Cassia, since ancient times, has been one of the traditional famous flowers in our country, known for its rich fragrance and被誉为 "the messenger of autumn". With the popularization of potted plant technology, more and more families are starting to grow potted cassia. Spring is a key period for the growth of cassia. Proper maintenance management is crucial for the flowering quality and ornamental value of cassia. This article will introduce the management methods of potted cassia in spring in detail, helping you to cultivate beautiful and fragrant cassia.

Lighting and ventilation

Spring has plenty of sunshine, which is the best period for the growth of cassia. Placing potted cassia in a place with sufficient sunlight is conducive to its photosynthesis and promotes growth. Maintaining good ventilation conditions helps the cassia leaves to breathe and reduces the occurrence of diseases and pests.

Watering and fertilizing

The watering of cassia in spring should follow the principle of "watering when dry and moistening when wet", avoiding overly moist or dry soil. During the vigorous growth period of cassia, the frequency of watering can be increased appropriately to keep the soil moist. Spring is a key period for fertilizing cassia. Compound fertilizer or organic fertilizer can be used, applying once every 10 days to promote the branching and lush growth of cassia.

Pruning and shaping

Spring is the best time for pruning cassia. Through pruning, you can remove sick and weak branches, intersecting branches, and dense branches to allow the plant to ventilate and light, which is beneficial for the growth of cassia. When pruning, attention should be paid to retaining the main branches and gradually cultivating a beautiful tree shape. Cassia can be shaped according to personal preferences, such as cliff-style, curved-style, etc.

Pest and disease control

Spring is a high-incidence period for cassia diseases and pests. Attention should be paid to prevention. It is necessary to maintain good ventilation and lighting of the plant to reduce the occurrence of diseases and pests. Regularly inspect the plant and clear pests and diseases in a timely manner. Common control methods include: spraying pesticides, pruning diseased branches, and removing weeds.

Potting and soil

Spring is the best time for potting. When potting, choose soil with good breathability and drainage, such as decomposed leaf soil and peat soil. Pay attention to pruning the roots to avoid overly long roots affecting plant growth.

Temperature and humidity

In spring, the temperature gradually warms up, but the temperature difference between day and night is relatively large. Potted cassia should be placed in a warm and well-ventilated indoor area, avoiding direct sunlight and cold air currents, and maintaining moderate indoor humidity, which is beneficial for the growth of cassia.

Spring is a key period for the growth of potted cassia. Proper maintenance management is crucial for the growth and flowering of cassia. With the above methods, it is believed that your potted cassia will surely grow robustly and bloom beautiful flowers. In the process of maintenance, it is also necessary to pay attention to industry reports, data, and third-party comments, and continuously learn new maintenance knowledge to create a healthy and beautiful growth environment for your cassia.
