How cold-resistant is the Eustoma grandiflorum?
You may not be aware of the cold resistance of Eustoma grandiflorum and the related knowledge of planting methods and steps for green plants. Next, the editor of the website will introduce this to the netizens.
Eustoma grandiflorum is not easy to grow well, but once you understand its habits, the difficulty will be halved.
Eustoma grandiflorum flowers are diverse and resemble roses, so they are often called "thornless roses". Eustoma grandiflorum is used as a decorative item in flower shops and is not cheap, with one stem costing about 10 yuan. If you grow it yourself, the price will be much lower. Recently, many people have said that once Eustoma grandiflorum is planted, it can bloom the following year. However, due to the unique cultivation methods of Eustoma grandiflorum compared to other flowers, it can be difficult to grow. In fact, there is nothing difficult about it. If you have some basic knowledge, you can easily master Eustoma grandiflorum.
1. Temperature
Eustoma grandiflorum prefers warm places and is also cold-resistant. The usual cultivation temperature needs to be maintained between 15 to 25°. In winter, when the temperature drops below 0°, protective measures must be taken. If Eustoma grandiflorum is frostbitten in winter, it will germinate later than other flowers in spring. In severe cases, it may not bloom. In spring, when the weather is good during the day, Eustoma grandiflorum should be moved outside to grow, and at night, it should be moved inside due to the drop in temperature.
2. Light
Sunbathing is an essential part of growing flowers. Good sunlight will result in more blooms. Eustoma grandiflorum also loves sunny places. Long hours of sunlight will make Eustoma grandiflorum grow faster and promote the growth of branches and leaves. Try to expose it to more than 10 hours of sunlight a day, which is also beneficial for Eustoma grandiflorum to bloom more.
3. Watering
Eustoma grandiflorum does not like overly moist soil. Too much water can cause the roots to rot. When watering Eustoma grandiflorum, if you are unsure whether to water, you can follow the principle of not watering when it is not dry. You can also prepare a wooden chopstick, insert it into the soil, and if there is obvious moisture on the chopstick after pulling it out, wait a few more days before watering. Too much watering can not only cause root rot but also delay the flowering period or even cause the plant to wither and die.
4. Soil, Fertilizer
Eustoma grandiflorum has no high requirements for soil, as long as it is fertile and loose. The pot should be chosen with good drainage, otherwise it is prone to waterlogging. You can mix some rice husks and wood chips into the soil before planting to make it looser and less prone to waterlogging. Fertilization is not required during regular cultivation, but it is necessary to supplement nutrients during the growth peak and flowering periods. You can also add some bone meal to the bottom of the pot as a base fertilizer when planting Eustoma grandiflorum, which will make the soil more fertile and there is no need to worry about insufficient nutrients.
Blooming Eustoma grandiflorum can also be placed in a pot and grown indoors, and it can bloom for several days with high ornamental value. That's why it can be sold for 10 yuan per stem. The flowers you grow yourself will be more fragrant and give you a sense of pride when they bloom. So what are you waiting for? If you like it, start growing it as soon as possible.
