How to raise Chunjian

Planting and cultivation

Spring sword is suitable for planting in spring. Before planting, you should first clean the roots and leaves of the spring sword with clean water, then trim the remaining roots and rotten roots, and clean up all the diseased leaves and dry leaves. Then soak the roots of the spring sword in diluted potassium permanganate solution for a while, dry them in the shade and let them air dry for a day before planting.

Moisture Management

Spring sword likes a relatively humid environment, but the flower is afraid of waterlogging, so be careful not to water too much when watering, just keep the soil slightly moist. Generally speaking, you can water it when the soil in the pot is slightly dry. It is best to water the plants in sunny weather, especially in the warmer morning. It is best not to water them in rainy weather to prevent waterlogging. When watering in winter, be careful not to water them thoroughly, just keep the soil slightly moist. It is best to use weakly acidic softened water for watering. Do not use tap water directly. You can dry it in the sun for a day or two before using it for watering. When watering, do not pour the water directly on the branches and leaves. You can slowly water along the edge of the flowerpot. Be careful not to accumulate water, otherwise the roots will easily rot.

Fertilizer management

Spring sword likes fertilizer more. When planting, you should first spread a layer of base fertilizer at the bottom of the pot. Potted spring sword that has been applied with base fertilizer should be careful not to fertilize again this year, otherwise it is easy to burn the root system with excess nutrition. The next year's spring sword can be properly fertilized before the flowering period arrives or after the new buds sprout. The amount of fertilizer should not be too heavy, just apply it thinly. A little nitrogen fertilizer can be applied to the seedlings. It should be noted that it is not suitable to apply fertilizer when the temperature is too high or too low.

Lighting Management

Controlling light is an important aspect of caring for the spring sword. If the sunlight is too strong or too much, the leaves of the spring sword will turn yellow or even wither and fall off. If the sunlight is too little, it will slow down the growth of the spring sword, affect the germination of flower buds, and reduce the amount of flowering. The right amount of sunlight will make the spring sword grow vigorously, germinate more flower buds, and improve the quality of flowering.

Pest and disease control

It is best to prevent diseases and pests of spring sword in advance. Pay attention to sterilization and disinfection of plants and vines in normal times. You can use liquid medicine to spray the leaves of spring sword to improve the immunity of branches and leaves. If diseased leaves are found, the leaves with diseased spots should be cut off in time to prevent the disease from spreading further.
