Coral cherry cultivation methods and precautions

Coral cherry is generally strong and easy to maintain. It is easy to bloom, has a long flowering period, and the flowers are large and brightly colored. Its plants are tall and have a well-developed root system. It is very easy to grow and can be grown in ordinary soil. It likes diffuse light and is tolerant to partial shade. It can be maintained in the same rough manner as green ivy and spider plants, saving worry and effort.

How to grow coral cherry

Coral cherry does not require much soil. In order to promote growth, the soil can be mixed with leaf mold, river sand and garden soil. Coral cherry prefers light and can be kept in a sunny place during the growth period. In summer, avoid strong light and provide shade. It likes a humid growth environment. It needs to be watered in time to keep sufficient water during the growth period, and fertilize reasonably to ensure nutrient supply. Fertilize once a month during the vigorous growth period.

1. Loosen the soil

When cultivating coral cherry, the soil requirements are not high and it can grow normally in general soil. However, in order to promote better growth of coral cherry, suitable soil should be provided. It can be mixed with leaf mold, river sand and garden soil. Such soil can be more conducive to the growth of coral cherry.

2. Sunlight exposure

Coral cherry has a strong adaptability to sunlight and cannot lack sunlight during its growth, so it can be kept in a sunny place during the normal growth period. It is afraid of strong direct sunlight, so shade should be provided during cultivation in the summer to prevent the leaves from being sunburned. The light intensity is low in winter, so it can be maintained in full sunlight.

3. Water appropriately

Coral cherry likes a humid growing environment and cannot tolerate drought, so during the growth and cultivation period, you must pay attention to timely watering to maintain sufficient moisture and not let the soil become too dry. The amount of water should be controlled each time you water it to ensure that it is watered thoroughly. Never allow water to accumulate in the soil, otherwise it will cause root rot.

4. Reasonable fertilization

Coral cherry likes fertilizer, and lack of nutrients will lead to poor growth. Reasonable fertilization must be done during the growth period to ensure good nutrients. Fertilize once a month during the peak growth period. Be sure to pay attention when choosing fertilizers, and never use fertilizers with high concentrations.

Coral cherry maintenance precautions

When caring for coral cherry, you should pay attention to the fact that it likes a warm growing environment. If it is placed in a dark location, the branches and leaves will easily grow too tall, nutrients will be over-consumed, and low temperatures will cause frostbite. Therefore, the growth temperature in winter must be kept above 5 degrees.
