I have summarized five points for everyone to refer to.1. Understand its growth habits before maintenance, knowing both the enemy and yourself is the key to victory.Hypericum monogynum is a semi-evergreen small shrub or tree of the Hypericum family. It is a temperate tree species with weak cold resistance and is distributed from Hebei in the north to Hainan in the south in China. Hypericum monogynum prefers a sunny growing environment but can also tolerate semi-shade. It usually grows in ditches, roadsides, and thickets in the wild, showing strong adaptability and a high survival rate when planted, with relatively simple maintenance.2. Choose a reasonable sowing time for potted Hypericum monogynum.Hypericum monogynum is usually cultivated as a biennial herbaceous plant, with播种 reproduction being the main method. The main consideration for sowing is the timing of sowing, which can be either autumn or spring. Autumn sowing can result in flowering the following spring, which is suitable for the north. Early spring sowing can result in flowering in the summer and autumn, which is suitable for the south.Hypericum monogynum seeds are relatively small, and the covering soil should not be too thick when sowing. Just cover the seeds so they can't be seen. The suitable temperature for sowing should be above an average of 10 degrees Celsius. Too low temperatures will affect germination speed, and seedlings usually emerge within one week after sowing in March or April.3. Transplanting and soil preparation.Soil preparation for Hypericum monogynum is very important. Hypericum monogynum has a strong adaptability, so there are no special requirements for the soil. It mainly needs to be loose and well-draining. We can use a mixture of ordinary garden soil, decayed leaf soil, river sand, and a small amount of organic fertilizer as the soil.The timing for transplanting should not be too early or too late. The best time to transplant is when the plant height is about 10 centimeters. The number of plants to transplant can be chosen based on the size of the pot. One plant is enough for a small pot, and two plants can be transplanted into a large pot.4. Reasonable maintenance to promote growth.The regular maintenance of Hypericum monogynum mainly includes three aspects: the maintenance environment, watering, and fertilizing. It has strong adaptability and is relatively easy to care for.1. Hypericum monogynum likes sunny and semi-shady conditions, so it needs to be placed in a place with direct sunlight during regular maintenance. Poor lighting will affect its growth. In the summer, potted Hypericum monogynum needs to be properly shaded to avoid sunburn.2. Watering should follow the principle of "watering when the soil is dry," watering thoroughly each time.3. Hypericum monogynum does not require a lot of nutrients, so a small amount of fertilization is sufficient. Mainly ensure a balanced supply of nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium. Excessive application of nitrogen fertilizer can cause excessive growth and affect flowering.The above introduction on how to care for Hypericum monogynum bonsai and the specific points of maintenance are provided for netizens to reference.
