Preparation of fragrant snowball before transplanting

Select flowerpots with good drainage and air permeability for transplanting

The following types of basin soil can be selected: vegetable garden soil: slag = 3:1; Or garden soil: medium coarse river sand: sawdust (Ru residue) = 4:1:2; Or one of paddy soil, pond mud and rotten leaf soil

Or peat + perlite + ceramsite = 2 parts + 2 parts + 1 part; Vegetable garden soil + slag = 3 parts + 1 part; Peat + slag + ceramsite = 2 parts + 2 parts + 1 part; Sawdust + vermiculite + medium coarse river sand = 2 parts + 2 parts + 1 part

Steps of snowball transplanting

When putting the seedlings of snowball into the basin, first put 2 cm thick coarse-grained matrix or ceramsite as the filter layer at the bottom of the basin, sprinkle a layer of fully decomposed organic fertilizer as the base fertilizer, with a thickness of about 1-2 cm, and then cover it with a layer of matrix, with a thickness of about 1-2 cm

After the substrate is filled, dig the planting hole first, sprinkle a layer of organic fertilizer at the bottom of the planting hole as the base fertilizer, with a thickness of about 4-6 cm, cover it with a layer of soil and put the seedlings of fragrant snow ball, so as to separate the fertilizer from the root system and avoid root burning

After putting in the seedlings, fill the surrounding soil and cover the root system, then press the soil tightly with your hand and pour water once

Management of fragrant snowball after transplanting

Fragrant snow ball is strong and can withstand mild frost. It should be protected for overwintering outdoors. It likes sunshine and should be placed in a place where it can be exposed to sunlight

Re cut before summer and put it in a cool place for summer, then the flowers will bloom more after autumn. Generally, after flowering, the lower part of the inflorescence has been bare. The inflorescence can be cut off from the stem in combination with seed collection to regenerate new flower ears. The cut part can be dried slightly and the seeds can be shaken off for collection

Snowball has a long flowering period. When fertilizing and soaking in time, thin liquid fertilizer should be applied once every half a month. At the same time, attention should be paid to intercropping weeding and pest control

As the plant grows, the snowball should be replaced in time, gradually changed into a large basin, and finally moved to a tile basin with a diameter of 15 cm. Those who live through the winter in the sunny border should cover the grass curtain to prevent the cold in the evening, and then move to the flower bed in the warm spring
