Precautions

---

It is best to cultivate morning glories in early April, and choose half and half ordinary culture soil and plain sandy soil. There should be sufficient light and good ventilation at ordinary times, and water in time when the pot soil turns white. Fertilize once every half month. You should choose a nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium compound fertilizer. Do not use too much nitrogen fertilizer, and prune it in time during its growth. In addition, common pests and diseases must be prevented and treated promptly.

Cultivation methods

Soil selection

It is best to plant morning glories in pots in early April. Choose half ordinary culture soil and plain sandy soil. Potted morning glory must either be sown or dug directly from the outside. When potting the seedlings, pay attention to one plant per pot to avoid damaging the root system. The roots should be covered with a small amount of soil to reduce damage.

Water and fertilizer requirements

Morning glories are easy to grow. As long as the environment has sufficient light and good ventilation, the rest is a matter of watering. If the pot soil is properly selected, water can be applied when the surface of the pot soil turns white. As for fertilizing, it should be done once every half month. Choose a nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium compound fertilizer. Be careful not to use too much nitrogen fertilizer to prevent the stems and leaves from becoming too lush.

Prune in time

Morning glory is a vine plant with strong reproductive capacity of its branches and leaves, so it is best to set up a support after planting. Insert a bamboo pole in the middle of the flower pot, or place the flower pot on the guardrail and let it grow around it.

But this is still not enough and you need to prune it in time. When the branches and vines grow to 6 to 7 leaves, cut off the tops. This can ensure that the flowers are larger and continue to bloom, and can also prevent the morning glory from overgrowing. Fast and difficult to control.

Pest and disease control

Morning glory is susceptible to white rust. Leaves, petioles, and young stems may be affected, and light green spots will appear on the leaves. Once discovered, remove the diseased plants promptly to reduce infection. Then spray 500 times Bordeaux mixture once every 10 to 15 days to avoid infecting other plants.

Notes

Clean water

Do not use fertilizer or mud water to water the leaves, and try not to let soil get into the leaves when watering.

Pinch flowers

Flowers will bloom only when the branches and vines grow vigorously. Ideally, the first leaf of the branches and vines will produce axillary buds, and the second and third leaves will produce flower buds. When the flower buds differentiate, you can pinch off part of them to facilitate flowering.
