Cultivation methods and precautions of purple flowers

How to grow purple flowers

soil

Purple lily has no strict requirements on soil and can tolerate poor soil. But it blooms vigorously on fertile and well-drained sandy loam or loam.

The culture soil should be mixed with leaf mold, sandy soil and garden soil in a ratio of 1:1:1. Apply sufficient fully decomposed compost and a small amount of bone meal as base fertilizer at the bottom of the pot.

Temperature and light

Temperature: Purple lily likes high temperature and is heat-resistant. The suitable temperature for its growth is between 24-30 degrees Celsius.

Light: Purple jasmine likes light, and full sun or half sun are ideal for cultivation, but it should not be shaded.

Water and fertilizer management

Watering: When watering, just keep the soil in the pot moist, but during the growing season and dry weather, you need to water more frequently and sprinkle water around the pot frequently to increase the air humidity. The soil in the pot should not be too wet, otherwise the bulb will easily rot.

Fertilization: Generally, apply diluted liquid fertilizer 2-3 times during the growing period to promote the growth and development of the seedlings. When the plants are about to bud and bloom, apply phosphorus and potassium fertilizers 1-2 times to ensure that the seedlings have sufficient nutrition during the bud and flowering periods. This will not only make the flowers large and colorful, but also promote the development of bulbs.

When planting in a large area, attention should be paid to ventilation and proper shading. If planting in a small area or in potted plants, for ornamental varieties with many flowers and thin and weak branches, a support should be set up to prevent the branches from breaking.

Reproduction method

Purple jasmine can be propagated by many methods, including scale propagation, bulb propagation, ball bud propagation, and sowing propagation.
