1. Upside down Golden Bell cutting

I personally like the inverted Golden Bell very much and have raised many. Here I recommend to the majority of flower friends that my pots of inverted golden bell are cutted. It is best to cut the small section of 10 cm ~ 12 cm in the middle and lower part of it in spring and autumn at a temperature of more than 18-20 degrees, and retain 2 ~ 3 leaflets

I will first immerse myself in rooting water for about 20 minutes, so that the success rate of rooting is higher. After soaking, take it out to dry, and then insert it into a sterile and wet sand basin

Put the inserted Golden Bell upside down and do a good job of moisturizing it in the shade. It can take about 15-20 days to take root and sprout new leaves. In this way, it can be cultivated normally in a separate plant and pot for about 40 days

2. Soil preparation

I raise flowers with my own soil. Fortunately, when I go out, it is rotten leaf soil, which really saves a lot of things. I like to find straw to accumulate rotten leaf soil, screen out impurities, dry it for a few days, and then store it in the shade at home. This soil is very nutritious, and ordinary flowers can be used

In addition to rotten leaf soil, my soil is generally sawdust + rotten leaf soil + river sand + compound fertilizer + soil insecticide. Once the golden bell seedlings are planted, they will soon serve the pot and grow fiercely

Some common garden soil is also used, and the prepared nutrient soil is placed on the upper layer, so that the seedling length is more stable

3. Fertilizer

Many flower friends' flowers bloom less or do not bloom. I think they may be less fat. If they are mixed with soil like me, they also need to add some materials. For example, I will pad some pine balls at the bottom of the basin, which I picked up when I went out. They are breathable and fat

Another is to spray 0.25% potassium dihydrogen phosphate solution on the leaves three times a month with an interval of about 10 days before hanging the new buds and branching of jinzhongsheng upside down until flowering. In this way, your flowers will burst. Almost all the flowers in my family are so hasty

4. Ventilation and semi shade maintenance

Keep the golden bell upside down, pay attention to ventilation, and put it in a semi shady place at home to avoid exposure in summer. If there is no ventilation, it is easy to cause gray mold. At first, gray mold is only a small mildew spot, and when it is serious, the branches rot and die

5. Pruning

The upside down Golden Bell should also be properly trimmed and topped, the lateral buds should be removed, and the branches should be properly pulled to trim the over dense branches, inner bore branches, overgrown branches, weak branches, sick and dead branches. After pruning, it is easy to send more branches and burst pots, so don't be reluctant

6. Insect disease

Like many flowers, golden bells hanging upside down are prone to insects. I'm a fruit farmer. I've seen a lot of insects. I'm very professional in killing insects. Almost all flowers can use methods. Here I'll say more for your reference

Observation: at noon, when the temperature is high and the light is strong, insects move more frequently. At this time, it is easy to see what insects are making trouble by observing the back of flowers and leaves

Insecticidal time: no matter what kind of insecticide is sprayed, it is best to evenly spray the positive and negative sides of the flower leaves after 5:00 p.m. without dripping water. Spraying only once can not be repeated, because at this time, the temperature is low and there is no light, the pests take a long time to absorb drugs and are prone to poisoning and death. In addition, the drugs are not easy to volatilize, which can effectively kill insects

I've tried many ways to kill insects, bought a lot of drugs and made my own pesticides. Here are two most effective ones:

a. Homemade detergent insecticide

Before killing insects with neutral washing powder, add boiled water to dissolve, but not cold water, because cold water cannot dissolve the particles of washing powder. Once the particles adhere to the plant leaves for 3 ~ 5 days, necrotic spots will appear, and in serious cases, the whole leaves will be burned or even fall off

boiling water plus detergent powder after mixing evenly, then cool down, then add the required amount of water to spray mist, add water: 0.5g washing powder + water 400G, I first turn the detergent and add water, you can also use the water for once. p>

Spray the washing powder water directly on the back of the leaves. Don't pour it into the soil. The washing powder water will stimulate the roots. Pay attention to this, or your flowers will be killed by you again

b. Buy pesticides

I think imidacloprid and abamectin are still effective. Before spraying, first see its instructions, mix it with water according to the instructions, put it into the spray can, and then spray it on the insect leaves. If the aphid is poisoned for half an hour to about an hour, some of them will have their hips cocked up, and the red spider will slowly change from red to black

Two hours after spraying, you can also spray the leaves with water to wash the residual drugs, and then move them to a cool and ventilated place for curing for a few days to avoid burning, scorched and rolling leaves

7. Change Basin

Another point is to change the basin. It's best to change the basin once a year. Nutrition is generally no problem. I didn't choose the season to change the basin. Recently, I changed the basin, but it's difficult to wear the basin in summer. I suggest you'd better change to the big basin with the soil

8. Spend summer in autumn

Hanging upside down, Jinzhong likes a semi cool environment. It can adapt to the temperature of about 18-28 degrees. If it exceeds 30 degrees, it will enter the dormancy period. Therefore, it is best to water less in summer (after the soil is dry), put it in a cool and ventilated place, and spray water on the ground around the flowerpot to moisturize and cool down in hot weather
