The growing environment and local conditions of morning glory

Morning glory growth environment and conditions

Morning glory is generally distributed in areas with an altitude of 100 to 200 meters. It is commonly seen in hillside bushes, roadsides in dry river valleys, beside gardens and houses, and on mountain roadsides. It may be cultivated. This species is native to tropical America and was later widely cultivated in both north and south China.

Morning glory growing conditions

Morning glory has strong adaptability and prefers a sunny, warm and cool environment. It can tolerate partial shade and high temperatures, but is not cold-resistant and afraid of frost. It is suitable for planting in loose and fertile soil. It can tolerate waterlogging and drought, and is more resistant to saline-alkali. The temperature suitable for seed germination is 18-23 degrees, and seedlings can grow at a temperature above 10 degrees.

Morning glory growth temperature

The most suitable growth temperature for morning glory is 13-18℃, 4-10℃ in winter, and can withstand high temperatures of around 35℃ in summer. If the temperature is too high, it is best to move it indoors to a well-ventilated environment with bright scattered light to prevent the plant from being burned.

Morning glory growth process

1. Germination: After the morning glory seeds are planted in the soil, the morning glory will slowly wake up, break the shell and germinate. This process usually takes 3-4 days.

2. Leaf growth: After germination, the young morning glory plants will absorb water and nutrients from the outside world and grow branches and leaves.

3. Flowering: After the morning glory continues to grow for a period of time, it will bloom beautiful flowers during the flowering period, which is very ornamental.

4. Result: About 15 days after the morning glory blooms, it will bear fruit, and new seeds will grow in the fruit.

Morning glory planting time and method

1. Morning glory is generally propagated by seeds. It can be planted in spring and summer. The temperature suitable for seed germination is about 23 degrees Celsius. It can bloom in summer or autumn. Before planting, it needs to be soaked in warm water for half a day and then sprinkled into the soil.

2. After planting the morning glory in the soil, do not cover it too deep, about one centimeter is enough. You can use a spray bottle to spray some water on it. It will germinate after about five or six days. When two leaves grow, you can transplant it.

3. When planting morning glory, you can plant 4-5 seeds in a flowerpot and maintain the appropriate temperature. After germination, transplant them and remove the morning glory seedlings and soil together. When planting, choose soil with good drainage and place it in a ventilated and sunny place. Water it appropriately and apply thin fertilizer once half a month. The nitrogen fertilizer should not be too concentrated.
