Full picture of potted begonia flowers (suitable for domestic begonia flowers)
1. Malus sativus
Radish begonia actually has a very "fairy" name, cyclamen. Because when it blooms, clusters of petals look like rabbit ears, so it is also called rabbit ear flower. It is called radish begonia because its root has a bulb like radish. This bulb is the life foundation of radish begonia. Although it is not a real root system, it stores a lot of water and nutrients. If the bulbs rot, the life of this radish begonia will come to an end.
Therefore, the maintenance of radish begonia is basically carried out around bulbs. First of all, radish begonia likes fertile and loose soil, and try to use humus soil such as pine needle soil and humus soil when maintaining it. If the soil is not prepared by yourself, the proportion of coarse materials such as river sand or vermiculite to improve drainage should be larger, and attention should be paid to changing the soil in time if there is alkali.
Radish begonia is suitable to be raised in a ventilated environment with sufficient scattered light, and can be placed in the shade of tall flowers and trees when it is maintained outdoors in early summer. Pay attention to the frequency of watering, because the radish seed ball itself contains some water, so it will not be a problem to wilt temporarily, and it will return to a stiff state after watering. However, too much watering is not good for the growth of seed bulbs, especially when the soil with poor drainage is used, which is especially easy to make the seed bulbs rot.
In June and July, with the gradual increase of temperature, the stems and leaves on the ground of radish begonia began to wither gradually, and the plants entered a dormant state. At this time, it is even more necessary to control the watering frequency to ensure that they are not completely dry after moving indoors. Wait until the weather is cool in June 5438+ 10, and then gradually resume watering after the flower buds reappear to receive scattered light. In fact, with the current living standard, if the indoor temperature can reach 15℃ or above in winter, the radish begonia can be guaranteed to bloom all the time.
2. Begonia tigris
Pingyi sweet tea is what we often say, because its branches are dark, so it is also called Pingyi sweet tea, which is a typical Euphorbiaceae plant. Euphorbiaceae plants generally don't bloom beautifully, but Rosa davurica is an exception. Although its flowers are small, they can't support a large number and have a long flowering period. As long as the temperature is right, Rosa davurica can bloom all year round, which is really rare among many flowers and plants.
The maintenance of Rosa davurica is extremely simple, and the key points are two points: flood control and antifreeze. Flood prevention mainly starts with soil preparation and water control. When preparing soil, just use ordinary garden soil mixed with river sand, which is not only difficult to accumulate water, but also can fix plants. As for watering, it can be decided according to the dryness of the soil surface. Rosa davurica is extremely drought-tolerant, so it is not too late to wait until the surface of the basin soil is completely dry before watering. For antifreeze, I believe that all flower friends should have no problem. After all, the living standard has improved a lot now. Even in winter, with the help of heating or air conditioning, the indoor temperature will not be too low.
Rosa davurica likes light and heat. Only sufficient light and suitable temperature can make the Rosa davurica fruit bloom more brightly. Many flower lovers may be afraid that Rosa davurica will not be exposed to the sun in summer, but they are worried. Rosa davurica fruit can be exposed outdoors in summer, and the longer it is exposed, the better it will grow. Green glass has raised the tiger thorn plum for so many years, and many flowers have died, but only the tiger thorn plum has not died. This kind of flower is really suitable for novice flower lovers.
3. Four Seasons Begonia
Begonia four seasons is a kind of begonia, which is very common in the south. It is often raised as a flower bed or green flower. It can be used to enjoy flowers and leaves. Although the flowers are small, they are very bright in color, and then lined with the leaves of begonia in the four seasons, reddish brown or emerald green, which really has some amorous feelings.
In fact, begonia is also suitable for potted plants in the north, as long as the soil is slightly acidic or neutral. We can use fertile pine needle soil, humus soil, mountain mud and peat soil to maintain it, or we can raise it well. However, the soil and water in most parts of the north are alkaline, and it is easy to get saline-alkali when watering flowers with tap water for a long time, which is a big taboo for the growth of begonia. Many flower friends complain that begonia is difficult to raise here.
In order to prevent this phenomenon, flower friends can take advantage of rainy days and try to move flower pots outdoors to receive rainwater irrigation, because rainwater is not only acidic water, but also can wash away excess saline-alkali components in the basin soil. If the rain is insufficient, it can also be watered with cold boiled water or leftover tea leaves, which can also alleviate the phenomenon of flooding.
4.rieger begonia
Rieger begonia is also a kind of begonia, and is known as one of the most beautiful begonia. Its colorful flowers and green tender leaves set each other off, making this flower very popular in the flower market in recent years. In particular, the flowering period of Rieger Begonia is just before and after the Spring Festival, and the flowering period is short. Rieger Begonia is also raised as a New Year flower by many flower friends, and its festive colors can add to the festive atmosphere.
However, many flower friends have a lot of complaints about Rieger Begonia, because Rieger Begonia is too difficult to raise. Usually they don't live more than a year, especially in summer. Even if there are no wounds on the branches and leaves, Rieger Begonia often rots, turning into water from the roots, and then the whole plant dies, not to mention the wounds, and dies faster. Li Qing didn't know this before. She wanted to cut Rieger Begonia in summer, but the cuttings didn't survive and the mother plant died, which really made people angry and helpless.
In fact, the difficulty of raising Rieger begonia is also determined by its growth habits. The optimum growth temperature is only between 15-25℃, and when it exceeds 30℃, the incidence of black rot increases sharply. I believe that many flower friends can't meet the conditions alone. In addition, Rieger Begonia also needs loose, fertile, breathable acid soil, soft light and other conditions, so it is difficult to survive for a long time under general family conditions. No wonder many flower friends have nicknamed it "Summer will die".
5. Begonia
Begonia is one of the "giants" in begonia. Compared with the delicate four-season begonia and Rieger begonia, the bamboo begonia is tall and has much larger leaves. Although it is not as beautiful as Rieger Begonia, it has a momentum that Rieger Begonia can't compare with. Its spikes emerge from the axils of leaves like grapes and bloom one after another. The branches and leaves are tall, the flowers are beautiful, and they have certain shade tolerance. Haitang is also a "resident beauty" in the study or office of many flower friends.
Compared with Rieger begonia, the maintenance of bamboo begonia is too easy. First of all, regarding planting soil, Rieger Begonia has to use humus soil with good fertility and porosity, while Japanese Begonia has to use ordinary sand. Secondly, the most criticized shortcomings of Rieger begonia, such as heat intolerance and narrow growth temperature range, are not obvious in Japanese begonia. Although Begonia likes cool flowers and plants, even if the temperature rises to about 30℃, Begonia will only grow stagnant, and there will be no such situation as Rieger Begonia.
It is precisely because of these advantages that many flower friends have many years or even decades of old piles of begonia. Imagine how tall a plant is with wide leaves. What kind of amorous feelings would it be if there were red flowers between the leaves? Moreover, there are many ways to breed begonia, whether it is pruning, leaf cutting or sowing, the survival rate is not bad. Let's improve it as soon as possible.
Ok, the introduction of these five kinds of "begonia" ends here. If you have other opinions or suggestions, please leave a valuable message in the comments section.
