How to grow baby's breath (Gypsophila) in pots at home? A detailed guide to the planting method

The best time to plant baby's breath is every year in spring. Plant it in spring, and two months later, that is, summer, the baby's breath will grow flower buds, and the number of buds is very large.

In order to extend the flowering period of baby's breath, when watering, we can add a small amount of fertilizer to the flower pot. When watering, add some nutrient solution to the water, so that it can grow quickly, and the number of flowers and the flowering period will be greatly increased.

1. Pay attention to the soil: The soil needed to plant baby's breath must be loose soil, because the seedlings of baby's breath are relatively small, and the sprouted seedlings are even more fragile. Therefore, when we plant baby's breath, the soil must be loose, so that the roots of the baby's breath can also go relatively deep, which plays a better role in fixing the plant.

2. Watering: When watering the baby's breath we grow at home, we must water it in moderation. Do not water too much. This is for the small seedlings in the early stage. Too much watering easily causes waterlogging, and it is very easy for them to die. After all, the plants are really too small. When they are seedlings, we should try to water them by spraying. It is enough to ensure that the air is relatively humid. Use a spray bottle to gently spray them every morning.

Later, when the seedlings grow to 5-10cm, we then water them heavily. This will be better, and root rot and decay caused by the problem of water accumulation will not occur, and the problem of water accumulation will not affect growth.

3. Light: In the early stage, it is not recommended to place them in the sun for care. Why is that? It is still because the seedlings of baby's breath are relatively small. Once exposed to the sun, in five minutes the high temperature in summer will wilt the small seedlings, so it is not recommended to let them bask in the sun. Wait until 3-5 leaves have grown, then we let them bask in the sun.
