How to cultivate and maintain canna?

Canna is a perennial bulbous herbaceous plant. It can grow to 100-150 cm, with a fat rhizome; the above-ground stem is fleshy and not branched. The stems and leaves are broad, oblong-lanceolate or broadly elliptic. The raceme starts from the top of the stem, the petals are straight, and there are 4 stamen petals. There are many colors, including milky white, bright yellow, orange-yellow, orange-red, pink, etc.

1. Hydroponic method

(1) Method 1: Dig up the soil seedlings of canna, remove the rotten parts of the roots and old roots, and sterilize them in a 0.05%-0.1% potassium permanganate solution for about 10 minutes. After washing, plant them in a transparent container and fill the container with clean water to 2/3 of the root system. Change the water every 2-3 days; it is easy to take root, and hydroponic roots can grow in about 10 days. As shown in the figure, water-plug canna.

(2) Method 2: Dig out the canna roots and divide them into small pieces, each with 2-3 eyes and a small amount of fibrous roots, rinse the root system, then plant in a hydroponic container, changing the water once every 2-3 days. After 2 weeks, hydroponic roots can be grown.

2. Maintenance guide

(1) Light and temperature. When planting, place the plant in a cool and ventilated place to prolong the flowering period. The plant can bloom all year round when the temperature is above 16°C all year round. When the temperature is lower than 16°C, growth is slow or even dormant. The winter room temperature should not be lower than 7°C for safe wintering. In winter, it should be placed in an area with sufficient light, and the room temperature should be kept above 7°C for safe overwintering; below 7°C, it is susceptible to frost damage.

(2) Fertilization. After hydroponics, canna (Canna indica) is prone to producing new roots, and lateral roots occur quickly. After 2-3 weeks, a strong growth potential begins to appear. At this time, a nutrient solution can be used instead, and scattered light is sufficient for maintenance. Because it is very tolerant of fat and moisture, note that an appropriate nutrient solution should be added every week and replaced every 3 weeks.

(3) Watering. In summer, avoid sun exposure and frequently spray water on the leaves, otherwise the leaf edges will dry and turn yellow.
