Geranium florescence

Now the technology is relatively advanced. Many geraniums don't bloom at the regular time. Although the flowering period is from May to June, the actual situation in the north and south of the river is different

Here are the flowering time of geraniums from flower friends in different regions. You can refer to it:

1. Northeast: in February (with heating), Geranium began to bloom

2. Shanghai: Geranium (royal family) blooms in March

3. Guangdong: Geranium blooms from the end of March to the end of May

4. Zhenjiang, Jiangsu: Geranium began to bloom in mid April

5. Huangshan, Anhui: cutting in October of the first year and flowering at the end of April of the second year

Not flowering, flowering less

Some flower friends' geraniums don't bloom for a long time, or just bloom a few. At this time, you can urge the flowers appropriately:

1. Bask in the sun

Geraniums like light. Sometimes the leaves cover the flower buds and bud points, resulting in no flowering or less flowering. At this time, don't worry and be bold to bask in the sun in an all-round way

2. Vernalization

In the south, the temperature difference between day and night is small, and vernalization is difficult to complete. Huahua suggested that the geranium be "frozen" outdoors at night, and then exposed to the sun during the day. It is cold and hot. It blooms immediately after vernalization

3. Watering law

Watering is irregular, water is less, and most of the water may not bloom. Water once 3-5 days before flowering. Be regular. Don't fish for three days and dry the net for two days~

4. Maintain fertility

Insufficient fertility will definitely affect flowering, and excessive fertilization, especially excessive nitrogen fertilizer, will cause excessive growth of branches and leaves, no flowering or less flowering, and poor flowering quality

If the fertility is not enough, add some scale potash fertilizer. You can buy phosphorus potash fertilizer directly or add bone meal and dry soybean residue. If the fertility is too much, you can change the soil directly~

Mid flowering

In addition to taking beautiful photos, flower friends who are blooming geraniums at home should also pay attention to the following points in order to keep the flowers healthy and energetic:

1. High temperature shade, cloudy and rainy shelter

The weather has changed a lot recently. The flowering period of geranium is relatively fragile. The high temperature (more than 30 degrees) will be shaded. Don't wilt in the sun

Try to take shelter from the rain when it rains. The rain will affect the flowering period. If the flowering period becomes shorter, it will be even worse if you accumulate moisture

2. Remove residual flowers and yellow leaves

Timely remove the remaining flowers, yellow leaves and weak branches, and cut them 3-4cm away from the first leaf under the flower stalk, so as to preserve nutrients and facilitate the growth of new flowers

Do not throw the dead leaves of the picked branches into the flowerpot as much as possible, which will affect the air permeability of the pot soil and breed insects

3. Xiaobao, yellow leaf, dry leaf

There are five situations that can cause the geranium to lose its bracts, yellow leaves and dry leaves, which can be solved easily. Don't panic:

a. High temperature yellow and white leaves:

If the temperature is too high, it will affect the root system to absorb iron from the soil, and iron deficient yellow and white leaves will appear in new flower buds and leaves. At this time, shade quickly

b. Environmental change, adaptation period:

Most of the seedlings bought will be yellow leaves when they are brought back. At this time, they will be placed on the balcony and windowsill with semi shade ventilation to control the water. Just wait for 3-5 days

c. Lack of water and excessive water

If you find that the basin soil is dry, you should water it. You need more water during the flowering period, but you are afraid of waterlogging. Just water it once every 3-4 days

The leaves and roots are easy to rot after being exposed to rain and water. At this time, control the water quickly, otherwise the rotten roots will be miserable after being wet

d. Diseases and insect pests

Geranium is generally resistant to cultivation, and there are few diseases and pests. We can guard against the following three kinds: gray mold, rust and bacterial leaf spot

If it is found that bad leaves are removed after getting sick, avoid spraying when watering, so as to prevent bacteria from infecting other leaves with water drops. You can wipe the leaves with carbendazim solution (1:1000) to kill and sterilize them

At ordinary times, it's best to put the geranium in a dry and ventilated place to prevent bacteria from breeding, so as to keep healthy
