How to grow Verbena to make it bloom

one. soil

Although it does not have many requirements for soil, we can try our best to use some formulated soil to make it grow better. For example, we can mix garden soil and soil containing leaf mold together, and make sure the soil's fluidity and drainage meet the requirements. Then for the plant, it will develop better.

two. illumination

This plant needs light, but if it is exposed to strong light for a long time, its leaves and branches will be stunted, its growth rate will slow down, or even enter a dormant state. In the winter when the temperature is not too high, you can place it in the sun. This cultivation method can help it carry out biological effects and is beneficial to the development of flower buds. During its flowering period, after being kept in the house for a period of time, it needs to be transplanted to a sheltered place outdoors for a period of time. This alternating cultivation can help it accumulate nutrients and prolong its flowering period.

three. Watering

Because its roots are relatively shallow, you need to pay attention to replenishing it with water in the summer. However, if there is too much water, its stems and branches will grow rapidly and the number of flowers will decrease; if there is too little water, the plant will develop poorly.

Four. temperature

This plant is accustomed to warm climates, so high temperatures in summer or low temperatures in winter are not conducive to its growth.

five. prune

This plant needs to be pinched before flowering, and it needs to be pinched twice to promote the development of flower buds and branches. About every two months, you should cut off some branches and stems with old and yellow leaves.
