CATDOLL : CATDOLL: Can you tell me about snapdragon?

1. Can you introduce snapdragon (Dermatophaga)?

Duckweed and snapdragon are two different plants. I know you are asking about duckweed. Here is a Baidu link about snapdragon.

2. What should you pay attention to when planting snapdragons?

①Pinch the tops in time. In order to increase the number of branches, pinching is necessary in time during cultivation, especially for medium and tall varieties. Generally, pinching is done when the seedling height is about 12 cm, and pinching is done again when the plant grows to 20 cm. This can promote the growth of side branches and dwarf the plant. For varieties used as cut flowers, pinching is not suitable, but the side buds should be removed to concentrate nutrients on the main branches. However, as the flower branches grow, they should be tied with thin bamboo in time to make them straight.

② Planting in sunny places. Since snapdragons like sunshine, it is advisable to choose a place with plenty of sunshine, loose, fertile and well-drained soil when planting. Usually, you need to pay attention to removing weeds, which is conducive to the growth and flowering of snapdragons.

③ Reasonable fertilization and watering. Snapdragon is a kind of flower plant that likes fertilizer, and the seedlings grow slowly. Before planting, the land should be plowed and base fertilizer should be applied. After planting, water it thoroughly once, and then it depends on the weather conditions to prevent the soil from being too dry or too wet. Fertilization, apply thin cake fertilizer water or liquid fertilizer mainly composed of nitrogen fertilizer twice during the growth period to promote the growth of branches and leaves, but be careful not to apply too much fertilizer, otherwise it will cause leggy growth and affect flowering. Apply thin liquid fertilizer mainly composed of phosphorus and potassium 1 to 2 times during the bud formation period, which is conducive to bright flower colors. Pay attention to drainage after rain. After flowering, you can cut off the above-ground part evenly and water it thoroughly once. After that, you need to pay attention to fertilizer and water management, and provide appropriate shade and cooling in summer so that it can bloom again in autumn.

④ Collect seeds in time. Snapdragon can self-sow and reproduce. When the fruits are ripe in June and July, they should be harvested in time. They can be cut together with the pedicels and placed on bamboo to dry. The seeds are shaken out and stored in a dry place. Sow in September. Snapdragon varieties are very easy to mix, so the mother plants for seed collection need to be planted in isolation to avoid hybrids.

3. How to plant snapdragons? Sowing and propagation methods of snapdragon seeds

How to plant snapdragon:

1. Breeding Methods

Mainly propagated by sowing. It can be sown in spring or autumn. Autumn sowing is mostly used in the Yangtze River Basin, and autumn sowing is also mostly used in pot sowing in northern regions. Autumn sowing seedlings grow stronger and bloom more luxuriantly than spring sowing seedlings. Seedlings emerge 7 to 10 days after autumn sowing. Soaking seeds in 50 to 400 mg/L gibberellin solution can increase the seed germination rate. Spring sowing should be carried out in March and April, and it can also be propagated by stem cuttings.

2. Field Management

Fertilization

After transplanting, in order to ensure the normal development of the column, topdressing should be applied frequently, generally once every 10 days during the growth period. A mixed fertilizer containing helium and potassium can be used, with a concentration of 0.01%.

Watering

Regularly loosen the pot, water it appropriately, and control watering in winter to make the plant grow healthily and have more and brighter flowers.

3. Disease and Pest Control

During the seedling stage of snapdragon, there may be seedling rot, which causes the root and stem to rot, and the plant to fall over or wither. The prevention method is to prevent the soil temperature from being too low. You can also spray with Bordeaux liquid.

4. How many snapdragons will be produced?

The maximum yield of snapdragon is 48 flowers, and using yield-increasing fertilizers can yield 96 flowers. Hope you are satisfied and adopt

5. What is the difference between snapdragon and impatiens?
