Cultivation methods and precautions of Ageratum

As long as you understand the habits of Ageratum, this plant is very easy to grow. Ageratum likes relatively warm places and has no other special requirements for the environment. However, the cultivation methods in different regions are still different, and it needs to be maintained relatively according to the local climate environment.

How to grow Ageratum

When growing ageratum, you only need to master the techniques to make them bloom easily. The key to maintenance is to improve the environment. The natural conditions that need to be overcome in winter are temperature and light. Using certain techniques to help the plant adjust its own development state can help the plant overcome its original limitations.

1. Cultivation method

Before cultivating ageratum, you need to consider how to obtain columnar growth. Currently, there are two methods: seed sowing and cuttings. The cutting method can help retain the good qualities of the plant and can be used in good varieties. The time is generally in winter, so it needs to be placed indoors for the winter and maintain a normal temperature for development. After cuttings, it is necessary to pay attention to timely replenishment of water and fertilizer to allow it to quickly enter the seedling stage and enhance the resistance of the plant.

2. Repotting

Although the normal flowering period of Ageratum is in July, it can be guaranteed to bloom in winter after certain adjustments. The key to this technique lies in repotting. In October, be sure to replace the nutrient soil for the plant. Then, after repotting, you need to observe the growth of the plant. In order to allow the plant to enter the flowering period smoothly, you can prune the branches. In order to provide a good development environment, it generally needs to be cultivated indoors in winter. Pay attention to maintaining sufficient light. With careful cultivation, it can help the plant reach the flowering period in winter.

3. Lighting

Light is very important for Ageratum. It not only provides normal sunlight conditions for the development of the plant, but also uses light to regulate temperature. The room temperature in winter needs to be adjusted and maintained at around 16 degrees Celsius. At the same time, pay attention to the moisture level of the soil under good light conditions to avoid normal development caused by the soil being too dry.

Precautions for the care of Ageratum

Ageratum is often harmed by diseases and pests, the main diseases of which are root rot and rust, which can be treated by spraying pesticides. It may also be attacked by pests such as noctuids, whiteflies, and aphids, which need to be discovered and controlled in time. It also needs to be topped frequently to promote branching. After the ageratum blooms, it can be pruned to promote the sprouting of new branches. Pay attention to pruning dense branches.
