Cultivation methods of False Forsythia

Temperature and light

False Forsythia likes a warm growing environment and is not cold-tolerant. The suitable temperature for growth is at 18℃ to 26℃. In winter, when the temperature is lower than 5℃, it is easy to suffer from freezing damage. To survive the winter safely, it must be above 5℃.

False Forsythia likes light and is more tolerant of shade. During the growth period of False Forsythia, it should be given sufficient light to grow well. Some of the flower and leaf varieties require more exposure to sunlight to achieve bright and beautiful colors. Insufficient light will cause the color to fade and reduce the ornamental value.

Watering and fertilizing

False Forsythia likes moisture and is not drought-tolerant. Sufficient water supply must be maintained during the growth period to meet the growth needs of the plant. Be careful not to accumulate water in the basin, especially during the rainy season, pay attention to drainage. In winter, keep the pot soil dry and water sparingly.

False Forsythia consumes a lot of nutrients during the growth period, and requires a lot of nutrients for flowering and fruiting, so it needs to be fertilized frequently. During the growth period, fertilize mainly nitrogen fertilizer once every half month to promote Plant growth: Some phosphate fertilizers and potassium fertilizers need to be applied before the flowering period to promote flowering; applying phosphate fertilizers and potassium fertilizers after flowering can increase the ornamental quality of the fruits and extend the fruit viewing time.

False forsythia is relatively resistant to pruning. Regular pruning is beneficial to the ventilation and light transmission of the plants and the modification of the plant shape. When pruning, you can combine it with changing pots in spring. You should cut off some weak and diseased branches of false forsythia to promote better growth. After False Forsythia blooms, if you need to retain fruits, do not prune. If you do not need to retain fruits, you can cut off the inflorescences so that they can branch and bloom again.

Repotting

False forsythia can be repotted in spring every 1 to 2 years, and some new soil can be replaced at the same time.

Pests and diseases
