1. Morphological characteristics: Morning glory is an annual twining herb. The leaves are broadly ovate, usually 3-lobed, occasionally 5-lobed, and have a pubescent surface. Its flowers are axillary, with a funnel-shaped corolla and rich colors, but the only common ones are blue-purple and purple-red. Its stamens and styles are relatively short and do not extend beyond the corolla, but are hidden inside.

2. Growth habits: Morning glory has strong adaptability and prefers an environment with sufficient light, but it can also grow in semi-shady conditions. It is relatively resistant to high temperatures, can grow normally in summer, and can also bloom. However, it has poor cold resistance and is very afraid of frost. However, as an annual plant, there is no need to worry about wintering.

3. Maintenance methods: When growing morning glory, loose soil is generally required, which is conducive to seed germination and root growth. Water the plant frequently during daily maintenance, especially in summer, to ensure the soil in the pot is moist, but there should be no water accumulation in the pot. Fertilizing should begin one week after potting. Use dilute liquid fertilizer at first, apply once every 2-3 weeks. During the bud formation period, you can spray potassium dihydrogen phosphate to promote flowering.

4. How to propagate: Morning glory is generally propagated by sowing. After the fruit matures and cracks, take out the seeds and place them in a cool place until spring when they can be sown. The shell needs to be cut or soaked for 24 hours before sowing. After soaking, you can put it in an environment of 20-25℃ to germinate. After it sprouts, bury it in the soil, usually 3-5 seeds. Seedlings will emerge 7-8 days after sowing, and then thinning will be carried out.
