Cultivation methods and precautions of Primula oleracea

temperature

This plant is very afraid of high temperatures. If the temperature rises above 22 degrees, it will affect its normal growth. The suitable temperature for growth is between 12 and 22 degrees. However, if the temperature can be controlled at 20 degrees during the day and 12 degrees at night, this will not only be beneficial to growth, but also prolong the flowering period and make the flower colors more colorful. It needs to be moved indoors during the winter and the temperature must be maintained above 5 degrees.

Sunlight

In summer and autumn, keep it in a cool place and avoid direct sunlight on the plant. Especially when the temperature is too high in summer, be prepared to provide shade. When the flower buds are growing, in addition to maintaining the temperature at 15 degrees, sufficient sunlight must be ensured, which is very beneficial for flowering.

Moisture

During the growth stage of seedlings, it is important to control the amount of watering and not to use too much, otherwise it will affect the growth of the roots. During the normal growing period, the soil in the pot should be kept slightly dry, but not too wet. If the leaves are short of water, you can sprinkle some water on them first and then water them.

nutrient

During the growing season, fertilizer should be applied 3 to 4 times a month. Be sure to control the concentration of the fertilizer, preferring a light fertilizer to a heavy one. When fertilizing, do not let the plants get contaminated by fertilizer, otherwise it will easily burn their leaves. If they are contaminated, rinse them immediately with clean water.
