The Complete Guide to Growing Spiraea
Today, I will provide a detailed explanation of the complete guide to growing Spiraea, as well as some small gardening knowledge about its cultivation and management. Let's learn about it together.
1. Suitable Soil
Spiraea thrives in soil rich in trace elements with good drainage and aeration. When growing Spiraea, a mixture of decomposed leaf soil, garden soil, and sandy loam can be used to create the cultivation medium. After preparing the soil, an appropriate amount of decomposed organic fertilizer can be added to enhance the soil's fertility, allowing Spiraea to grow vigorously.
2. Light and Temperature Management
Usually, Spiraea can be placed in a well-ventilated, shady, and sunny location for maintenance, providing all-day diffused light to enable Spiraea to perform photosynthesis normally. When growing Spiraea, it is also necessary to maintain a stable ambient temperature between 20-25°C, and during winter, the temperature should be kept above 0°C to allow Spiraea to grow vigorously.
3. Water and Fertilizer Management
After planting Spiraea, it is necessary to water once to settle the roots. In daily maintenance, water should be applied every 2-3 days to keep the soil slightly moist. During the vigorous growth period of Spiraea, it is necessary to apply decomposed fertilizer cake water 3-4 times a month, and 2-3 times of phosphorus-potassium fertilizer during the flowering period to supplement nutrition.
Precautions for Growing Spiraea
Spiraea is not tolerant to strong sunlight. When the light is too intense, a layer of shading net should be set up above Spiraea to weaken the intensity of the light. Every spring, it is necessary to prune dry, dense, and weak branches, as well as old branches, to reduce nutrient consumption.
The above is the complete guide to growing Spiraea and a detailed explanation of its cultivation and management. This is for reference and suggestion only.
