How to care for蜡梅

Today's life tips introduce how to care for蜡梅 and the cultivation methods of蜡梅, some very good tips, it is recommended to collect them!

Appropriate temperature: Keep the temperature between 20~30℃, with 25℃ being the best. In winter, the temperature should not be lower than 5℃.

Adequate lighting: Allow the plant to receive sufficient light, shade during the hot summer noon, and expose to the sun more in spring and autumn.

Water control: Generally water every 2-3 days, making sure to soak the soil thoroughly, avoid waterlogging, and keep the soil slightly dry in winter.

Reasonable fertilization: The soil should have sufficient base fertilizer, and top-dress every 15-20 days during the growing season, avoiding excessive application of nitrogen fertilizer.

I. Appropriate temperature

During the cultivation of蜡梅, the temperature should be kept within a suitable range. It prefers to grow in a warm environment, and low temperatures are not conducive to its growth. The ideal temperature is between 20~30℃, and its growth rate is faster at 25℃. Since it is not very cold-resistant, the temperature should be kept above 5℃ during the winter, and it should be avoided to be directly exposed to cold winds. In the summer, avoid continuous high temperatures and try to keep the temperature below 30℃.

II. Adequate lighting

Wax梅花 cannot grow without sunlight. During the maintenance period, it should be placed in a well-lit position to receive adequate sunlight, which can promote its growth and bud differentiation. The sunlight is very strong at noon in the summer, so it is recommended to do a good job of shading to avoid long-term exposure to strong light affecting the plant's growth. Generally, in spring and autumn, it can be placed in the sun more often, avoiding keeping it in a dark environment for a long time, as lack of light will affect the plant's growth.

III. Water control

When caring for蜡梅, it is important to control the frequency of watering to avoid overwatering. Generally, the watering frequency can be controlled at every 2-3 days, making sure to thoroughly soak the soil when watering, and avoid pouring a lot of water. If water accumulates in the soil, its roots will rot, which will directly hinder its growth. During the cultivation period, keeping the soil slightly moist is sufficient. In winter, its growth rate slows down, and its water demand also decreases, so the soil can be kept slightly dry.

IV. Reasonable fertilization

Proper fertilization is also important during its growing period. Not only should there be sufficient base fertilizer in the soil, but also reasonable top-dressing during the peak growing season, applying a thin liquid fertilizer every 15-20 days, and applying fertilizer frequently with thin applications. Before flowering, it is appropriate to supplement with phosphorus and potassium fertilizers, and you can spray the plant with potassium dihydrogen phosphate. Avoid applying excessive nitrogen fertilizer, or the plant may grow wildly and not bloom.
