one time to prevent the gourd from burning its roots. So how do we need to fertilize?

There is no need to apply too much fertilizer at the seedling stage of gourd, because the seedlings are relatively small, and it is easy to hurt them when applying fertilizer. After the gourd grows vigorously, applying NPK compound fertilizer 1: 1: 1 every 20 ~ 30 days can make the gourd grow more vigorously, bear more melons and grow bigger.

Geihulu fruits and vegetables

After the fruit of the gourd, it is necessary to remove the gourd with incorrect fruit shape, the gourd with disease and the gourd planted too densely to prevent the gourd from growing too much and not growing.

If you like cucurbitaceae plants, it is ok to plant them at a proper density, but you need to increase the amount of fertilizer to prevent cucurbitaceae plants from becoming nutritionally deficient and wilting.

Set up scaffolding

Gourd belongs to vines, which is one of the reasons why people like it, because it has the meaning of continuing future generations. When planting gourds, you need to put up a shelf. A gourd can grow a big shelf. Therefore, when putting up a shelf for the gourd, you need to put up a bigger shelf, because only when the shelf is big and the vines of the gourd grow much longer will more gourds grow.

Conclusion: Grain Rain is coming. During this period in April, there is an open space at home where a gourd can be planted, because the gourd not only has high ornamental value, but also has a beautiful meaning. The gourd hanging on the windowsill at home has a beautiful meaning. Moreover, the planting method of gourd is very simple, and it can be easily done in a few simple steps. Friends who like gourds, plant them quickly!
