fruit
Dianthus chinensis capsules in a cylindrical shape, enclosed in Sushangyu, with 4 tips at the top; seeds black, oblate. The fruit of Dianthus is from July to September.
Ecological habits of Dianthus
Dianthus is cold-tolerant, drought-tolerant, and not resistant to heat. In summer, it grows poorly or withered. When planting, it should pay attention to shading and cooling. Enjoy sunny, dry, ventilated and cool humid climate. Requires fertile, loose, well-drained and calcareous loam or sandy loam, avoiding watery sputum and good fat. It is better to resist alkaline soil. Dianthus flowers bloom in the evening, if the morning sunshine, noon shade, night night, you can extend the viewing period, and make it continue to blossom. Dianthus is grown in the area of 10 to 2,700 meters above sea level. It is grown in grassland and hillside grassland. It has been widely used as an ornamental plant and has been widely cultivated around the world. It has cultivated a large number of cultivated species.
Dianthus cultivation technology
Planting method
Dianthus is commonly used for sowing, cutting, and ramets. The optimum temperature for seed germination is 21 to 22 °C. Seeding and breeding are generally carried out in September. Sowing in the open seedbed, keeping the soil moist after sowing, sprouting 5 days after sowing, emergence in about 10 days, suitable for growth at 10-20 °C in the seedling stage; transplantable when seedlings grow 4-5 leaves, Spring blossoms. It can also be broadcast live in September or in the cold room from November to December. It will be planted in the open field in April next year.
Cutting propagation is carried out from October to the end of February to March of the next year. During the lush foliage period, the shoots are cut into 5-6 cm long cuttings; the main roots are 15-20 days after insertion. The ramets are mostly propagated after the flower, and the old plant ramets can be used in autumn or early spring. For example, it can be planted in April, paying attention to drainage in summer, strengthening fertilizer and water management after September, and flowering again in early October.
Management and maintenance
Dianthus is a perennial herbaceous flower with no perennial roots. It is cultivated for 1~2 years old plants. Potted Dianthus requires the application of base fertilizer, 2 to 3 plants per pot. The seedling grows to a height of 15cm and removes the top bud, which promotes its branching. Afterward, it is necessary to remove the axillary buds properly. Otherwise, the branches will be more dispersed, and the nutrients will be dispersed and the flowering will be small. The axillary buds will be properly removed to concentrate the nutrients, which can promote the flower to be large and colorful; It should be placed in a sunny and well-ventilated place to keep the soil moist, about 1 time of decomposing thin liquid fertilizer every 10 days; too much rain in summer, pay attention to drainage and loose soil. Dianthus chinensis is easy to cross, and the seedlings need to be isolated and planted. Some flower buds should be removed in time before flowering, mainly to ensure the flowering of the top flower buds. In winter, watering should be less. If the temperature is kept at 5~8 °C, winter and spring will continue to bloom.
