Potting and maintenance of June snow

time

Serissa can be transplanted all year round, but March and April are the best time.

Prepare

The best soil for potting is loam that is rich in humus, loose, breathable and well-drained. Generally, it can be prepared with 4 parts of decomposed cow dung, 1 part of decomposed cake fertilizer, 4 parts of garden soil, and 1 part of coal ash.

It is best if the potted plants have no dead or diseased leaves, are in good growth condition, have a short and strong plant shape, and are free from diseases and insect pests.

Maintenance

After transplanting into the pot, it should be placed in a semi-shaded place and normal maintenance should be resumed after a week.

During the hot and dry season in summer, you should spray water on the leaves in the morning and evening to cool them down and increase the air humidity to facilitate their growth and flowering. At the same time, avoid direct sunlight. It is best to let June snow absorb scattered light.

Pay attention to keeping warm in winter. In the east China region, you can safely spend the winter in a room where the temperature is above 5℃.

Water the plants with 1% edible vinegar water once every half a month to avoid soil alkalinization and plant yellowing.

During the growing season of June Snow, apply a thin layer of liquid fertilizer every 10 days or so.

Because June Snow has a strong growth ability and branches often sprout from the roots, it needs to be pruned frequently to keep it beautiful.

Precautions

Just after transplanting, watering should be done with tap water that has been exposed to the sun, and the water temperature should be maintained.

June snow is drought-resistant but not moisture-resistant, so watering should follow the principle of watering when the soil is dry and not watering when it is not dry. Prevent water from accumulating in the pot during the rainy season.

In addition to soil fertilization, foliar fertilization should be carried out regularly, and the leaves should be sprayed with 1% potassium dihydrogen phosphate solution to adjust the pH and increase plant nutrition.

In early spring, you need to move the June snow from indoors to outdoors. At this time, you need to do short pruning and pinching to keep the plant plump. It is best to repot it.
