Hydrangea

Recommended varieties:

Endless Summer

Recommended reasons:

The flowering period stretches from late spring to late autumn. Every time you think it has finished blooming, new buds will appear. It is very cost-effective.

And you can adjust the color of Endless Summer yourself~pink, purple, blue, whatever color you like~

Color adjustment points:

1. Preparation

Aluminum sulfate, white vinegar, ferrous sulfate, and potash fertilizer.

2. Increase aluminum ions in the soil

Before buds form or appear, add 10 grams of aluminum sulfate per liter and irrigate the soil once every 10 days. If it is the first time to adjust the color, you can lower the concentration of aluminum sulfate. Or if the flowers are in relatively dry soil, you can water them with clean water first and then water them with aluminum sulfate.

Because hydrangea contains an anthocyanin called delphinidin, which turns the flower color blue when combined with aluminum ions, aluminum sulfate is used to increase the aluminum element in the soil.

Apply ferrous sulfate and white vinegar water at other watering times.

3. Improve soil pH

Dilute the prepared ferrous sulfate with water strictly according to the instructions on the package, or reduce the concentration slightly. And ferrous sulfate cannot be used every time you water, as it may easily burn the seedlings. You can use ferrous sulfate and white vinegar alternately, just put 5 to 10 ml of vinegar in every liter of water. 5 ml is enough for potted plants, while 10 ml is needed for ground plants.

If you don't have ferrous sulfate, you can just use white vinegar to adjust the acidity, using the same proportions as above. If it is the first time to adjust the color, the proportion of vinegar can be halved, or you can water it with clean water before pouring vinegar water. If the color adjustment is successful, just add 1 to 2 ml of vinegar each time you water the plant. Because tap water is weakly alkaline, if vinegar is not added, the soil will gradually become alkaline.

4. Stop using fertilizers

Although phosphorus fertilizer can promote flowering, the phosphorus in it will hinder the absorption of aluminum ions. Therefore, please stop using phosphorus fertilizer at this time.

Potassium fertilizer can enhance the blue color. You can apply it several times more often. Remember to apply thin fertilizers frequently. When you are not sure, it is better to apply light fertilizer instead of heavy fertilizer.

5. Time for color grading

Start coloring before the flower buds are colored, that is, after both aluminum sulfate and vinegar water have been used, the flowers that bloom will turn pure blue.

After the pink color is applied, the color will begin to change. With the use of aluminum sulfate and vinegar water, it will gradually turn into a blue-purple-pink complex color, but the color of the newly grown flower buds will be pure blue. So don’t worry about being too late, you can adjust the color at any time and the effect is very obvious.

Special tips:

1. All kinds of soil are irrigated separately, that is, use one kind of water each time, instead of spraying flowers and leaves;

2. Aluminum sulfate and vinegar water should be light rather than strong. If you are not sure about the concentration at the first adjustment, you can reduce it by half. For safety reasons, it is best to water the pot soil with clean water first;

3. After color adjustment, you can stop adding aluminum sulfate or increase the interval time, and change the concentration of vinegar water to 1-2 ml (lower the pH value of tap water);

4. If you find that the branches are becoming soft (not due to lack of water), flush the potting soil with plenty of clean water.

5. During the color adjustment period, you can still apply foliar phosphorus and potassium fertilizers (stop filling the soil), and stop the color adjustment mode in July and August.

Daily fertilization:

Apply water-soluble fertilizer once a week on a daily basis, preferably a fertilizer solution with a balanced amount of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium, or directly apply organic fertilizer.

Fertilize before flowering:

Adding phosphorus and potassium fertilizers before flowering can promote flowering.

Fertilization during flowering period:

Apply a thin layer of fertilizer once every 10 days. You can use bean cake water, chicken manure, fermented fish juice, vegetable leaf juice, etc., mix them in the ratio of 3 parts fertilizer to 7 parts water and apply them.

Fertilization during dormancy period:

When roses are dormant in winter, you should bury some organic fertilizers and slow-release fertilizers in the soil around them, or directly bury some fish intestines, chicken manure, bean cake crumbs, etc.

Clematis

Recommended varieties:

Josephine

Recommended reasons:

The beautiful double-petaled clematis has pink petals with a long dark pink band in the middle. It has a unique beauty and a long flowering period. The flowers can be seen throughout the summer, making it very suitable for small gardens or potted plants.

Points to note:

1. The soil for growing Josephine must be loose and breathable, otherwise the roots of Josephine will easily rot. An economical and affordable soil preparation method is to use 3 coconut coir, 1 peat, and 1 perlite.

2. It is best to plant shallowly in spring, leaving the root and rhizome junction exposed. Flower lovers in the south should pay special attention to this because the air humidity is high and the root-stem junction, the weakest point, is easily invaded by bacteria. You can put some expanded clay at the junction of the rhizomes to cover it.

3. Be sure to pay attention to watering. Many clematis are killed by overwatering. Water when the plant is dry and when it is wet. However, the evaporation is high in summer, so you can water more often. But never water at noon. You can pour some water into the tray at the bottom of the flowerpot. The evaporation of water can increase the air humidity and cool the plant down at the same time.

4. Clematis is most afraid of withering, so it is necessary to use carbendazim or other disinfectants for disinfection. If there are none, you can also sprinkle a few handfuls of wood ash on it. If you find the withered part, cut it off immediately.

Geranium

Recommended varieties:

Pink Swan Bowl (also known as Pink Bowl for short)

Recommended reasons:

The petals are layered, the flower shape is beautiful, and the colors are fresh and elegant, which is enough reason.

Daily maintenance:

1. If you want more pink bowl flowers to bloom, pinching and topping are essential. You can remove the top after the stem grows taller, which can promote the sprouting of more side branches.

2. When watering, be sure to keep the soil moist rather than dry. Geraniums like water very much. If you can ensure that there is no water accumulation, the soil in the pot can be kept moist for a long time.

3. Geraniums like strong sunlight, so it is best to place them on the balcony. It would be even better if the balcony is open to the sky!

4. Geraniums also like fertilizer. Therefore, when transplanting or repotting, be sure to bury some slow-release fertilizer or organic fertilizer at the bottom of the pot. You can use some water-soluble fertilizer once every 1 to 2 weeks. Before geraniums bloom, remember not to apply too much nitrogen fertilizer. When choosing fertilizers, focus on phosphorus and potassium fertilizers.

To sum up, the maintenance methods of geraniums are actually lots of fertilizer, lots of water, and lots of sun.

camellia

Recommended varieties:

Hexagonal Red

Recommended reasons:

The double petals, bright red color, and festive look are exactly what many flower lovers like, so it is very popular.

(Author: jms800cn Source: Sina Blog)

Maintenance points:

1. Camellia is a southern flower. In the north, it is best to add some vinegar when watering the flowers to adjust the pH of the soil.

2. It is best not to move camellia at will, especially the camellia you have just brought home. Once you choose a suitable location, do not move it again.

3. Do not fertilize the newly potted camellia within 2 months, as it may burn the roots. After 2 months, you can add a small amount of potassium dihydrogen phosphate. Before sprouting in spring, throw a small amount of fresh cake fertilizer on the surface of the potting soil and let it ferment naturally. When watering, the decomposed nutrients will enter the soil with the water.
