The legend of baby's breath
In Greece, there were two very close sisters. They lived happily together every day, with no secrets between them. Until one day, a young man came to this small mountain village, gravely wounded, and collapsed by the roadside. The younger of the two sisters saved the young man. In his unconsciousness, the young man only remembered a pair of gentle eyes watching over him, hoping he could live on bravely. The younger sister asked the older sister to look after the young man, and then went to fetch a doctor herself.
During this time, the young man woke up and mistakenly thought that it was her older sister who had saved him. That night, the older sister said to the younger sister: "I have fallen in love with that young man." The younger sister just watched the two of them become a couple and live happily together every day. Seeing her older sister's happy appearance, the younger sister hid her love for the young man again and again.
Until one day, Ares tracked down the young man and came to this small mountain village. He threatened the lives of the whole village to force the young man to appear. Her older sister was afraid and begged the young man to leave the mountain village. Just at the moment the young man agreed to the older sister's request, the younger sister knocked the young man unconscious, and then disguised herself as the young man. She was killed by Ares.
Fresh blood stained the entire mountain village red, and yet the girl's soul kept hovering in the night sky. With her last strength she erased the young man's memories and prayed that her older sister would give the young man happiness. After the flower goddess learned of this, she merged her drifting soul into the patch of grass where the young man had fallen unconscious. And so, that patch of grass bloomed with mottled white petals, which is baby's breath.
How to grow baby's breath
1. Using shoot-tip culture, the propagation coefficient is high, the root growth is good, and the seedling quality is good. Using tissue-cultured seedlings to produce cut flowers, the flower stems are straight, the color is pure, and the cut flower quality is high.
2. Before planting, the soil should be deeply plowed 40-50 cm, with sufficient organic fertilizer applied, and some phosphorus and potassium fertilizer appropriately added. For acidic or neutral soil, some lime should be appropriately applied to adjust the soil's pH. Make raised beds, with the bed surface 30-40 cm high.
3. Water management must be strictly controlled; if too wet, growth becomes weak, and water accumulation will cause root rot and death. When the plant grows to 30 cm, watering should be controlled, especially during the bud stage, which requires even more care, and during the flowering period it should also be kept drier.
That is all for the related introduction to the flower language of baby's breath. I believe that after reading this, everyone has gained some understanding of baby's breath. I hope the related knowledge introduced today can be of some help to everyone.
