Today, Xiao Mang is going to introduce baby's breath to you. Although a single baby's breath flower may seem unremarkable, a bunch of them can definitely catch your eye. Hundreds of delicate, flawless white flowers gathered loosely together resemble the twinkling stars in the night sky. With its long blooming period and easy cultivation, baby's breath has gained popularity among more and more people.
Baby's breath is a very resilient plant that can grow almost anywhere, with a blooming period of over 300 days. In Western weddings, it is always the star, indispensable for the bride's bouquet and the groom's boutonniere, looking particularly beautiful.
Baby's breath, also known as double petal statice, comes in 3-5 colors, usually white. Due to its small flower shape and fluffy, three-dimensional appearance, when hundreds of baby's breath flowers gather together, they look like stars in the sky, making it one of the most popular cut flowers today, and not cheap either.
Caring for potted baby's breath:
Potted baby's breath prefers well-drained soil, slightly alkaline sandy loam being ideal, and dislikes waterlogging and heat.
Baby's breath is a long-day plant, with a suitable growth temperature of 15-25°C. Its blooming period is mainly from May to July. If it can be exposed to over 16 hours of sunlight every day, it can bloom for over 300 days.
Baby's breath grows rapidly and wildly, so pinching the top is very important. When the seedlings have grown 7-8 pairs of leaves one month after planting, pinching the top can promote earlier blooming.
