The difference between sage, lavender, and starry sky and common problems
Hello, everyone, I am your good friend Xiaohua, welcome to watch this issue. In today's small flower raising class, Xiaohua intends to use sage, lavender, full of stars, and three kinds of plants as the theme to talk about the differences between them, as well as the problems that often occur in daily maintenance and corresponding solutions. Without further ado, let's get into today's content!
The first, sage.
Also known as Yangsu grass, is a small annual grass flower of the family Lipaceae and Sage, with an average height of about 30 to 100 cm, which can bloom blue-purple fragrant flowers from June to September every year. Because of its unique smell and fragrant fragrance, this plant is often used to cook a variety of ingredients to enhance the taste and freshness, and the flower language is: family happiness, family happiness.
As far as Little Flower knows, sage is most likely to have two problems when it grows.
First, a large number of branches and leaves withered and turned yellow, and the reason for this was the pot with too strong light. In fact, sage likes light but is not tolerant to strong light, often because the summer sun is too hot, and frequently produce dead branches and yellow leaves, so if necessary, it is best to set up a certain size of shading net on the balcony, or simply move the potted plant back indoors, bright but the ultraviolet intensity is still acceptable. Second, plants occasionally suffer from powdery mildew, and if the adverse situation is to be contained as soon as possible, people need to take action as soon as possible, while cutting off the diseased branches, while spraying special agents on them.
The second kind is full of stars.
The scientific name conical stone flower, belonging to the caryophyllaceous family, stone flower genus, beautiful and unique flower shape, is currently in the entire flower market, the limelight is extremely strong a cut flower, first-class appearance, full of beauty, light color flower around the body, emitting a burst of moving fragrance.
For The Starry Sky, there are two common problems with this strain.
First, the ideal growth temperature of the plant is 15 ~ 30 °C, and the temperature is too high or low, which is not conducive to the normal development and growth of the sky. For example, plants that have been in a high temperature environment for a long time often have their flowers deformed and their aesthetics are greatly reduced; conversely, if the temperature is too low and the weather is cold, they will fall into a short dormancy. Second, the high temperature and high humidity weather, the persecution of the stars, but also reflected in the possible cause of disease, that is, the stem, root and other parts of the plant, first soft and then decayed, and finally to extinction. Fortunately, the epidemic can be prevented in advance, as long as everyone rushes to use potassium permanganate solution before the stars are colonized, fully sterilize the soil, and then, when it comes to the heat, pay attention to rain, cooling and ventilation, they are bound to survive this difficult time safely.
The third, lavender.
The famous vanilla plant, from the family Lipaceae, lavender genus, has long grown in large quantities along the Mediterranean coast, all over Europe, the flower stem is slender and straight, beautiful and elegant, pots, bushes are suitable for both.
Because lavender is a typical long-day plant, the entire growth period, are required sufficient light, to provide strong support, so once they are in a humid environment, they will appear obvious stunted, accelerated aging and other reactions, requiring daily sunshine time, greater than six hours.
In general, for sage, starry sky, lavender, these three kinds of vanilla plants with high similarity, Xiaohua privately summarized a set of identification tricks.
First, observe the decor. Under normal circumstances, among the three kinds of plants, the flowers of sage and lavender are mostly mysterious and elegant blue-purple, while the stars are generally pure white and light powder. Secondly, for sage and lavender, which are known as twins, the stems of the two are very different and have their own characteristics. The former has a columnar upright quadrangular stem and is covered with a fine layer of hairs, while the latter grows in the same upright type, but the stem shape is different, which is known at a glance.
That's all for today, and I hope it will be helpful to you. If you have other common sense that you want to know about raising flowers, you can send a private message to Xiaohua, we will see you in the next issue!
