1. LightingEchinacea likes the sun. When grown indoors, it should be placed on a south balcony with good light. When planted in the ground, it should be planted in a sunny place without any buildings blocking the view. It needs more sun in spring, autumn and winter. Only in the hot summer does it need proper shading to reduce the temperature. 2. TemperatureEchinacea is afraid of both cold and heat. The minimum temperature in winter should not be lower than 10℃. In the hot summer, when the temperature exceeds 25℃, it needs proper shading and cooling. When the temperature is too high, some leaves will easily turn yellow and brown. Just pick them off in time, it's okay. 3. WateringEchinacea cannot lack water during its growing period. If you observe that the soil surface turns white and becomes dry, you should water it in time and make sure it is watered thoroughly. If it encounters the rainy season, the air humidity is high and the soil moisture is not easy to evaporate, so you should control watering appropriately. 4. FertilizationIt is not recommended to fertilize Echinacea when it is in bloom. After the flowers of Echinacea fade, trim the remaining flowers and apply balanced nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium fertilizer once every half a month. When fertilizing, do not let the fertilizer get on the plant to avoid fertilizer damage. 5. Pests and diseasesDuring the growth period of Echinacea, you must pay attention to insect prevention, especially the newly grown shoots, which are particularly susceptible to aphids. Once an insect pest occurs, you can spray the plants with imidacloprid and pymetrozine. Alternating the two will have the best effect. You can usually prevent the occurrence of Echinacea diseases and pests by opening windows frequently for ventilation. |
