The planting method of Dichondra repens

Dichondra repens is a kind of herbaceous plant with stolons, and its stems and branches are relatively slender, the leaves are mostly round, and the leaf color is also very green, so it is very suitable for planting as a garden green plant. At the same time, it is used as a hanging pot plant with higher ornamental value. So, how to plant Dichondra repens? Today, the editor will introduce the planting method of hanging Dichondra.

Dichondra repens can be bred by sowing and cutting. when the seedlings grow to a height suitable for transplanting, they should be planted in the flowerpot in time. In order to improve the survival rate of transplanting, we usually need to transplant with soil. And after transplantation, as long as the growth environment is suitable, potted seedlings can quickly return to the normal growth state. After planting potted seedlings, the next thing we need to do is maintenance and management.

As Dichondra prefers warm and humid growth environment, and also has a certain ability to endure shade, so it can be placed in indoor maintenance. However, even if it is placed in indoor management, it should provide conditions with smooth ventilation and adequate light as far as possible. If it is placed outdoors for maintenance, shading measures should be taken in time under strong summer light to avoid sunburn.

At the same time, the water absorption capacity of Dichondra repens is relatively weak because the roots of Dichondra are relatively fine and usually do not have a relatively strong root system. But this kind of plant often grows rapidly, especially as a hanging potted plant, it must need sufficient water and nutrients to support the huge body. Therefore, it is very important to replenish water and fertilizer in time.

Usually need to keep the basin soil moist, so watering should be timely, the original because the plant will lose leaves in the case of lack of water, so that the plant shape appears sparse, seriously reducing the ornamental value. Especially in summer, we should increase watering and spray the necessary water to keep moisture. Even in winter, if it is maintenance in the heating room, you also need to do a good job of replenishing water and moisturizing.

Moreover, plants need to replenish a lot of nutrients to maintain rapid growth. Dichondra is more fond of fertilizer, especially nitrogen fertilizer, after all, nitrogen fertilizer can effectively promote plant germination of branches and leaves, can be in the usual watering combined with fertilization, more nitrogen fertilizer and water. Of course, you can also keep applying thin cake fertilizer every half a month, but when you apply liquid fertilizer, you should splash the fertilizer on the leaves, otherwise the water will dry and leave ugly traces, and it will also lead to yellow leaves, withered leaves, fallen leaves and other phenomena.

As the Dichondra repens will maintain exuberant growth in a suitable environment and sufficient water, and its metabolism will accelerate during the growth process, and some withered branches and yellow leaves will often appear, so we should cut off these withered branches and yellow leaves in time to avoid wasting nutrients and water. At the same time, we also need to properly prune the branches and leaves that affect the beautiful plant type, so as to promote the germination of new branches and leaves and make the plant type more beautiful.

After entering winter, although Dichondra also has a certain ability of cold resistance, if it is put in outdoor maintenance and management, if the temperature changes too much before and after Frosts Descent, it is still recommended to move it to indoor maintenance to avoid being affected by frostbite. Moving it indoors is also a guarantee for a smooth and safe winter.
