Methods for Cultivating Duranta Repens:
1. Soil Selection
When cultivating Duranta Repens, you can choose a pot with good drainage and ventilation such as a terracotta pot, clay pot, or tile pot. The soil should be well-draining, loose and breathable, rich in humus, and fertile sandy loam. You can mix leaf mold, garden soil, river sand, and base fertilizer to prepare the growing soil. Before filling the pot with soil, cover the bottom with a layer of broken tiles to aid in drainage.
2. Light Management
Duranta Repens is a short-day plant and can grow in scattered light, half-daylight, or full sunlight conditions. However, the direct sunlight at noon in summer is too intense, and to avoid sunburn and yellowing of the leaves, you can use a shading cloth to provide shade or grow it in a place with sufficient scattered light indoors.
3. Temperature Management
The most suitable temperature for Duranta Repens is between 15 to 25°C. In summer, when the temperature is generally high, it is not conducive to plant growth, so it is necessary to spray water on the plant and its surrounding environment to cool down. In winter, when the temperature is below 10°C, the plant grows poorly, and below 5°C, it is prone to frostbite, so it needs to be grown in a warm indoor area.
4. Watering
Watering Duranta Repens should follow the "dry and wet" principle, watering when the soil is slightly dry, and stopping when the water渗透s from the bottom of the soil. Generally, water every 2 to 3 days during the growing season, water once in the morning or evening in summer, and once every 7 days in winter. However, do not overwater to avoid waterlogging in the pot, which can lead to root rot.
5. Fertilizing
Fertilizing Duranta Repens should be done in small amounts multiple times, applying thin fertilizer frequently and near the root area. Apply a dilute liquid fertilizer 1 to 2 times a month in spring, autumn, and after flowering to promote plant growth. During the bud stage, apply phosphorus and potassium fertilizers to promote flowering and improve the quality of the flowers. Do not fertilize in winter.
6. Common Diseases and Pests
Common diseases of Duranta Repens include powdery mildew, aphids, and scale insects. You should observe the condition of the plant in a timely manner, analyze the cause of the disease, and use medication scientifically.
