Growth habits of crape myrtleA moist growing environment is what Crape Myrtle prefers, and sufficient light and fertile soil are even more favorable. However, crape myrtle does not like shade and also hates waterlogging, so sunlight and well-drained soil are very important for crape myrtle. How to Manage Crape Myrtles in SummerilluminationAs mentioned earlier, crape myrtle likes light, so even if the temperature is high and the direct sunlight lasts for a long time in the summer, there is no need to worry about the crape myrtle being burned, let alone shading it. Sunlight is more conducive to the blooming of the crape myrtle and the growth of the plant. WateringCrape myrtle likes moisture but is afraid of waterlogging. There is no need to water it excessively in spring and winter, just keep the soil in the flowerpot moist. However, the watering problem cannot be ignored in summer and autumn. It is best to replenish water once in the early morning and evening. After all, the high temperature climate greatly increases the evaporation rate. Once there is a lack of water, it will be very unfavorable for the crape myrtle flowers to bloom. FertilizationMost families do not have a yard to grow crape myrtles, so when growing them in pots, you need to be careful about how much fertilizer you apply. Improper or excessive fertilization can easily damage the roots of flowers or cause them to grow too tall, while too little fertilization can cause the branches and leaves to be too thin. In summer, crape myrtle usually grows very fast, so you can add more fertilizer accordingly. It must be done regularly to form a regular pattern. pruneThe growth rate of crape myrtle is very fast, and it can be pruned appropriately in summer. Generally, the remaining dead flowers should be cut off after the flowers have faded, which is conducive to the continuation of the flowering period. Some weak, sickly, and overgrown branches can also be pruned. |
