How to take care of the newly bought morning glory

1. How to care for the newly bought morning glory

Morning glory does not have high requirements for soil. When you first buy it, you can choose humus-rich leaf mold for it, which will make it easier to maintain. You also need to provide a warm and humid environment for it to grow in the pot, and do a good job of water and fertilizer management. When you first buy it, water it once every 3-4 days on average, and stop fertilizing temporarily. Provide appropriate light and place it in a place with sufficient scattered light for best maintenance.

2. Specific breeding methods

1. Temperature: It likes a warm environment, cannot tolerate severe cold and is afraid of frost. When you just buy it, you can keep it in an environment with a temperature of about 25℃ for maintenance. Do not keep it in a low temperature environment for a long time. Once frost damage occurs, it will be extremely difficult to recover. In winter, the temperature should be kept at least above 10℃.

2. Light: It likes light and needs sufficient light during its growth period. However, when you just buy it and it has not yet adapted to the new environment, you can place it in a place with scattered light for a while, and then move it to a place with sufficient light for maintenance. In summer when the light is strong, proper shade is needed to prevent leaf burns.

3. Watering: It grows best in a slightly moist environment. When you just come back, you need to control the amount of watering and avoid water accumulation. Water thoroughly once after planting, and then water once every 3-4 days. After the plant returns to normal growth, you can water it once a day to keep the soil moist but not waterlogged.

4. Fertilization: It needs sufficient nutrients during its growth period and sufficient base fertilizer needs to be applied. During the acclimatization period, you need to temporarily stop fertilizing. After the plant gradually resumes normal growth, you can resume fertilizing normally. It is advisable to apply nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium compound fertilizer or granular fertilizer. Avoid applying nitrogen fertilizer alone to prevent excessive growth and few flowers. When planting, if base fertilizer is applied, top dressing can be done once a month. If there is no base fertilizer, top dressing can be done once every 15-20 days.
