How to deal with Platycodon grandiflorum after flowering

Platycodon grandiflorum is a kind of flower plant, which not only has high ornamental value, but also has a lot of efficacy. It is liked by many people, so the planting area of Platycodon grandiflorum is still relatively large in our country. When planting Platycodon grandiflorum, management is very important. Especially after flowering, what should be done with Platycodon grandiflorum after flowering? The following editor will give you a brief introduction, let's have a look!

1. Pruning in time

Platycodon grandiflorum needs to consume a lot of nutrients when it blossoms. Therefore, in order to ensure the nutrition of Platycodon grandiflorum during flowering, some residual flowers, old leaves and yellow leaves should be cut off in time. Concentrate nutrition on healthy flowers, in addition, cut off some branches that grow too dense, grow too long, and plant diseases and insect pests. The growth value of these branches is relatively small, but also consume a lot of nutrients. And after cutting it, it can also improve the plant permeability and further enhance the growth ability of Platycodon grandiflorum.

2. Temperature control

Platycodon grandiflorum has a high requirement for temperature, especially at flowering stage, it is very sensitive to temperature changes. After Platycodon grandiflorum blossoms, the temperature should be controlled at about 16-22 degrees. The suitable temperature can increase the flowering rate of Platycodon grandiflorum and delay the flowering period. Therefore, we should do a good job of cooling in summer because the temperature is relatively high. By the same token, when it is low in winter, it is necessary to do a good job of cold prevention and heat preservation. If the temperature is too low, then Platycodon grandiflorum may be frozen and unable to grow normally.

3. Rational watering

After Platycodon grandiflorum blossoms, we should do a good job of watering. Reasonable watering can ensure the flower quantity of Platycodon grandiflorum. The soil should be dry and wet as the principle, if the soil water content is not enough to be relatively dry. Then it is necessary to water the soil in time to keep the soil in a more humid state. But also pay attention to control the amount of water, watering should not be too much. If too much watering leads to stagnant water in the soil, the roots of Platycodon grandiflorum will rot. Thus affect the root growth and absorption capacity, but also pay attention to control the water temperature, especially in winter, the water temperature should be close to the soil temperature.

4. Appropriate fertilization

As I just said, Platycodon grandiflorum needs to consume a lot of nutrients when it blossoms. Therefore, in the flowering stage of Platycodon grandiflorum, we should also pay attention to fertilization to provide adequate nutrition for the flowering of Platycodon grandiflorum. During the growing season of Platycodon grandiflorum, thin liquid fertilizer is applied once a month to ensure adequate nutrition. In winter, in order to allow Platycodon grandiflorum to survive the winter normally, a mature farm manure can be applied before overwintering. It is very beneficial to the growth of Platycodon grandiflorum to control the amount of fertilizer application and avoid fertilizer damage caused by excessive fertilization.

The above is a brief introduction to how to deal with Platycodon grandiflorum after flowering. That's all for today's introduction. I hope it can be helpful to everyone.
