As we know, ping pong daisy is a perennial herbaceous flower of the daisy family, which comes in yellow, white, green and red. It is called “ping pong chrysanthemum” because its round ball-shaped flowers resemble ping pong. This flower can not only purify the air and emit a charming flower fragrance, but also through photosynthesis adsorption of airborne impurities, carbon monoxide, nitrogen dioxide gas or substances, but also can release healthy anions, adjusting the effect of indoor air quality. So since the benefits are so many, why is it not good to keep indoors? Here we understand the growth habits of the ping pong daisy through analysis.
Ping pong daisy, the light requirements are relatively high, neither like high temperature, there is no low temperature, the growth temperature in 18-21 ℃, with underground stems it is relatively drought-resistant, but afraid of water, like loose fertile, humus containing high slightly acidic soil. If the long-term in the air humidity is too large, the temperature difference between day and night, poor ventilation conditions, it is easy to cause pests and diseases, resulting in poor growth.
A, indoor why not suitable for breeding ping pong daisy
1, the light is relatively weak, light time is not enough. Ping pong chrysanthemum on the high requirements of light, at least 10 hours of light every day to ensure the normal development and growth.
2, poor ventilation conditions. Ping pong chrysanthemum is more delicate, if the house is not ventilated, or less ventilation is easy to disease.
3, the air humidity is high. Indoor natural light and poor ventilation, moisture evaporation is slow, not to mention that a few dozen evaporation and some residue in the room, if long-term rain or moisture, is not conducive to the growth of ping pong chrysanthemum.
Second, indoor raising ping pong chrysanthemum, you need to pay attention to the following points.
1, try to put the ping pong chrysanthemum on the balcony or against the balcony facing south by the window, but to avoid direct light.
2, appropriate window ventilation, to ensure that the daily light time is not less than 10 hours, the night temperature is best not less than 10 ℃.
3, uniform light, timely rotation of the pot to.
4、Watering should follow the principle of “see dry, see wet”. Not dry, not watering, watering on watering, you can put a layer of ceramic pellets or vermiculite in the bottom of the pot to enhance drainage, to avoid overwatering the phenomenon of waterlogging.
5, fertilization of organic fertilizer in the early stage, the late fertilization using a compound fertilizer based on nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium.
6, diligent pruning, keep the whole plant permeability, reduce the chance of pests and diseases. Once infected with pests and diseases, you can use thiophanate-methyl and carbendazim for control.
