morphology

annual herb, plant height 30 - 40 cm. Stems and leaves with hairs, opposite leaves, oval or oblong, yellow-green leaves. Irregular poly umbrella inflorescence, flowers with two lips, the shape of two bladders, small upper lip erect, lower lip enlargement, such as pockets, up to 3 cm diameter, stigma between the two bladders, stigma west have a stamen. Beautiful flower Duoqi Te, colored white, yellow, red, purple and other color, but also on the background or a tiger stripe who usually flowering in February-May.



Calceolaria flower growth habit cold intolerance, fear of high-temperature, hi cool, the air moist, well-ventilated, should be in the low-temperature room for the training.

requires adequate light, but the summer to avoid the glare, the winter temperature is maintained at 5 ℃ to 10 ℃, not too high.

to slightly acidic soil is suitable, the ratio of main components: leaf mold 4 copies 5 copies of garden soil, sand 1. During the growth of high air humidity should be maintained,UGG boots, but soil moisture is not too large.

Calceolaria flower leaves are down, so watering, top dressing fertilizer and water when not to stick on the leaves, so that leaves victims to rot.

Calceolaria flower plants for the long days of sunshine is less than 14 hours will only be vegetative growth, more than 14 hours, you can flower buds. For early flowering can increase the exposure time (per square meter 80W, light each day 6-8 hours). November add light to the end of the second year 1 to blossom.

captive breeding of the main

to seed propagation. Calceolaria flower seeds small seeds per gram of about 25,000, the germination temperature for 18 ~ 21 ℃. ~ September 8 broadcast interior basin, early sowing due to high temperature,UGG boots clearanc, easy to pour seedlings, planting of flowering late. Pots with soil to be pasteurized sowing, sowing pots Pentu to compress the time will be thrown into the seed and flatten it gently, do not cover soil, pelvic floor covered with glass or film after immersion in water, put half shade, 7 to 10 days after sowing germination. Cotyledon emergence after thinning or transplant seedlings in time, and pay attention to ventilation and to maintain humidity.

sowing 20 days after emergence, seedling height 2.5 cm when the first transplant seedlings with soil. 30 days after transplant seedlings, height 5 cm when the planting of 10 to 15 cm pots. Room temperature to 10 ~ 12 ℃ for good. Such as forcing culture, a daily supplement of 6 to 8 hours light, can be an early blossom. Growing attention to ventilation and shade, pest occurrence and burn leaves. 1 per half fertilization. Nitrogen can not be excessive, otherwise easily lead to stem excessive growth and severe shrinkage. When out of flowers,UGGs, the increased P and K applied 1 or 2 times. Meanwhile, between axillary bud should be removed promptly, otherwise the lateral flowers too much, not only affects the development of the main squid, also caused plant type is not correct,UGG shoes, the lack of commercial value. In the scale of production, when the main shoots from the basal leaves start to high growth, it can be 0.2% ~ 0.3% CCC, foliar spray 1 or 2 times, to control the plant leggy, down individual plant. Flowering, strict control of water, room temperature maintained at 8 ~ 10 ℃, and artificial pollination can increase seed set. Seed of the temperature gradually, taking ventilation, shading and other cooling measures to fully mature fruit, or high temperature and humidity, and other fruits are not mature, plants have withered dead.

in hot and humid conditions, can lead to decay of roots and leaves of flowers such as Calceolaria physiological diseases, growing season must pay attention to ventilation and shade. Pests are aphids and spider mite damage flowers and leaves, can be 40% Dimethoate EC 1500 times Pensha control.
