Cultivation of American purslane
American purslane, also known as big flower purslane, is a perennial herb of purslane purslane, which is very similar to our common yellow purslane purslane. Its stem is purplish red and the leaves are fleshy and plump. Lanceolate, obovate or cuneate, apex rounded, slightly concave or truncate, plants covered, only flowers large, red, and buds of yellow, red and other varieties. The flower pattern is similar to that of the single half-branch lotus flower. The flower is blooming and the flowering period is open from May to November. As a result of its early fall, many can't mature. Nowadays, the varieties that have been crossed by people after they have been crossbred with a half-branch lotus have been able to harvest mature seeds. American purslane is not only similar in shape to purslane, but also has many similarities in its habits. It is strong in stress resistance, Xiyang is drought-tolerant, it is high in temperature and resistant to barren, and it is good in fertilizer. It does not require strict soil, and it has good drainage in rich fertility. It is better to grow in light sand soil. If you can follow the following points in your management according to their love and disgust, you can receive more satisfactory results. American purslane and the sun are most relevant, not afraid of the hot sun, the better light in the summer, the more prosperous flowering, the longer the duration, on the contrary, the rainy days are less open or completely open. Although this flower is resistant to barren, it is also good for fertilizer. In the growing season, sufficient fertilizer should be given. The manure or chemical fertilizer should be used alternately once a week, and the concentration can be appropriately increased. Because the high temperature period in summer is the most vigorous stage of growth and flowering, it is necessary to maintain sufficient water during this period, which can help its growth, but it should be noted that it is impossible to allow the soil to accumulate water for a long time after rain. It doesn't matter if it's a little dry, don't worry about it being dried up. The breeding of American purslane mainly uses the cutting method, that is, during the growth period, the branches are removed, the shades do not need to be shaded, and one week can survive. The potted plants can be directly inserted into the pots, and a pot can be inserted into the three plants. After rooting, sufficient water and fertilizer can be given. After one month, the plants can be filled with verdure. Since then, the flowering has been repeated. The promotion of branching will give you more time to spend on flowers. American purslane is difficult to obtain because of its seeds, and because it fears the cold, it must be wintered in the mother's home during the winter. In early winter, the mother plants that have been cut into the stems are not easy to directly retain because of their leafy foliage and poor ventilation. The overwintering mother plants should be cut in August-September, and put into the greenhouse in early November to maintain the room temperature above 7 degrees to avoid freezing. However, one must control watering, and after drying, only pour 6-7 into water, do not drench it, and pay attention to ventilation. Otherwise, the humidity will be high and the stems and leaves will rot easily. If it is properly managed, it can bloom indoors in May of the next year, and it will gradually grow vigorously until mid-June. China Agricultural Network Editor
