How to grow Daphne koreana in pots in winter

Tip 1. Soil

It is important to keep in mind that Daphne does not like alkaline soil. It hates the soil in the pot being too wet, so you need to choose acidic soil that is well-drained and fertile as the soil in the pot. You should choose acidic leaf mold, and it is best to add some decomposed cake fertilizer and river sand into it to add the necessary nutrients. It is a good choice to use mountain soil or garden soil with 40% peat soil and a certain amount of rice husk ash as the culture soil.

Tip 2: Watering

Because its roots are fleshy, it does not like too much water. You must control the amount of water when watering. Too much water will cause its roots to rot. If it rains and gets wet accidentally, be sure to pour out the accumulated water quickly. You know, it can only be safe if the water content is 45%. If you accidentally let its roots rot, please repot it, cut off the rotten roots, clean it with fungicide, and replant it in sandy soil.

Tip 3. Temperature

Daphne koreana is not cold-resistant, so it must be placed indoors in winter. Although it prefers semi-shaded areas, it grows better in full sunlight during the winter. Therefore, it should be placed in a sunny and windproof place, such as a south window with good air circulation and sunny weather. The temperature must be kept above eight degrees and should not drop below five degrees at night.

Tip 4. Fertilization

It is taboo to use raw fertilizer or concentrated fertilizer, which is common to many flowers. It is best to apply liquid fertilizer appropriately and at the right time. It is best to use a mixture of soybean water and potassium dihydrogen phosphate water as liquid fertilizer, because soybean water is warm in nature and is more suitable for its growth.

Well, that’s all I have to say about it. I believe you have all remembered it. So I wish your Daphne flowers will bloom luxuriantly and have a pleasant fragrance.
