How to make baby's breath bloom and how to save seeds

1. How to make the pot explode

1. Pinching: If you want the baby's breath to grow out of the pot, you must first pinch it when it grows to a certain height, which can promote the growth of branches. When the side branches grow to a certain length, you can pinch them off, so that the plant will grow lushly. Moreover, with more branches, there are more places for flowers to bloom, which can make it look more beautiful.

2. Watering: Baby's breath has good drought resistance and does not require much water. You can water it more in the early stages of development. When it grows to 30 cm, you must pay attention to water control, especially during the flowering period, you must not water it, otherwise the branches will become soft and grow too long. If there is water accumulation in the soil, the excess water needs to be drained out.

3. Fertilization: When fertilizing baby's breath, be sure to use thin fertilizer. In the early stage, mainly use nitrogen fertilizer to promote the growth of branches and leaves. Apply once every 10 days. After that, the proportion of nitrogen fertilizer should be reduced, and phosphorus fertilizer and potassium fertilizer should be increased appropriately. At the same time, calcium nitrate, potassium nitrate and wood ash should be supplemented. Fertilizing needs to be stopped 45 days before the plant blooms.

4. Light: Baby's breath is a long-day plant. The longer the light time, the more beneficial it is for the growth of the plant. If the time is less than 8 hours, the plant will easily become clustered, and it will not be able to bud within 12 hours. Only more than 14 hours can it bloom normally. If the daytime hours are insufficient, you can supplement the light at night.

2. How to save seeds

When the baby's breath is in bloom, gently pat it with your hands or brush it off with a brush. When the flower withers, you can find black seeds inside.
