Gentiana cultivation method

Gentiana belongs to the Gentianaceae family. Common propagation methods include seed propagation, root division propagation and cutting propagation. It can grow to a height of 30-60 cm. It prefers a humid growing environment, is relatively heat-resistant, and requires sufficient light environment when growing.

When caring for gentian, it needs sufficient sunlight and a good ventilation environment. It is necessary to weed in time and loosen the soil. After planting, it is necessary to apply topdressing. You can use decomposed cake fertilizer. It is best to use relatively fertile soil for planting so that it can have good growth.

Watering method

Gentiana likes a humid growing environment, but is not tolerant to waterlogging, so during the cultivation process, you need to control the amount of watering and try to keep the soil moist, but avoid waterlogging.

Pruning methods

When caring for gentian, it is necessary to pinch the top of the plant, which will allow it to grow more branches and make the plant more compact. In normal times, some diseased branches and overly dense branches should also be cut off.

Precautions for cultivating gentian flowers

When cultivating gentian, you need to pay attention to using fertile and loose soil for planting, preferably containing a certain amount of humus, so that it can grow stronger, and it should be placed in an environment with more suitable light for maintenance.
