Cultivation methods and precautions of June Snow

Farming methods

illumination

June snow is afraid of strong light, so it needs to be shaded for daily maintenance and placed in a cool place to avoid direct sunlight and absorb scattered light.

Watering

Keep the soil moist throughout the year.

The summer is hot and dry. In addition to watering every day, you also need to spray the leaves with clean water, or spray the nearby ground to maintain the relative humidity of the air.

As the temperature drops in autumn, the amount of watering should be gradually controlled, watering once every 2 to 3 days.

In winter, water the plant once every 7 to 10 days.

Fertilization

Apply thin liquid fertilizer every 10-15 days during the growing season. You can also use water with fertilizer, that is, add thin liquid fertilizer each time you water.

temperature

June snow prefers warm climate and is slightly cold-resistant. The temperature is relatively low in winter, so it needs to be moved indoors for cultivation. The indoor temperature cannot be lower than 0℃. If June snow is frozen, it will easily die.

soil

June snow is not very demanding on soil and grows best in loose, permeable and well-ventilated soil.

Precautions

Apply fertilizer frequently

In addition to normal fertilization, foliar fertilization should be carried out regularly. It can be done 3 to 4 times during the growing season. Spray the leaves with 1% potassium dihydrogen phosphate solution to adjust the pH and increase plant nutrition.

Avoid sun exposure in summer

In summer, the plants should be placed in a cool place. You can use small-hole nylon mesh or plastic window screen to build a semi-light shade, which can both maintain ventilation and absorb scattered light.

Pay attention to ventilation in summer

If placed indoors for maintenance in summer, the ventilation needs to be increased, otherwise the branches will grow too long, the leaves will turn yellow, and a large number of lower leaves will fall off.

Repotting in spring

In March every year, June snow can be moved outdoors. Before that, you need to change the pot with leaf mold and use hoof horn pieces as base fertilizer at the bottom of the pot.
