Cultivation method of shrimp coat flower

Temperature and light

Prawns like to be warm. The lowest temperature is about 5-10 ℃, and the suitable growth temperature is between 18-28 ℃. Shrimp clothes flower likes light and is more shade resistant. If the light is insufficient for a long time, the color of the bracts will become lighter, the beauty will decline, and the flowers will be less. In summer, pay attention to proper sun shading and anti exposure. The overwintering temperature of shrimps should not be lower than 16 ℃, and sufficient light should be given at the same time

Water and fertilizer

Shrimps like to be wet, so they need to keep the soil moist. During the growth period, apply organic liquid fertilizer every 10-15 days, and reasonably increase the application of phosphorus and potassium fertilizer. At the same time, they can spray potassium dihydrogen phosphate on the leaves once a week. The amount of water poured began to be reduced in mid August

Soil

It is suitable to select sandy loam rich in humus, which can be prepared from loam, rotten leaf soil and sand

Precautions for shrimp flower cultivation

During the growth period of shrimp coat flower, the heart should be picked and trimmed at any time to promote its multi branching. In addition, some Paclobutrazol or chlormequat and other drugs should be sprayed appropriately to prevent excessive growth and control the height of internode, which is conducive to promoting compact and full plant type and more flowering after autumn. After the shrimps wither, watering should be reduced and the old branches should be cut off at the same time, so as to promote them to continue to germinate and bloom again

The pot change of shrimp clothes flower is carried out every spring. Combined with pruning, about 1 / 3 is generally cut off. In order to make the plant full, you can pick the heart many times. Before and after frost, move the plants into a well ventilated light place indoors, keep the basin soil moist, and the room temperature shall not be lower than 10 ℃
