Chapter 481: Planting Begonia Leaves
Ye Yiren went to visit Mrs. Gu and Mr. Gu early in the morning, and when Ye Yiren arrived, the old lady was watering flowers at home, and the old man was looking for someone to play chess, Gu Jinzhang and Ren Linlin were not at home, hearing the maid's report on Ye Yiren's arrival, the old lady didn't know how surprised, so she hurriedly put down the kettle in her hand, and went to the living room, and saw Ye Yiren in the living room admiring the antique paintings in the living room, and the old lady quickly smiled and pulled Ye Yiren to sit down.
Looking at the energetic old lady in front of him, Ye Yiren smiled and said, "Grandma, I've come to see you."
Hearing Ye Yiren's words, the old lady laughed and didn't know how happy she was, and said, "Why didn't you call me before you came."
"Forgot" Ye Yiren touched her hair, she only remembered to come to the old lady before going out today, and forgot to call here to inform her that she was coming.
Hearing Ye Yiren's words, the old lady smiled and said, "If they knew that you were coming, they wouldn't have gone out."
Listening to the old lady's words, Ye Yiren laughed softly.
"Your grandfather has always said that he is bored, and so is your mother, who went out early in the morning, your grandfather went to find someone to play chess, and your mother also asked a few close friends to play mahjong together, and your father was even more busy and disappeared, just I was an old woman who had nothing to do, so I planted flowers at home" Mrs. Gu smiled and took Ye Yiren's hand affectionately and said.
Ye Yiren raised the corners of his mouth and said with a smile, "Grandma, it's good to plant flowers, planting flowers can not only cultivate self-cultivation, but also cultivate sentiment."
"Listening to your girl's words, she seems to know some of the same" The old lady smiled, but she was a little surprised that Ye Yiren still knew how to grow flowers.
Ye Yiren pursed his lips and smiled, "I don't know too much, but I learned some from my mother."
Ye Yiren's mother likes to grow flowers, so Ye Yiren has learned some fur from her mother's hands.
"Let's go, go to the garden with grandma to plant flowers" Hearing that Ye Yiren would plant flowers, Mrs. Gu was instantly interested, and her eyes were full of sparkle.
Seeing the sparkle in the old lady's eyes, Ye Yiren nodded with a smile, "Okay, let's go, grandma."
The two came to the garden, Ye Yiren glanced at the soil in the garden, she stepped forward and pinched the soil in the potted plant.
Seeing Ye Yiren pinching the dirt, dry soil, Old Madam Gu stepped forward and asked, "How is it, daughter-in-law grand?" ”。
Glancing at the old lady, Ye Yiren spoke, "Grandma, these soils are not fertile enough, and some are dry, in fact, they are not suitable for planting flowers."
Hearing Ye Yiren say this, the old lady frowned and asked, "Then granddaughter-in-law, what kind of soil do you want for this kind of flower?" ”。
Looking at the old lady, Ye Yiren spoke, "Grandma, the soil for planting flowers must be loose and breathable, and fine-grained peat grass or humus soil is generally used."
"What about this begonia leaf?" Looking at Ye Yiren, Old Madam Gu asked suspiciously.
Hearing Old Madam Gu's words, Ye Yiren turned his head, looked at the begonia leaf seeds in the old lady's hand, and said, "The seeds of the Four Seasons Begonia are small, and they don't have a long lifespan, and the seed germination rate in the next year has dropped significantly. The suitable temperature for germination is 20-22 degrees Celsius. Light is required, and the medium should be loose, with delayed fertilizer, and good pathability. After sowing, it is not covered, and it can be flattened. In addition, potassium nitrate solution 50 mg/kg can be sprayed 1-2 times to promote germination by using the action of potassium. It takes 7-10 days to germinate and 130-150 days to flower. Seeds germinate with only scattered light! ”。
Hearing Ye Yiren say this, Old Madam Gu's eyes were full of joy, and she smiled, "Yiren, I didn't expect you to understand this."
"Grandma, it's just the skin" Ye Yiren smiled, and there was some humility in his words.
"For me, an old lady, this is not a skin, come on, tell me again, let me know more" Old Madam Gu smiled, she was very surprised that Ye Yiren understood this.
"Okay" Ye Yiren nodded and continued, "Then let's talk about the sowing method."
Old Madam Gu nodded, "Okay."
"Grandma, if you plant flowers at home, you should consider the cultivation place of flowers, generally in a place that shades the rain or is properly shaded and cooled, and the general flowers do not need to be directly exposed to the sun, except for a few cacti and the like, so under such conditions, the possibility of flower planting is relatively large."
The old lady nodded, looking teachable.
"The second is to choose soft soil, I just told you" Glancing at the old lady, Ye Yiren pointed to the soil on the ground, "I don't recommend you to use this kind of soil, after all, its soil is not fertile enough."
After a pause, Ye Yiren continued again, "Then water, try to mix as much fungal as possible in the water, tobazin or chlorothalonil to achieve the purpose of soil disinfection, and then sprinkle the seeds on it."
Listening to Ye Yiren's words, the old lady flashed with surprise on her face and said, "It turns out that planting a flower is such a philosophy."
Ye Yiren smiled and said, "Grandma, that's more than that, and I haven't finished talking yet."
Hearing Ye Yiren say this, a smile flashed in Old Madam Gu's eyes, and she spoke, "Come on, come on, then you continue to listen, I'm very interested."
Ye Yiren smiled and nodded, "Then there are seeds, some sowing seeds do not need to cover the soil, but pay attention to the soil moisture should be wet enough, not let it dry, after planting, then water, watering, you must use a thin-spouted pot, or a spray-like kettle to water."
"Why?" Old Madam Gu asked suspiciously.
"Because I'm afraid that the seed will be washed away, or washed into the deep soil, then it will be a little difficult for it to germinate," Ye Yiren smiled and said softly.
Listening to Ye Yiren's words, Old Madam Gu nodded instructively.
"Then the large seeds should be covered with soil, and the thickness of the covering soil is about 2-3 times that of the seeds, and the thickness of the covering soil is also related to the good light and light protection of the seeds germination."
Seeing Ye Yiren's movements, Old Madam Gu smiled and said, "Yiren, you really surprised me, fortunately you understand this, otherwise my begonia leaves will be planted to death by me."
Ye Yiren raised the corners of his lips and asked, "Grandma, since you don't know how to grow flowers, why did you buy these begonia leaves?" ”。
Listening to Ye Yiren's question, Mrs. Gu waved her hand at Ye Yiren and said with a smile, "Where do I have the leisure to buy this, these begonia leaves are still given to me, I just have nothing to do, just plant for fun, how do I know that after planting some a few days ago, not only did it not bloom, but it also died, I was really angry."
Hearing Mrs. Gu say this, Ye Yiren smiled and said, "Grandma, then you want to plant flowers next time, if you don't understand, ask me."
