1、 Can I keep it indoors
Daphne odora can be cultured indoors. It is non-toxic and harmless, and has a certain aroma. In addition, it does not like strong light, so indoor breeding is also very suitable for its growth. However, due to its strong smell, you may feel uncomfortable if you are not used to it. If this happens, it is not suitable to keep it indoors.
2、 How to maintain
1. Soil: Daphne odora is suitable for growing in loose, fertile and well drained acidic soil. Alkaline soil cannot be used, which will be unfavorable to its growth. Peat soil can be added into garden soil as culture soil, and a small amount of base fertilizer can be added to provide nutrients.
2. Light: Daphne odora likes to scatter light. Direct strong light is easy to burn. Indoor breeding should be placed in a semi shade, and it cannot be exposed to the hot sun. But put it in the sun in winter, which can not only supplement the light, but also increase the temperature.
3. Watering: Daphne odora is afraid of being wet. The amount of water should be controlled to prevent ponding in the basin. Generally, it is necessary to water the upper layer of the soil after drying, and spray the leaves with clean water to increase the humidity of the air.
4. Fertilization: organic fertilizer is generally used to fertilize Daphne odora. It should be fully decomposed before use, otherwise it is easy to cause fertilizer damage. Before overwintering, you can apply some manure to provide sufficient nutrients for it to survive the winter safely.
