Cyclamen cultivation methods and precautions

Cyclamen cultivation methods and precautions

1. Breeding environment

1. Soil: Suitable for loose, breathable, slightly acidic nutrient soil.

2. Light: It likes light, but direct sunlight is not allowed in summer. It is better to use scattered light. Place it in a sunny place and move it frequently so that it can receive light evenly.

3. Watering: It can tolerate a certain degree of drought, but the soil should be kept slightly moist during its growing season, and no water should accumulate. You can use the basin method for watering.

4. Fertilization: It prefers fertilizer, but it is not suitable to apply concentrated fertilizer. Too high a concentration will "burn yellow". Except for stopping fertilization in summer, it is enough to apply thin fertilizer water once every ten days or half a month at other times.

2. Breeding Methods

1. Seeding propagation: Soak its seeds in water at a temperature between 30 and 35 degrees for 24 hours. Disinfect and sterilize the soil before sowing. The soil moisture for sowing should reach about 90%.

2. Cutting propagation: Select healthy stems with a diameter greater than 3 cm. There should be more than 2 buds on the bulb for division. Use a straight cutting method to ensure that there is a bud at each location. After cutting, treat it with wood ash and then carry out cuttings.

3. Common pests and diseases

Common diseases include leaf rollers and soft rot. After discovery, the pests can be captured manually or sprayed with 0.15%-0.2% concentration of thiophanate-methyl.

IV. Precautions

1. Dormant period: Summer is the dormant season for cyclamen, which makes fertilizer and watering an important issue. Stop fertilizing in summer and keep the soil in the pot slightly moist.

2. Repotting: New pots need to be disinfected. It is generally chosen to repot around Qingming Festival, and appropriate fertilizer can be applied after repotting. After changing the pot, place it in an environment of 15 degrees for maintenance.
