Such a high-value flower as Danish bellflower, few people should be able to resist the "temptation". There are so many advantages:
(1) The décor is fresh and elegant; (2) The flower bud is dense and has high explosive potential; (3) The plant shape is full and compact; (4) The leaves are emerald green, with a bit of flesh texture...
But it is such a flower that almost no one dislikes, but it disappointed many flower friends, and even gave it the name "weekly flower". The reason is that it will wither after a week after buying, some buds will fall one after another, some leaves will gradually wither, and some will even rot on the branches ... The problems are diverse, and it is difficult to find the reason for it for a while, it can only be said that this flower is too squeamish. Is Danish bellflower really hard to raise?
Indeed, flowers like bellflowers, its original habitat is mostly in Europe, where the temperate maritime climate has the characteristics of warm winter and cool summer, and it likes light, but can not tolerate high temperature roasting, can withstand cold but can not withstand the low temperature weather all the time. From an environmental point of view alone, such flowers are not suitable for most areas of the mainland.
In addition to environmental factors, there is another quite important reason why Danish bellflowers become "weekly flowers", that is, the flower market has too much "moisture".
First, traders use drugs to induce flowers
In order to maximize the appearance of Danish bellflowers, the so-called "selling appearance", traders usually use flower-inducing drugs to promote the appearance of flower buds together. This is undoubtedly the promotion of seedlings, after the flower friends buy home, the "medicinal effect" basically disappears, all aspects of the plant's ability is exhausted, and it is not surprising that there is withering.
Second, the seedlings are small and slender, and their vitality is weak
Coincidentally, even robust flowers such as mini roses and small daisies are sometimes doomed by "weekly flowers", mainly because merchants will plant multiple seedlings in the same pot in order to make the flower plant look fuller and more compact. Such seedlings are too slender and fragile in vitality, and a slight carelessness in buying them home will lead to various situations.
Third, environmental mutations
Almost all the flowers in the flower market are vibrant, in addition to the proper management of the business, but also because the environment is stable, the temperature is suitable and the humidity is right. The environment at home is relatively dry, which may not be suitable for the growth of Danish bellflowers.
4. Out-of-season sales
Like most bellflowers, it generally blooms in spring and summer. The Danish bellflowers sold by merchants in winter, after bringing home, the environment cannot support its growth, and withering is inevitable.
Even though the overall environment and some of the behavior of traders make the maintenance of Danish bellflowers difficult, there are still florists who raise them beautifully and beautifully, and the flowers bloom one stubble after another. So how do they do it?
First, learn to choose when buying
After seeing the behavior of some bad traders, we can choose Danish bellflowers like this:
(1) Choose robust plants; (2) Purchase in the right season; (3) Pay attention to whether the root system of the pelvic floor is full; (4) Pay attention to whether the branches are rotten.
2. Reasonable maintenance
(1) Appropriate lighting, summer should pay attention to cooling and shading. Danish bellflowers love the sun, and many flower friends bring home to become "weekly flowers" in large part because of insufficient light, and the sunlight on the indoor balcony cannot meet their needs. However, it is afraid of exposure to the sun, and in summer, it is especially necessary to pay attention to high temperature days above 30 ° C, and it is necessary to move back to a cool and ventilated location.
(2) Diligent water should not be stuffy. The Danish wind chimes bought home gradually begin to lose buds, mostly because they are too dry, and the number of watering should be increased at this time. In addition, the Danish bellflower in the growing period has lush branches and leaves, and requires a lot of water, so pay attention to replenishing sufficient water. But also because its branches and leaves are too luxuriant, not conducive to the loss of moisture, the environment must be ventilated, otherwise it is easy to cause problems such as rotting branches and leaves, stuffy roots, etc. A week begins to wither, sometimes starting from the root.
(3) Timely supply of fertilizer. Proper fertilizer can make the flowers fuller, and some potassium dihydrogen phosphate flower fertilizer can be added before the flowering period comes. Pay attention to fertilizing along the edge of the pot to avoid touching the branches and leaves, causing erosion.
(4) The soil is loose and breathable. The Danish bellflower bought back comes with soil, pay attention to ventilation. If self-sowing or changing pots later, it is best to choose dredged and breathable soil.
(5) Rainproof. Danish bellflowers are afraid of water showers, and should be kept on the terrace or yard to avoid the rain during the rainy period. At the same time, it is best not to drizzle the leaves when watering, and it is better to water along the edge of the pot as well.
(6) Timely pruning. The pruning here is divided into two parts, one is the daily cleaning pruning. Daily fallen leaves, yellow leaves, dead branches, etc. should be cleaned up in time, so as to increase ventilation efficiency. The second is pruning after flowers. Pruning the residual flowers after the flowering period can reduce the nutrient consumption of Danish bellflowers and prepare them for later re-flowering or the following year's growth.
(7) Whether to change the pot. Due to factors such as environmental instability, it is not recommended to change the pot directly for flowers that have just been bought home. You can wait until the seedlings are stable, or after the past week.
(8) Online shopping should be slowed down. Flowers purchased online basically need to go through a slow seedling period after pickup, and proper practice during this period can help flowers grow better. The specific method is not difficult: remove broken, injured, yellow leaves, dead branches, etc.; Give enough water once.
Raising a flower is not simple, although the flower blooms beautifully, sometimes it requires a lot of energy. Flowers as good-looking and delicate as Danish bellflowers need patience.
