金桂花的养殖方法
1、湿度：据了解，金桂在7月份的平均气温在24-28℃，最适宜金桂生长的气温在15-28℃。湿度对于金桂来讲非常重要，尤其是在金桂是幼龄期和常年树开花时期，对水分的吸收较多，若经常干旱会严重影响金桂的正常开花。
2、光照：金桂花卉喜温暖，其抗逆性较强，既耐高温，也较耐寒。金桂较喜阳光，但应避免强日照和荫蔽，对其生长不利，花卉每天应需要6-8个小时的来吸收光合作用。在全光照下其金桂的枝叶能够生长茂盛，开花集锦;而在荫蔽的环境条件下，金桂生长枝叶稀疏、花稀少。
3、生长环境：金桂适宜种植在土层深厚、疏松肥沃、排水性较好的砂质土壤环境中，更有利于金桂花卉的生长。金桂若种植在室内应加强室内通风，使得金桂看起来更加美观。
4、浇水施肥：金桂在栽植前，应在其树穴内掺入草本灰及有机肥料，同时在栽植后浇一次透水。为了能够使金桂新枝长出前，保持土壤湿润，切记不可浇肥水。金桂一般在春季施用一次氮肥，夏季施用一次磷肥、钾肥，使得金桂花繁叶茂。金桂花卉在入冬前施用一次有机肥，以腐熟的饼肥、厩肥为主。忌浓肥，尤其忌入粪尿。同时加强室内的通风，在冬季尽量少浇水。
金桂花的养殖注意事项
1).浇水：桂花盆土要掌握不干不浇，浇则浇透的原则，但要每天向叶面喷洒一次清水，均匀喷湿所有的枝叶，以开始有水珠往下滴为宜，以保持叶片湿润，并清洗去吸附在叶片上的灰尘。清明节后将桂花移置露天,浇一次透水。夏季须在早晚浇水，冬季则在中午前后浇水，使水温与土温接近，不致骤冷骤热，注意不可积水。冬季保持盆土湿润即可。
2).施肥：桂花以观花为主，应供给充分的肥料。抽梢时，可施1～2次氮肥，促进枝叶生长;花芽分化和开花前，则以施磷肥为主。春季将桂花移置露天后,开始浇腐熟稀薄的豆饼.麻酱.鱼腥水等,每半月一次,5月底至开花前每周浇一次,肥水浓度逐渐增加,7～8月每隔半月追施一次0.5%磷酸二氢钾溶液。花后追施一次清淡的肥液,以免引发秋枝。在冬季要多施有机肥和磷钾肥，一般每15—20天根部施一次沤制腐熟并己除臭的饼肥25—30克，磷酸二氢钾10—15克，兑清水2一3分斤后淋施，并每10—15天叶面喷一次1000倍核苷酸。600倍高效生物磷钾肥混合液，均匀喷湿所有的枝叶，以开始滴水为宜。施肥前，盆土要稍干些，并宜先松下土，以便肥料的吸收。施肥的第二天应浇一次水。如用堆肥或厩肥，一定要完全腐熟后才能使用(其标志是肥汁发黑)。应用化肥过磷酸钙，其浓度不能超过2%，尿素浓度是0.5-1.0%。
3).倒盆：盆栽桂花每2--3年要倒盆换土一次。剪去一部分老根和枯根，用竹签剔去一部分旧土。上盆前在盆底垫上一层河沙或蛭石，以利通气排水，并在盆底放置腐熟饼肥为基肥，填土一定要压实，这样可促进桂花花繁叶茂。盆栽挂花的用土配比不很严格，通常可用园土、堆厩肥和河砂各占l/3配制而成。如酸性过高，可添加一些石灰粉或草木灰;碱性过重，则可加入一些硫酸铝或硫酸亚铁等。春季，盆栽桂花种好后，要浇足透水，然后移至庇荫处约10天，使 其"服盆"。服盆期间，不能施肥。在恢复生长并长出新叶后，方可浇水和施肥。花盆的质地以紫砂陶盆或釉陶盆为佳，色泽以紫色或赭色较好，可与花、叶色彩有鲜明对比，增加其观赏效果。
4).修剪整形：桂花造型以做成曲干式、斜干式或飘逸式者为佳。树势斜展，枝叶密茂，古朴自然，最耐欣赏。开花时，浓香四溢，沁人心脾。桂花整形一般采取攀扎与修剪相结合的方法，主干可攀扎成曲干形或斜干式。桂花的整形修剪宜在秋后进行，对生长很高而下部枝条很空,树形很差的植株,可在2/3或3/4处将整个顶部的枝条剪去,对"头重脚轻"的植株要剪去上部过密枝条,只留下部较小枝条,对枝条过密的植株,要进行疏剪。花后还应进行一次整枝,剪去徒长枝、枯枝、病虫枝、密生瘦弱枝。
5).越冬:室温宜保持O-5℃，相对湿度保持50-80%。冬季冷室内光照要好，尤其是早春芽开始萌动前，更要求阳光充足。次年春季，华北地区谷雨后(黄淮流域在惊蛰前后)，安排盆栽桂花出室。出室后，先集中放置在室外背风向阳处，以后再散放成排，使其逐渐适应外界环境。
6).病虫害防治：桂花常见的病害有叶斑病、煤污病、藻斑病、根腐病、缺铁病等，应针对病害情况，予以防治。叶斑病、煤污病及藻斑病可喷射0.5波尔多液或5%多菌灵500～1000倍液防治;根腐病的防治，应注意保持土壤疏松透气，不要积水;如因真菌引起根腐时，可用代森铵200～300倍液浇灌根部。桂花常见的虫害有叶蜂、粉虱、螨、长白蚧、黄刺蛾等。叶蜂、粉虱、螨可用40%乐果1500～3000倍液喷杀，长白蚧除人工刷除外，在第一二代若虫时，可用40%氧化乐果1000倍液或40%杀螟松500倍液喷杀。

#观赏向日葵 为菊科向日葵属一年生花卉，株高90至300厘米，花期7至9月，花色有金黄色、红色及复色等，一般成片种植，开花时金黄耀眼，既有野趣，又极为壮观，广泛用于切花、盆花、染色花、庭院美化及花境营造等领域，下面我们就一起来看一看观赏向日葵怎么种吧！
生长习性
观赏向日葵原产北美地区，喜温暖、稍干燥和阳光充足环境，耐旱，可盆栽也可露地栽培。露地栽培光照时间长往往开花略早，温差在8～10℃对茎叶生长最为有利。大多是单瓣品种，也有重瓣品种。以盆栽矮生种为例，从播种至开花需50～60天。
繁殖方法
观赏向日葵育苗采用播种繁殖，一般于4月进行播种，发芽的最适温度为15至18℃，可用浅盆或浅箱播，介质要求疏松，保水性良好，无菌等。播种以点播为宜，每穴播2粒，播后需覆盖1至2厘米厚介质，以维持发芽所需的湿度，并增加苗期的稳定性，减少带壳苗的发生。一般播后7至14天发芽，出苗后注意通风降温，控制湿度，并逐步见光。
适时定植
观赏向日葵当幼苗出齐后陆续间苗，每穴留1株，苗高7至8厘米时可定植。盆土以富含腐殖质，排水良好的砂质土壤为好。定植时盆底施足基肥，掘取苗时尽量多带土，少伤根，以使植株较快恢复。
种植管理
1、光照：整个生长发育期均需充足阳光，如阴雨连绵或长期在半阴环境中生长，茎干不挺拔，叶片柔软、下垂、呈黄绿色，花盘小而不整齐。
2、温度：生长适温白天为21～27℃、夜间为10～16℃。如温度偏低，则生长迟缓，影响开花时间。若温度超过30℃，茎叶容易徒长，花期缩短。
3、水分：观赏向日葵的植株大基质相对少，因此生长期要及时浇水，否则叶片容易脱水凋萎。但不宜过湿，湿度过大，基部叶片容易发黄。
4、肥料：观赏向日葵在生长期每20天施肥1次，通常用800倍多种复合肥料水释后轮换施用，但开花前应追施2至3次稀薄的磷钾肥以利开花。
5、栽培：盆栽不摘心，以单花为好。高秆品种发芽后20天可用0.25～0.4%B9溶液喷洒叶面控制植株高度。花坛观赏可摘心1次，可产生4～5朵花。
