Is five-petal plum suitable for breeding at home? (Five-petal plum cultivation methods and precautions)
Periwinkle is also very drought-tolerant. When planting, you only need to deal with the drainage problem of the flower soil, and watering is extremely simple. As long as it is done "don't dry it, don't water it, then water it thoroughly". There is a lot of flexibility in watering periwinkles. Plants that prefer moisture are tall and have large leaves. Plants that tend to be dry are short and have short branches, but they can bloom more. In summer, it's okay to wait until the leaves are wilted and drooping slightly before watering.
Five-petal plum: also known as four-season plum, also known as daily spring, daily new, spring flower, periwinkle, four-season spring, five-petal plum, wild goose red, bloom every day, etc.
Five-petal plum is easier to raise because it is the most drought-tolerant and flowering variety among all flowers.
You can grow plum blossoms at home, but do not place them in the living room. As the old saying goes, plum blossoms have four virtues and five blessings. This is consistent with the five elements in Feng Shui. It is better to plant them in the courtyard.
Plum blossoms are often kept in the study room or living room. The red plums are bright and the white plums are noble and have high ornamental value. So, how to raise five-petal plums at home to grow well?
First, maintenance environment:
Periwinkle prefers an environment with sufficient light and high temperature, and has good ability to adapt to the environment. Therefore, it is planted in both the north and south, and is very popular. Easy to survive.
The maintenance is very casual. Except for the temperature below zero in winter and the high temperature of more than 38 degrees Celsius in summer, it can be maintained in an environment with sufficient light.
It should be noted here that potted plants and ground plants have different tolerance levels. The best curing temperature is between 10 and 35 degrees Celsius.
It is easy to raise periwinkles, but if you want to bloom more, you must keep the ambient temperature above 22 degrees Celsius, and the lighting time is preferably more than 8 hours to bloom more.
Second, planting soil:
The root system of periwinkle is semi-succulent, but it is very developed and has high adaptability to soil. It can grow well in slightly acidic soil and neutral soil, but potted periwinkles are limited by the lack of flower soil and less space in the flower pot.
To give the soil the best physical properties, it is recommended to use mixed soil. Mix 1/3 of pastoral soil + humus soil + river sand to plant periwinkles.
Third, watering is reasonable:
Periwinkle is also very drought-tolerant. When planting, you only need to deal with the drainage problem of the flower soil. Watering is extremely simple, as long as you do "If it doesn't dry out, don't water it, then water it thoroughly."
Periwinkles have great flexibility in watering. Plants that prefer moisture are tall and have large leaves. Plants that tend to be dry are short and have short branches, but they can bloom more. In summer, it's okay to wait until the leaves are wilted and drooping slightly before watering.
Fourth, fertilization:
Periwinkle is resistant to barrenness, but if given an appropriate amount of fertilizer and water, it can grow very lushly and bloom profusely.
When fertilizing, fertilization can be carried out as long as the temperature is not higher than 32 degrees Celsius and not lower than 10 degrees Celsius. Just bury a small amount of organic fertilizer in the flower soil by loosening the soil every month.
One month before the flowering period, or half a month after the flowers fall. The fertilizer composition can be biased towards the elements "phosphorus and potassium".
You can also follow the daily fertilization method, and then use "potassium dihydrogen phosphate" for foliar spraying. Fertilizers that favor phosphorus and potassium can promote root growth, promote flowering, and add beauty to the flowers.
