In recent years, with the increasing demand for home beautification, the cultivation of Edo purple has gradually become a fashion.

Choosing a suitable planting environment

Edo purple prefers a sunny and well-ventilated environment. When choosing a planting site, it should avoid overly shady or damp places. The ideal planting site is where there is direct sunlight for 4-6 hours and good drainage.

Soil selection and preparation

Edo purple does not have high requirements for soil, but it is best to use loose and well-drained sandy soil. Before planting, the soil should be deeply turned over to increase its breathability and water retention. An appropriate amount of decomposed organic fertilizer can be applied to improve soil fertility.

Planting time and density

Edo purple is suitable for planting in spring and autumn. When planting, maintain a certain density, generally planting 20-30 plants per square meter. The planting depth should be enough to cover the seeds and should not be too deep.

Watering and fertilizing

Edo purple has a higher demand for water but not too much to avoid root rot. When watering, keep the soil moist but do not let it accumulate water. For fertilizing, use a compound fertilizer of nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium, applying it every 15 days. During the vigorous growth period, the amount of fertilizer can be appropriately increased.

Pest and disease control

Edo purple is prone to be invaded by pests such as aphids and red spiders during its growth. The prevention and control methods are as follows:

1. Regularly inspect the plants and promptly clear any pests and diseases found.

2. Use biological pesticides or low-toxic pesticides for control.

3. Maintain good ventilation for the plants to reduce the occurrence of pests and diseases.

Pruning and shaping

During the growth of Edo purple, pruning should be done in a timely manner to remove diseased, weak, and dry branches to promote plant growth. According to personal preferences, the plants can be shaped, such as pruning into round or pyramidal shapes.

Precautions

1. Avoid planting Edo purple in low-lying areas to prevent waterlogging.

2. In high temperature and humid seasons, pay attention to timely ventilation to prevent the plants from getting sick.

3. During the planting process, observe the growth of the plants and adjust the maintenance measures in a timely manner.

The cultivation of Edo purple is not complicated. By mastering the above methods, you can easily cultivate beautiful Edo purple. During the cultivation process, it is also necessary to observe the growth of the plants and adjust the maintenance measures in a timely manner.
