How does mother-in-law grow it?

Mother-in-law likes light, it is a long-sunshine plant, light should be maintained at a high level, and light should be replenished in winter and early spring. The temperature is generally maintained at a good level, and attention should be paid to covering the plants in winter. Medium fertility is fine.

When choosing the soil, the mother-in-law generally chooses the soil with good drainage.

Planting methods and points for attention of mother-in-law

1. Selection of basin soil

Potted mother-in-law, you need to choose a medium-sized flowerpot, basically a flowerpot with a diameter of about 18cm, and no longer change the pot in the growing season. Soil can choose fertile, well-drained sandy soil, mixed soil is better, can be breathable. Put soil in the basin and add some fertilizer as base fertilizer.

2. Light and temperature

Mother-in-law likes light and can tolerate semi-shade. During her growth, she needs to maintain a high level of light. Long sunshine helps the plant to blossom. If the sunshine time is short, it is easy to make the plant grow. Artificial supplementary light is needed when the sunshine time is short in winter and early spring. In terms of temperature, the suitable temperature for mother-in-law's growth is between 15 ℃ and 35 ℃. The temperature in winter is low, so we need to keep warm.

3. Watering and fertilizing

Mother-in-law does not have a high demand for water and fertilizer, but she likes to be fertile and avoids waterlogging in winter. During the slow seedling, growing and flowering stages, the soil needs to be kept moist, and if there is a shortage of water due to dry weather or other reasons, timely watering is needed. The amount of fertilizer can be medium, the peak period of growth needs to be timely topdressing to ensure the balance of various growth elements, flowering need to pay attention to apply more phosphorus and potassium fertilizer, into the 9 down jacket so that you can reduce fertilization.

4. Diseases and insect pests

Mother-in-law has fewer diseases and insect pests, but in autumn, powdery mildew sometimes occurs and needs timely prevention and control.

Secondly, pruning can control the florescence, according to the mother-in-law's growth conditions for pruning, you can control the florescence within the range you want.

How do you plant seeds?

First, prepare the environment for raising seedlings

First of all, we can prepare a wooden box in the greenhouse with moderate depth, and then put the soil needed for sowing in it. Remember that the soil is as loose as possible, and it also has a certain degree of fertility, which is best made of garden soil, rotten leaf soil, etc., then sterilize them at high temperature, and then put them in a cool place to dry.

Second, sowing seeds

We sow the prepared seeds in the wooden box, because the seed needs light to sprout, so we can cover it with a layer of vermiculite after planting, not a very thick matrix, otherwise it will be difficult to break the soil. In addition, to ensure that the matrix is properly moist, can not be exposed to strong light, to appropriate shade, and then control the temperature between 28 and 24 degrees, usually a week to half a month, they will begin to sprout.

III. Post-sowing maintenance

1. Transplant

When the seedlings grow to a certain height, we will transplant them separately. When transplanting, we should pay attention to the distance between the plants in order to promote root growth and plant development. Pay attention to take care of it after transplantation, and you can't leave it alone.

2. Temperature

After the seedlings grow out, we should make sure that the temperature is right, usually between 12 and 18 during the day and 10 to 13 degrees at night. If you are growing outdoors, you should cover the plant in time in winter to prevent frostbite.

3. Moisture

Usually pay attention to timely watering, can not let the flower soil dry.

What is a mother-in-law?

Veronica didyma Tenore (Latin name): annual to biennial herb with pubescence. There are blue, white and pink colors. Stem from basal part branched, lower creeping on the ground. Leaves triangular-orbicular or suborbicular opposite at lower part of stem, alternate distally, margin crenate. Purplish red flowers bloom in early spring, solitary in bract axils. The fruit period is from March to May.

Like light, withstand half-overcast, avoid wet and waterlogging in winter. The requirements for water and fertilizer conditions are not high, but like fertile, moist, deep soil. It began to grow in the first ten days of April, flowered from June to September, withered at the end of October, and the suitable temperature for growth was 15-25 ℃. Functional indications: cool blood and stop bleeding, regulate qi and relieve pain. For hematemesis, hernia, orchitis, leucorrhea. The main ingredients are ferulic acid, 3muro-acetyloleanolic acid, 3meme 4-dimethyl cinnamic acid, daucosterol, β-sitosterol, mannitol and so on. It is wild in all parts of China; it is distributed in temperate and subtropical regions of Europe and Asia.

Mother-in-law is actually a very common plant. As mentioned in the article, mother-in-law is generally wild in all parts of China, but it is very unrealistic for wild mother-in-law to get a very large yield. therefore, centralized planting and production is very necessary.
