Precautions

---

When cultivating Phlox phlox, you should have sufficient water during the growth period, water it every 1 to 2 days, and change the soil every two years in spring. Give it a growing environment with bright scattered light, and fertilize once every 1-2 months during the vigorous growth period. In addition, control watering in winter or use spray water instead of watering. Usually place it in a well-ventilated place facing south. Stop fertilizing after winter to avoid root damage.

Cultivation methods

Watering

Potted Phlox phlox prefers a moist soil and air environment. There should be sufficient water supply during the growing period and water should be watered every 1 to 2 days.

Depending on the specific situation, it should be thoroughly dry and thoroughly watered. It is okay if the soil is slightly dry, but watering should not be done too frequently to avoid water accumulation and root rot. >

Soil

Phlox phlox prefers loose, fertile, well-drained sandy loam soil. Generally, the soil is changed every two years in the spring. When changing the soil, use peat soil. One third of river sand is enough.

Light

Phlox phlox is suitable for growing in an environment with semi-light and bright scattered light. It needs bright light, but at the same time, avoid strong light exposure, especially in early summer. After the rain clears up, prevent the leaves from being burned.

Fertilization

The growth of Phlox phlox requires sufficient fertilizer.

Fertilizer should be applied once every one to two months from April to June when growth is vigorous. For home potted plants, a mixture of 0.2% urea and 0.1% potassium dihydrogen phosphate can be applied, or it can be spread on the surface of the pot soil. Or bury a small amount of multi-component slow-release compound fertilizer particles.

Notes

Different seasons have different water content

The temperature in midsummer is higher. In addition to sufficient watering, the leaves also need to be sprayed with water once a day.

In late autumn and early winter, when the temperature drops below 15°C, watering should be controlled.

In winter, you should reduce the amount of water you boil, or use spray water instead of watering. Keep the pot soil slightly moist and dry, but when spraying the leaves, pay attention to making the water temperature basically consistent with room temperature.

Timely loosening of the soil

In the growing season, it can be combined with fertilization, and the soil of the potted plants can be loosened once a month to keep the potting soil transparent and good for a long time, and to avoid root rot caused by the hardening of the potting soil. .

Place potted plants in a ventilated place

Household potted plants can usually be placed in a well-ventilated place near the south-facing entrance. In summer, they can be placed in front of a north- or east-facing window. In winter, they should be placed in a well-ventilated place. Indoor light is better.

Rational fertilization

After the Mid-Autumn Festival, stop applying nitrogen fertilizer and topdress phosphorus and potassium fertilizer 1-2 times to increase the cold resistance of the plants and enable them to survive the winter smoothly.

After winter, the plants have stopped growing, so fertilizer should be stopped to avoid damaging the roots.
