The French perfume flower is native to the southern United States to Central America and is the state flower of South Carolina. It is loved by people because of its light and flourishing small yellow flowers with the fragrance of jasmine. The perfume flower is suitable for growing in a warm and humid environment, so it not only needs to be placed in a place with sufficient light but also should be watered on time to keep the soil moist. Moreover, the perfume flower has high requirements for the amount of fertilizer during different growth periods and should be fertilized as needed to ensure sufficient nutrient supply. In addition, as it contains a certain amount of alkaloid toxins, it must not be ingested during maintenance to avoid life-threatening. Next, let's take a detailed look at how to cultivate French perfume flowers in terms of growing conditions, fertilizer selection, and precautions.
1. Planting Conditions
The perfume flower loves sunshine and is suitable for growing in warm, humid, and fertile conditions. Therefore, choosing loose and fertile soil with good breathability, such as decomposed leaf soil or peat soil, is more suitable. The perfume flower is not cold-resistant and requires some sunlight, so it should not be placed in a cool place for a long time. Of course, in the summer, it should not be exposed to the sun to avoid burns. During the growing period, the watering should be thorough, trying to keep it dry and wet; in winter, control the water to ensure that the soil is dry and wet.
2. Fertilizer Selection
For seedlings, the ratio of nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium fertilizer should be 30:10:10, with the medium maintained at 0.8 to 1.0. In the medium and large seedling stages, the ratio of nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium should be kept balanced at 20:20:20 to ensure the most balanced nutrition during growth and avoid other accidents. The medium should be maintained at 1.5 to 1.8. During the flowering period, the fertilizer ratio should be changed to 15:20:25, with the medium also maintained at 1.5 to 1.8. In areas with moist soil, the supplementation of calcium and magnesium ions should be noted. To make the flowers more vibrant and fragrant during the flowering period, it is also necessary to supplement sugars and amino acids.
3. Precautions
When cultivating perfume flowers, it is important to prevent and control pests and diseases, especially the damage caused by mites and aphids. In summer and autumn, it is necessary to take control measures against caterpillar larvae. Of course, when cultivating perfume flowers, attention should also be paid to personal safety because the whole plant of the perfume flower contains a certain amount of alkaloid toxins, with the flowers and tender leaves being the most toxic. The sap secreted by the plant often causes skin allergies in people. In addition, be sure not to ingest it, as ingestion may cause symptoms such as constant abdominal pain and intestinal adhesions, posing a certain risk to life.
