1、 Cultivation method

The cultivation of Lingxiao flower is mostly carried out by cutting, and the specific time is in spring and summer. Cuttings should be annual, cut to a length of 10 to 15 cm, and remove the upper leaves to reduce water consumption. After treatment, insert the cuttings into the soil according to the row spacing of 15-20cm and the plant spacing of 5cm. The depth is about two-thirds of that of the cuttings. The later stage is watered and covered with plastic film in spring, so that they can take root in about 20 days. In addition, it can also be carried out by means of branching and layering

2、 Key points of management

1. Watering: it likes a relatively humid environment, and the soil cannot be dried for a long time. Therefore, it should be watered frequently in the growing season to make the soil moist. However, pay attention to control the quantity and prevent the basin soil from flooding

2. Light: it likes the sun. No matter how it is cultivated and maintained, it should be exposed to more sun. It will grow better and blossom better in an environment with sufficient light. The branches without light will grow in vain and affect flowering

3. Prune the branches in time for light transmission and better ventilation in the later spring, so as to promote the growth of thin branches in time before flowering

4. Fertilization: it likes fertilizer. After germination in spring, it should apply fertilizer regularly to supplement the required nutrients. The approximate frequency is to apply liquid fertilizer once or twice a month, and apply phosphorus and potassium fertilizer before flowering to promote flower bud differentiation
