Culture method of Corydalis

Light and temperature

Corydalis is a light-loving plant, which needs plenty of light in its growth process. If you cultivate Corydalis in a sunny place, it will blossom brightly. But when the summer sun is strong, we should also pay attention to shade in order to keep the leaves green. But can not be too shady, there will be futile situation.

Corydalis likes high temperature environment and can withstand high temperature, but not cold. In winter, the temperature is lower than 12 degrees should be put into indoor maintenance, the overwintering temperature had better be kept above 15 degrees, avoid frost, so as not to cause the death of Corydalis plants.

Soil

Xia Pansy likes the soil with good drainage and requires the soil to be fertile and moist.

Water and fertilizer management

Summer pansy like the humid environment, the growing period should be diligent watering, but watering should not be too much, just keep the basin soil moist. If the basin soil is dry, it can be watered through. Summer watering should avoid the high temperature at noon, keep the soil moist, and spray water frequently to increase air humidity. Winter watering should also follow the principle of dry and thorough watering.

Corydalis needs to apply organic fertilizer as base fertilizer before cultivation. However, the demand for fertilizer of Corydalis is not great, so you can apply chemical fertilizer or organic fertilizer for 2 or 3 times during the growing period. As long as the growth of Corydalis has sufficient nutrients, it can grow vigorously and blossom brightly.

Matters needing attention in the Culture of Corydalis

Reproduction method

The main propagation methods of Corydalis are sowing propagation and cutting propagation.

Other considerations

The heart should be plucked frequently during the whole growth process of Corydalis. Picking the heart can promote more branches and blossoms.

In the daily management of Corydalis, we should pay attention to the prevention and control of diseases and insect pests, and often observe the growth status of Corydalis, in order to find diseases and insect pests in time and treat them early.

Culture methods and matters needing attention of potted Corydalis

Corydalis is neat and compact in shape, rich in color, trumpet-shaped flowers, leaves and mint leaves are very similar, the leaf edge is serrated. Pot culture is still a good choice. How do you raise Xia Pansy? Next, Xiaoqi will introduce the breeding methods and matters needing attention of Corydalis.

II. Matters needing attention in the culture of Corydalis

Corydalis is a subtropical flower, like high temperature, heat-resistant. Flowering in summer, the requirements of the soil are not strict, to ensure its full growth of nutrients, summer watering should avoid the high temperature period at noon. It grows strongly, needs little fertilizer, and blossoms luxuriantly on sunny, moderately fertile and moist soil.

Summer and autumn is the peak growth period of Corydalis, so it can be protected and cultivated when the outdoor humidity is reduced to about 12 ℃. It is best to keep the overwintering temperature above 15 ℃, and frost can destroy it. Xia pansy likes the humid environment and soil, and must not be dry during the growing period. During the overwintering period, the topsoil can be watered thoroughly after being dry, while outdoor care providers in summer need to maintain a certain amount of moisture, water frequently, and spray water frequently to increase air humidity.

The above is the introduction of Corydalis breeding methods and matters needing attention. I hope it will be helpful for everyone to breed Corydalis. Friends who like Corydalis can try to breed some of them as home decorations.
