Potting soil selection

For Agapanthus cultivation, 3 parts of garden soil, 1 part each of rice bran ash and compost should be mixed.

Water and Fertilizer Management

Watering: Watering should be based on moisture. When it is dry, it should be wet. In summer, you should pay special attention to ensure sufficient water, and spray the plants and surrounding environment frequently. Water humidifies and cools. Pay attention to controlling watering in winter, just keep the pot soil slightly moist, and don't water too much.

Fertilization: One day before fertilization, watering should be suspended once to allow the pot soil to collect water; after fertilization, the leaves should be sprayed with clean water. It is better to use manure, cake fertilizer and chemical compound fertilizer alternately. Once every 10-15 days. For ramified seedlings, sufficient fertilizer and water should be given to make them bloom as early as possible. After flowering, remove the remaining flowers and apply fertilizer in a timely manner.

Temperature and light requirements

Temperature: Likes warmth and has a certain degree of cold resistance. In the south, the open field can be overwintered with a little covering. In the north, it needs to be placed at least 100℃ in winter. Overwinter in a greenhouse at 5°C.

Lighting: For maintenance, it should be placed in a semi-shady and humid place. From June to September, be careful not to expose it to direct sunlight to avoid burning the leaves.

Propagation methods

Agapanthus can be propagated by sowing seeds and dividing plants. But it takes a long, long time for sown seedlings to bloom. How long does it take? About 5 years... So flower lovers should think carefully when propagating agapanthus.

Pruning and pruning

Agapanthus in the wild grows well on its own, but domesticated agapanthus still needs to pay attention to its shape.

It is necessary to cut off the weak leaves at the right time and remove the yellowed dead leaves, leaving the leaves with good growth, which will not only be beautiful in appearance, but also allow the flowers to bloom in abundance.

Common diseases

There are two main common diseases of agapanthus: leaf spot and red spot. Leaf spot can be controlled by spraying 1000 times of 70% thiophanate methyl wettable powder. When erythema occurs, spray 600 times chlorothalonil solution once, which is very effective.
