Which flowers are suitable for planting in spring? Cultivation precautions and management methods
Spring is the season when all things revive, and flowers are no exception. Many flower lovers choose to cultivate flowers in spring. The spring climate is mild, with appropriate rainfall, without the intense heat of summer, the desolation of autumn, or the bitter cold of winter, making it a very suitable season of the year for flower growth. Flower lovers must master spring flower cultivation techniques and manage flower growth well.
I: Cultivating new plants
1. Spring cultivation
Common petunias, cosmos, ornamental peppers, ornamental pumpkins, safflowers, morning glories, lilacs, and Aglaia odorata are all suitable for cultivation in spring. When cultivating, be sure to provide these plants with sufficient sunlight; they can be placed on a balcony for planting. If it is early spring, you must also prevent late frost, and promptly move the plants indoors to avoid the flowers being frozen.
2. Spring sowing and division
Common lilies, dahlias, spider plants, Asplenium, tiger skin cactus, lotus, clivia, blood lilies, asparagus ferns, and others can all be sown and divided in spring. When sown and divided at this time, the flowers are very easy to survive, which is beneficial to plant growth. A touch of green makes people feel joyful.
3. Greenhouse care
Epiphyllum, rat-tail cactus, night-blooming cereus, and Christmas cactus can all be grafted and cultivated in a greenhouse, allowing them to take shape and bloom as early as possible.
II. Flower management
1. Pay attention to watering
During the growth period and full flowering period of flowers, be sure not to let them lack water. You can gradually increase the amount of watering for the flowers, and you can add a little organic fertilizer to the water. Control the concentration and amount well to avoid damaging the roots. Apply thin fertilizer frequently, and the flowers can grow better!
2. Maintain ventilation
Pay attention to reducing the light exposure time for shade-tolerant plants, and be sure to keep windows open for ventilation for the flowers, so they gradually adapt to the outdoor care environment. Common cineraria, nasturtium, geraniums, and salvia need only normal ventilation for growth.
3. Regular pruning
The lower side buds of cineraria need to be pinched off, and the old leaves of lucky bamboo need to be removed to benefit the growth of new leaves. After the Christmas cactus blooms, the fleshy stems at the top can be removed, and fuchsia can be pinched to make the plant shape graceful and produce more flowers.
I believe flower lovers now have some understanding of how to cultivate and manage spring flowers. Spring flower cultivation requires timely shading, providing suitable temperatures, and paying attention to proper pruning. Flower lovers who have the conditions can cultivate flowers in a greenhouse, and do a good job in management work such as watering and fertilizing the flowers, so the flowers can bloom more beautifully!
