How to grow evening mist flower

1. Maintenance methods

1. Temperature: Evening mist flowers prefer a cooler environment. Specifically, the most suitable temperature is around 18 degrees, neither too high nor too low. Don't let the temperature drop below ten degrees in winter. The task in summer is to cool down, spray more, ventilate, etc.

2. Light: The evening mist flower likes light and has relatively high requirements for sunlight. If the sunlight in its growing environment is relatively weak, its growth will be slowed down, and the corresponding flowering period will be delayed. Generally speaking, try to provide about sixteen hours of light a day when it is growing fastest and flowering. If sunlight is insufficient, lamplight can be used instead.

3. Watering: Evening mist flower likes moisture, so the soil needs to be kept moist. However, if it is the rainy season, we must also do a good job of drainage and flood prevention to avoid waterlogging disasters. In addition, in winter, the substrate needs to be kept slightly dry.

4. Fertilization: During the growth period of the evening mist flower, fertilization is more important, generally once a month. The main focus is on phosphorus and potassium fertilizers, which are beneficial for its flowering.

2. Breeding techniques

1. Pruning: Generally speaking, the evening mist flower should be pruned mainly after it has bloomed. The first task is to cut off all the dead flowers, because they not only consume nutrients but also affect the appearance. In addition, you also need to observe whether there are any dry branches and cut them off at the same time.

2. Repotting: The evening mist flower has high requirements for soil, so you need to pay attention to repotting when planting in pots. When choosing new soil, the main factors to consider are air permeability, drainage performance, and whether it contains a lot of nutrients. You can mainly use sandy soil, and then add some garden soil, wood ash, river sand and other materials. This will meet a variety of requirements and be beneficial to future growth.

3. Problem diagnosis and treatment

1. Diseases: The evening mist flower does not usually have too many diseases, but it may occur when the environment is relatively harsh. For example, "anthracnose" will occur when the temperature and humidity are very high. It can be treated with drugs such as chlorothalonil.

2. Pests: Relatively speaking, there are not too many. They may occur when the temperature is suitable for pest reproduction. Just spray pesticides in time.
