Leek should be selected according to the region where it is cultivated, and the leek with good quality, strong disease resistance and high yield should be selected. When sowing, it is very simple to spread directly on the soil surface and compact the soil. When the seedlings grow to 18 to 20 centimeters, they can be transplanted. Before transplanting, soil preparation and base fertilizer should be applied. Pay attention to the time of fixed value, and avoid the season of high temperature and humidity. In addition, after planting, management should be strengthened to ensure adequate water and nutrients.

1. When does Zygocactus bloom

The natural flowering period of Zygocactus is usually from October to February of the next year. If you want Zygocactus to bloom ahead of time, you can use short-day shading treatment. Let the Zygacactus dry for only 8 hours every day. For the rest of the time, put it in a small black room, or cover it with a black plastic bag. After 2-3 months of such treatment, Zygacactus can bloom!

2. Introduction of maintenance methods of Zygocactus during flowering period

1. Avoid repotting: You must not repot the crab cactus orchid during the flowering period. For example, the crab cactus orchids sold in the flower market are all in the flowering period. Many flower lovers buy them home and dislike that the flowerpot is not good-looking, so they change a good-looking pot for the plant. As a result, all the flower buds fall out, and there is no one left.

2. Avoid moving: It is best to fix the flower in one place after the cactus orchid comes out of the bud. Don't always move around and change to a new maintenance environment. Otherwise, it is easy to disrupt the biological clock of the cactus orchid, so that the plant can often adapt to the new environment and drop the bud.

3. More light: The flowering period of the crab cactus orchid is just in the winter and spring season. At this stage, the light is warm and soft. You must bask in the sun more. Otherwise, the crab cactus orchid is seriously short of light, which will also cause the plant to fall into bud. The more light, the more vigorous the growth and the more flowers.

4. Less watering: After the buds appear, we should appropriately reduce the water supply to avoid the occurrence of root rot and bud drop caused by too frequent watering. It is best to look at the white and dry soil surface every time, and then water it when you feel the soil in the pot is obviously lighter.

5. Avoid fertilizing: Do not fertilize during the flowering period. It is best to apply phosphorus and potassium fertilizers before flowering to promote flowering. After flowering, apply fertilizer water with balanced nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium to renew and rejuvenate. Then apply phosphorus and potassium fertilizers every 15 days to promote secondary flowering.
