Method of planting ageratum seedlings

Planting time

When the echinacea seedlings have about 2-4 branches, they can be transplanted.

Preparation

Prepare the container, generally a 4-inch flower pot is suitable. The potting soil should be made of 1/3 parts of agricultural fertilizer, garden soil and fine sand, and then sieve after mixing.

Colonization and management

After planting the echinacea seedlings in the container, you should also gently compact the soil in the pot, then water it sufficiently, place the plant in a cool place, and move it to a place with sufficient light after 7-10 days. At this time, the seedlings have basically recovered and started to grow normally. Pay attention to water and fertilizer management at ordinary times. When the surface of the potting soil turns white, you need to water it in time. Each time you water it, you need to water it enough, and avoid water accumulation. When the high temperature season comes, it is the peak growth season for the plant and it needs to be watered twice a day. Water with diluted cake fertilizer once every 10-15 days or so, and add appropriate amounts of phosphorus and potassium fertilizers. This will help to dwarf the ageratum plant, allowing it to produce more flowers with brighter colors, thus increasing its ornamental value.
