Four seasons maintenance method of California poppy

spring

After the temperature rises, the growth of California poplar quickly recovers and gradually enters the flower bud differentiation and flowering period, requiring great requirements for fertilizer and water. Fertilizer and water management should be carried out in the order of "Hua Bao" - clean water - "Hua Bao" - clean water, with an interval of about 2 to 4 days. The interval will be shorter on sunny days or during high temperatures, and longer or no watering will be required on rainy days or during low temperatures. After entering the fruiting period, stop supplying fertilizer.

summer

The temperature in all parts of my country is generally high in summer, but California poppies are not resistant to humidity and heat, so they will have a short dormancy in summer. It is not advisable to water too much at this time, and the soil in the pot should be kept slightly dry. Avoid applying fertilizer when the weather is hot and humid to avoid root rot.

autumn

After a summer dormancy, California poppies awaken in the fall and begin to grow. At this time, water and fertilizer management needs to be caught up quickly, with watering intervals of 1-3 days a day, and liquid fertilizer can be applied thinly and frequently.

winter

Although it is still growing, the relatively low temperature will slow down its growth rate. It does not require much fertilizer and water, and may even need to control fertilizer and water. Fertilizer and water management should be carried out in the order of "Hua Bao" - clean water - clean water - "Hua Bao" - clean water - clean water. The interval period is about 4 to 7 days. Watering should be arranged at noon on sunny days when the temperature is higher.

Friends in the north should take some protective measures for California poppies to prevent them from being frozen and injured. If you want to take cuttings, you can cover the cuttings with a film.
