How long is the growth cycle of baby's breath

Introduction to the growth of baby's breath

Gypsophila paniculata is suitable for growing in a warm, humid and sunny environment. It is relatively cold-resistant and shade-tolerant, and grows best in well-drained, fertile and loose loam. Its origin is from Asia Minor to the Caucasus region along the Mediterranean coast.

Growth cycle of baby's breath

Gypsophila paniculata has extremely strong vitality and takes root very quickly. It mainly grows on river beaches, grasslands, fixed sand dunes, rocky hillsides and farmlands at an altitude of 1100-1500 meters.

The growth cycle of baby's breath is not long. It only takes 3-5 months from sowing to flowering. It will bloom after more than 3 months of cultivation if sown in spring, while autumn sowing will have to wait until March of the following spring.

Growth rate of baby's breath

The best time to sow baby's breath is in spring or autumn. Wrap the seeds in a wet wipe, and they will turn white after absorbing enough water. Sprinkle them in loose and fertile soil, and small buds will soon grow out.

Gypsophila paniculata is a perennial herb. When the temperature is maintained at 20 degrees, its seeds will germinate quickly, then grow leaves and become strong seedlings. At this time, they can be transplanted and planted. It takes about three months from sowing to flowering of gypsophila paniculata.

Gypsophila growth cycle management

When baby's breath is 25 cm high, it can produce 1,500 catties per mu. If it is 30 cm high, it can produce about 2,000 catties per mu. Baby's breath of the same height can produce about 3,000 catties per mu after planting in spring and about 1,500 catties per mu in summer.

Temperature management: Baby's breath can tolerate temperatures as low as 0°C and is suitable for growing in an environment of 15-20°C. If the temperature is below 10°C, the plant will enter a dormant period and stop growing. If the temperature is below 0°C, the plant may be frozen.

Fertilization management: The number of times baby's breath is watered and fertilized varies in different seasons. In spring, water it twice a day and fertilize it once a day. In summer, water it twice a day and fertilize it once a day. In autumn, water and fertilize as appropriate according to climate changes. In winter, reduce the number of watering and fertilizing, and water and fertilize once a week.
