Maintenance key: light

Under the high temperature in summer, many flower friends will feel that sunflower needs shading to avoid being burned by the hot sun. In fact, it is not. As the name suggests, sunflower is a plant that is not afraid of the sun. The more it is exposed, the better it grows. Therefore, in the process of planting sunflower, give it as much sunshine as you can

The sunshine for planting sunflower needs to be at least 6 hours. It grows well in sufficient sunshine, with a large number of flowers and large and gorgeous flowers. If there is less sunshine, it will grow slowly, grow in vain, bloom in small numbers or even not bloom

Maintenance key: watering

The appearance of sunflower is fleshy. Some flower friends will misunderstand that it doesn't like water. This idea is wrong. Sunflower is drought tolerant rather than drought loving. If it is watered as a succulent plant, its branches will be yellow, dry and have few flowers

It is drought resistant and afraid of waterlogging. If there is water for a long time, its roots and stems will rot and eventually die

If the sunflower is watered, just follow the "dry and thoroughly watered" principle

Key to maintenance: fertilization

For sunflower, fertilization is not a necessity, but if fertilized, it can promote growth and flowering. Pengpeng is a chemical fertilizer used 3-4 times a month. The fertilizer used is compound fertilizer and potassium dihydrogen phosphate, which are used in turn to promote growth and flowering

Key to conservation: soil

Sunflower claims that it can't die. It doesn't choose the soil at all. As long as it is a soil, it can survive, yellow soil, humus soil Can be planted. If you plant sunflowers, just dig soil and plant them. You don't need to specially prepare nutritious soil

Maintenance key: topping

Topping is the secret of a good sunflower. The opening of one flower and two flowers is nothing to see. If you want to see more, you have to topple. Generally, when the sunflower grows to 10cm high, pinch the top of the sunflower by about 3cm, and then many branches will grow at the place after topping. According to this method, you can get a pot of plump sunflower after topping for 3-4 times, and then it can bloom

Key to conservation: reproduction

The propagation methods of sunflower mainly include sowing and cutting. Cutting is generally used for propagation. Today, let's share the cutting methods of sunflower

Firstly, cut about 10cm of sunflower branches. Because the branches have high water content, they can be dried for half an hour to avoid decay. This is to play the role of sterilization~

Insert the dried branches into the soil for about 3cm, and 8-10 branches can be inserted into a 15cm basin

Just cutting, do not need a lot of watering, about once every three days, and once a day after half a month of rooting. Then we can carry out topping and fertilization Then you can see the beautiful sunflowers in full bloom~
