Cultivation methods and precautions of Edelweiss

How to grow Edelweiss

Cultivation

Edelweiss grows well in loose and fertile humus soil, so it is best to choose fertile leaf mold as the potting soil. Do not leave it alone after sowing. Thin out the seedlings after they emerge and transplant them into pots when the plants have three true leaves. During the growing season, the soil in the pot should not be too moist, just slightly moist. Fertilize once a month, be careful not to get fertilizer on the leaves, and try to keep the soil in the pot slightly dry in winter.

Reproduction

There are two main methods of propagating Edelweiss, namely division and sowing. Division is generally best done in spring. You can dig up the clumps of edelweiss and plant them directly in pots. In addition, sowing is mainly done in spring. The suitable temperature for seed germination is 20 degrees Celsius, and the seeds will germinate 10 days after sowing .

Things to note when growing Edelweiss

Repotting

If you want to consider repotting Edelweiss after cultivating it for a period of time, it is best to prepare the soil that needs to be replaced in advance, then cut off the dry or yellow leaves and stems of the plant to be transplanted from the roots, and then place it in the replaced soil.

Pests and diseases

Edelweiss generally lives in high-altitude cold environments, so when the temperature is low, the chance of diseases and pests occurring is not high, but it is still necessary to do a good job of preventing diseases and pests.
