Growth habit
Primula is a typical warm-temperate plant. It prefers a cool, humid environment and well-drained, humus-rich soil. It is not resistant to high temperatures and strong direct sunlight, and most of them are not resistant to severe cold.
Primulas generally used as potted flowers in cold greenhouses should be cultivated in neutral soil. Not tolerant to frost, early flowering. Primula vulgaris, arranged as an open-field flowerbed, is suitable for growing on a shady slope or semi-shady environment, and it likes soil with good drainage and rich in humus.
Cultivation Techniques
Soil: It is advisable to use 2 parts of leaf mulch soil and 1 part of garden soil for pot soil, and apply a small amount of basal fertilizer to cultivation soil. This kind of culture soil is loose and fertile, mostly slightly acidic, to facilitate root development.
Light: It is most suitable for winter, and it likes an environment with warm and sufficient sunlight; in summer, it should be properly shaded and gradually full sunlight after the temperature drops. Primula likes a warm environment with sufficient sunlight, but is afraid of strong sunlight. Therefore, the plant should be placed in a cool and ventilated place with sufficient diffuse light during the seedling period in summer. Starting in September, the sunlight is not so strong, so that the potted plants can receive more scattered light; from October, all the plants can be placed in the sun, so that they can receive more light in late autumn when the temperature drops , To promote its growth and flower bud differentiation.
Temperature: Primula likes to be warmer and more resistant to cold weather. The suitable temperature for primula growth is about 15-30℃, and try to be above 10℃ in winter; The two poles of the growth temperature are at 0°C and 35°C. Overheating or overcooling will cause the plants to wither and make them unable to develop normally.
Moisture: once in the morning and evening in summer, reduce watering after autumn; primroses like a humid climate, but do not water too much, and prevent the root rotten phenomenon caused by over-humid soil. Improper watering in summer will cause the plants to stop growing and the leaves will turn yellow. In summer, you can water each time in the morning and evening. It is dry and hot at noon, you need to spray water around the plants to keep the pot soil and the surrounding environment humidity, lower the temperature, and create a cool and humid growth environment. Gradually reduce watering in autumn, and watering should be appropriate as the pregnancy buds bloom after winter, but not too much.
Fertilization: Slow the seedlings for about 8-10 days, apply a compound fertilizer of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium once. In autumn, the climate gradually becomes cooler, and the primula is also in the vigorous growth season. At this time, the fertilizer of the flowers should be strengthened; phosphate fertilizer should be appropriately increased in the late stage of primula growth, and 0.3% dihydrogen phosphate should be sprayed on the foliage every half month Potassium solution, which can promote pregnancy buds to bloom.
How to prune: During the flowering period, remove some of the flowering branches of the plant that has just set seeds, and apply 1-2 times of compound phosphorus and potassium fertilizer to make the seeds grow fuller. When the flowers are withered, cut them off in time, and apply 1-2 times of thin fertilizer, which is conducive to the promotion and growth of flowering branches, so that the plants continue to bloom.
Precautions:
1. Please store the seeds in a cool, dry place.
2. The thickness of the soil covering on the seed surface is 1-2 times the seed diameter.
3. Losses caused by climatic conditions or improper cultivation techniques, no economic responsibility beyond the seed price.
