How to grow blue flax

1. Maintenance methods

1. Temperature: Blue flax prefers a cooler environment, so it can be kept between 15 and 20 degrees. A too hot environment is very bad for it, so try not to exceed 30 degrees, especially a stuffy environment, which must be avoided. However, its cold resistance is relatively good.

2. Light: Blue flax prefers an environment with plenty of sunlight, but it can also tolerate partial shade. It just cannot be kept in a very dark place for a long time. Especially during the growth period, it cannot be left without any light. In addition, in winter, try to expose it to more light.

3. Watering: Blue flax requires a lot of water during the seedling stage. Generally speaking, spraying water once or twice a day can meet its requirements, and the substrate needs to be kept moist at all times. When it grows up, you can gradually reduce the frequency of watering, and replenish water in time during droughts.

4. Fertilization: If there is insufficient nutrients in the soil, then subsequent fertilization will be more important. It is best to use organic fertilizer or compound fertilizer. But do not over-fertilize.

2. Breeding techniques

1. Reproduction: Cutting method can be used. The substrate can be nutrient soil, river sand, peat soil, etc. The materials can be healthy and relatively thick branches, preferably the top branches. The temperature after cuttings should be between 18 and 25 degrees, and appropriate shade should be provided to prevent wound rot. Furthermore, it is very important to drink enough water.

2. Pruning: Pruning of blue flax is mainly done when dry parts appear or when it is diseased or infested with insects. Pruning is a very good auxiliary measure. Furthermore, it is best to do some light pruning after flowering.

3. Problem diagnosis and treatment

1. Diseases: Excessive watering or failure to drain water in time during the rainy season, which leads to water accumulation, may cause diseases such as "root rot". Since there are rotten parts in the root system, you have to remove the plant from the pot and repair the root system while spraying the medicine.

2. Pests: Pests do not appear frequently and the damage is not serious. If there are any, just spray pesticides in time.

IV. Other issues

1. Toxicity: It is non-toxic and harmless, so don’t worry.

2. Can it be kept at home: Yes. It is a relatively common flower, and its flowers are very delicate, cute and beautiful. It can not only be placed at home, but also can be used to decorate flower beds.
