Tips about Cultivating Flowers

Most of us appreciate beautiful flowers. We are into the orchid in spring and the chrysanthemum in autumn as we fall in love with summer’s jasmine and winter’s plum blooming. For a dream of being a real flower admirer, we gave it a shot to grow flowers on our own. Unfortunately, most people ended it up with failures because of lacking related knowledge. Actually, some flowers are so fragile as to need special care with the help of greenhouse.

If you have a small garden, a mid walk-in greenhouse is your best choice for some potted plants such as potted camellia, western cuckoo and bamboo palm. These plants are in need of keeping in cold chamber for over-wintering. As long as a little protection, they can be safe in the dormancy state under the condition of the cold winter. After the flowers are put into the greenhouse, we’d better pay attention to aeration-cooling in sunny days. Especially, no excessive desire for high temperature that is able to break dormancy into the growth, and the cold resistance will be greatly weakened.

However, if your garden is big enough, and you don’t like the traditional greenhouse, then you can choose a polytunnel greenhouse to cultivate comparatively large plants just like cactus, bromeliad and Brazil ironwood. They need high temperature in greenhouse to go through chilly winter. Therefore, only relying on greenhouse is still far from satisfaction and other measures should be taken for their safety. Firstly, cover insulation work material on the greenhouse to prevent heat loss at night. Secondly, if your greenhouse is double-deck, it’ll be better. Thirdly, heat it with electric heating facilities or boiler.

In addition, considering high air humidity inside the greenhouse, we must pay special attention to prevention and control work of black rot, powdery mildew and other fungal diseases. In order to meet the demands of different flowers and easy to manage, the best plastic shed is of the same species. If there is no condition, flowers should be classified according to the different requirements of the temperature. And stop fertilization and control water for over-wintering plants, which is good to be away from the death of seeding root rot when maintaining a semi-dry state. Hope this article will be helpful and looking forward to hear from you.
