This is an annual herb of Compositae, which can grow to about two to five meters in height. Its origin is in Mexico, i.e. near the tropics, after it was introduced into China, it is more distributed in Guangdong, Yunnan and other provinces in the south. Next, let's learn how to raise it.

The habits of this plant

First of all, because the latitude of the original distribution area of this plant is relatively low, the temperature requirement is relatively high and it is not frost resistant. In addition, it is a very light dependent plant, so light must be guaranteed. Its adaptability is relatively strong, and it can survive in various types of soil, so it doesn't matter if the soil quality is poor, just ordinary sand. For water, it also has some needs, but generally speaking, its drought resistance is good, so water shortage in a short period of time does not have a great impact on it. In addition, it also has certain requirements for fertilizer

Specific methods

Temperature: its specific requirement for temperature is that the annual average temperature is about 16 ℃, and the temperature of the coldest month in winter is better than 8.4 ℃. If the temperature can meet the requirements in winter in southern provinces, it can be placed outdoors for winter without any cold prevention measures. However, if it is part of the north, it must be covered with plastic film and other measures to help it winter, potted plants to move them indoors

Light: no matter it grows along the road, on both sides of the river or elsewhere, it needs sufficient light to maintain its strong needs. Especially in winter when the temperature is relatively low, sunshine has a special significance for its survival.

Water and fertilizer: as for water, we need to combine wet and dry as a whole, so we don't need to pour too much water. There is also fertilizer, which can be applied once or twice at the end of August. Then, in September to October to carry out a topdressing on the leaf surface, to better promote its flowering.
