The residue after decoction of traditional Chinese medicine is a good fertilizer for flower cultivation. Because most Chinese medicines are roots, stems, leaves, flowers, fruits and skins of plants, limbs, organs and shells of animals, and some minerals, which are rich in organic and inorganic substances. Nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium fertilizer needed for plant growth are all found in traditional Chinese medicine. Using Chinese medicine residue as fertilizer has many benefits for planting flowers and trees, which can improve the permeability of soil.
If Chinese medicine residue is to be used as flower fertilizer, it must be put into containers such as tanks and bowls, mixed with garden soil, soaked in water for a period of time, and then used after the residue decays into humus. Generally, the residue is put into the basin as the base fertilizer, or it can be directly mixed into the cultivation soil. Of course, it is not advisable to put too much residual fertilizer. Generally, the mixing ratio should not exceed one tenth, which will affect the growth of flowers and trees.
2. The magical use of vinegar
1. Raising southern flowers in the north and adding proper amount of vinegar when pouring basin soil can promote the absorption of trace elements such as phosphorus and iron and prevent yellowing of branches and leaves. 2. Spraying leaves and buds with 40% vinegar can increase the accumulation of photosynthetic products, increase flowers, make leaves greener and flowers more colorful. 3. Potted flowers with organic fertilizer will have a bad smell indoors. If proper vinegar is poured, it can not only eliminate the odor, but also sterilize the soil. 4, cotton balls dipped in vinegar to wipe the flowers and leaves, can make scale insects, red spiders, aphids and so on. And then sweep it down to eliminate it. 5. Spray alkaline drugs (stone sulfur mixture, Tujunte, thiram, etc.). Spraying proper amount of vinegar on branches and leaves can reduce phytotoxicity. 6. When preparing or applying alkaline drugs, wash hands and utensils with vinegar water, which can remove residual drugs and play a disinfection role.
3. Please make your own acid soil.
The acid pot soil needed for flower cultivation in the south and in the north can be made at home. Collect pine needle leaves, willow leaves and poplar leaves in autumn, put them in large flowerpots or black plastic bags, add a little ferrous sulfate or ferric citrate to one layer of leaves and one layer of peat soil or garden soil, soak them in water, cover them and compact them. After a fermentation in autumn and winter, acidic soil was made. Willow leaf fertilizer is most suitable for Milan, Gardenia, Osmanthus fragrans, Four Seasons Spring, Four Seasons Begonia, Guayeju and Cyclamen. Usually, the mixed solution of ferrous sulfate, ferric citrate and water is also helpful for maintenance. According to the ratio of spring 12: 6: 100 and summer: 6: 4: 100, then put it into a soft plastic bottle, bury the bottle in the soil, and screw the bottle cap tightly until it leaks slightly, so that the fertilizer solution can slowly penetrate into the soil.
4. It is good to plant flowers with bean curd residue as fertilizer.
Soybean residue is non-alkaline and is a high-quality fertilizer. Although it is the residue after pulping and juicing, it still contains a considerable amount of protein, vitamins and carbohydrates. After artificial treatment, it is most suitable for the growth of flower seedlings. The method of self-made bean dregs fertilizer is to put bean dregs into a jar and add 10 times of clear water for fermentation (about 10 days in summer and about 20 days in spring and autumn). Then add 10 times of clear water and mix well to water all kinds of potted flowers. The effect is really good. In particular, watering cactus flowers such as epiphyllum, lotus, crab claw orchid, overlord whip, cactus and cactus has better effect.
Step 5 make your own flower fertilizer
Deteriorated glucose powder is a good flower fertilizer. A small amount of mashed deteriorated glucose powder is mixed with clean water according to the ratio of 1: 100, and used for watering flowers and trees, which can promote the yellow leaves of flowers and trees to turn green and flourish. Suitable for chlorophytum, Rosa davurica, Evergreen, Phyllostachys pubescens, etc.
Taomi water and rotten tomatoes are fermented to make flower fertilizer. Taomi water and rotten tomatoes are put in a container and fermented to water flowers and trees, which will make them flourish.
Water the flowers with baking soda solution. Family flowers, when the flowers are in bud, watering them with baking soda solution of one ten thousand concentration will promote the flowers to flourish. Promoting the growth of moss in bonsai rocks with precipitated rice washing water. Put the rock bonsai in a damp place, and water the places where moss needs to grow with precipitated rice washing water every day. Under normal circumstances, 15-20 days can produce moss.
6. Beer is also a good fertilizer.
Beer has a good effect on flower cultivation, because it contains a lot of carbon dioxide, which is an indispensable substance for the metabolism of various plants and flowers, and beer contains nutrients such as sugar, protein, amino acids and phosphate, which is beneficial to flower growth.
1, water the flowers. Watering flowers with a proper amount of beer can make them grow vigorously, the leaves are green and the flowers are bright, which can not only make them get enough nutrients, but also absorb them very quickly. The specific method is to mix water and beer evenly according to the ratio of 1: 50 and use it.
2. Spray the leaves. After water and beer are mixed evenly according to the ratio of 1: 10, foliar spraying can also get the effect of fertilization outside the roots.
3. Wipe the leaves with beer. Leaf-watching flowers and trees can be dipped in beer with absorbent cotton or clean soft cloth, and gently wipe the leaves. Because leaves can directly absorb nutrients, the leaves of flowers are greener and more shiny, and the texture of leaves is fuller.
4, used for flower arrangement. Pouring110 beer into the vase can make the flower arrangement more beautiful and prolong the viewing time for several days.
7. How to make sesame sauce residue and cake fertilizer?
Usually, we call peanut, sunflower seed, sesame and bean dregs after oil pressing as oil cake and sesame sauce dregs respectively. They are nutritious feeds and good raw materials for retting high-efficiency organic fertilizers. The general process of retting liquid fertilizer is as follows: the sesame paste residue or bean cake is crushed, put into a tank, mixed with 10 times water, and covered tightly. It can be fermented for more than half a month in summer to make fermented pulp. When in use, it is diluted by 20-50 times with water according to the dosage, and carefully stirred to make the first-class organic liquid fertilizer with strong brown color. The preparation and application of sesame sauce residue bean cake liquid fertilizer must be as follows: first, the applied liquid fertilizer must be fully decomposed; Second, sesame sauce residue or cake, after soaking and fermentation, must be diluted with water according to a certain proportion, and then poured on flowers and trees after reducing the concentration. And it should be applied in small quantities and many times. Third, because sesame sauce residue or cake fertilizer is a quick-acting fertilizer with high fertilizer efficiency, it is necessary to avoid pouring liquid fertilizer on branches, leaves and flowers of flowers and trees. If it is not small, wash it off with clear water in time.
In addition to retting liquid fertilizer, sesame sauce residue, bean cake and garden soil can be mixed according to the ratio of 1: 5, piled and decomposed to make granular fertilizer, which can be used as base fertilizer. Apply it to soil or change pots of flowers and trees as base fertilizer. Pay special attention not to overdo it when smearing. For flowers and trees that like fertilizer, it is enough to apply it in a pot of 20cm 15-20g once.
8, residual tea eggshell watermelon skin cover pot soil is not suitable.
It is common that when some families plant flowers and trees, they directly buckle the residual tea, eggshells and even watermelon skins on the pot soil, hoping to increase the fertility of the pot soil. In fact, this method is not scientific. Residual tea is easy to be moldy and smelly, which pollutes indoor air and is unsightly. Excessive humidity will attract anaerobic microorganisms, bacteria and tide insects to gather and reproduce. It is also unsightly for eggshells to be buckled on the basin soil, and at the same time, the residual egg whites flow into the surface of the basin soil, directly blocking capillaries and affecting soil ventilation and root respiration. Furthermore, the fermentation of egg yolk will produce hydrogen sulfide gas, which is smelly and pollutes the indoor air, and it will also attract flies, especially flies, and produce root maggots. As for watermelon peel, some people say that it can reduce water evaporation, which can be used as water source for potted flowers and fertilizer. In fact, in hot and humid weather, the melon skin will rot quickly, sour and smelly, and it will attract flies. So don't directly cover the flowerpot with tea residue, eggshell and watermelon peel. These things can be mixed with garden soil for composting before use.
9, flowers and trees foliar fertilization points
1, spraying position: pay attention to the landing position of leaves when spraying leaves. Because young leaves are in the development stage, their photosynthesis and absorption and conduction functions are weaker than those of mature leaves, so foliar fertilization should be mainly based on the leaves in the middle of branches of flowers and trees, and the leaves in the middle of branches have the most vigorous metabolism and strong adhesion and absorption ability to fertilizer solutions.
2. Spraying time: Choose different time in different seasons. Generally, it is better to spray at the temperature of 18-25℃, and the leaves absorb it quickly. In summer, it is best to choose the evening, because the water in the solution will not evaporate quickly at this time, and water molecules will bring nutrients into the leaves. Don't use flowers and trees in flowering period to prevent fertilizer damage.
3. Adding adhesive: 0.20% neutral washing powder can be added to the solution to increase the adhesion of the solution to the leaves and improve the absorption effect. 4. Reasonable mixed spraying: In order to save labor, foliar fertilizer can be sprayed together with pesticides and fungicides. However, attention should be paid to the acidity and alkalinity of drugs, and chemical reactions should not occur to destroy fertilizer efficiency and drug efficacy.
10, how to use ferrous sulfate?
Ferrous sulfate is generally suitable for flowers and trees that like acidic soil, especially potted camellia, rhododendron and gardenia. Because the acidity of the basin soil is weakened and the leaves turn yellow or even sharp, ferrous sulfate can be applied.
Ferrous sulfate is an inorganic chemical fertilizer, which can promote the chlorophyll synthesis of flowers and trees. However, it should not be applied frequently, only four or five times a year. Frequent application will affect root growth. There are two application methods: one is root application. Dissolve ferrous sulfate in fat water or clear water and directly water flowers and trees. The solution concentration can be controlled at 1-2%. In addition, ferrous sulfate can also be directly placed on the topsoil of the flowerpot and gradually absorbed when watering. A 20cm flowerpot can be put in 1g for the first time. The second is external fertilization. Ferrous sulfate can be dissolved in water, applied to stems and leaves with a sprayer, and absorbed through the pores on the leaves, thus directly exerting fertilizer efficiency. When spraying, it is best to do it in the morning and evening on a windless rainy day. The dosage can be 0. 1%-0.3%, or it can be used together with urea, and the effect will be better. The same effect as ferrous sulfate is a chemical called ferric citrate. These two preparations are sold in chemical retail outlets, and the preparation and use methods are the same.
