What are the tips for the cultivation and maintenance of potted safflower?

First, the cultivation skills of potted safflower: If you want to raise a potted safflower, you must first disinfect the plant, then match the soil with the pot, and finally slowly complete the work of planting seedlings.

(1), plant selection and disinfection: In general, cutting seedling is the main way to obtain the selected plants of safflower. Choose cloudy to cloudy afternoons in spring and autumn. Select 7- 10 cm healthy plants from seedlings, prepare loose and breathable sterilized soil, and insert it into the pot soil. Keeping the temperature and humidity for about 30 days, seedlings can emerge. After emergence, select healthy seedlings without obvious pests and diseases, simply prune them, then soak the roots in water with carbendazim and dry them in the shade.

(2) Pot collocation and soil: Potted flowers in the mouth have low requirements for pot soil. As long as we grasp one principle, it is loose, breathable and well drained. Therefore, we generally choose humus soil (peat soil), organic fertilizer (bone meal, cake residue) and sand to mix evenly according to the ratio of 2: 1: 1. In order to keep the soil slightly acidic, a little calcium superphosphate can be added to improve the soil if possible. Choose this in the flowerpot. Considering that safflower potted plants can't accumulate water and can't tolerate waterlogging, ordinary plastic flowerpots and plain pottery (purple sand) pots can be used to meet the requirements of drainage and ventilation.

(3) Planting slow seedlings: Before planting, we can spread a layer of coarse sand or vermiculite on the bottom of the basin, and then put about 1/3 of the subsoil, and then put the seedlings into the basin with one hand and send the soil back to the basin with a small shovel with the other hand. When the soil returns to about 3 cm from the edge of the basin, we can straighten and compact it, and put it in the shade to slow down the seedlings after planting.

Third, the maintenance and management of potted safflower after cultivation: 1, potted safflower is not very strict under light. But in the growing period, it should be placed in a place with plenty of light, but the light should not be too violent. General normal maintenance, semi-cloudy to the environment.

2. Potted safflower is a bit strict in temperature, because it is neither resistant to high temperature nor low temperature. Born at the appropriate temperature of 15-30℃, if the temperature is too high in summer, move the basin to the shade in time and spray water to cool down. When the temperature is lower than 10℃ in winter, move the basin indoors for maintenance. And keep ventilation and light, otherwise the leaves will dry up and fall off easily.

The potted plant of safflower is pruning this piece, and the pruning work at different stages is different. For example, in the growing period, topping is the main way to control the growth height and beauty. In the molding period, old, sick, weak and dead branches should be cut off in time to keep the whole ventilation and light transmission and reduce nutrient consumption. In addition, within 10- 15 days after flowering, the residual stems should be cut off in time to reduce nutrient consumption and promote the germination of new branches.

5. Potted safflower is fertilizing. Although I like fertilizing, the amount and types of fertilizing at different stages are different. For example, in the peak season, we can use alum fertilizer and potassium dihydrogen phosphate to prepare/kloc-0 fertilizer every half month, which can promote the growth and enhance the disease resistance of the plant itself. Maintenance at ordinary times, thin fertilizer and light application, a small number of times, with the loosening. In addition, try to avoid applying fertilizer in summer, and apply a small amount of compound (phosphorus and potassium) fertilizer in 1 month before flowering in winter to keep the light and control the low temperature, so as to achieve the effect of promoting flowers.

Conclusion: Compared with other flowers, safflower potted flowers are relatively simple from cultivation to later maintenance. We only need to give enough light, control the appropriate growth temperature, prune in time, and apply fertilizer reasonably according to its growth habits. However, it should be noted that neither light nor water and fertilizer management can be excessive. In addition, ventilation should be maintained at ordinary times, and the environment should not be too wet and dry. Only the above points can be achieved. Flaming lips? See you every day.
