Cultivation methods for verbena:

Verbena likes sunlight and does not tolerate shade; it is relatively cold-hardy, poor in shade tolerance, and does not tolerate drought. In the north it is mostly grown as an annual herbaceous flower. It can bloom normally in hot summers, and grows and blooms profusely in sunny, loose, fertile soil.

Verbena likes a warm, humid climate and sunshine, and does not tolerate drought. It is not demanding about soil, but in loose, fertile, fairly moist neutral soil it can root at every node, growing robustly and blooming profusely. In Shanghai, in spots with a warmer microclimate, it can overwinter outdoors.

Propagation methods for verbena:

1. Seed propagation

(1) Germination

The seed germination rate is relatively low, only about 50%. Germination is very slow and uneven; at a temperature of 15-17°C, it takes 2-3 weeks before seedlings begin to emerge.

After the seeds are sown, they should be placed in a dark spot, and not only should the soil be kept moist, the air should also be kept humid.

(2) Watering

Do not water directly from above downward. Use a container such as a shallow pan, fill it with water 3-4 cm deep, then immerse the flower pot in it. Let the water enter through the drainage hole in the bottom of the pot, and take it out once the soil is moist; otherwise the germination rate will be even lower.

Sowing time is mostly in spring, and they generally bloom in July.

2. Cutting propagation

Cuttings can be taken in May-June. When the temperature is around 15°C, take cuttings.

Method:

First take slightly woody branches, cut them into 5-6 cm long sections as cuttings, and insert them into a moist sand bed. Immediately afterward, shade them; after 2-3 days they can be given a little morning and evening sunlight to promote growth. After about two weeks they can sprout new buds and take root.

When the seedlings have grown 5-6 true leaves, transplant them; when they reach 7-8 cm, plant them in their final position.
Pest and disease protection

Verbena is mainly harmed by powdery mildew and downy mildew, which can be controlled by spraying a 1000-fold dilution of 70% thiophanate-methyl wettable powder.

The insect pests of verbena include aphids and whiteflies, which can be killed by spraying a 1000-fold dilution of 2.5% derris extract emulsifiable concentrate.

What is the price of verbena?

The price range for verbena seedlings is 0.2 to 0.7 per plant, and the price is affected by the place of origin and the size of the seedlings.

That is all for the introduction to verbena's cultivation, propagation methods, and price. Hurry and grow it at home.

2. Watering: Because verbena's root system is relatively shallow, attention should be paid to watering in summer to prevent drought. During the maintenance period, too much or too little water is unfavorable to growth. With too much water, the stems become thin and spindly and the amount of flowering decreases; with too little water, the plant grows and develops poorly and may set seed early.
3. Sunlight: In spring, summer, and autumn, verbena needs to be maintained under shaded conditions. When the temperature is relatively high, if it is placed in direct sunlight, the leaves will noticeably become smaller, the internodes of the branches will shorten, the lower leaves will yellow and fall off, and growth will be very slow or it will enter a semi-dormant state.
