1. Choose the right soil quality

1. Choose the right soil quality

Spiraea meadowsweet prefers fertile land, so when planting, you should choose soil that is loose and has good water permeability. This will allow its roots to get better protection and nutritional needs. In addition, you should also look for those with particularly sticky soil, and then add some fine sand or small stones to adjust the soil better. Never choose soil that is particularly sticky and contains condensed moist soil. This is very bad for the roots and will not survive easily. Sandy loam soil is the best.

2. Suitable light and temperature

< p>Spiraea maculata has very high requirements for sunlight. It must ensure sufficient sunlight and good ventilation. Generally, it grows best when the temperature is about 25°. Although it can be exposed to the ground for the winter, if the temperature is low, If it is below minus 25°, freezing damage will occur and may even lead to death, so the temperature must be controlled to meet its temperature needs.

3. Proper watering and fertilization

Before planting, be sure to have sufficient base fertilizer and sufficient moisture. Generally, it is best to use decomposed manure. When it is about to bloom, apply phosphate fertilizer and potassium fertilizer 2 to 3 times. When autumn is about to pass, apply an overwintering fertilizer. It is best to use decomposed manure with heat. In winter, you need to stop fertilizing and reduce the amount of watering.

4. Carry out appropriate shaping and pruning

< p>Spiraea must be pruned after it has grown to a certain extent. The best season is spring. In early spring, the dead branches should be cut off before they sprout.
