This flower can be seen as a "two-color" flower, but many people don't know it, it's a pity

Many people actually don’t know much about lisianthus. After all, lilies and roses are so famous that they overshadow the beauty of lisianthus. But it doesn’t matter. Today Huahua will introduce you to lisianthus in detail, and by the way, talk about how to grow lisianthus.

Eustoma is a perennial herb of the Gentianaceae family. The flowers of lisianthus can be double petals or single petals. Not only that, its petals can be single-colored or double-colored. This is one of the reasons why Huahua insists on comparing it with jasmine, lily and rose. The flowers of lisianthus are not inferior to those of roses. Some friends even call lisianthus "thornless roses", which really hits the most important advantage of lisianthus. It looks beautiful but has no thorns, so why not grow it?

Let's talk about the cultivation method of lisianthus:

1. Disinfection of potting soil

Before planting or transplanting, the planting pots and soil should be disinfected first. You can spray them with high-temperature steam, or wash them and expose them to the sun for two or three days. It is best to expose the soil to the sun for two or three days as well. This will keep the pH value of the soil within the neutral range as much as possible, which is conducive to the later growth of lisianthus.

2. Suitable temperature

The most suitable temperature for lisianthus growth is 15-28 degrees Celsius. The night temperature of lisianthus during the growth period should not be lower than 12 degrees Celsius. If the temperature is lower than 5 degrees Celsius in winter, lisianthus will not bloom. Pay attention to shade in the summer. Too strong light will shorten the flowering period of lisianthus or even cause it to not bloom at all.

3. Soil

Generally speaking, it is best to choose neutral soil for planting lisianthus. If the soil can maintain good fertility and good air permeability, it would be perfect. We can choose to add substances such as peat soil to the soil to make the soil more nutritious, which can make lisianthus grow better.

4. Watering

Lisianthus likes a slightly moist growing environment, so watering is particularly important at this time. Although Lisianthus likes a moist environment, many friends will water it too much without paying attention. When watering, it is best to use drip irrigation, which can better control the amount of water and prevent problems such as root rot in Lisianthus.

5. Fertilization

Lisianthus has a high demand for fertilizer during its growth period. Not only can you put some organic fertilizer as base fertilizer before planting, but you must also remember to apply more topdressing to Lisianthus during the growth period.
