Cuiju likes humid environment, but is afraid of being too wet. It is a shallow root plant. Therefore, it is necessary to keep the basin soil moist during the growth period, which is conducive to the growth of plants. In summer, due to the relatively dry environment, the number of watering can be increased appropriately.
Cuiju likes a warm and sunny environment, and grows vigorously in a convenient and sunny environment.
Cuiju is sensitive to sunlight and likes to be exposed to sunlight.
The suitable growth temperature of Kingfisher is 15 ℃ - 25 ℃, and its cold resistance is weak, and it is not resistant to extreme heat.
The temperature in winter should not be lower than 3 ℃. If the temperature is below 0 ℃, the stems and leaves will be damaged by freezing.
If the temperature is over 30 ℃ in summer, it will lead to less flowering or delayed flowering.
Cuiju likes fertile and moist soil with good drainage. Generally, it chooses loam and sandy loam, and fertilizes properly according to the growth of plants.
Watering should be carried out according to the actual situation, and the basin soil should not be too wet, otherwise it will lead to the excessive growth and lodging of kingfisher, and may cause disease, and the ponding caused by excessive watering will also cause the rotten roots of Kingfisher to die.
Cuiju likes to be exposed to the sun. If it is exposed to the sun for up to 15 hours every day, the plant will grow vigorously, be shorter and stronger, and the flowering period will be advanced. On the contrary, if the sunshine is short, the plant will grow higher and the flowering period will be relatively delayed.
So when breeding, the plant should be placed in a place that can receive direct sunlight.
There is no need to pick the center of the kingfisher, but in order to highlight the flowers on the main branch, you can often trim the lateral branches, and keep 5-7 flower branches per plant.
