How to grow vinca roseus

1. Maintenance conditions

1. Water: Catharanthus roseus is very afraid of water, so there should not be too much water in the soil, otherwise it will hinder its normal growth. It is best to keep the cultivation soil slightly moist, and it is fine to keep it dry in winter. The amount of watering must not be too much. During the rainy season in summer, you should move to a place where it is not exposed to rain.
2. Sunlight: It likes sunlight and needs to be kept in a sunny place so that its color will be brighter. When growing it indoors, it needs to be moved outdoors appropriately to give it sufficient light. 3. Fertilization: When cultivating, apply enough base fertilizer at the bottom of the pot, and apply fertilizer once every 10 days or so during the growing period. Fertilizer can be compound fertilizer or liquid fertilizer. Note that you cannot use raw fertilizer as it will burn the roots of the plant.

2. Breeding Methods

1. Sowing: You can choose to do it in March to May. Prepare a breathable and drainable substrate, and sow the seeds after disinfection. Cover it with a layer of fine sand and spray water appropriately, and seedlings will grow in about 7-10 days. 2. Cutting: The best time is between April and July. Select young branches with good growth and cut them into about 5-7cm. Wrap a small ball of mud at the bottom of the branch, insert it into the prepared substrate, provide it with a growing environment of 20-24℃, and small roots will grow in about 20 days.
