Cultivation methods and precautions of Hosta

1. Breeding methods

1. Watering: Hosta likes a humid environment. When caring for it, water it every 3-4 days and provide it with sufficient water to help it grow better. However, it should be noted that the frequency of watering should be increased appropriately in summer to once every 2-3 days, and reduced appropriately in winter to once every 7-10 days.

2. Fertilization: Hosta does not require much fertilizer. When it is in the growing season, applying fertilizer 1-2 times a month can meet its growth needs. In addition, before it blooms, you can apply phosphorus and potassium fertilizers to it several times, which is very beneficial for its flowering.

3. Sunlight: It likes semi-shaded environment and does not like strong light. When caring for it, it is recommended to place it in a place with scattered light. Do not place it in a place with direct sunlight, and do not place it in a place that is too dark and without sunlight.

4. Temperature: It has a certain degree of cold resistance and can tolerate temperatures as low as 2-3°C. However, during maintenance, to be on the safe side, it is recommended to maintain the temperature above 5°C in winter. At other times, in order to make it grow faster, it is recommended to control the temperature at around 20℃.

2. Precautions

When caring for it, you should pay attention to using flower soil that is sufficiently breathable, well-drained and has a certain degree of fertility. Don't use soil that is too sticky or too poor, otherwise it will grow poorly. It is recommended to update the potting soil every 1-2 years, which can keep the flower soil always soft and fertile, which is very beneficial to its growth.
