Keep a pot of it indoors, it's pleasant, and the fragrance wafts to the next door.

There are many reasons why people grow and love flowers, in addition to the most common ornamental, edible and medicinal uses, there are also some friends who are infatuated with smell, so in the eyes of this group, the fragrance of flowers is definitely the greatest charm of a plant. In previous articles, we have introduced you to many plants that attract countless clusters of plants by virtue of their fragrance alone. And today we are going to talk about the most special one of these plants, what is it? let's move on.

What we want to introduce today is Phnom Penh Daphne, which has gradually become an online celebrity plant in recent years. It not only has the best aroma and ultra-high appearance, but also has a good meaning of auspiciousness and blessing in China's ancient books, so it keeps several plants at home and tastes its attractive fragrance. Be careful not to attract "interrogation" from the neighbors because it is too fragrant!

The cultivation of Phnom Penh Daphne is relatively simple, first of all, in the choice of soil, considering that it belongs to the variety of Daphne odora, so the requirements for soil are the same as the latter, basically the slightly acidic soil with excellent air permeability and water permeability. Here we recommend that you use garden soil, peat soil, rotten leaf soil according to the proportion of 1:1:1, and it is best to add some coarse sand, or put two broken tiles at the bottom of the flowerpot.

The habit of Phnom Penh Daphne is destined to be a sun-loving but sun-shy plant. On the one hand, it can not grow without sunlight, and on the other hand, continuous exposure under the scorching sun is likely to cause plant damage and affect beauty and health. So if the sun is relatively strong in your area at present, it is best to do some sunshade work, and it is a good choice to put it in an indoor room with excellent lighting. In the three seasons of spring, autumn and winter, potted plants can be placed in a sunny place.

Many people think that Phnom Penh Daphne should get enough water in summer, only in this way can it grow. In fact, there is no scientific reason for such a statement. The key to planting Phnom Penh Daphne in summer is not the amount of water but the control of the dosage. It is wrong to be too dry or too wet. The former may cause water shortage and wilting of plants, while the latter, especially after the occurrence of stagnant water, is very prone to waterlogging, resulting in hypoxia and necrosis of the roots, so often observe whether the soil is short of water, and if it is short of water, it can be watered again.

Phnom Penh Ruixiang likes fertilizer, but this does not mean that it needs to be supplied with a lot of fertilizer at any time. Different growth stages and seasons are the important basis for judging how much fertilizer and what fertilizer to apply. For example, in spring, because it is in the golden period of the growth of Daphne odora in Phnom Penh, in addition to the bottom fertilizer prepared in advance at the bottom of the basin, we have to add liquid fertilizer every half a month, and after the formation of flower buds in autumn, leaf fertilizer can also be applied once a week.
