我係咁依 講吓,英文好的花友自己看!
長筒花最好用作盆栽或吊籃。
適合生長於攝氏16-22度,最低能忍耐攝氏10度。
植株应放在明亮的地方,可以在人工照明下生長。
土壤可用一般非洲紫蘿兰泥土,疏鬆排水良好。
生長活跃期可以每星期施肥,确保花开不斷,並且要保持盆土湿潤,一但缺水它們就会休眠。
適當地摘芯,保持植株外覌,並促進新花蕾。
初秋時期溫度漸低,要漸漸斷水,使植株進入休眠,地下鱗茎在这时期慢慢形成。
鱗茎或在地下,或在枝葉交汇处慢慢形成。
枝葉完全枯乾时,可收採鱗茎。或留在盆土裏,不要太乾燥。
春天或初夏 (溫度合適時),可植於 1.25-2.5cm 的湿潤盆土中,等待发芽。
若一个鱗茎長多於一个芽,可切开分植。一个鱗茎一般可長出2-3芽,或更多。但分植时,每一小片必需有一个完全的生長奌。
一般3个星期內可以开花,並直至下一季休眠期。
Grown primarily as a pot plant.
These plants need a minimum temperature of 50F (10c).
They prefer night temperatures of 60-70F (16-22c) and daytime temperatures in the mid-70F.
They should be grown in light, well-drained, humus-rich potting soil, such as the commercial African violet mix.
Site your plants in bright, indirect light.
The plants do well in artificial light.
Keep the soil moist and fertilize weekly while in active growth.
Pinch back to maintain shape.
In early fall, when the flowers fade, reduce watering.
This will cause the plants to go dormant and begin forming tubers.
These will grow under the soil as well as at nodes along the stems.
Once the leaves have fallen, the fragile tubers may be gathered and saved for replanting the next summer.
Store them unwatered, in pots or bags of soil, sphagnum moss, or vermiculite in a place where temperatures range from 50 to 70F.
The tubers may be replanted 1/2" to 1" (1.25cm - 2.54cm) deep in moist, rich soil the following season when they will begin to sprout in early summer.
After a few weeks, the flowers will begin to grow, continuing on until the plants are dried off again in early autumn. |
