玩轉(zhuǎn)網(wǎng)紅熱植，空姐帶你“入坑”

“熱植”，也就是熱帶植物，因?yàn)橛^賞性好而且好養(yǎng)易打理，近年來成了園藝界的“網(wǎng)紅”。

重慶航空空乘肖歐早在2019年底就入了“熱植”的“坑”。不到兩年時(shí)間，就從“熱植小白”成長為“熱植大神”，自家40平方米的客廳和陽臺，已被一百多盆“熱植”霸占了。

"Tropical planting"， has become an "online celebrity" of horticulture in recent years because they are beautiful and easy to take care of.

Xiao Ou， an air hostess from Chongqing Airlines， got obsessed with "tropical planting" as early as the end of 2019. It took her merely two years to turn from a green hand to the"master in tropical planting cultivation". Her 40-square-meter living room and balcony were occupied by more than 100 pots of tropical planting.

“熱植”顏色豐富、葉片樣式繁多，很容易在家里搭配出各種景觀，為小小的家增添一道獨(dú)特的風(fēng)景。對那些沒有種植經(jīng)驗(yàn)的新手，肖歐建議先試著種植觀葉秋海棠或者竹芋、海芋這類植物。其中秋海棠屬植物約有2000種，選擇空間很大，也很適應(yīng)重慶的氣候。

種植秋海棠，肖歐推薦用富含腐殖質(zhì)的微酸性砂土，比如堆肥土、腐葉土、泥炭等，不建議在花園里隨意取土，一方面土質(zhì)不一定適合，另一方面，園土往往攜帶致病蟲卵。

澆水是與植物最多的“互動”。作為新手，尤其要管住手，控制澆水頻率。以秋海棠為例，可以經(jīng)常向葉面及花盆周圍噴灑水霧以增加空氣濕度，但不要讓土壤過于濕潤以免積水、爛根。除了土壤的干濕程度，澆水還要根據(jù)植物不同的生長狀態(tài)，如果處于生長旺盛階段，可以加大澆水頻率；如果處于生長停滯期，應(yīng)減少澆水頻率。

Rich in color and leaf styles， "hot planting" can be matched in diverse ways adding a unique scenery to home. For those novices who have little planting experience， Xiao Ou recommends starting with begonia， arrowroot or arum. Among them， there are about 2，000 species of begonia， which are well adapted to the climate in Chongqing. That means you have a vast span of choice.

For begonias， Xiao Ou recommends using slightly acidic sand abundant with humus， such as compost soil， humus soil， peat and the like. It is not recommended to take soil in the garden at will. Because it may not suit. In addition， the garden soil tend to carry pest eggs.

Though watering comes as the most frequent "interaction" with plants， as a novice， you must not water too frequently. Taking begonias as an example， you can often spray water on leaves and flowerpots surroundings to increase air humidity， but to avoid water accumulation and root rot， please don’t spray too much water. Besides wetness of the soil， plant’s growth status should be taken into account. If it is growing exuberantly， then higher watering frequency is preferable. On the other hand， if it is in the growth stagnation period， it would be wise to water less frequently.

大多數(shù)“熱植”對溫度要求較高，低于十?dāng)z氏度就容易凍傷。因此，冬季需要將它們轉(zhuǎn)移到室內(nèi)。大多數(shù)“熱植”可以通過扦插繁育，肖歐通常用水苔扦插，有利植物發(fā)根。但由于水苔缺乏營養(yǎng)，需要定期施肥，后期移栽時(shí)要將植物根部的水苔清理干凈，否則也容易爛根。

要防止“熱植”爛根還要注意一點(diǎn)，就是不要圖方便，切忌大盆種小苗，這樣很難觀察土壤的干濕程度。可以根據(jù)植物大小，逐漸更換花盆。

目前，網(wǎng)絡(luò)上有不少新品種或者進(jìn)口的“熱植”，售價(jià)昂貴。對此，肖歐建議花友們不妨忍一忍，隨著貨源的增加，很多植物掉價(jià)也很快，“比如兩年前，我購買的秋海棠均價(jià)三百元，今年大多數(shù)都跌到了一百元以內(nèi)。”

園藝帶來的不僅是家中的這片風(fēng)景。肖歐說，“園藝其實(shí)是一個很治愈的過程。”她希望更多的人能夠愛上園藝，享受其中的樂趣。

Most "tropical planting" can only boom under particular temperature， and they are prone to be battered by frostbite when it is below ten degrees Celsius. Therefore， they need to be transferred indoors in winter. Most "hot planting" can be bred by cutting， and Xiao Ou normally cuts with water moss to help plants root. However， water moss’s lack of nutrient determines it is necessary to fertilize regularly. Meanwhile， the water moss at the root of the plant should be cleaned up during later transplanting， otherwise the "hot planting" may be vulnerable to root rot.

Another way to avoid root rot is to plant seeding in pot of proper size. If the pot is too small， it may be impossible for you to observe the soil moisture. The flowerpot should be selected depending on the size of the plant.

At present， numerous costly "tropical planning" can be found online. But Xiao Ou suggests that flower fans holding back for a moment since the price will fall quickly as the supply is increasing. "For example， two years ago， the begonia I bought was priced 300 yuan on average， but the it costs only 100 yuan this year." Xiao said.

Gardening brings more than scenery pleasing to the eye at home. Xiao said， "Gardening is actually a very healing process." She also hopes that more people can fall in love with gardening and enjoy it.
