Cultivation methods and precautions of iron chopsticks

Cultivation methods and precautions of iron chopsticks

1. Watering

The heather prefers a more humid environment. Its leaves are very large and soft. You should water it more often and keep the soil moist during the growing season. In the spring, as the temperature rises, it will enter a period of vigorous growth, and the amount of watering should slowly begin to increase. In early spring, watering is generally done before noon. When the temperature is higher in summer, the evaporation is relatively large, so you must water enough. It is generally more suitable to do so in the morning or evening. The soil should be kept appropriately dry during the period from late autumn to winter, which will help its underground buds to better dormant. But during the rainy season, special attention should be paid to drainage.

2. Topdressing

Sufficient supply of fertilizer and water is the basis for its better growth. We add fertilizer three times a year. The first time is after the buds sprout in the spring. This can promote the differentiation of buds and make the flowers more colorful. The second time is after flowering, which can better supplement nutrients and promote better development of its stems and seeds. The third time is in September and October. Applying fertilizer at this time can make its roots and underground buds grow better, laying a better foundation for the next year's growth and flowering. But remember not to apply fertilizer when it blooms in early spring, otherwise the flowers will easily fall off. Also, stop fertilizing when the temperature is high in summer.

3. Shade

When spring just begins, it should be kept in sufficient sunlight, which will be conducive to the differentiation of flower buds, flowering and fruiting. Appropriate shade should also be provided in the summer. From April to the end of August, the sunlight is very strong, so you should spray some water on its leaves frequently. This way it can be cooled down appropriately.
