Understand the characteristics of mosquito repellent, then we can better raise mosquito repellent!
First of all, choose soil, which can be woodland soil, peat soil or humus soil. No matter what kind of soil you choose, you should add some foam particles to increase the porosity and permeability of the soil. It is best to expose the surface soil of mosquito repellent grass so as to observe the wet and dry conditions of the soil and water it properly.
Followed by light, mosquito repellent belongs to light-avoiding plants and is also very resistant to sunlight. Although it can be directly illuminated in spring, autumn and winter, it needs to be avoided in the high temperature period in summer, and the strong sunlight at noon in summer will burn the leaves.
Third, fertilization, although the mosquito repellent is very barren, but in order to make the mosquito repellent grow better, it can be fertilized once a season, and it can be applied sparingly in spring, summer and autumn. Organic fertilizer is the best fertilization!
Finally, watering management, mosquito repellent is drought-resistant and afraid of flooding, so dry watering can be seen in maintenance. Watering can be combined with liquid fertilizer. After watering, turn over the soil after a little drying to prevent the soil from caking and hardening.
The propagation mode of mosquito repellent grass is generally cuttage, which is usually chosen in spring, and it is easy to survive when it just sprouts.
Mosquito repellent belongs to herbaceous plants and does not need pruning, but in order to prolong its life, it can cut off the aging branches at the lower part and shorten them at the upper part.
