Potted Acacia
Bai Ye Lian is a green, elegant flower and is an excellent indoor flower. It is also known as Bailey blue, purple clivia, blue clivia, and African lily, which are perennial green grass flowers of Liliaceae and Acacia. The underground part has short-stem rhizomes and cord-like fleshy fibrous roots. The leaves are basal, broadly banded, apex obtuse, arched upper and lower curves, and soft and smooth texture. The flower buds were drawn from the leaves and stood upright. They were taller than the leaves. The top of the umbels were flowering from 20 to 50 flowers. The outside was covered with two big bracts. The bracts fell off when the flowers bloomed. Corolla funnel-shaped, brilliant blue, flowering from June to August. There are white, purple, large flowers, small flowers, Phnom Penh leaves, silver leaves, as well as double and multi-flowered varieties. Bai Zi Lian is native to South Africa and has a mild and humid climate. It does not tolerate frost and cold. In winter, it needs to be above 5°C. In the summer, it should be shaded in a fresh, moist environment. Strict requirements for soil, but in the rich humus, loose fertility, permeability of the soil in the more productive, rapid growth. Bai Zi Lian usually reproduces mainly by ramets. Since seed germination and seedling growth are extremely slow, seedlings need at least 6 years to bloom, so seed propagation is rarely used. The seedlings of Baizilian grow by sprouting from the top buds of the branches that grow on the underground stems. The leaves of the tillers and mother plants grow and separate. Therefore, it is easy to divide the seedlings. As long as the roots of the tillers connected together are cut, Each ramet seedling can have an intact root system and can be planted throughout the year. Potted Acacia should be used after the autumn flowering or in the early spring with a pot change soil to operate as well. One year to two years after the emergence of the sub-planting pots, several new strains can be successively flowered. Therefore, the basin should not be too small, the application of fertilization culture soil on the inside by 23 cm pot conservation, the second year after flowering into the inner diameter of 30 cm basin. In the third year, the ramets were planted separately, and the pots were replaced once in the next 2 years so that each pot could maintain 4 to 5 tussocks and flowering from 3 to 4 branches. Always keep more than 3 cm of edge when going to the basin. If there is too much soil, half a year later, due to the rapid growth of the underground stems, the pots will be filled with pots and pots will not be filled with water. Bai Zi Lian Xi Fei, in addition to the flowering period, each half of the growth period should be followed by sufficient decomposed organic liquid fertilizer once, near the flowering period can be alternately applied with 0.3% potassium dihydrogen phosphate solution, and should always keep the environment and basin soil moist, but There is no water in the basin. After the general fall, the room is maintained for winter. The plants entering the low-temperature greenhouse are in a semi-dormant state. Attention should be paid to the use of fertilizers to control the water and maintain the micro-tide of potted soil, and timely ventilation and ventilation. Such as the end of autumn into the high-conservation greenhouse maintenance, to maintain adequate light, adequate water and fertilizer, plants continue to grow, before and after the Spring Festival can be flowering, late summer and early autumn can be the second flowering. In the middle and late April, after putting out the room, it is necessary to put out shade, windproof, and shelter from rain. It can also be placed in a bright, airy, and humid environment.
