Cut off the branches of the dandelion after it withers

Flowering plants consume a lot of nutrients, and the growth of flowering stems will also consume nutrients in time. Therefore, when the dandelion is about to wither and has no ornamental value, the flowers and branches should be cut off in time, so as to save nutrients and promote the growth of seed balls

If there are many leaves and they have begun to wither, some dead leaves can also be properly cut off at this time, but they cannot be trimmed too heavily, so as to avoid too few branches and affect the accumulation of nutrients in the seed ball

Seed ball preservation of Paeonia

After cutting off the flower branches, the parts on the ground will gradually weaken and wither. Just put them aside and let them wither. When all parts on the ground wither, the seed ball shall be protected. There are two methods: the first is to live through the winter in the original basin directly, and the winter solstice temperature is in a cool place with a temperature of about 10 ℃; the second method is to dig out the seed ball, wrap it with newspaper and keep it in a dry and ventilated environment

During the period of raising the ball, check the condition of planting the ball once a week to avoid rotten roots or other bad phenomena. Wait until the temperature rises in spring and plant again

Planting method of dandelion in spring

Take out the preserved seed ball, cut off the rotten and blackened part, dry the wound in the shade, and then apply a layer of plant ash to prevent root rot

When choosing flowerpots and soil, it's best not to completely use the old soil of last year. However, the bottom of the basin is padded with a layer of large particle stones as drainage material, and then replaced with 1 / 3 of new soil. After disinfection, plant the seed ball

After planting the seed ball, keep it in the shade for a week to make it adapt to the new environment, and then pour root fixing water for normal maintenance
