How to grow rue

1. Maintenance conditions

1. Watering: Water is very important to it. The amount of water will directly affect its growth. Therefore, even when the temperature is relatively high in summer, you should not water too much. Instead, you should reduce the amount of watering and keep the soil in the pot dry. Too much water will cause root rot and affect its growth.

2. Temperature: Lophatherum is afraid of cold, so we can keep it indoors. In winter, it can be placed in a warm room, and the suitable temperature can be kept between 3℃-5℃. If the temperature drops, you can take appropriate insulation measures, such as covering the plants with a layer of film.

3. Fertilization: During its flowering period, you must use more fertilizer. You can apply fertilizer twice a month to promote better flowering and growth. It is generally appropriate to use diluted fertilizer water containing nitrogen, and flower fertilizer should usually be applied after June.

4. Pruning: As it grows more and more luxuriantly, you can appropriately prune the flower stems emerging from the leaves. And you can appropriately cut off old branches and withered leaves to avoid excessive loss of nutrients.

2. Breeding Methods

We usually propagate by sowing. The time can be chosen during the Qingming Festival, which is conducive to its survival. It is best to use slightly acidic soil and sow the seeds evenly in it. You can sow the seeds more densely to greatly improve the survival rate. After the seedlings grow out in the later stage, you can thin them out appropriately and pay attention to keeping the soil in the pot moist to promote germination faster.
