Potted Campanula should be planted in a deep earthenware basin or barrel with good permeability. Put fertile and loose neutral or slightly acid soil with good drainage into the basin. Or choose to mix rotten leaf soil with vegetable garden soil. The soil dug casually in the street can be exposed to the sun, and then add some base fertilizer, which can also be used. (the best is rich pine soil) )
Lingxiao flower likes a sunny environment. In the half shade environment, the growth of the plant is not vigorous, and the flower is light. Try to put the plants on the sunny courtyard, balcony, South or west balcony, and pay attention to timely ventilation. Do not place flowerpots in a north facing or enclosed balcony.
Lingxiaohua likes the humid environment. It is a little drought resistant and afraid of water logging. Therefore, the basin soil should be watered frequently in the growing period to keep the basin soil slightly wet without waterlogging. From late autumn to next spring, Lingxiao flower will enter a dormancy period. At this time, it is better to keep basin soil dry and slightly moist.
Lingxiao flower is very fond of fertilizer. In addition to adding sufficient base fertilizer into the soil in the upper basin and turning basin, after germination, nitrogen fertilizer should be applied once in 10-15 days to promote the growth of branches and leaves. However, from May, the fertilizer based on P and K fertilizer was changed to promote flower bud differentiation and bud pregnancy. From June 7 to 10 days, 0.2% potassium dihydrogen phosphate solution was sprayed on the leaves to promote the blooming of flowers. After flowering and withering, apply one or two times of P and K fertilizer to ensure sufficient nutrients before overwintering. In winter, the Campanula hibernates, do not fertilize.
After the short dormancy in winter, the plants will enter the vigorous growth period in early spring. Therefore, in early spring, the dead branches, the thin and weak branches, the long branches and the disorderly branches will be cut off in time, and the long branches will be shrunk and cut, so as to promote the sprouting of new robust branches.
It is mentioned in the water and fertilizer requirements of Lingxiao flower that Lingxiao flower likes humid environment, but in high temperature and humidity environment. Lingxiao is very vulnerable to aphids. Therefore, it is required to ventilate frequently in the maintenance process to ensure sufficient humidity, but proper cooling is required to avoid insect damage. In addition, once aphids are found, they should be washed or sprayed with water in time to avoid serious insect damage.
Lingxiao is a Liana plant. When it grows to a certain extent, it needs to set up poles and shelves for climbing. In the family, you can put Lingxiao on the bottom of the flower rack, let it climb the edge of the flower rack to grow, decorate the flower rack and save the trouble of setting up the bracket.
Generally, when sprouting in early spring every year, for plants more than 5 years, keep the trunk 30-40 cm for short cutting, at the same time, carry out root pruning, keep the main root system, and replant. After pumping out new branches in the upper basin, only 3-5 new branches in the upper part are kept, and the rest are all cut off to control water and fertilizer. After a year's maintenance, it is a beautiful and young Lingxiao flower.
