Transplanting time of Echinacea

Generally, the seedlings can be transplanted when they grow to about 10 cm

Preparation of Echinacea before transplanting

Before transplanting Echinacea, we should prepare and fertilize the land, and apply 2500-3000 kg of rotten chicken manure, cow manure and cage fertilizer per mu

Before transplanting, the seedlings should be sterilized to reduce and avoid the spread of bacteria after transplanting. Usually, on the day before transplanting, spray 600 times of 75% chlorothalonil wettable powder once, and the seedlings can rise the next day

Loose and fertile mixed soil and culture soil shall be used for basin soil

Specific steps for transplanting Echinacea

When lifting the seedlings, the seedlings shall be dug out together with the roots and soil to minimize the damage to the roots of the seedlings, so as to improve the survival rate after transplanting

When planting, select the number of plants according to the size of the flowerpot, generally 3-5

Dig a small hole in the basin with a shovel, put the seedlings in and then straighten them, then fill them with the surrounding soil, compact the soil by hand, and then pour water once to ensure the survival of the seedlings

Management of Echinacea after transplanting

After transplanting, Echinacea needs to pick the heart once in the early stage of growth to promote branching

Don't water too much. Master the principle of seeing dry and seeing wet. Water it once every 10 days or so. When the air humidity is high in plum rain season, water should be controlled

Echinacea grows rapidly after transplanting. Nitrogen fertilizer should be supplemented in time. Generally, the first topdressing should be carried out 20 days after transplanting, and diluted liquid fertilizer should be used to promote growth. Fertilize once a week when flower buds are formed, and sprinkle clean water after each fertilization to prevent fertilizer from sticking to the plant

The cultivation is generally carried out in the greenhouse and placed in the sunny place with good ventilation. The minimum temperature shall not be lower than 10 ℃ and proper shading is required in summer
