1. Plum blossom

Proud but not vulgar

He once explored the waves and cut snow and ice. He was a noble man with lofty ideals

Plum blossom is known as the first of the four gentlemen. It blooms in the fierce cold wind. It is the most backbone flower of the Chinese nation and the representative of the national soul. The pride of plum blossom inspires generations of Chinese people to advance bravely and indomitably despite difficulties and hardships

Maintenance points of potted plum blossom:

Flowerpot:

The flowerpot is best to choose the permeable and breathable clay basin or purple sand basin, but try not to choose porcelain basin and plastic basin, which has poor air permeability

Soil:

The soil needs to be loose and breathable. It can be mixed with garden soil: Cinder: humus soil in the proportion of 4:3:3

Watering:

Potted plum blossoms should be watered dry and wet, following the principle of no drying, no watering and thorough watering. If there is no watering for a long time, the branches and leaves will wither. Don't water the big water at one time, which is easy to cause a large number of fallen leaves and even death. You can water the small water first, wait for two or three days, and then water the big water, so that it can recover slowly

Winter maintenance management:

After plum blossom leaves in winter, move it to a cold room without ice, or put it on a low-temperature balcony. Pay attention to opening windows for ventilation to make it stimulated by low temperature for a period of time. At the same time, strengthen water and fertilizer management, spray water around branches and flower pots every day to keep the air moist

2. Orchid

Quiet but not sick

Empty valley, secluded and self appreciating, fragrant and elegant, is for the virtuous in the world

Once there was a orchid in the empty valley. The orchid is most attractive because it grows in the deep valley, so it has a beautiful and fragrant posture, mild and plain. The tranquility of orchids is not only a kind of temperament of Linquan hermit, but also a beautiful quality that does not seek access to official career, fishing for fame and reputation, but only a magnanimous mind

Key points of orchid maintenance:

Temperature:

Generally speaking, the suitable growth temperature of orchids is 25 ~ 30 degrees, and there are slight differences in the temperature of different varieties of orchids

Moisture:

Watering is one of the important links in orchid cultivation and management. The ancients believed that beginners must "accumulate three years of work" in watering orchids. It can be seen that there is a deep knowledge in watering orchids. There are no certain rules to follow in watering, which should vary according to weather, season, variety and other factors

Soil:

We should choose Tile pots for orchids. Generally, 2 ~ 3 clumps can be planted in a basin with a diameter of about 25 cm. Pot soil can be prepared by mixing 5 parts of rotten leaf soil, 3 parts of composted soil, 2 parts of coarse sand, or 2 parts of rotten leaf soil, 1 part of river sand and 1 part of cow dung

The bottom hole of the basin is covered with a small plastic window screen to prevent ants from building a nest and damaging the roots of orchids, and paved with broken tiles to facilitate drainage. Then lay 1.5 ~ 2 cm thick mountain mud fragments. Then put a layer of culture soil to screen the residue, and put fine culture soil on it

3. Bamboo

Light but not frivolous

Empty screen, wind and moon, natural and unrestrained life, light and light, is a modest gentleman

The stem node of Zeng bamboo represents unyielding backbone, its emptiness, modest mind, and its desolation represents an extraordinary and refined temperament. It has both the iron bone of plum blossom and the noble and clean blue and green color

Key points of maintenance:

Bamboo is generally cultivated outdoors, so it's best to have a yard. It doesn't matter if there is no yard. You can plant it in pots on the balcony, which is also a beautiful scenery. Here's how to maintain potted bamboo:

Moisture:

Bamboo likes humidity and is afraid of ponding. After filling the basin, water thoroughly for the first time, and keep the basin soil moist in the future. Do not water too much, otherwise it is easy to rot the roots. If the basin soil is short of water, the bamboo leaves will curl. At this time, it should be watered in time, and the bamboo leaves will expand again. Rain and ponding should be avoided in rainy days to prevent root rot

Fertilizer:

Bamboo likes fertilizer, but potted bamboo can't apply more fertilizer. Potted bamboo fertilizer is mainly the organic fertilizer mixed into the pot soil when loading the pot. After the bamboo survives, it is properly topdressed, "thin fertilizer is applied frequently", and 0.5% urea or 1.0% compound fertilizer is applied in spring and summer. In particular, less nitrogen fertilizer is beneficial to dwarf basin bamboo. It is not suitable to apply fertilizer during the shoot growing period

Trim:

Go old and stay young, go dense and stay sparse, go weak and stay strong. When changing pots every year, the dead branches should be properly removed to maintain a beautiful plant shape

4. Chrysanthemum

Beautiful but not charming

Ling Shuang is elegant, independent and does not tend to be inflamed. She is a hermit outside the world

Under the setting sun, on the Bank of the low fence, a cluster of chrysanthemums bloom proudly, not afraid of cold, wind and frost. It is clear and elegant, fragrant, proud of chrysanthemums, frost and cold, and proud of bones. It has always been the spiritual symbol of the cultivation of gentleman, Confucianism and Taoism

Key points of chrysanthemum curing:

Moisture:

Potted chrysanthemums should be watered in a timely and appropriate amount to prevent excessive watering from causing chrysanthemums to grow in vain and not bloom. Spray the leaves once in the morning and evening

Fertilizer:

Chrysanthemum likes fertilizer, but improper fertilization is easy to cause plant overgrowth, plant height and thin leaves. The base fertilizer is mainly phosphorus and potassium fertilizer. Fertilization should not be carried out too early. The fertilization concentration can be gradually increased from the beginning of autumn to before flowering

Timely heart picking:

Timely removal of top buds can promote the germination of lateral branches and effectively control the height of plants

Timely bud thinning:

Many axillary buds will sprout during the growth period of chrysanthemum, which need to be removed with your fingers in time to prevent nutrient consumption. During the bud pregnancy period, remove the excess buds in time and only keep the buds at the top of the branches
