How to cultivate Agapanthus, pay more attention to this item in peacetime, in order to keep the flowers well
Agapanthus, also known as the purple gentleman orchid, belongs to the Liliaceae family and is a perennial herbaceous plant. It has glossy leaves, beautiful flower shapes, and bright colors. Agapanthus has a very high ornamental value during the flowering period. Many people want to buy a few pots to raise at the first sight of Agapanthus, but they are too eager and do not know how to raise it, which causes the Agapanthus they just bought to face the phenomenon of withering. So how should we raise Agapanthus, an indoor ornamental plant?
1. Soil
Agapanthus prefers acidic soil but also needs to be mixed with other nutritious soil. This way, it will not fail to bloom due to insufficient nutrients during the growing period. Never use soil that is too alkaline. For example, the soil in the north is more alkaline, so when planting, either treat the soil or buy some soil suitable for Agapanthus growth directly from the market.
2. Water
Watering needs to be done according to the soil, not dry, not water, the demand for water in spring is not high, try to reduce the amount of watering during normal times, do not water in rainy weather, if the weather is dry but there is still water in the pot, be sure to spray water around the Agapanthus to keep it moist. Agapanthus loves the sun very much, and the sunshine temperature in spring can meet the growth of any flower, so it is very suitable, but it should not be exposed to the sun for too long, just 6 hours of sunlight a day is enough.
3. Fertilizer
During the breeding period, apply a nutrient fertilizer every half a month until after the beginning of summer, because when the weather gets hot, Agapanthus will enter a dormant state and will not grow or grow slowly, so there is no need for too much nutrients. Stop watering a day before fertilizing, because if you water immediately, the fertilizer will flow out from the bottom of the pot along with the water and fail to retain nutrients.
4. Diseases and Pests
Also pay attention to diseases and pests before the flowering period, especially red spiders and aphids, which like to grow inside the flower buds. If not watched closely, the flowers will be eaten by them and look ugly. If you find pests, be sure to spray some insecticides. Red spot disease is the easiest disease for Agapanthus to get, and you can use metalaxyl to spray once to completely eliminate red spot disease.
5. Propagation Method
The propagation method of Agapanthus is mostly division, and the best time for division is in March when the temperature and sunlight are just right. After dividing, you need to turn over the soil in the old pot and add some nutrient soil, and you can continue to plant it inside. After planting, you also need to take care of it carefully and observe. If it has already adapted and is growing well, then you can raise it normally. No matter when it is planted, its flowering period is at the same time.
Most of the colors of Agapanthus flowers are blue and white, which have strong ornamental value when flowering. If you plant too much, you can put it in the garden to raise. It looks very beautiful with a sea of flowers, and the flowering period of Agapanthus is very long. Planting in spring can bloom in summer, and the flowering period extends to the end of autumn. There is no harm in planting more, and it can be raised both indoors and in the garden. Well, that's all for the cultivation method of Agapanthus. Let's meet again next time.
