Breeding methods and precautions of the city that never sleeps

Farming methods

Light and temperature

The sunshine time and intensity in spring are most suitable for its growth.

However, in the hot summer weather, you should pay proper attention to shading. Long-term exposure to the sun will cause the leaves to become thin, not full, and the color will become darker.

The temperature is low in winter, so it should be placed in a sunny place indoors for maintenance.

Watering

The City That Never Sleeps is drought resistant and should be watered based on the principle of “don’t water unless the soil is dry, and water thoroughly when you do.”

In midsummer, the temperature is high and the evaporation is large, so the plants need to be watered sufficiently and the leaves sprayed with water frequently.

After autumn, gradually reduce watering.

It is better to keep the soil in the pot slightly dry in winter. When the temperature is too low, it is not suitable to water.

Fertilization

The Evergreen Plant is highly adaptable and usually does not require fertilizer.

During the growing period of the Everbright City, you can apply 2-3 times of decomposed thin liquid fertilizer or rice water. It is not advisable to apply too concentrated fertilizer.

It is not advisable to apply fertilizer during the dog days to avoid root rot.

Repotting

Repot in early spring every year. The potting soil should be loose, fertile, well-drained and breathable sandy soil. You can use 2 parts each of leaf mold or peat soil, sand or vermiculite, and 1 part of garden soil, and add a small amount of decomposed bone meal or wood ash as base fertilizer.

Precautions

Pay attention to watering

Watering should not be too frequent, nor too much at one time. Water should be applied in moderation and the soil should be loosened appropriately.

Be careful when using flower pots

It is recommended to use a clay pot, because the city that never sleeps has high requirements for ventilation and air permeability, and no water can accumulate. The pot should be repotted at least every 2-3 years.

When growing the City That Never Sleeps, do not move it frequently or change the pot frequently. When changing the pot, keep its roots and trim the roots appropriately.
