To raise mallow, you need to choose soil with good air permeability, fertile and slightly acidic soil, and there should be an appropriate amount of base fertilizer in it. The best breeding temperature is around 18 to 25 degrees, and it can be between 3 and 5 degrees in winter. Do not overwater. It is better to be dry than wet. Especially in winter, the amount of water must be controlled. Compound fertilizer can be used during the growth period of the plant, and phosphate fertilizer can be used during the flowering period. Be careful and prune it in time when it is growing vigorously.

1. Soil

1. Soil

Mallow has relatively high requirements for soil quality. It is best to choose soil with good air permeability, rich nutrients and acidic soil. Nutrient soil or leaf humus soil can be used, and sand can be added to increase air permeability, as well as some base fertilizer and so on.

2. Temperature

Mallow likes temperature, so it is best to grow it between 18 and 25 degrees. It has some cold tolerance, but not particularly well. In winter, it needs to be kept at about 3 to 5 degrees, not any lower, otherwise it will be susceptible to frost damage.

3. Light

Plants like light, and good light needs to be provided during the growth period to meet its growth requirements. However, it needs to be properly shaded in summer to block out too strong light, and it should also be placed in a brightly lit place in winter, such as by a window.

4. Watering

It does not require much water. Stagnant water will cause its roots to rot. Just keep the soil from being too dry. Normal watering follows the principle of "prefer dryness to wetness", and the amount of watering in winter should not be too much.

5. Fertilization

It has a relatively large demand for fertilizers. During the growth period, compound fertilizers are needed to provide sufficient nutrients. Fertilizer is also needed during the flowering period, and the main type is phosphate fertilizer.

6. Precautions

Mallow grows vigorously. If its branches are not pruned for a long time, their branches will grow very messy and affect the light transmittance. It should be noted that regular pruning is required, and part of the branches that are too dense should be cut off, and diseased and dry branches should also be cut off in time.
