Dahlia bloom time

Friends who have had experience in breeding can know that this kind of flower was opened in June and July, but some identical flowers were opened in October. It turns out that this kind of flower can bloom twice a year, once in summer and once in winter. Petals will be stacked in many layers, arranged in a very regular way. When they open in summer, they must not belong to other small flowers. They have a kind of atmospheric beauty. If you drive in winter, you will add a little color to the gloomy winter, which is even more eye-catching.

Winter flowering techniques: pruning

It's not difficult for this kind of flower to bloom. Flower friends with long-term experience in flower planting know that as long as they can grow flower buds, they have hope to bloom. The first method of pruning is to keep only Danzhu, so that it can bloom earlier, and the plants that have already blossomed can directly leave a short cut or two, at this time, the new buds can continue to bloom.

The second way to prune is to focus on varieties that are difficult to differentiate, which is to start picking when they are young, so as to help them to shoot. From mid July to August, when they are colored, they can cut short again, so that they can bloom in October

Winter flowering skills: heat preservation

If you want them to open in winter or early spring, you must do a good job in heat preservation. It's better to control the temperature at about 25 ℃ in the daytime. If the temperature is a little higher, you need to take some cooling measures, such as putting them in a place with better air flow, or making some air flow or water mist manually to cool down. At night, we can't neglect it. We must keep it above 10 ℃, if we can't reach it, we should do some warming work in time
