After buying the wood sorrel, place it in a well-ventilated place with soft light at around 20°C for maintenance. At this time, don't water in a hurry, only water when the soil dries out. Fertilizer application can be paused because it temporarily no longer uses the nutrients in the fertilizer. Just wait until it fully adapts to the environment and begins to grow normally, then fertilize it.

1. Soil

1. Soil

When you first buy it, don’t rush to replace the soil. If the original soil is too poor, you can repot and plant it in new soil after it has adapted for a period of time. Use some well-drained, relatively breathable soil. If possible, you can spread a thin layer of fertilizer on the bottom of the pot to improve soil fertility.

2. Environment

< p>I just bought the wood sorrel and I want it to adapt to the environmental conditions at home. Place it in a well-ventilated place with a suitable temperature, such as the living room, and ensure the temperature is around 20°C. Ensuring sufficient sunlight can prevent the problem of weak plants that cannot reproduce.

3. Watering

When you first buy it, don’t water it a lot. Let it sit for a while and water it with a small amount to keep it slightly moist. During daily maintenance and breeding at home, you can water when the surface of the potting soil begins to dry out. Do not let the potting soil be too wet. Do not let too much water, as root rot will easily occur.

4. Fertilization

< p>Don't fertilize just after you buy it. Fertilize after the growth state is stable. When transplanting and repotting it, you can put some plant ash into the new pot as base fertilizer. It is best to fertilize it once every half month during the growth period to facilitate its growth and development. When the flower buds grow, apply some compound fertilizer to it to help extend the flowering period.

5. Pests and diseases

If it grows lushly, the ventilation and light transmittance of the lower part will be poor, and powdery mildew will easily occur, causing the leaves to turn yellow and rot. Spray fungicides promptly to disinfect roots, branches and leaves to prevent the occurrence of pests and diseases. You can also prune off some branches and leaves appropriately to increase light transmittance.
