How to care for newly bought hollyhocks

1. Lighting

Hollyhock loves sunlight, and sufficient light is conducive to its growth. After you buy it, you can place it in a place with soft diffuse light for cultivation. Because it has just arrived in the new environment, it is still relatively fragile. Avoid exposure to strong light and provide appropriate shade.

2. Temperature

Hollyhock likes a warm environment. After buying it home, it is best to control the temperature between 25-30℃, so that the hollyhock can adapt to the new environment faster. The minimum temperature should not be lower than 17℃, otherwise it will easily affect the plants and make it difficult to adapt to the new environment.

3. Watering

The amount of watering must be controlled, because the hollyhock is now relatively fragile and the root system cannot absorb too much water. Excessive watering will easily cause water accumulation and damage the root system. Hollyhock does not require much water, just keep the soil moist.

4. Fertilization

You can add a little base fertilizer to the newly purchased hollyhock potting soil to help it resume growth faster. But be careful not to over-fertilize, because its current root system cannot absorb too much fertilizer. Fertilizer accumulation will cause root burn. Resume normal fertilization after it adapts to the new environment.
