Chrysanthemums are basically like the light, this Echinacea is no exception, like light and drought. If the temperature is not enough, the best condition will not grow. They are not picky about the soil, but if they plant in a more fertile soil, they will grow better, and the flowers will bloom big and colorful, very beautiful. The suitable temperature is 16 - 24 ℃, and it should be above 10 ℃ at night.
As mentioned above, they prefer sunshine and can adapt to the dry conditions. The most comfortable lighting time is 14-16 hours a day, so it's very suitable for flower friends living in the south to plant. It's better to have seven or eight weeks of high-intensity lighting. But if planted in the north, it will bloom in May, but it can last until September.
After being planted, Echinacea can basically use fertilizer once or twice a week, and at the same time, magnesium should be supplemented timely, so as to prevent them from unbalanced nutrition. In addition, you can also add some slow-release fertilizer when planting, so that they can grow better within 3-5 months without lack of nutrition.
The temperature they like is also different in different stages. When they grow well, they should keep it at 16-24 ℃, and at 10-16 ℃ at night. However, when they sprout, they need a higher temperature. It's better to keep it at 22-24 ℃, in this state, they can sprout in 2-4 days.
Well, I know how to maintain such lovely flowers. I can do it.
