Breeding method of June snow (Gypsophila paniculata)

June snow is also called full sky star, white horse bone, broken leaf holly and so on. It gets its name because it blossoms in June, the color is pure white, it is very beautiful, and the leaves are emerald green with Phnom Penh, highly ornamental. It is distributed in Jiangsu, Anhui, Jiangxi, Guangdong, Sichuan, Yunnan and other places, and is also cultivated in Japan and Vietnam. There are four varieties of June snow: shady wood, Phnom Penh June snow, double June snow, double shady wood. So, what is the breeding method of June snow?

I. soil selection

June snow does not have high requirements for soil, so it is more suitable to be cultivated in slightly acidic soil with sufficient nutrients and good drainage. If the June snow is planted in the pot, it can be mixed with 4 parts of garden soil, 4 parts of rotten leaf soil and 2 parts of sandy soil. at the same time, a certain amount of cake fertilizer can be added to provide more nutrients for plant growth.

Second, lighting

June snow is easy to breed, has strong adaptability, does not require high light, and can survive under sufficient or gloomy conditions. However, it should be noted that it varies with the seasons. The temperature is lower and the sunshine time is short in winter, so try to put June snow on the balcony and other places with plenty of light. If the temperature rises in summer and the sun is strong, the snow in June should be placed in a semi-shade. Spring and autumn depend on the weather. It is worth noting that we should pay attention to keeping warm in winter to prevent frostbite.

Third, temperature

June snow is a tropical and subtropical plant, which likes a warm environment and has weak cold resistance in winter. it needs to be cultured in a greenhouse in winter and the room temperature is higher than 0 degrees Celsius. If you want June snow to keep growing in winter, you need to keep the room temperature above 5 degrees.

Fourth, watering

June snow has strong adaptability, like wetting and drought resistance. Watering also needs to vary from season to season. Spring can be watered every day, but each time to control the amount, to keep the soil moist, to avoid rotting roots caused by stagnant water. The summer temperature is high and evaporates quickly, and it can be watered once in the morning and evening to keep the soil moist and supply water to the plant. In autumn and winter, the weather turns cool and the plant grows slowly, so it is necessary to reduce the watering frequency and water twice a week to keep the soil slightly wet.

5. Fertilization

June snow is easy to breed, resistant to barren, and does not have high requirements for soil fertility, but because the June snowflake period is concentrated in one month, if there is a lack of fertilizer, the flowers will bloom small and less. in order to ensure flowering, cake fertilizer can be applied once in spring and summer, if it is potted snow in June, only once cake fertilizer is needed in winter.

The above is a brief introduction to the method of snow farming in June. Do you know all about it? June snowflakes are small and beautiful, with high ornamental value and economic value. Buy a pot and plant it if you like.
