Precautions for growing Vinca vinifera

Periwinkle is a plant with high ornamental value, so what is its cultivation method? What precautions should be taken during the cultivation of periwinkle vines?

Cultivation methods of Catharanthus roseus

Light

Catharanthus roseus is suitable for growing in a semi-shady environment and does not require much light. During normal maintenance, the flower pot should be placed in a semi-shady place. If there is enough scattered light, it will grow quickly and the flowers will be brightly colored. Vinca can tolerate full sun. When the sun is strong in summer, direct sunlight should be avoided, but too dark a place is actually not conducive to the growth of periwinkle.

Temperature

Periwinkle is heat and cold tolerant. The normal growth temperature range is between 0 and 35 degrees. If the temperature is too low, the growth of the plant will basically stop, and the leaves may even freeze to death, but the leaves of the vinca will still be emerald green. If the summer temperature is higher than 35 degrees, it is necessary to cool down the periwinkle to ensure a safe summer.

Soil

The soil requirement of Vinca Vinca is air permeability and good drainage. Potting soil can be made by mixing garden soil, leaf mold soil and furnace slag. When potting, 3-4 plants can be planted in one pot.

Watering

Periwinkle should change according to changes in temperature. During the growth period, adequate water should be provided. When the temperature is high, water more to cool down, pay attention to drainage during the rainy season, and reduce watering when blooming.

Fertilization

Fertilize once every half month during the growth period of Catharanthus vinifera, and add phosphate fertilizer and potassium fertilizer 2-3 times.

Pruning

Pruning the vinca vines when they are too long can make the branches grow, making the plant beautiful and plump, and more ornamental.

Precautions for cultivating periwinkle vines

Propagation

Periwinkle is mostly propagated by sowing, cutting and dividing.

Yellow leaves

If the vinca vine has insufficient light or the soil does not meet the growth requirements of the vinca vine, the plant will grow poorly and the leaves will turn yellow or even fall off.

Insect pests

Fusarium wilt, canker and leaf spot diseases often occur in vinca vines. Pay attention to prevention to ensure healthy growth of vinca vines.
