There are two kinds of dryland, spring sowing and autumn sowing. Spring sown from March to June usually blooms from August to December. Those sown in autumn usually bloom on New Year's day.
The seeds of Eclipta are relatively hard. If you want it to germinate a little faster, you need to soak it in warm water at about 40 ℃ for 2-3 days, gradually soften the shell, and then you can plant it.
Dryland lotus likes the soil with good permeability. It is suggested that the proportion of saprophytic soil, garden soil and sandy soil should be 4:4:1. This kind of soil has good permeability and drainage. Generally, no more than 5 seeds can be placed in a flowerpot.
After the seeds are buried in the soil, they need not be covered with too thick soil, a little thinner, and they can be attached to the seeds with fine soil to prevent the seeds from being exposed. If there are seedlings in the later stage, we can add some more soil to protect the roots of the seedlings.
Generally, it can grow in 3-5 days. When it grows 5-6 leaves, it can top and remove the heart. The longer and stronger the plant type, the normal maintenance can be achieved.
1. Eclipta is very fond of light. It can be maintained in full sunlight in spring and autumn. However, in summer, it should pay attention to sunshade, which can be placed on the East and West balconies at home. Too much sunlight can cause burns to the leaves.
2. In terms of water content, dryland lotus prefers to be wet. The soil feels wet but does not accumulate water.
3. In spring and autumn, dried bean cake water is recommended to be used once a month. The ratio of bean cake water to water can be 1:20. Stop fertilizing when the Eclipta blooms, and stop fertilizing when it's hot in summer.
1. The seedlings of Eclipta begin to be pruned, and it is necessary to top and promote the development of lateral branches from an early age.
2. When the plant grows to 7-8 leaves, the heart can be removed. After planting, the heart can be removed 1-3 times, and the flower bud can grow out, and then the heart can be removed.
3. As an adult, Eclipta grows faster, you can prune the messy branches. You can also support a flower stand for Eclipta, wrap the stems and leaves around the flower stand, and do a little topping and coring. After trimming, water the basin properly to keep the soil moist.
The temperature above 30 ℃ or below 10 ℃ is not easy to bloom, because Eclipta is divided into spring sowing and autumn sowing, and the temperature of flowering is different at different sowing time. There are two reasons why Eclipta does not bloom. One is that the temperature is too high, the other is that the temperature is too low.
If the temperature is too low to bloom, we can raise the temperature, take it into a heated room or cover it with insulation film. Then use huaduoduo No. 2 to urge flowers.
Another reason may be that the temperature is too high. It's easy not to bloom in summer when the temperature is too high. At this time, timely put Eclipta in a cool place to avoid strong sunlight.
