1. The growing conditions of Qilixiang
1. Soil: Qilixiang does not have high requirements for soil, and general garden soil can grow. But if you want it to grow better, it is recommended to use fertile, loose, well-drained soil.
2. Temperature: Qili likes a warm environment, and the suitable growth temperature is between 20-30 °C. Pay attention to shade and cool down when the temperature is too high in summer, and keep warm when the temperature is too low in winter.
3. Light: Qilixiang likes sunlight and needs sufficient sunlight. When growing indoors, it should be placed on a balcony or windowsill and exposed to scattered light.
Second, the planting technology of Qilixiang
1. Sowing and propagating: Seven lily can be cultivated by sowing and propagating. Sowing seeds in the spring or autumn is done by spreading the seeds on the surface of the soil and then covering it with a thin layer of soil and keeping the soil moist. After the seeds germinate, they need to be given plenty of sunlight and a suitable temperature.
2. Dividing propagation: When Qilixiang grows more ramets, it can be propagated by ramification. Dig out the old roots and plant them separately in the new soil.
3. Transplant pruning: When the seven-mile grows to a certain size, it can be transplanted. Choose the right pot and soil and transplant the sax into a new pot. At the same time, pay attention to pruning branches and leaves to keep the plant beautiful and ventilated.
3. Conservation and management of Qilixiang
1. Watering: Qilixiang likes a moist environment and needs to keep the soil moist. However, care should be taken to avoid stagnant water, which may affect root growth. In summer, when the weather is dry, you can spray the plants with water to increase the humidity of the air.
2. Fertilization: Qilixiang does not have a high demand for fertilizer, so it is enough to apply a thin liquid fertilizer once a month. However, be careful not to apply thick fertilizer to avoid fertilizer damage.
3. Pest control: Common diseases such as powdery mildew and aphid disease are salicephalus. Once signs of pests and diseases are found, measures should be taken to prevent and control them in time. Spraying treatment can be carried out with the corresponding agent, and at the same time, the maintenance management can be strengthened to enhance the disease resistance of the plant.
Fourth, the breeding method of Qilixiang
In addition to seeding propagation and rametization propagation described above, Thyme can also be propagated by cuttings propagation. Choose robust shoots in spring or autumn and cut 10-15 cm long shoots for cuttings. Insert the branches into the soil to keep the soil moist and give sufficient sunlight, and it can generally take root and survive in about half a month.
In conclusion, the cultivation techniques and propagation methods of Qilixiang are not complicated, as long as you pay attention to the growing conditions, maintenance management and choose the right propagation method, you can easily grow and propagate this beautiful plant at home. I believe you will be able to cultivate a lush and fragrant seven-mile fragrance that will add beauty and warmth to your home environment.
