Crazy growth points:

1. Fertilization. The flowering period of Blue Snow is relatively long. If you want it to bloom and grow continuously, fertilization is essential. During the growth period of Blue Snow, you must insist on applying thin fertilizers frequently. In the growing seasons of spring and summer, fertilize once a week with compound fertilizers. Apply phosphorus and potassium fertilizers before flowering.

In addition to top dressing, you can also spray foliar fertilizer. The fertilization standards can be followed according to the instructions. Also, when repotting or new planting, you must apply enough base fertilizer. You can choose a long-acting slow-release fertilizer for the base fertilizer.

2. Blue snow flower likes a humid environment, so it must be kept moist during cultivation. If there is a temporary lack of water, replenish water quickly and the condition will recover, but water must not accumulate.

3. Pruning: Don’t be reluctant. Prune the blue snow flower immediately after it blooms. Just cut off old branches that are more than two years old. There is no use in keeping them. Basically, after pruning, it will bloom again in about a month~

ivy

Everyone should be familiar with ivy, which has beautiful leaf shapes, especially some variegated varieties with varied patterns, which are also the favorites of many flower lovers.

1. If you want it to grow fast, you have to fertilize it frequently, but ivy is very afraid of excessive nitrogen fertilizer. If too much nitrogen fertilizer is applied to variegated varieties, the patterns will slowly fade.

For seedlings, apply 10 times decomposed liquid fertilizer mixed with an equal amount of 500 times potassium dihydrogen phosphate solution every half a month during the growing season. Apply mixed liquid fertilizer once every month to established plants. If the leaves turn yellow, spray 1000 times urea solution on the leaves 1-2 times.

When applying decomposed liquid fertilizer, use a fine-mouthed spray bottle to slowly pour it near the edge of the pot. Do not splash the fertilizer onto the leaves, otherwise the leaves may be easily burned.

2. It needs sufficient light. It is best to place it on the south balcony for indoor cultivation. Only by getting sun can the ivy have short internodes, uniform leaf shape and bright leaf color.

3. Ivy likes moisture. During the growing period, the soil in the pot should be kept moist, and the leaves should be sprayed with water every day to increase the air humidity. In winter, the number of watering should be reduced, but it should not be too dry. Basically, it is enough to keep the soil dry and wet.

Nasturtium

Nasturtium, also known as golden lotus, is even simply called dry lotus in some places. This flower is also very common and grows very fast.

1. Be careful when fertilizing nasturtium. Do not use too much nitrogen fertilizer, otherwise the branches and leaves will grow too long and look ugly. It is best to apply self-fermented organic fertilizer once every 3 to 4 weeks, such as bean cake water, with a concentration of 15%.

Do not apply nitrogen fertilizer during the flowering period. You can use 0.55% superphosphate, which can promote bright green leaves and abundant flowering. After flowering, add 25% cake fertilizer water. It is good to replenish the nutrients consumed during flowering.

2. If you want to have more pots of nasturtium, you can choose to propagate by cuttings. Just cut the top bud branches about 5 to 7 cm long for cuttings. During the cutting period, place them in a place with scattered light and keep the soil moist. It is recommended to use pure vermiculite or pure perlite for cuttings.

3. If the temperature in winter can be maintained at 12~16℃, nasturtium can grow normally. Just apply less fertilizer and water, and it can grow normally!

Chlorophytum comosum

Although the phalaenopsis is called spider plant, it has nothing to do with the spider plant and the two do not look alike at all.

Crazy growth tips:

1. Fertilization: Apply thin fertilizers frequently during the growing season, and don’t make the fertilizers too concentrated. Use compound fertilizers and potassium dihydrogen phosphate alternately, and dilute them before watering to prevent the roots from rotting. The interval between fertilization is half a month.

2. The more flowers the spider plant blooms, the more sunlight it sees. It must be exposed to the sun more often, but when the temperature is too high in summer, you must pay attention to shade it.

3. If you want more Chlorophytum comosum, you can choose cuttings. Cuttings are easiest to keep alive in spring and autumn, and they are easier to keep alive in summer if you leave them for two days before cutting them. You can choose garden soil and leaf mold in a 1:1 ratio for the soil. Water them two days after cuttings, which will make it easier for them to grow roots and less likely to rot. Manage the plant normally 2 to 3 days after cutting and keep the soil moist.

Morning Glory

Yes, the morning glory Huahua is talking about is the kind we often see in the wild. The flowers are small and exquisite, easy to keep, and like to grow wildly. It is definitely a cost-effective choice~

Crazy growth tips:

1. Adequate light and good ventilation are essential. Morning glory itself grows in the wild, so the light and ventilation conditions are of course very good, so when moving it indoors, you must try to meet these conditions.

2. Fertilization: Apply thin liquid fertilizer once every half a month. It is best to use compound fertilizer. In addition, do not use too much nitrogen fertilizer, otherwise it will affect the plant shape. Also, the potted morning glory needs a support, or it should be placed against a wall or railing so that it can climb.

3. When the morning glory grows 3 to 4 true leaves, it is time to pinch the top. After the side branches sprout 3 to 4 leaves, they also need to be pinched. At this time, you can also shape it according to your own wishes.

Pendant

The apple-flavored scent of the pennywort is refreshing and pleasant. Of course, if you don't like the smell, you can choose not to touch its leaves.

1. In the south, you can try growing it outdoors. You don’t need to take care of it much, and it will fill the pot in a month. If it is not restrained by the pot, it will continue to spread and spread, and finally become a large piece!

2. The old leaves below the plant should be removed continuously to provide space for new buds to sprout, which can speed up the growth of the plant.

3. Fertilize the petals, it will grow better, but the fertilizer for petals should be mainly phosphorus and potassium fertilizers, and nitrogen fertilizers should be as little as possible. Of course, the fertilizer you make at home is better.

sorrel

Like the pennywort, it is also a plant with super strong vitality. Once it grows, it will form a large patch. Some flower lovers even pull out the oxalis in the flowerpot as a weed...

1. When sowing Oxalis, you must apply sufficient base fertilizer. You can choose slow-release fertilizer or organic fertilizer fermented at home. Start fertilizing when the seedlings grow 2 to 3 true leaves. You can choose some water-soluble fertilizers, such as fermented rice water, bean cake water, etc. After that, apply thin fertilizers frequently, and apply more phosphorus and potassium fertilizers before flowering to promote flowering!

2. Oxalis loves sunlight very much. Except for the summer when the sun is shining brightly and shade is needed, you must get plenty of sun exposure in other seasons. This is how it can grow wildly! There will be more flowers in the end~

3. Since Oxalis is a bulbous plant, you must be careful when watering it during its growth. Water cannot accumulate, otherwise the roots will rot. You can avoid watering if the soil is dry, and water thoroughly when you do.

Small ball rose

Speaking of rose hips, Huahua thinks of its extremely powerful creeping ability. To be honest, if you grow it outdoors, after 3 months, you will see lots and lots of rose hips!

1. Full sun, full sun, it must be full sun. Only with full sun can the rose ball grow well and the leaves will become red and beautiful.

2. Pruning: If you want the rose bulb to grow faster, you can constantly cut off the top and use cuttings to promote the sprouting of side branches.

3. Before planting, it is best to apply enough base fertilizer to the rose bulbs. You can use compound fertilizer.

Sunflower

Sunflowers can be seen everywhere in rural areas. They are famous for being easy to grow and not dying. It’s growing very fast!

1. Fertilization. Well, in fact, sunflowers can grow very well even without fertilizer. Fertilization is just the icing on the cake. Choose compound fertilizer, apply thin fertilizer frequently, and apply potassium dihydrogen phosphate before flowering.

2. Sunbathing. This is very important. Sunflowers like light. If conditions permit, full sun exposure is best.

3. Water when the soil is dry and do not allow water to accumulate. It is enough to ensure this.

Mint

Mint can be said to be a relatively famous lazy plant, because it is really easy to grow and grows very fast.

1. During the growth period of mint, water it sufficiently to keep the soil in the pot moist. But no water accumulation.

2. Mint needs to be fertilized frequently with thin fertilizers, mainly nitrogen fertilizers and supplemented by phosphorus and potassium fertilizers. Therefore, Huahua recommends that you apply compound fertilizer directly once every half a month.
