Things like growing flowers must be done now, otherwise you will have to wait another year

Cuttings

The weather is hot in summer, and some flowers are best suited for cuttings at this time, and they take root quickly and grow rapidly. For example, sunflowers, geraniums, gardenias, bougainvillea, etc. Today, Huahua will take gardenia cuttings as an example to introduce a convenient and simple method of cuttings. 1. When the weather is hot in summer, you can prune the gardenia and use the strong branches pruned for cuttings. Be sure to place it in a cool and ventilated place to let the wound dry before cutting. 2. Find a few disposable paper cups, make a small hole in the bottom of the paper cups, and then put the cleaned fine sand in.

Open the film regularly and water it when you find the sand in the disposable paper cup becomes dry. It will take about a month to take root.

Layering

The flowers that can be layered in July include Milan, honeysuckle, hydrangea, osmanthus, etc. Today Huahua will give you a detailed introduction to the rose layering method. 1. For high-altitude layering of roses, the first materials you need to prepare include scissors, blades, empty plastic bottles, tape, vermiculite, etc. 2. Use scissors to cut the empty plastic bottle from the mouth of the bottle downwards, cut it vertically, and then cut off the bottom of the bottle.

Put the cut plastic bottle with the mouth facing down on the rose branch, fill the bottom with permeable materials, such as gauze, towels, etc., and then wrap transparent tape around the outside of the plastic bottle until the bottle mouth is sealed.

Place the rooted rose branches that have been cut in a cool and ventilated place for about a week, then remove the plastic bottle directly and transplant them into a flowerpot.

Division

In addition to cuttings and layering, some flowers are actually suitable for division in July, such as hosta, spider plant, allium, and hanging bamboo plum. Today Huahua will introduce the division of aloe vera in detail. After all, many flower lovers now grow aloe vera at home, and aloe vera is also very easy to overflow the pot! 1. Remove the aloe vera from the pot. When the soil in the pot is half dry and half wet, remove the aloe plant from the pot. Grasp the base of the aloe rhizome, and then turn the entire aloe plant upside down from the pot. 2. After taking out the aloe vera, clean the soil on it and check whether the root system is healthy. If root rot is found, it should be removed immediately.
3. Cut the side buds with roots on the aloe mother plant and divide them. As long as the side buds have roots, they can survive. Then place them in a cool and ventilated place to dry the wounds.
4. The soil for growing aloe vera requires good drainage. You can mix leaf mold and river sand (perlite) in a ratio of 3:1 to make nutrient soil, then plant the aloe vera and take good care of it.

sowing

Many flower lovers say that it is not suitable to sow in summer, but Huahua wants to tell you today that some flowers can actually be sown now, such as marigolds, sunflowers, vinca roseus, etc. Their most suitable germination time is 15-25℃, so now is a good time to sow! 1. Fill the seedling box with nutrient soil and press it gently to make it firm. 2. You can use the immersion basin method for watering. Add about 1/3 of water to the water tray of the seedling box, and then squat the seedling box on it.

(Author: Ningxia Little Ant Kaikai Source: Huaba) 5. After covering the soil, water it and then cover the lid of the seedling box.

(Author: Ningxia Little Ant Kaikai Source: Huaba) 7. Then place the seedling box in a cool and ventilated place, and it will sprout in about 6-10 days. When the vinca grows two pairs of true leaves, you can transplant it into a flowerpot and continue to care for it.
