In order to breed shellfish, we need to decide the size of the flower pot according to the condition of the plant. Generally, 10 to 15 seeds can be planted in the flower pot with a diameter of 15cm. The soil needs to use fertile basin soil with good drainage, not too sticky, otherwise it will affect the growth of plants, and the garden soil with good drainage can be selected.
Shellfish like sunshine, prefer warm living environment. In the maintenance process, it is necessary to maintain sufficient light, but do not expose to the sun in summer to avoid burns. The suitable temperature for growth is 15 ℃ - 30 ℃.
Shell flower needs reasonable operation in water and fertilizer management. During seed germination, it can be watered frequently. After the seedlings grow and survive, it can be watered and fertilized normally. Watering depends on the water shortage of shellfish. If the soil is wet, watering is not necessary. Fertilization can be applied once or twice a month, and fertilization should be stopped after flowering.
The propagation of shellfish is usually carried out by sowing, which can be done in spring, summer and autumn. Ensure the appropriate temperature, germination will be faster, when the length of 6 leaves can be transplanted. When transplanting, it is better to carry out transplanting with soil. In order to get good ornamental effect, it can be planted in batches.
In order to form a certain shape, it is necessary to pick the center during the growth of shell flower.
Shells and peanuts are more robust, and there are fewer pests and diseases, but sometimes there is the damage of leafminer. It is necessary to observe the growth of plants frequently, find diseases in time, and control them.
