Shibazakura has no relation to cherry blossoms. Cherry blossoms are woody flowers, while this is a herbaceous flower. This herbaceous flower is non-toxic and can be seen in many places. Below is a detailed introduction on how to cultivate Shibazakura.
I. Propagation Methods
There are four propagation methods for Shibazakura: seeding, dividing, cutting, and layering. Seeding involves using seeds for propagation, usually for ground planting. Dividing involves digging up the plant and separating them to independently cultivate new potted plants. Cutting involves selecting semi-woody branches 7-10 centimeters long, cutting them and planting them in soil to grow into new plants. Layering involves selecting branches with strong growth, pressing them into the soil, and after they take root, separating them with scissors to plant them, cultivating new potted plants.
II. Maintenance Methods
1. Choosing Seedlings
When cultivating potted plants, it is generally not recommended to choose flowering seedlings or large seedlings, as these have a low survival rate. It is best to choose healthy young seedlings with good growth, which not only have a high survival rate but also grow quickly.
2. Potting Soil
Shibazakura can survive in saline-alkali soil, but it grows best in loose, breathable, and well-drained soil. You can use a mixture of 6 parts humus soil + 2 parts garden soil + 2 parts river sand, mixed evenly to make potting soil. Disinfect with carbendazim before use.
3. Potting
Disinfect the roots of the seedlings with carbendazim, place a layer of coarse sand at the bottom of the pot, then add 5-8 centimeters of potting soil, plant the seedling in the center of the pot, straighten it, and continue to fill with potting soil until the soil surface is 3-5 centimeters lower than the pot edge. Then gently lift the seedling, water thoroughly, and place it in a shaded, well-ventilated area for maintenance.
4. Post-Potting Maintenance
After the plant has adapted, maintain a temperature of 15-25 degrees Celsius, keep the potting soil slightly moist, and apply a moderate amount of fertilizer during the growing period.
