Growth habits: Verbena hybrida likes a warm and humid climate, with plenty of sunlight and intolerance to shade; it is more cold-tolerant and intolerant to drought, and is often cultivated as annual grass and flowers. It can bloom normally in the hot summer. The soil requirements are not strict, but it is planted on loose, fertile, and humid neutral soil, which grows robustly and blooms luxuriantly.
Little knowledge of growing flowers: 1. Soil: It does not have strict requirements on the soil, but it can grow roots in a loose, fertile, and relatively humid neutral soil, grow robustly, and bloom and bloom.
2. Watering: Because of its shallow root system, watering should be paid attention to in summer to prevent drought. Too much or too little water in the curing period is not conducive to growth. Too much water will result in weak stems and reduced blooming; lack of water will result in poor plant growth and early fruiting.
3. Sunlight: It needs to be maintained under shade conditions in spring, summer and autumn. When the temperature is high, if it is kept under direct sunlight, the leaves will become smaller, the internodes of the branches will be shortened, the feet and leaves will yellow and fall off, and the growth will be very slow or enter a semi-dormant state.
4. Temperature: It likes a warm climate and avoids extreme heat. It grows poorly when the temperature is higher than 35℃ in summer; it is not tolerant to frost and enters dormancy or death when the temperature is lower than 4℃ in winter. The most suitable growth temperature is 15-30℃. Planting is generally done in autumn and winter to avoid high temperatures in summer.
5. Fertilization: Like other grass and flowers, it requires more fertilizer and water, but it is required to follow the fertilization (water) principle of “light fertilizer, frequent application, small quantity and more frequent, complete nutrition”, and after fertilization, keep the leaves and water at night The flowers are dry.
6. Pruning: It usually performs topping twice before flowering to promote the germination of more flowering branches.
The verbena are not only beautiful in flowers, but also in various colors. They are very good ground cover plants for beautifying the environment and brightening the city. Mid-to-late September is the season for planting beautiful cherry blossoms. There are two planting methods: sowing and cutting. Here we mainly introduce how to sow Verbena hybrida with seeds.
1. to promote germination If the seeds are sown directly into the ground, the germination rate is very low, so we’d better start germination first. First prepare warm water of about 35-40 degrees Celsius, and then soak the seeds in the water. It takes about 3-10 hours. The specific time can be judged according to the degree of water absorption by the seeds. Wait until the seeds swell up due to sufficient water absorption, remove the seeds from the water, and the germination is completed.
2. Seeding First prepare the soil: if it is planting in the field, first consolidate the land, loosen the soil, add fertilizer and manure to make it suitable for the growth of Verbena hybrida seeds; if it is a potted plant, prepare potting soil, you can use leaf-mould or bean dregs soil make base fertilizer.
Then start planting: If it is planted in the field, first ditch the ditch with a distance of 3 cm between each ditch. Place seeds in the ditch with a distance of 3 cm between the seeds, and then cover with soil; if it is planted in a flower pot, use the “pot soaking method” , Put the seeds in the flowerpots with intervals, cover about 1 cm of soil, and put the whole pot in the water. The water should not be too deep, about half the size of the flowerpot. When the soil surface changes color, take it out and place it in a suitable place for cultivation.
3. Sunlight Management There must be enough light for the seeds to germinate and grow. Every day from 9 am to 4 pm, it is best to keep sunlight at these times. If it is covered with warmth, after it germinates, uncover the warmth so that it can grow healthily under the sunlight.
4. Thinning management After the seeds grow into small seedlings, there will be some weak, sick, and redundant seedlings. At this time, thinning management is needed. First, remove the weak, sick, and redundant seedlings to save soil fertility; then fill the areas where there are no buds with seedlings to make them grow neatly.
