The one-yuan note is an orchid. Chinese orchids are neither delicate nor gaudy, but simple and elegant, with a gentlemanly demeanor. They have been loved by people since ancient times and have a very long history of cultivation. They are known as the Four Gentlemen among Flowers. Common ones include Chunlan, Molan, Hanlan, Jianlan, etc. Have you ever raised them all?

1Orchid breeding method

If you want to have more money at home, you can grow more orchids. So how to turn 1 orchid into 10? Huahua will give you a detailed introduction:

1. Orchids that have grown for many years have very developed root systems, so we can use division to propagate them. The first step is to select an orchid that is growing well and then remove the soil from the pot.

2 Orchid Care Methods

Orchids like loose, breathable soil rich in humus. During the growth period, the substrate should be kept moist. Do not expose it to the sun. A semi-shaded environment is sufficient. Spray water frequently and maintain a sufficiently high air humidity, which is very conducive to the growth of orchids.

The five-yuan banknote is a daffodil, which is a plant that has been cultivated for a long time in Chinese history. The flowers are naturally beautiful, fragrant and fresh. The flowering period is usually in early spring, creating a lively New Year atmosphere. I wish everyone happiness and prosperity in the new year!

1. Narcissus maintenance method

The flowering period of daffodils is in spring, and most families use hydroponics to grow them. During maintenance, ensure sufficient light to prevent the leaves from growing too long and resulting in no flowering. If you want the daffodils to bloom taller, better and more, you can add some quick-acting phosphorus fertilizer to the water.

2Daffodil breeding methods

Many people grow daffodils and throw them away after they bloom, but they can actually be reused. After the daffodils have finished blooming, choose loose and breathable soil and bury the daffodil bulbs in it. After about a month, the leaves on the flowerpot will wither.

At this time, you can dig the narcissus bulb out of the pot, remove the fibrous roots at the bottom of the bulb, cut off the withered leaves with scissors, and rebury it in the pot to a depth of about 10 cm.

Don't forget to water it afterwards, keep it moist but not waterlogged. After a long spring, summer and autumn, in early winter, new daffodil bulbs will grow on the old bulbs, and you can just dig them out and plant them.

3. Ten Yuan Note

Rose

There is a yellow rose on the 10 yuan note. Rose has always been considered the queen of flowers. It has colorful colors and rich fragrance, making it very suitable for planting in balconies and gardens.

1. Rose maintenance method

If you want the rose to grow well, you must ensure 6 hours of sunlight every day.

Don't water unless the soil is dry. If you do water, water thoroughly. There should not be water accumulation in the potting soil. Each time you water, water only when you see the soil on the surface of the pot turns white. Be more diligent in summer, and keep the soil semi-moist in winter.

If conditions permit, it is best to water the rose with fermented rice water once every ten days, and add sufficient base fertilizer to the bottom of the pot when repotting it every year.

2. Rose propagation method

If you want to turn one pot of roses into 10 pots, the easiest way is to propagate roses by cuttings. Here Huahua will teach you how to propagate roses by cuttings:

1. Selection of cuttings.

When taking cuttings, it is best to choose branches that have bloomed and become woody. These branches are more active, take root quickly, and have a higher survival rate.

2. Choose the thick lower part of the branch for cuttings, which should be about ten centimeters. Each cutting should be two nodes long. Cut the cuttings diagonally at 45 degrees below and cut them flat on the top.

3. After that, soak the trimmed cuttings in a solution of carbendazim for three minutes for disinfection, take them out, dry them and wait for cuttings.

4. The soil for cuttings can be made of perlite and coconut bran, mixed in a ratio of 1:1. When filling the soil, be sure to compact it. If it is too loose, the water retention will be poor and the branches will easily dry out.

5. Before cutting, you can dip some rooting powder to promote rooting.

6. It is best to place the cuttings of the rose in a cool and ventilated place and keep the soil moist. It will take about ten days for the rose to take root. When the rose grows new leaves, you can put it in a place with sufficient light and start maintenance.

7. When the rose grows two or three true leaves, you can plant it in a pot. Water it thoroughly and place it in a cool place to allow it to grow slowly. After it resumes growing, place it in a place with sufficient light for maintenance.

1 Lotus maintenance method

Lotus is an aquatic plant, so it must be kept water-free, especially in summer. The water layer only needs to be controlled at about three centimeters. If it is too deep, the soil temperature cannot be guaranteed.

When planting lotus, you can add an appropriate amount of decomposed cake fertilizer or chicken manure into the soil and mix it evenly. In addition, light and ventilation must be guaranteed, otherwise it will easily rot.

2 Lotus propagation method

Lotus can be propagated by seed raising and lotus root division.

When raising seed seedlings, the seed shells of the lotus seeds need to be broken with stones and the seeds soaked for seedling raising. It will sprout in about a week. After sprouting, if you plant one in a pot, it will bloom in the same year.

When planting lotus roots, it is best to do so in March and April each year. The depth of the lotus roots can be planted at about ten centimeters to ensure that the lotus roots and the soil are fully combined. When first planted, the tail of the lotus roots should be exposed above the water surface. After germination, the water level can be slowly raised to a final depth of about three centimeters.

5. Fifty Yuan Note

chrysanthemum

The 50-yuan RMB note is a chrysanthemum. In traditional Chinese culture, chrysanthemum has always been associated with longevity and auspiciousness, such as "Wait until the Double Ninth Festival, and come back to eat chrysanthemums." But now, influenced by Western culture, it has become the protagonist of the Qingming Festival. However, this does not prevent those who like it from liking it!

1. Chrysanthemum maintenance method

When planting chrysanthemums, you can choose leaf mold, sandy soil and organic fertilizer and mix them in a ratio of 6:3:1.

Chrysanthemums are drought-resistant, but they still need sufficient water during their growth period. When the air is dry, spray water on the ground more often to increase the humidity of the environment. After the beginning of autumn, you can control the water appropriately to prevent the plants from growing too tall and affecting their appearance.

When cultivating chrysanthemums, you can add sufficient base fertilizer to the bottom of the flowerpot. When it blooms, spray an appropriate amount of potassium dihydrogen phosphate to make the flowers bloom more brightly!

2 Chrysanthemum breeding methods

Chrysanthemums can be propagated by cuttings. In April and May, the survival rate is very high!

1. Cut off healthy chrysanthemum branches, remove the leaves below, and only keep a few leaves on the top.

2. Chrysanthemums are not very demanding on soil. Here we can use perlite and river sand for cuttings to improve the survival rate. After cuttings, water thoroughly and place in a cool, diffused light location. After a period of time, the chrysanthemums will take root and sprout.

6. One hundred yuan note

plum bossom

China has not yet determined its national flower. If I had to choose one, I think it would probably be the plum blossom. If you don't believe me, look at this 100 yuan bill. Who wouldn't want it?

1. Plum blossom maintenance method

If you are growing plum blossoms in potted plants, it is best to choose loose, fertile, and well-drained soil. When planting them in pots, add sufficient base fertilizer to the bottom of the pot.

When watering, avoid too dry or too wet conditions, both of which have a great impact on plum blossoms.

Plum blossoms do not like heavy fertilizers, so it is enough to apply thin liquid fertilizer once a month. You can apply fertilizer once in late summer and early autumn. Remember to water the plants after fertilizing.

2 Plum blossom breeding methods

The best time for plum cuttings is from November to January. When cutting, choose woody branches about 10 cm in length. The cutting medium can be a loose and breathable medium such as river sand or perlite. After cutting, water it thoroughly and cover it with a plastic bag to keep it moist. It will take root in more than a month.

Flower lovers, how many kinds do you grow?
