How to grow blue snow flower in spring

How to grow blue snow flower in spring

1. Breeding conditions

1. Loam: It likes nutritious, loose and well-permeable peat soil.

2. Temperature: 15-28℃ range is most suitable for its growth. The temperature should not be lower than 7℃ in early spring, otherwise you may get frostbite.

3. Light: Provide sufficient light so that it can accumulate nutrients. Except for direct sunlight at noon, try to get as much light as possible at other times. It should be at least semi-shaded, not too dark.

4. Water supply: Blue snow flower itself likes moisture. When it is short of water, it needs to be supplemented with sufficient water to meet the needs of the vigorous growth period. Moreover, if there is insufficient water, it will not only affect its growth, but its leaves may also turn yellow. Generally speaking, "water thoroughly when dry" is enough. Keep the soil slightly moist at all times.

5. Fertilizer: It relatively likes fertilizer, and some slow-release fertilizer can be used to assist its growth. But the amount should not be too much.

2. Breeding Methods

1. Cutting: It is usually carried out in May and June. Cut strong branches from the plant and insert them into the soil it likes. Control the growth temperature at 20-25℃, and it will take root in about 20-28 days.

2. Division: Take it out of the pot, tap the plant to remove excess soil, then separate the plant with its roots and plant it in a new pot.

3. Repotting or changing pots

Spring is also a good season for repotting. Choosing a good substrate is one of the important steps. It is necessary to use a loose, breathable and nutritious substrate. When repotting, you can also prune the plant, both the roots and branches. Pruning branches is also very important for subsequent flowering.

4. Prevention of diseases and pests

This type of plant has a strong ability to adapt to the growing environment, so it rarely gets sick. If you find that it is suffering from root-knot nematodes, you will need to go to a local store to buy pesticides for spraying. Spiders need to be sprayed with insecticide in time.
