Grow this flower in early autumn, and it will bloom after the New Year, and it is especially beautiful
The weather is gradually starting to turn cool. I wonder if any of you have grown a new pot of flowers in this suitable temperature? Some friends choose to grow a flower that can bloom in autumn, so even though late autumn is a bit cold, seeing your flower still blooming makes your heart feel warm. Others want to grow flowers whose blooming season falls in spring, so that after getting through the cold winter they can bloom, which also counts as sweetness after bitterness.
If you do not have a suitable choice yet, Huahua recommends a flower for you today, which is perfect for blooming in early spring. This flower is the calla lily.
As its name suggests, the calla lily's flower looks like a "horse's hoof", and with its pale color, it appears understated and fresh. Without further ado, let Huahua quickly tell everyone how to grow calla lilies!
Soil selection
In addition to good looseness and good air permeability, the calla lily also requires the soil to be slightly acidic, and this kind of soil can let the calla lily grow better. When preparing soil for the calla lily at home, we can choose to mix leaf mold, garden soil and fine sand, with a ratio of about 6:3:1. Before putting the soil into the pot, it is best to sun-expose and disinfect the soil before planting the calla lily.
Scientific watering
Almost most plants are especially afraid of "waterlogging". We know some plants are drought-tolerant and some are cold-tolerant, but no plant can tolerate "waterlogging". So we should be careful not to water the calla lily too much. In spring and autumn, water once every 3-4 days; in summer, when the temperature is hot, water once every two days. In winter, carefully observe the moisture of the potting soil and water according to the specific situation. Generally speaking, watering about once a week is enough.
Suitable light
Calla lilies do not need too much light. On ordinary days, place the calla lily where sunlight is scattered, and ensure about 3-5 hours of light every day. In winter, the time can be slightly extended. In summer, do not choose to sun the calla lily at noon, because then the calla lily is very easy to scorch. If you do not want the calla lily to be harmed, please do not do this~
Proper fertilization
Calla lilies in the growth period greatly need nutrients, so remember to fertilize the calla lily scientifically. About every 10 days, give the calla lily a application of thin, fully decomposed fertilizer water. It should be noted that when watering the calla lily with fertilizer water, do not pour the fertilizer water onto the roots of the calla lily, as this will cause the roots of the calla lily to burn. Try to water along the edge of the calla lily pot.
The above is the basic overview of calla lily cultivation. I hope this article is helpful to everyone. In addition, if you grow calla lilies at home, do not place calla lilies in places with smoke, such as smoking areas, or places with kitchen fumes.
Wishing everyone can grow the calla lilies they like.
