What are the cultivation methods and precautions of snapdragon

Snapdragon Introduction

Snapdragon is a perennial plant with a height of 20 to 70 cm, sometimes up to 80 cm. The leaves are oblong-lanceolate, hairless, 2-6 cm long, and have racemes in colors such as white, light red, dark red, flesh-colored, dark yellow, light yellow, and yellow-orange.

How to grow snapdragon

Snapdragon likes warm climate and sufficient light environment, and is also tolerant to partial shade. It is not tolerant to high temperature and direct sunlight. It requires coolness in summer and is suitable for growing in loose, well-drained, fertile, humus-rich sandy loam.

Snapdragon likes strong light and must have sufficient light during its growth period. It should be placed on a sunny windowsill or balcony for indoor maintenance. It is suitable for planting in loose, fertile, well-drained sandy soil. It has high requirements for water and humidity. Keep the potting soil moist at all times, spray water in time to keep it moist, control the humidity when the temperature is high, and reduce the occurrence of diseases.

Watering method

Snapdragon likes a moist environment with slightly higher air humidity. It requires more water and the potting soil should always be kept moist. During the hot season, the potting soil should not be too moist, otherwise it will cause disease.

Fertilization method

Snapdragon is not very demanding on fertilizer. Generally, apply dilute fertilizer water every 7-10 days during the growth period, which can meet its growth needs. Pay attention to controlling the concentration.

Pruning methods

The pruning of snapdragons is mainly in the seedling stage. When the plant height is about 10 cm, it is necessary to pinch and top the plant. This can promote the differentiation of branches and leaves and control the plant height. This can concentrate nutrients and promote more flowering of snapdragons.

Precautions for goldfish leaf cultivation

If you want to grow snapdragon well, the management of water and fertilizer is the most important thing you should pay attention to. Normally, you should water it thoroughly after planting. During its growth period, you should water it in time if the soil in the pot becomes dry.

When snapdragon is in its peak growth season, it should be fertilized once every ten days. The fertilizer should be a thin liquid fertilizer with a balanced ammonia and potassium. When it is about to bloom, potassium dihydrogen phosphate should be sprayed in time.
