How to grow nasturtium in autumn

1. Sufficient water

Nasturtium likes moisture, and autumn is its growing season, so it needs to be given sufficient water. Generally speaking, water once every two to three days. However, the amount of watering should not be too much, as waterlogging can cause root rot, or leaves to turn yellow and fall off. So while adding enough water, be careful not to drink too much.

2. Appropriate amount of fertilizer

In autumn, it requires fertilizer, but not much. Generally, it is sufficient to apply it once every three to four weeks. Pay attention to the type of fertilizer and don't use too much nitrogen fertilizer. In addition, before winter, a special application of wintering fertilizer should be applied to help the plants survive the winter.

3. Suitable lighting

Nasturtium prefers light, so sufficient light should be provided in autumn to facilitate its growth. It should be noted that the lighting should be uniform and its position can be rotated appropriately. In addition, too strong light should also be avoided, such as the light at noon in early autumn.

4. Suitable temperature

Specifically, the most suitable temperature for it is between eighteen and twenty-four degrees. What needs to be controlled is late autumn. Generally speaking, the plants should be moved indoors at the end of October. If there are no conditions to make the temperature optimal, then it should not be lower than ten degrees.

5. Pest control

In the fall it may have some pests, such as "leaf miners", which can cause leaves to fall. They need to be killed with pesticides and the debris around the plants should be cleared away.
