Poppies are a very beautiful flower, similar to poppies. Generally, we choose spring or autumn to plant them. Of course, although autumn sowing would not bear fruit that year, the Yu beauties had a lot of time to absorb nutrients and would have a winter dormancy period. When spring comes, it will begin to grow vigorously and bloom beautiful flowers. In addition, autumn sowing yuppies bloom longer.

The soil requirements for planting Yumei are not very strict, but it is more appropriate to choose sandy loam with good drainage, deep soil layer and fertility if you want it to grow well and bloom vigorously. In addition, the seeds of Yu Meiren are very small, so the soil should be leveled and thinned when sowing, and then loosened frequently. Pay attention to the row spacing when sowing, cover with plastic film after sowing, and then slowly uncover the plastic film when the poppy sprouts.

(2) Fertilization requirements

Yu Meiren usually had to fertilize once a month during their growth period, but they should not fertilize too much at one time, otherwise they would be prone to pests and diseases. Apply nitrogen once in April and phosphorus and potassium once in May to promote flowering.

Poppies are cold-tolerant but not drought-tolerant, and bloom better under sufficient light. There was a difference between the germination and growth temperatures of Yu Meiren. The germination temperature was about 15 to 20 degrees Celsius, and the growth temperature was about 5 to 25 degrees Celsius.

If it is outdoor, you only need to keep the soil moist after planting, and you don't need to water it frequently. Potted plants need to be watered once every three to five days according to their growth conditions and weather. If it is cold in winter, you should water less, and you can water more during the vigorous growth period in spring. In addition, basin soil must not have ponding, otherwise there will be rotten roots and other phenomena.
