Cyclamen), also known as radish begonia, rabbit ear flower, rabbit flower, pint crown, campspark, and flip-petaled lotus, is a perennial herb in the primrose family, cyclamen.
1. Cyclamen's cultivation soil. It can be prepared with 3 parts of humus soil, 2 parts of forest saprophyll soil, 2 parts of furnace ash ballast, 2 parts of river sand (sandy vegetable garden soil), 1 part of well-rotted compost, and appropriate addition of superphosphate and other chemicals. This kind of soil, loose and fertile, is suitable for cyclamen to grow. When cultivating, the cultivation soil must be strictly disinfected by high temperature disinfection by smoking medicine, and the cultivation container should be gradually enlarged according to the size of the bulb, and small seedlings cannot be cultivated in large pots.
2. Cultivate good cyclamen in the family to pay attention to the following points:
(1) To give appropriate water Generally speaking, it is necessary to water once in about three days to help the bulb absorb enough water to ensure that the water can be replenished in time after transpiration of the flowers. Ensure adequate light. Cyclamen prefer a warm and humid environment and are greenhouse flowers.
(2) Although it belongs to the relatively shade-tolerant primrose family, it still needs the necessary light during the flowering period. If not exposed to sunlight for a long time, potted flowers will wilt quickly.
(3) The cultivation soil of cyclamen is mainly sandy, and it is suitable to mix some humus soil and furnace ash residue to make it have good air permeability. Sand changes quickly with temperature, can reduce the temperature at night, and can maintain a certain constant temperature during the day, which is conducive to prolonging the flowering period.
(4) Fertilization is best with long-term fertilizer, watering rotten liquid fertilizer twice a month, not too concentrated, so as not to reduce the buds of the leaves, and then apply liquid fertilizer after changing pots in autumn. It is recommended that everyone use this organic and inorganic fertilizer, slow-release fertilizer effect, stronger holding type, larger and greener plant leaves, more shiny
(5) In summer, high temperature and humidity, cyclamen is very prone to soft rot, and the incidence is extremely high. In winter, this disease is also prone to occur in greenhouses such as high temperature, high humidity and poor ventilation. Therefore, when the temperature is high, it is necessary to control moisture, maintain air circulation, and appropriate shade. The soil should be disinfected when potting. High temperature sterilization or spray with times formalin liquid. Diseased leaves are removed and burned in time to prevent the spread of germs.
