Blue chrysanthemum, also known as African daisy, is a common flower plant. Blue chrysanthemum has a long flowering period, and the flowers are small and delicate, colorful and colorful, so they are deeply loved by everyone. They all like to raise one or two pots of blue chrysanthemum on the balcony or in the room. So do you know how to water and fertilize blue chrysanthemum? Let's get to know it with the editor.

How to water blue chrysanthemum (how often)

The most suitable watering time varies in different seasons, such as hot summer, which is not suitable for watering at noon when the sun is hot, generally in the morning and evening when the temperature is lower, while it is cooler and drier in spring and autumn. It is more appropriate to water at 09:00 in the morning, three o'clock in the afternoon and in the evening, while it is better to water at noon in winter.

For blue chrysanthemum, it does not like too humid environment, so it should not be watered too frequently, but do not wait until the soil growing it is completely dry. Every watering should be thoroughly watered, not only the surface soil is wet but the root soil is still dry, this does not ensure that the root absorbs enough water, and the plant will still die.

After watering the blue chrysanthemum had better be placed in a cool and ventilated place, not in direct sunlight, so as to avoid the dry growth environment caused by the rapid evaporation of water and fertilizer. In addition, when watering the flowerpot, try not to let the water touch the stem and other parts, otherwise for a long time, it will lead to stem rot, which is not conducive to its growth.

How to fertilize blue chrysanthemum

1. Base fertilizer

When it comes to basic fertilizer, let's talk about its soil first. Nutrient-rich soil will also reduce the difficulty of maintaining plants. 5% vermiculite, 10% perlite and 85% peat soil can be used, but peat soil should not be too delicate. This kind of soil preparation is very suitable for planting them. Add some fertilizer before planting to make the seedlings grow stronger.

2. Fertilization in winter

Before the arrival of the cold season, it can improve the cold resistance of plants and easily spend the winter. Fertilizing can not be carried out after this fertilization until the following spring.

3. Fertilization in spring

The first fertilization at the beginning of the year is best before the Qingming Festival, when it is given enough fertilizer to make it grow healthily in spring.

4. Daily fertilization

Although its flowering period is longer, it does not need too much fertilization, only enough nutrients in the soil before planting.

How to cut blue chrysanthemum

1. Time: the cutting of blue chrysanthemum branches should be carried out in spring, which is beneficial to its rooting and sprouting, but not in summer, which will greatly reduce the survival rate of cutting and affect reproduction.

2. Soil: blue chrysanthemum has strong adaptability to the environment and exuberant vitality. Therefore, the requirement for soil matrix is not high, generally speaking, sand, soil perlite and their mixed media can be used. Mixed sand is mainly to ensure the water permeability of basin soil and make it more convenient for branches to take root. Then a branch of the blue chrysanthemum can be cut from the mature and well-growing mother plant, and after simple treatment, it can be gently inserted into the basin soil.

3. Watering: when watering cuttings, be sure to water thoroughly, and then place the plant in a ventilated and cool place to avoid the dry environment caused by water evaporation caused by direct sunlight. You can also choose to cover the plant with plastic film or plastic bags to maintain humidity. In the later stage, after the branches of blue chrysanthemum successfully grow new buds, they can be transferred to a warmer place with plenty of light. After that, you only need to keep the basin soil wet and water the blue chrysanthemum plant regularly, but pay attention to the frequency can not make the basin stagnant water.

How to sow blue chrysanthemum

1. Sowing seeds

The method of sowing blue chrysanthemum is to stick up the seeds with a toothpick dipped in water, one at a time, and put it into the center of the hole. According to the principle of one hole at a time, after sowing, put the seedling tray into the bottom basin with water, and the water will slowly seep in.

2. Maintenance after sowing

After sowing, the blue chrysanthemum is sprayed with water, sprayed through until the soil is all wet, and then covered with plastic film. The editor suggests spraying water once a day.

To ensure that the seedlings have enough light time, you can make a small family greenhouse for the seedling plate by yourself, and cover the lid until it germinates. When the temperature is relatively high, put the greenhouse in a cooler place outside. if the temperature is relatively low, put it outside to receive sunlight during the day, and move back indoors at night to maintain a suitable temperature.

When the seedling comes out almost, the seedling plate can be removed. You can put the seedlings in a place with good ventilation and sufficient light, and do not let the soil be in a moist state for a long time, otherwise it will lead to stem withering. It is recommended to take a day or two to allow the soil to undergo a dry-wet cycle.

As we all know, flowers need to be taken good care of, although blue chrysanthemum belongs to flowers that are better farmed, but if the breeding method is wrong, it is also easy to affect the overall beauty of potted plants, so before cultivating flowers, it is necessary to understand some of its breeding skills.
