Cineraria, also known as Thousand Days Lotus, is a beautiful ornamental plant with emerald green leaves, bright flowers and strong vitality. It can be planted in gardens and scenic spots for people to enjoy, or it can be made into potted plants and cultivated at home. However, people do not have a comprehensive understanding of the cultivation methods of Cineraria, and do not know what to pay attention to when cultivating it. Today, we will introduce this knowledge specifically, so that everyone can fully understand how to cultivate Cineraria. How to grow Cineraria1. Choose the right soil When planting cineraria in the courtyard, be sure to choose deep, fertile and well-drained soil and make it into a potted plant. When cultivating it, try to choose slightly acidic sandy soil and apply enough base fertilizer. This plant is afraid of waterlogging and drought during normal growth. Too wet or too dry soil will affect its normal growth. 2. Uniform lighting Cineraria is a light-loving plant. During normal growth, it needs plenty of sunlight. However, during the cultivation period, the plant must be evenly exposed to light and the flowerpot must be turned regularly so that its branches and leaves can receive sunlight. Otherwise, the plant shape will tilt to one side, which will affect its ornamental value. After the flowers of Cineraria fall, it is necessary to provide it with sufficient light. Only in this way can its seeds develop normally. Things to note when growing Cineraria1. Temperature regulation When growing Cineraria, you must pay attention to the fact that Cineraria is a plant that likes warmth but cannot tolerate high temperatures. It grows best in a warm environment of 15 to 20 degrees, but when the ambient temperature exceeds 21 degrees, it will grow too long, which will be detrimental to the development of flower buds and the flowering period of the plant. When the ambient temperature drops below five degrees, it will stop growing due to the low temperature, and when it drops below zero, it will suffer severe frost damage. 2. Pest and disease control Pest control is also an area that people must pay attention to when growing cineraria, because aphids and spider mites often appear during the normal growth period of cineraria. At this time, you can use a 2000-fold dilute solution of dimethoate to spray, which can eliminate the pests as soon as possible. During the normal growth period of cineraria, root rot and leaf spot are also prone to occur. After these diseases occur, reduce the number of watering and spray carbendazim on the leaves in time. |
