Cultivation methods and precautions of lilac

1. Maintenance methods

1. Soil: It is best to use a ceramic pot to grow lilacs, and then choose some sandy soil. This way, the soil is both breathable and drainable, which is very suitable for the growth of lilacs, and also eliminates the hidden dangers of waterlogging and root rot.

2. Water: Lilac has a certain degree of drought resistance, but it does not mean that it can be left without watering for a long time. Generally, it can be watered after the soil in the pot becomes dry. If it rains, pay attention to drainage.

3. Light: This is a plant that particularly likes sunlight. When cultivating it, it must be placed in a location with sufficient light. It can be placed in a balcony, sunny dining room, or other place with long sunshine hours.

4. Temperature: It has strict requirements on temperature and is suitable for growing in an environment of 15-25℃. In summer and winter, special attention should be paid to shading and keeping warm, and the air circulation in the maintenance environment should be ensured to avoid the occurrence of diseases and pests.

2. Breeding techniques

1. Pruning: The roots of lilac should be pruned once when repotting, and the second time is to prune in early spring, cutting off overly dense and weak branches to ensure that the supply of nutrients is not wasted, and to ensure sufficient ventilation and sunlight for subsequent growth.

2. Repotting: Lilacs are relatively easy to take care of. When repotting, you only need enough fertilizer. After planting, just water them thoroughly once, and that's it.

3. Problem diagnosis and treatment

1. Yellow leaves: also known as chlorosis, it is more common in northern regions. It is caused by the lack of iron in the soil. The plants cannot carry out photosynthesis normally, and the leaves will turn yellow when the nutrients decrease. Adding ferrous sulfate when fertilizing or using vinegar diluted with water for watering can improve the situation.

2. Red spider mites: This pest is quite common. Once discovered, it must be isolated and treated with medication immediately. It reproduces very quickly and will reproduce the next generation in about 3 days, which is extremely harmful to the leaves. Commonly used drugs include: Avicennia maritima, Bilbovir, Avermectin, Mite Danger, etc., which can be used in proportion.

IV. Other issues

1. Is it poisonous? Lilac flowers are not toxic at all, and its flowers can be soaked in water and drunk. It has many benefits to the human body and tastes very sweet.

2. Can it be grown in the bedroom: It is not recommended to grow lilac in the bedroom. The smell released by its flowers at night has an adverse effect on people with heart disease and high blood pressure, causing a feeling of stuffiness and consuming indoor oxygen, so try not to grow it in the bedroom.
