Autumn and winter planting: monitor soil moisture and sow at the right time
Expert interpretation: Standardized wheat tillage and sowing techniques. The standard for planting wheat well means that after sowing, wheat emerges promptly, with complete, even and strong seedlings, no visible or hidden clods in the plow layer, firm soil, and suitable soil moisture. In the Huang-Huai-Hai region, before winter it should reach the 5-leaf 1-heart or 6-leaf 1-heart stage, with 5-8 secondary roots per plant, and the total stem number per mu before winter should reach 1.5-1.8 times the planned ear number. For a county as a whole, more than 85% of wheat fields should meet the standards for first- and second-class seedlings, and after pre-winter and winter management, first- and second-class seedlings should reach 90% in early spring. With such seedling conditions, management before winter, in spring and in the later period is all proactive, laying the seedling foundation for a bumper wheat harvest.

How to grow and cultivate Christmas cactus (Schlumbergera), the soil should be kept moist
Summary Potting soil: choose a sandy soil that drains well, is airy, and yet retains moisture; place about 2cm of small stones at the bottom of the pot and apply base fertilizer. Watering: the soil needs to be kept moist, water every other day. Fertilizing: apply a dilute liquid fertilizer about once every 15 days, and stop fertilizing during the high-temperature period in summer. ⟦4 <p class="cintro"><span>Summary</span>Potting soil: choose a sandy soil that drains well, is airy, and yet retains moisture; place about 2cm of small stones at the bottom of the pot and apply base fertilizer. Watering: the soil needs to be kept moist, water every other day. Fertilizing: apply a dilute liquid fertilizer about once every 15 days, and stop fertilizing during the high-temperature period in summer. Light and temperature: the suitable temperature is 20-25°C, place it in a well-ventilated shaded spot. Pest and disease control: actively prevent and control red spider mite damage.</p> <p></p> <p>Christmas cactus is a beloved plant; it can effectively absorb carbon dioxide from the air and purify the air. The flower colors of Christmas cactus are divided into red, yellow, purple, orange, pink, etc., but red flowers are the most common.</p><p></p><p><strong>1. Potting soil</strong></p><p>Choose a sandy soil that drains well, retains moisture, and is airy. You can mix sandy soil, leaf mold, compost soil, and sand in a 3:4:2:1 ratio to make a soil suitable for Christmas cactus growth. When planting in a pot, you can place about 2cm of small stones at the bottom of the pot, then spread a layer of thin soil, then sprinkle some decomposed chicken manure, bone meal, and hoof and horn shavings on the thin soil as base fertilizer, then add another thin layer of potting soil over the base fertilizer. Then place the Christmas cactus in the center of the pot, add the previously prepared soil to maintain the original depth, then press the soil firmly. After watering thoroughly, place it in a semi-shaded spot.</p><p></p><p><strong>2. Watering</strong></p><p>Christmas cactus likes to grow in a semi-shaded, moist environment, and during its growing period the soil should be kept moist. You can water once a day or every other day, and you can spray from top to bottom to wet the plant. About every 4 days you can water the soil thoroughly. This kind of watering can maintain the moisture level of the soil without becoming too dry or too wet. Christmas cactus has two periods when growth stops: after flowering and during the high temperatures of summer. At these times, water appropriately, and water thoroughly only after the soil has dried out. During high temperatures, you can spray water, which can lower the temperature, but be careful not to water at noon, when moisture evaporates relatively quickly.</p><p></p><p><strong>3. Fertilizing</strong></p><p>During the growing period of Christmas cactus, apply a dilute liquid fertilizer about once every 15 days. You can mix 30 grams of potassium fertilizer, 15 grams of nitrogen fertilizer, and 20 grams of phosphorus fertilizer. During the high-temperature period in summer, fertilizing can be stopped. In autumn, you can fertilize Christmas cactus every week, which can provide sufficient nutrients and help flower bud formation, while in winter you can spray a 1000-fold potassium dihydrogen phosphate liquid fertilizer on the leaf surface once a week.</p><p></p><p><strong>4. Light and temperature</strong></p><p>During the growing period, Christmas cactus should be placed in a well-ventilated shaded spot. By mid-October, Christmas cactus has already produced flower buds, and it can be moved indoors or placed in a spot with ample sunlight to avoid frost. The suitable growing temperature for Christmas cactus is 20°C-25°C. If the temperature is above 22°C, place Christmas cactus in a ventilated shaded spot. In winter, the indoor temperature for Christmas cactus needs to be maintained above 10°C, because when the temperature is above 35°C or below 2°C, the plant will stop growing.</p><p></p><p><strong>5. Pest and disease control</strong></p><p>In hot weather, red spider mites are most likely to occur and spread. Small yellow-brown spots will appear on the stems, and in severe cases the stem color will turn yellow and cause wilting. Red spider mites are most likely to appear when there is no ventilation. If only a few are found, they can be washed off with clean water. In severe cases, you can spray a 0.2-degree lime sulfur mixture or a 40% dicofol emulsifiable concentrate 2000-fold solution.</p>
