How to grow Ampelopsis thomsoniae on the balcony and what should be paid attention to

1. Light supplement

If there is insufficient light during the maintenance of the Clerodendrum thomsoniae, it may cause the branches and leaves to grow too long, seriously affecting normal growth and causing poor development of flower buds. It can be placed on the balcony. As long as it is given reasonable light, it will be beneficial for its later growth and can also make the flowers brighter and larger. However, although it needs sunlight, the more is not necessarily better. In summer, it should be placed in a place where it is not exposed to direct sunlight. If the light is strong, you can put up straw curtains or place tall plants to block it.

2. Watering Supplement

During the growing season, pay attention to maintaining the frequency of watering, water regularly to maintain good growth needs, and keep the soil in the pot moist. Evaporation in summer is very strong, so the amount of watering needs to be increased appropriately to ensure normal water replenishment. The temperature is lower in winter, and the demand for water is less, so the amount of watering needs to be reduced.

3. Apply fertilizer

During general maintenance, fertilizer can be applied 1-2 times a month to ensure growth needs. When it is about to bloom, the demand for fertilizer is higher, and low-level fertilizer and water can be applied every 7-10 days.

4. Temperature range

The overall temperature should be maintained at around 18-24 degrees. Pay special attention in winter to keep the temperature above 8 degrees.
