Cultivation methods and precautions of Jianlan

1. Flower soil

Jianlan has a relatively thick root system, so when growing it, be sure to use sufficiently breathable flower soil to reduce the chance of root rot. Specifically, the flower soil can be made from pond mud, burnt soil and decomposed peanut shells.

2. Lighting

It is best to give it appropriate diffuse light exposure and avoid direct light. When the weather is colder, you can give it full sun to help it grow better. When the weather is very hot, it needs proper shading to help cool it down.

3. Watering

When watering it, be sure not to water it too much, because it is very afraid of waterlogging. Before watering, it is best to judge whether to water based on the condition of the soil. Specifically, if you see that the surface color of the flower soil is darker, you can stop watering it first. If you see that its color is lighter or even white, then you can water it.

4. Fertilization

When fertilizing it, you should choose some easily soluble compound fertilizers, or homemade fertilizers. When it is growing vigorously, you can apply some thin fertilizer to it frequently to provide nutrients, but when it is growing slowly, you need to reduce the number of applications.

5. Notes

You can change the soil for it every spring. The selection criteria for new soil are the same as those for old soil. This will make it grow better.
