How to grow Aquilegia columbine

1. Fertilization

What Aquilegia likes most is moist sandy soil with a lot of humus, so before sowing, you must apply enough fertilizer, and after winter, you must pay more attention to applying fertilizer in time.

2. Watering and Others

Aquilegia likes a humid environment, so watering is essential, but you should also pay attention to the different times and methods of watering.

1. Spring

If you are in the south, you can water less in the spring; if you are in the north, the spring is relatively dry, so you need to water more, basically once a week, about four to five times a month. Of course, it will not remain the same, and the specific watering time depends on the condition of the soil in the flowerpot.

2 Summer

There is a lot of rain in the summer and the sun is strong. At this time, you need to pay attention to placing the Aquilegia in a semi-shaded place, as it will grow very fast. Basically, you don't need to water it, and be careful not to let too much rain accumulate in the flowerpot, otherwise the roots of the flower will rot.

In summer, Aquilegia grows fast, so it is necessary to prune and trim leaves in time. In addition to being beautiful, proper care is also conducive to ventilation. In addition, you need to control its height. It is best not to exceed 40 cm. If it exceeds, you need to pinch the top.

3. Autumn

The watering method in autumn is similar to that in spring.

4 Winter

It doesn't matter in the south in winter, the temperature is similar to spring and autumn. In the north, the main thing to pay attention to in winter is anti-freeze, watering with anti-freeze water, and it is best to place it in a greenhouse.

3. Planting

1. Seeding method

Sowing is very simple. When the seeds are ripe, you can pick them directly and scatter them in pots. Be careful when sprinkling it, don't sprinkle it too densely, but rather sparsely. After sowing, you can cover the pot with glass to retain the moisture in the soil and prevent evaporation. At the same time, be careful not to expose it to the sun. Basically, seedlings will grow in a month.
