If you water the phlox like this, the pot will be filled up easily!

Growth habit

Phlox is a foreign species that was later introduced to my country and cultivated on a large scale. Phlox is suitable for growing in an environment with warm sunshine and humid air. It is a plant that is relatively cold-resistant but not heat-resistant. It likes to grow in well-drained, loose soil. It can also grow well in the arid western region and can survive the cold environment in the north.

Watering method

Watering

Phlox has high requirements for water. During its vigorous growth period, it needs to be watered abundantly. Every time the soil is about to dry, you can water it carefully to ensure the moisture of the soil at all times. Each time you water, you must water the soil thoroughly. Phlox grows quite vigorously, so you should water it from the bottom, not from the top. Water accumulation on the leaves will affect its growth. In the rainy season, you can use rainwater for irrigation, but you must pay attention to the amount of water in the flowerpots and drain excess water in a hurry.

Combined with watering and fertilization

Fertilization is usually carried out after the plants are repaired. Using liquid fertilizer to supplement appropriate nutrients can make them grow more vigorously. When fertilizing, use more phosphorus and potassium fertilizers and reduce the use of nitrogen fertilizers.

Controlling temperature

The temperature for Phlox to grow in summer should not exceed 35 degrees. Too high temperature will easily cause the leaves to turn yellow. Just move it indoors in winter. prune

Phlox can be grown to a suitable height by pinching, which can also make it have more branches and look more beautiful.
