How to grow Eustoma? A detailed guide to the latest care tips

Eustoma (lisianthus) comes in a rich range of flower colors, with abundant blooms and a long flowering period. Plant a small seedling in early spring, and it can start blooming by May, continuing until the end of November, wave after wave, blooming continuously and looking very beautiful. So do you know what to pay attention to when growing Eustoma?

1. Use drip irrigation for watering: Eustoma has very strict water requirements. Too much water will damage the roots, while too little will cause weak stem and leaf growth. Therefore, it is best to use drip irrigation as the watering method, which is most beneficial for the growth of Eustoma.

2. Disinfect the potting soil: If growing Eustoma in pots, the substrate used needs to be treated with high-temperature steam or methyl bromide for disinfection. The soil pH is best maintained at 6.5-7.0.

3. Avoid high temperature and high humidity: After the flower buds form, it is necessary to avoid a high-temperature and high-humidity environment, otherwise it is very easy to cause fungal diseases.

4. Control the amount of fertilizer: Before planting Eustoma, add manure, bone meal, etc. to the soil as a base fertilizer. Because Eustoma has a relatively high demand for fertilizer, it is necessary to topdress in time during the growth process.
