How to grow Thousand Birds Flower

1. Maintenance methods

1. Temperature: The cold resistance of the chickweed is very strong, so it is most suitable for cultivation in the north. In winter, it can grow in an environment of minus 35 degrees without being affected, so it can spend the winter outdoors. At the same time, the temperature suitable for its growth is between 5 and 25 degrees. You can pay appropriate attention to the high temperature in summer, not too high, a warm environment will be enough.

2. Watering: Thousand Birds prefer dryness, so the soil should not be too moist, otherwise the plant will wither and turn yellow. Water it thoroughly each time, and wait until the soil becomes dry again before watering again to ensure normal absorption. Watering can be restrained in winter.

3. Light: Just ensure normal and warm light. It has a certain shade-tolerance property, but it cannot be kept in this growth environment for a long time, especially during the flowering period, otherwise both flowering and growth will be poor. Be careful about the strong light in summer and place it in a relatively hidden place.
