Iron chopsticks flower is a plant of Ranunculaceae, also known as cerrito. This is a plant that is not afraid of freezing. Flowers can also bloom in winter. The pattern of the flower is very similar to a small bell. There are many colors, such as white, pink, purple, crimson and multicolor. It is very beautiful.
Iron chopsticks flowers are cold-resistant and temperature-resistant.
1, growth temperature
Iron chopsticks flowers like warm environment and have good cold resistance. The optimum growth temperature is between 15 and 28 degrees. The southern region can normally grow outdoors and overwinter, and the central region can also normally overwinter and bloom in early spring.
2. Overwintering temperature
Iron chopsticks flowers have good cold resistance. In the environment above-10 degrees, flowering is no problem. When the temperature is below-10 degrees, the leaves may wither due to the cold, but the underground roots are good and will continue to grow when the temperature rises.
3. Low temperature and minimum temperature
Iron chopsticks are very cold-resistant, and can withstand the low temperature of MINUS 35 degrees in winter, but the time is very short. If they are kept at this temperature for a long time, they are easily frostbitten, or they may freeze to death directly.
How to raise iron chopsticks in winter?
1, watch more sunshine
Iron chopsticks have plenty of sunshine, and the light in winter is mild, so they can bask in the sun more. Through sunlight, they can promote photosynthesis, which can accumulate more nutrients and is conducive to flowering.
2. Proper water control
Although iron chopstick flowers like humid environment, they grow slowly in winter, and have little demand for water, so they can't be watered too much. Pay special attention to the water temperature, and don't pour it directly with cold water. It's best to leave them indoors for a while before watering.
Step 3 suspend fertilization
The flowering period of iron chopsticks is in winter. More phosphorus and potassium fertilizers can be applied before winter to promote flowering. There is less demand for fertilizer in winter, so it is necessary to strictly control fertilization or suspend fertilization.
