How to grow crape myrtle

1. Suitable loam

In order to achieve good drainage effect, it is best to choose sandy loam for planting. You can mix mountain soil, garden soil and fine river sand in a ratio of 5:3:2 to make culture soil. You can also add bone meal to increase nutrients.

2. Sufficient light

It likes sunlight very much and needs more sunlight during the planting process. It can be planted directly in the courtyard or on the balcony, so that it can be exposed to sunlight for more time and absorb light every day. If the environment is dark and there is insufficient sunlight, the flowers will not bloom, or they will be too small and unsightly.

3. Fertilization should be timely

It likes fertilizer and has certain requirements for nutrients. During the growing period, do not forget to apply nutrients to the plants, otherwise the flowers may fail to bloom. Apply low-concentration fertilizers frequently. The concentration should not be too high, as it may cause fertilizer damage and the plants will not be able to absorb it.

4. Keep moist

It likes moisture, especially during the growing season. Keep the soil in the pot moist. The amount of moisture can be increased or decreased appropriately according to the season. In spring, the plant grows rapidly and only needs to be watered once a day. In summer, when the weather is hot and evaporation occurs quickly, water can be applied twice a day. In autumn, when the temperature drops, the amount of water can be reduced.
