1、 Sowing time control

There are different varieties of guayeju, including early and late flowering varieties. The flowering period can be regulated by sowing time. The flowering period is different in different regions. If you are in Beijing, if you want to see the beautiful melon leaf chrysanthemum at Christmas, you should plant flowers in March on New Year's day

2、 Flower bud differentiation

In addition to the sowing time, we can also use other planting measures to delay the flowering period and promote the differentiation of flower buds. For example, in the first two weeks of its differentiation, stopping fertilization and controlling the amount of watering can promote differentiation. At this time, the temperature should be about 21 ℃ during the day and about 10 ℃ at night. Then gradually increase the amount of water to ensure sufficient sunshine. After the flower buds come out, raise the room temperature to urge the flower, and then it's OK

3、 Attention

1. Temperature

Melon leaf chrysanthemum has high requirements for temperature, with 10 to 15 degrees as the best. But its flower buds form in the cold winter, so controlling the temperature becomes extremely important. After the frost, the temperature in the shed should be kept between 4 ℃ and 16 ℃. Higher room temperature can make it blossom early, but it should be noted that if the temperature is higher than 25 ℃, the leaves are easy to curl up. If it is not handled in time, it will be not conducive to the opening of flowers

2. Humidity

Humidity control is equally important for melon and chrysanthemum. In winter, the weather is dry and dry, which usually makes its leaves wilt, which is not conducive to the growth of leaves and affects the growth of flowers. However, if the water is too much and the humidity is too high, the roots, main stems and leaves will rot, let alone bloom. Therefore, humidity control is also a knowledge

3. Fertilization

During the growth period, it is appropriate to apply fertilizer every 7 to 10 days, with about 2% light cake fertilizer and 1% nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium compound fertilizer. The alternative use of these two fertilizers has better effect and makes the flowers grow faster. It should be noted that before flowering, do not apply too much nitrogen fertilizer, control the water consumption, and the room temperature should not be too high, otherwise it will affect the flowering time
