Cymbidium is a perennial herbaceous flower that blooms in summer. The stevia is an ornamental plant. It is easier to breed stevia and does not require professional breeding knowledge. Please refer to this page for knowledge about the culture method of stevia.
Introduction of the hibiscus
Lobelia, also known as Lobster, jasmine, pine, peony, etc., is a perennial succulent plant of the family Amaranthus. The plant is about 30 cm high, with slender stems, lying or hanging. The base is slightly lignified and has many branches and rises. The reddish-brown leaves are thick and juicy, and the thick and juicy leaves are opposite. They are pine-like, linear, blue-green and straight like pine leaves. Single flower axillary, 5 cm to 7 cm in diameter, rich in color, white, pink, red, yellow and orange. Shaped like chrysanthemum, the petals are narrow and shiny and bloom from April to May. Native to South Africa, it is now a common ornamental plant.
Morphological characteristics of stevia
The geranium is a perennial evergreen plant of the genus Hypo, which is 30 cm high. Flowers solitary; locules leaflike, opposite; calyx 5-lobed, lobes unrelated. Capsule fleshy, star-shaped 5-valved; seed numerous. Flowering spring or summer and autumn. Native to southern Africa. Chinese cultivation for viewing.
Ecological habits of stevia
Hi warm, dry, well ventilated and sunny environment, the minimum temperature is about 10 degrees. It is neither cold-resistant nor high-temperature, afraid of water and drought. Not resistant to heat, not too humid during the growing season. In addition to hot days, better lighting is required. Spring and autumn are the main growth periods.
Cultivation techniques of stevia
Hi, warm and dry and sunny environment, neither cold nor high temperature, afraid of water and drought. Spring and autumn are the main growth periods. They can be used once every half a month to provide sufficient nutrients for plant growth and flowering. However, excessive fertilizer and water, especially excessive nitrogen fertilizer, will cause the plants to grow and the flowering to decrease. Usually keep the basin soil moist, not much watering. In addition to a little shading in summer, sufficient light should be given in other seasons. If the light is insufficient, the distance between the nodes will be extended, and the stems and leaves will be soft and easy to fall. When the plant is in a semi-dormant state during high temperature in summer, it should be placed in a cool and ventilated place to stop the fertilization, control the amount of watering, and prevent root rot caused by high temperature and humidity. The wintering temperature should not be lower than 10 degrees, stop fertilizing, reduce watering, and keep the blades from shrinking. If the temperature is low and the humidity is high, the leaves tend to turn yellow and droop, and even when the whole plant is withered, it will die. In the cultivation, the plants should be topped frequently to control the growth and promote the branching, so as to achieve the purpose of multi-flowering. It should be turned over once a year in early spring, and it should be cultivated in sandy soil with good fertility and good drainage and permeability. When turning over the pot, the plants should be trimmed to promote new branches and leaves, and beautiful flowers can be produced from April to May.
Reproduction of stevia
The fruit of the chrysanthemum is not easy to mature, and it is difficult to harvest seeds. Therefore, cutting propagation is often used. In the spring and autumn seasons, the cuttings are selected, and the full and full branches are selected. The young shoots with 3-4 leaves and about 5 cm in length are cut for cutting. Insert into the sandy loam soil, maintain a certain temperature and humidity, rooting can be carried out in about 1 month. If the cuttings are treated with 2% sugar water for 10 hours before insertion, the rooting effect is better. It can also be sown and propagated in the spring, and the seed is easy to emerge, that is, the seed is not easily harvested. The cuttings can be transplanted into live seedlings. Three plants can be planted in one 8 cm eggshell pot. The potting soil should be sand cultured, and some decomposed cake fertilizer should be added as the base fertilizer. Because the old plants are poorly flowered, the trees are renewed and cultivated in 2-3 years.
Fertilization
Apply thin fertilizer once every half month, which will promote the plant to develop well and leafy flowers.
Watering
The growth period should be fully watered, and watering should be controlled during the rainy and rainy seasons.
