How to grow sweet potato flowers

1. Soil preparation

Sweet potato flower is also called sweet potato flower, which is another name for dahlia. The soil is the basis for its growth, so it must be maintained in good condition and ensure it is loose, breathable, soft, and nutritious. It can be mixed with humus and sand, and good drainage must be ensured. No water should accumulate in the pot.

2. Plenty of Sunlight

When growing sweet potato flowers, you must maintain sufficient sunlight and place them in a well-lit location so that they are exposed to sufficient light. They cannot grow in a dark place without sunlight. In spring, autumn and winter, direct light can be given as long as the sunlight intensity is not too strong. The intensity of sunlight in summer is relatively high, so we cannot be exposed to it directly and need to block it.

3. Maintain temperature

It likes a cool environment and has a strong adaptability to temperature. It can grow in an environment of 5-35 degrees. If you want it to grow strong and healthy, the optimal temperature should be kept at around 20 degrees. If the temperature is not suitable, it will also affect its growth.

4. Reasonable water application

It is afraid of drought and cannot tolerate waterlogging. It needs to be watered properly during its growth period and no water accumulation should occur, otherwise the bulbs will rot.

5. Apply fertilizer

It likes fertilizer very much. Fertilizer can be applied in time according to growth needs, but not excessively.
