When to pinch the tip of the morning glory
You may not know when to pinch the tip of the morning glory and the related topics of detailed morning glory correct maintenance methods for flower cultivation. Next, the site editor will introduce it to the netizens.
The morning glory should be pinched in the seedling stage. Morning glory grows very fast, and it is necessary to start pinching the top when it grows to 10 cm high in the seedling stage. Pinching the top new shoot can promote the germination of lateral branches. After pinching, keep the soil moist and fertilize. When the lateral branches grow, you can pinch for the second time to promote more lateral branches of the green morning glory. Now that you understand the timing and method of pinching morning glory, let's also learn about the maintenance methods of morning glory.
1. Potting Soil
Morning glory grows quickly. When the diameter of the plant is much larger than the diameter of the pot, it is necessary to repot the morning glory. The pot can be a clay pot or a tile pot with good drainage and ventilation. Mix 3 parts of vegetable garden soil and 1 part of stove ash to make a culture soil. Cover the bottom of the pot with a layer of broken tiles before potting to facilitate drainage. Before repotting, expose the culture soil to the sun for 1 to 3 days for disinfection.
2. Light
Morning glory likes light. In winter and spring, the indoor light is weak, and it needs to be put out in the warm noon to receive sunlight regularly to prevent the plant from becoming leggy and the leaves from turning yellow due to lack of light. In summer and autumn, when the sun is strong, it can be placed in a place with sufficient scattered light indoors to prevent strong light from burning the plant and causing wilt and yellow leaves.
3. Temperature
Morning glory prefers a warm environment and is not cold-resistant. In summer, when the temperature is high, it is often necessary to spray water on the plant and the surrounding environment to cool down. In winter, when the temperature is low, place the plant in a warm indoor environment with a certain distance from the heating equipment to prevent the plant from being frozen by low temperature or burned by the radiator.
4. Water
Watering morning glory should follow the principle of "watering when dry and moist when wet". Water when the top layer of soil is slightly dry and stop when the water渗透ates from the bottom of the pot. Keep the soil moist and pour out any excess water from the pot when watering too much to prevent waterlogging and root rot.
5. Fertilization
Fertilizing morning glory should be done in small amounts multiple times, applying thin fertilizer frequently, and applying it near the root soil. Avoid over-fertilization and excessive concentration to prevent plant damage and damage to the root tissue structure. Apply 1 to 2 times of fertilizer during the growing period and before flowering. If the fertilizer is too concentrated or excessive, rinse the soil with water to dilute the fertilizer.
The above is a comprehensive introduction to when to pinch the tip of the morning glory and the detailed correct maintenance methods of morning glory. I hope it brings some knowledge of green plants to green plant enthusiasts.
