Everyone may have studied planting flowers, but many times it is spring to buy and die in autumn, leaving a bunch of flower pots, looking at the pots and sighing! And buy again next year.
For novice flower owners, it is personally recommended to start with some woody flowers that will be easier to manage stocking, such as crape myrtle, also known as zinnia or full house. It is named because of the long flowering period and bright colors! That is, you can see the flowers, but also the stem, and the roots.
Potted crape myrtle, you can choose nutrient soil, garden soil and soil mixed with soil, so that there is both bottom fertilizer and breathable, and the soil is not compacted. It can be placed in the sun, but crape myrtle flowers are not afraid of drought and waterlogging, and the soil should be kept moist when watering. When the summer temperature is high, the crape myrtle flowers are in the flowering season, and the soil must be watered when it is half dry, and it must be watered every time, but there must be no standing water in the pot, otherwise the roots will rot.
Ziwei flowers, because there are more flowers and a longer flowering period, so there can be no lack of fertilizer, to apply sufficient base fertilizer, half a month to apply organic fertilizer water.
The pruning resistance of crape myrtles is relatively strong, and the amount of new branches is very large, so cutting off the residual flowers after flowering can extend the flowering period, and cut off some overlapping branches and cross-branches to avoid consuming nutrients.
