How to grow rue

Planting method

Planting method

If you want to plant rudbeckia, it is best to do so before Qingming Festival and choose acidic soil. Sow the seeds evenly in the pots. If you are worried about a low survival rate, you can plant them a little densely. After the seedlings grow out, thin them out and leave only the healthy ones. After planting, cover the top of the flowerpot with a layer of soil to retain moisture and promote germination.

Planting precautions

However, for those who are eager to see beautiful flowers, it is better to directly purchase the seedlings of Lophatherum! You don't need to wait for a long time, just take good care of it and you will see the flowers bloom. You have to know that it takes a very long process to grow from leaves to flowers.

Farming methods

Watering

Lophatherum is a succulent plant. Although its leaves are not as thick and plump as other succulents, they are still fresh and juicy. Therefore, the amount of watering has a very important impact on the growth of rudbeckia. In the hot summer, you should reduce watering and keep the soil in the pot dry to avoid root rot.

Improper watering may cause leaves to fall off, but it will not affect the growth of the plant. Many new leaves will grow in the spring of the following year.

Fertilization

The zephyranthes blooms many times and requires more nutrients. Starting from May, the growth rate of the zephyranthes increases rapidly, so a thin nitrogen fertilizer should be applied every half a month. In June, the buds of the leuconostoc will slowly grow, and the fertilizer should be mainly phosphorus fertilizer, applied once every half a month.

prune

The rosy rose has lotus-shaped leaves and flowers, with many flower stems growing out from the middle of the leaves. If you want the dahlia to bloom in the second year, cut off the flower stems in time after flowering, and prune the branches and leaves appropriately, cutting off those that grow too densely to increase the light transmittance of the plant.

However, some single-petaled laurel flowers can be repeatedly pruned to promote more branches and increase the number of flowers.

Insulation

The cold resistance of the rudbeckia is very poor, so it needs to be moved indoors for maintenance in time when the temperature drops. Place it in a sunny and warm place indoors and control the indoor temperature at 3~5℃.

For families with relatively low indoor temperatures in winter, it is recommended to cover the flower pots with plastic bags, which can provide good insulation.
