First, the flower language of cyclamen
Cyclamen comes from southern Europe, Greece and other Mediterranean regions and is a world-famous flower. This flower is colorful, unique and beautiful, and the newly-grown bud is like a shy and beautiful girl. Therefore, there are introverted and shy flowers in the flower language and flower meaning of cyclamen.
After cyclamen opened, the corolla rolled back, like a dancing butterfly and a rabbit's ear, which is why the rabbit's ear flower got its name. In western countries, cyclamen is mainly given away, which means to send good wishes.
Second, the meaning and legend of cyclamen 1, the legend of Jade Rabbit
According to legend, our sister Chang 'e had a thorn waiting for the Jade Rabbit to come down to meet Hou Yi. The Jade Rabbit ran into the garden while playing by herself. There are all kinds of beautiful flowers in the garden. Jade rabbit was tired of playing, so she went to rest under the big tree.
At this time, the old gardener in the garden is taking care of the flowers and plants. He takes care of the flowers and plants here gently and carefully, talks to them from time to time, and takes care of them like his own children. Flowers and plants seem to understand the old gardener's flower language and try to open themselves up to repay the old gardener's efforts.
Jade rabbit looked at all this and was deeply moved. It ran happily to the old gardener. The old gardener held it in his arms and stroked it gently, fearing that it would be hungry to pick grass and feed it. Yuru also told the old gardener where she came from, and they had a warm and friendly conversation and established a deep affection. Before leaving, Jade Rabbit took out a seed from her ear and gave it to the old gardener.
The old gardener sent the Jade Rabbit away, and missed it so much that he planted the seeds he sent. He carefully maintained and nurtured them, and finally the seeds germinated, grew up and produced beautiful flowers. These flowers are shaped like the ears of a jade rabbit, so the old gardener named them rabbit flowers. Later, people were also looking forward to the return of the Jade Rabbit, so they changed it to Cyclamen, meaning waiting for Cyclamen to fall from the sky.
2, the legend of the six fairies
A long time ago, it was said that in a small town, everyone gathered in the town to celebrate the Spring Festival in spring. Everyone sang, danced, danced yangko and set off fireworks, and had a good time. No one noticed a beautiful woman in the crowd. She celebrated with people. Her singing is beautiful, and so is her dancing. She also gave the gifts she brought to others. After the dance, the woman quietly left.
From then on, every Spring Festival, a beautiful woman arrived as promised, and people speculated that she might be a fairy in the sky. Whenever she appeared, everyone was shouting: cyclamen, cyclamen! This became her name. Only later did people know that this woman was really a fairy. She is the six fairies of the Queen Mother.
Six fairies met their elder sister, seven fairies, and came to earth for a private meeting with Yong Dong. They were so envious that they decided to go down to earth to find their true love. After many searches, she fell in love with a young man named Hua Lang. Hualang's parents died, and he lived by selling flowers alone.
Although Hualang is hardworking, simple, smart and handsome, his family is poor. Although all the girls in the town like him, no one wants to marry him. Six fairies met him and fell in love with him. Although Hua Lang doesn't know where the Six Fairies came from, she likes her very much. Therefore, the six fairies often come down to earth to have private meetings with them.
However, the good times did not last long, and the Queen Mother soon discovered that the six fairies often disappeared. One day, a flat peach party was held to celebrate the birthday. The ministers and daughters in the Heavenly Palace all arrived, but there were no six fairies. So, the Queen Mother sent someone to look for it on earth. Sure enough, she found six fairies secretly trysting with their lovers on earth.
The queen mother was very angry and gave a serious warning to the six fairies. Since then, the six fairies and Hua Lang Tian have separated. Hualang waited for a long time before the six fairies, so he didn't care about flowers and plants. He is unhappy and crying every day, and the flowers and plants in the garden are soon abandoned.
After a long time, the six fairies can't get rid of their yearning for Hualang. Finally, one day, she couldn't help sneaking down to the world to find Hua Lang again. She told the truth to Hua Lang, and they both cried bitterly. At this time, a group of heavenly soldiers came down and executed the six fairies on the spot according to the queen mother's will.
In Hualang's small garden, six elephants gave their lives for love. Later, many beautiful flowers grew in the place where the six fairies shed blood. It is speculated that the six fairies must be unwilling to leave and become flowers. In memory of these six fairies, people call these flowers cyclamen.
Third, the cultivation method and soil of Cyclamen persicum 1
Cyclamen should be kept in pots of suitable size, big plants and big pots, small plants and small pots. Basin soil should be dredged and ventilated, and neutral soil is suitable. Garden soil can be mixed with a small amount of calcium phosphate, or crushed river mud can be added with perlite. Before planting, the soil should be exposed to the sun and disinfected.
2. Lighting equipment
Cyclamen likes light, so it is necessary to keep enough light when breeding, especially in spring and autumn, when the temperature is 28℃ and the light is enough, the leaves are photosynthetic and grow rapidly. If there is insufficient light at this time, it will affect the growth of plants. But in summer, strong light can't be direct, so we should pay attention to shading.
water
Cyclamen likes water, so it should be watered frequently. Don't water too much at a time, and don't accumulate water. Long-term water accumulation will rot the roots and lead to plant death. Generally, the soil for cultivating the moisturizing basin can be moist, and more water is needed during the growing period, so as to increase the watering times.
4. Temperature
The optimum growth temperature of cyclamen persicum is 10℃ ~ 20℃. When the temperature is too high in summer, plants will enter dormancy, so it is necessary to reduce watering and fertilization, keep ventilation, and pay attention to the occurrence of root rot and pests; In winter, when the temperature is below 5℃, plants will stop growing, and when the temperature is below 0℃, plants will freeze to death.
5, fertilization
Cyclamen does not require much fertilizer. Nitrogen and potassium fertilizers are the main fertilizers in the growing period, which can make plants flourish. Phosphate fertilizer should be mainly applied before flowering to promote the formation of flower buds and bright colors and increase flowering period.
Conclusion: Cyclamen persicum is a shy and introverted flower with bright colors, which gives people a quiet feeling. Personally, I think it is very suitable for breeding in the study, and the flower friends who feel the same way also try to put a pot of study.
