How to Grow Baby's Breath

I. Fertilizer and Water Management

1. Watering

Baby's breath is drought-tolerant. Right after transplanting or at the very beginning of growth, it has a high demand for water, so water it promptly. During the flowering period it should also be given the large amount of water it needs; during the other growth cycles you can water less. Remember never to keep it overwatered for a long time, to prevent it from becoming waterlogged.

2. Fertilizing

For fertilizing baby's breath, nutrient solution or farmyard manure is mainly used. If you are growing it in the countryside, you can apply farmyard manure. Do not apply too much fertilizer; a fertilizing cycle of 10 days is best. At the early seedling stage you can apply some nitrogen fertilizer nutrient solution to promote growth, but during the flowering period be sure to remember not to apply nitrogen fertilizer. For the rest, depending on the actual situation, a small amount of nutrient solution or farmyard manure is fine.

II. Temperature and Light

Baby's breath loves sunlight and needs sufficient sunlight to produce more flowers and be pleasing to the eye. During the day it is best to keep it between 20~35 degrees; at night, at normal room temperature, it can tolerate a low-temperature environment of 10~15 degrees. If the temperature is too high or too low, flowering will be abnormal and it will not achieve the baby's breath effect.

III. Pruning Branches and Leaves

According to your own preferences, cut off the dead branches, or cut off the branches that are not growing well; baby's breath will automatically grow more new branches, and you can complete your own masterpiece according to your own wishes.

IV. Planting Methods

It is best to use the cutting method, which can bloom in the same year. Flowers planted from seeds need many years to grow into a decent-looking form.
