2. How to grow goldfish flowers

Goldfish flowers prefer high temperature, high humidity and cool environment. If placed in the sun for a long time, it will be too dry or the temperature is too low in winter and it will cause leaves to fall.

Cultivation method:

1. The base soil for cultivation is a mixture of leaf mold, manure and sand in a ratio of 3:1:1, with a pH value of 6 to 6.5. Apply a thin compound fertilizer solution every month. In the first two months of flowering, apply phosphorus and potassium fertilizer solution once every half month. Repot every other year.

2. The suitable temperature for growth is 16℃ to 28℃. When the temperature is above 30℃, shade and ventilation must be strengthened, otherwise leaves will fall. The temperature should be kept at least above 10℃ during the winter.

3. Shade-tolerant, suitable for scattered light, avoid strong direct sunlight. Water thoroughly when the surface of the pot soil is dry, spray water on the leaves and around the plants frequently to increase air humidity, and reduce watering in winter.

4. After flowering, all weak branches, top branches and overly long drooping branches should be pruned. In winter, withered flower stems should be cut off from the base and kept dry to facilitate the sprouting and growth of new flower branches in the following spring.

5. Cutting propagation is mainly used. Cut the branches with nodes, about 8 cm each, cut off half of the upper leaves, and cut off all the lower leaves. Keep the environment semi-shaded and moist. It can take root and be potted in about 30 days. It can also be propagated by division, which is carried out in early spring or late autumn. Each clump must have 1 to 2 terminal buds, and 2 to 3 plants are planted in each pot.

Goldfish flowers should be watered more often in spring, summer and autumn. The ground around them should be sprayed with clean water frequently, but water should not be sprayed on the leaves. In summer, when the temperature is high, it is best to place the flower pot in a shallow tray filled with water. These measures can prevent leaves from falling due to dry air. Goldfish flowers should also be watered more appropriately before they bloom in winter and spring, so that the flowers can bloom fully and have bright and colorful colors.

These two types of fish are usually not kept together.

Although the two fish are closely related biologically, people have long bred goldfish, which makes them move slowly. If the two fish are kept together, although there may not be a conflict, koi is obviously stronger than goldfish in terms of mobility and ability to grab food. If they are fed, it is easy to cause an unbalanced situation where koi will die of gluttony and goldfish will die of starvation. On the other hand, people have different appreciation angles for goldfish and koi. If the two are kept together, it is like a person wearing a wedding dress and jeans. Although both the wedding dress and jeans are beautiful, putting them together will create a sense of disharmony.

Goldfish's words:

Nematanthus wettsteinii, also known as goldfish flower, kangaroo spider plant, kangaroo flower, hanging goldfish, etc. It is a perennial herbaceous plant of the genus Antirrhinum in the Gesneriaceae family, with a semi-woody base. Nematanthus wettsteinii is native to Costa Rica and Panama.

Chlorophytum comosum likes high temperature, high humidity, and negative environment. If it is placed in the sun for a long time, it will cause leaves to fall if it is too dry or the temperature is too low in winter. The suitable temperature for the growth of Chlorophytum comosum is 18-22℃. It should avoid low temperature. If the temperature is lower than 10℃ for two consecutive days, the leaves will start to turn yellow and dry, and will fall off with a very slight vibration. In addition to low temperature, the leaves will also fall off if the temperature exceeds 30℃ continuously. In the high temperature in summer, Chlorophytum comosum grows very slowly or almost stops growing. At this time, appropriate shading measures should be taken to make it grow vigorously and not fall off leaves.
