四季海棠 can bloom throughout the four seasons, with beautiful and stunning flowers that have high ornamental value, making it highly favored by people. When cultivating 四季海棠, it is necessary to ensure the soil is loose and fertile, maintain adequate water supply, manage fertilization properly, and provide suitable lighting. This will help 四季海棠 grow more beautifully and extend its blooming period. The following sections will provide specific introductions.
1. Soil
四季海棠 prefers slightly acidic soil with good breathability and drainage. You can use decomposed leaf soil, garden soil, and perlite as the growing medium for 四季海棠, or purchase special nutrient-rich soil for cultivating 四季海棠 at the flower market.
2. Watering
Watering should follow the principle of "water only when dry, and water thoroughly when watering." Water moderately when the soil is dry, taking care not to water directly on the leaves of 四季海棠, but rather along the edge of the pot. Additionally, avoid excessive watering, as overly wet soil can lead to root rot. In high summer temperatures, you can spray water mist on the leaves.
3. Fertilizing
四季海棠 should follow the principle of applying thin fertilizer frequently, with organic thin fertilizers being the best choice. Apply fertilizer every 15 days after planting, mainly using decomposed fertilizer water; apply fertilizer every 10-20 days during the blooming period, with more phosphorus fertilizer recommended; and apply fertilizer every 20-30 days during the growing period, using dilute fertilizer water.
4. Lighting
四季海棠 cannot tolerate direct sunlight and can be placed in a shaded area of the courtyard or on a balcony indoors for maintenance, ensuring good ventilation. In winter, it can be placed in a location indoors with sunlight, but the temperature should not be lower than 15℃.
