Raise it in summer, the hotter the sun, the more explosive the pot, do not regret it!

The key to maintenance: lighting

Under the high temperature in summer, many flower lovers will feel that sunflowers need shade to avoid being burned by the hot sun. In fact, sunflowers are not. Sunflowers are plants that are not afraid of the sun, and the more they are exposed to the sun, the better they grow. So in the process of planting sunflowers, give it as much sunshine as you can.

The sunshine for planting sunflowers should be at least 6 hours, grow well under the condition of plenty of sunshine, and have a large number of flowers, large and gorgeous flowers. If there is little sunlight, there will be slow growth, overgrowth, little or no flowering.

Key to maintenance: watering

The appearance of sunflower is fleshy, and some flower friends will misunderstand that it doesn't like water. This idea is wrong. Sunflowers are drought-tolerant rather than drought-loving. If they are watered as succulent plants, the branches will turn yellow, dry and bloom sparsely.

It is resistant to drought and fear of waterlogging, and if it accumulates water for a long time, its roots and stems will rot and eventually lead to death.

If the sunflowers are watered, just follow the "dry and thoroughly watered" approach.

The key to conservation: fertilization

Fertilization is not a necessity for sunflowers, but if fertilized, it can promote growth and flowering. Pengpeng is a chemical fertilizer used 3-4 times a month, using compound fertilizer and potassium dihydrogen phosphate alternately to promote growth and flowering.

Key to conservation: soil

Sunflower claims to be immortal, for soil choice is completely regardless of soil, as long as it is a soil can survive, yellow loam, humus soil. Can be planted. If you plant sunflowers, just dig up the soil and plant it. You don't need to mix it with nutritious soil.

The key to maintenance: topping

Topping is the secret of a good sunflower. The blooming of one or two flowers is not interesting. If you want to see more, you have to go to the top. Generally speaking, when the sunflower grows to 10cm height, the top of the sunflower will be pinched to 3cm or so, and then a lot of branches will grow in the place after topping. According to this method, you can get a plump sunflower pot after topping 3-4 times, and then it can blossom.

The key to conservation: reproduction

The main ways of propagation of sunflowers are sowing and cutting, in which cutting is generally used to propagate. Today, let's share the cutting methods of sunflowers.

First of all, cut off the sunflower branches about 10cm, because the water content of the branches is large, in order to avoid the rot of the branches, you can dry for half an hour, this is to play the role of sterilization.

The dried branches will be inserted into the soil about 3cm, 15cm basin can be inserted into 8-10 branches.

Just cuttage, watering does not need a lot, about three days watering, wait for half a month to take root, you can do it once a day. Then top fertilization can be carried out. Then you can see the beautiful sunflowers in full bloom.
