How to Cultivate Hosta Mosaic (Notes on Planting Hosta Mosaic)

Hosta Hosta Hosta, also known as Yuchun Bar, White Crane Flower and White Hosta, is a common ground cover plant in parks and courtyards, and also cultivated in flowerpots. Hosta likes humidity and is afraid of strong light, so it is suitable for growing in fertile and permeable soil. Hosta is a perennial herb of Liliaceae, and China is one of the original countries. Here is a brief introduction to the cultivation methods and precautions of Hosta Hosta.

First, the feeding method

illuminate

Hosta likes shade and is not resistant to strong light. It is best to put it on the shady windowsill at home, or in a place where there is no direct light indoors, and it must be shaded in summer.

2. Temperature

Hosta Hosta is cold-tolerant, and its suitable growth temperature is 15 ~ 25℃. When the temperature is lower than 0℃ in winter, the aboveground parts will wither, but the underground perennial roots can be preserved and germinate again in the next year when the climate is suitable. So there is no need to put it in a warm place at home for wintering, as long as the wintering temperature is higher than 5℃.

water

Hosta loves to be wet, so it should be watered frequently, but the amount of water should not be too large and there should be no water accumulation. Special attention should be paid to shelter from rain to prevent root rot caused by excessive wetting of basin soil. Water can be poured once in the morning and evening in summer, and water should be less or suspended in rainy days or when the temperature is low.

4. Land

Hosta likes loose and breathable sand, which is rich in humus. You can use a mixture of peat soil and perlite, and then add ceramsite. The clay content in the soil should be low and not too barren.

fertilize the soil or land

Fertilize once every 15 days in seedling stage and once every 7 days in flowering stage. Organic fertilizer can be applied according to the growth status of Hosta Hosta.

6. Pest control

Hosta Hosta has spot disease and white silk disease, which should be prevented in time. For example, chlorothalonil diluent can be sprayed once every 7 days to prevent spot disease and reused for 3 times.

7. Change pots and soil

Usually the pot needs to be changed once a year, and Hosta will sprout new buds on its thick roots every year. Plants can be divided once every two or three years, and pots can be changed according to the needs of plants.

prune

Dead leaves should be cut off at ordinary times to increase air permeability and light transmittance, especially during and after flowering, residual flowers and dead leaves should be trimmed in time.

9. Breeding method

Hosta Hosta is usually propagated by ramets or by sowing. Branching method is usually used to plant plants for more than one year. Branching can usually be carried out in spring and autumn, and sowing should be carried out in early spring.

The method of dividing plants is to dig out the mother plants from the soil, clean up the soil around the roots, sun 1 2 days later, and cut off the perennial roots with a sharp knife. Each new plant can grow one or several buds. After planting new plants, water the roots once and then keep the soil slightly wet.

Second, matters needing attention

Hosta Hosta management should be based on the season and growth. For example, 65438+ 10 month, low temperature should prevent frostbite of root tuber; Loosen the soil and fertilize in March; After the temperature rises, pay attention to sun protection; In the rainy season, pay attention to drainage; Phosphate fertilizer should be applied at flowering stage; Pay attention to pruning after flowering; In winter, the withered part of the ground should be trimmed and covered with fine soil to prevent cold.
