我的虾苗修剪实验

 我的虾苗修剪实验

Thomas Sullivan

尽管我从事园艺工作已经 50 多年了(哎呀--那可真是一段漫长的岁月啊!),也有自己屡试不爽的方法,但我还是喜欢时不时地做一些小实验。 是的,我必须承认,我用自己好奇的方法把一些植物送进了绿色垃圾桶。 我买房子的时候继承了这两棵虾跖草,并一直在一月份对它们进行修剪。 今年,我决定是时候进行一次虾苗修剪实验了。

虾跖草的植物学名称是 Justicia brandegeeana,长得非常茂盛。 在圣巴巴拉,如果冬天比较干燥温暖,而且不剪掉的话,它们就会疯狂地开花,几乎不停歇。 随着时间的推移,它们往往会变得腿脚不便,就像其他疯狂开花的植物一样,它们需要被修剪下来,以便休息和恢复活力!

这是我修剪掉的虾草。

这是我没有修剪的另一棵。 这两张照片拍摄于七月中旬。 在这两张照片中,它们看起来没有什么不同,但在实物&;视频中,它们确实有很大不同。

今年冬天再次变得温和干燥,所以当一月底到来时,这些虾仍然在开花。 叶子看起来有点疲惫,但繁茂的花朵绝对让人分心。 我让它们一直待到三月中旬,然后我决定是时候对这些虾进行一次小小的修剪测试了。 我将其中一株虾修剪回去,另一株虾则没有修剪。 你可以真切地看到它们的变化在下面的视频中进行了比较。

这段关于我如何修剪虾笼草的视频向您展示了我的具体做法。 请不要妄加评论--这是我几年前在 Youtube 上发布的第一段视频之一 修剪非常简单。 我基本上是将茎部修剪到离地面 5-8 英寸的位置,让中间的茎部稍微高一点。 这种植物长得非常茂密,而且生长速度非常快,中间的茎部通常会挤掉最顶端的茎部。周长

尽管加利福尼亚州正遭受特大干旱,但这棵亚热带植物依然长势喜人。 我的滴灌系统每 7-9 天运行一次,每次 18 分钟,所以它根本得不到充足的水。 我很吝啬用水,所以它是我花园里最难熬的植物之一。

蜂鸟非常喜欢这种植物,几乎每个来我家做客的人都会在这种植物开花时对它赞不绝口。 如你所见,花朵非常独特。 是的,它们看起来确实像小虾米!

这种植物的名字非常贴切!
