Actually, I like growing flowers. I like to decorate our balcony and living room with some green plants at home. Even if I can't grow flowers, I can keep a pot. It is sorrel, and many friends call it purple clover, purple clover. Actually, the name doesn't matter. The key is that it is too easy to raise, and it is easy to raise a pot.
And although it is a kind of clover and sorrel, its face value is actually relatively high. The color of its leaves is really beautiful. It is different from other oxalis. Other oxalis can bloom for a few months at most and can bloom all year round. Other oxalis needs to be dug up and collected after flowering, and then preserved.
Oxalis purpurea can stay in the flowerpot directly in winter, but in the next spring, it will grow a lot of small purple leaves, like copper grass, from the first one or two to the last, more and more, crowded with flowerpots.
Its flowers are lovely, too, and the color is pale pink. Although the flowers are small, they are also beautiful and small, and they bloom almost all year round. So how to maintain potted oxalis?
Planting method of purple clover
1. This is a bulbous plant with small bulbs. These bulbs are planted in spring and autumn. We can put them in flowerpots and soil to make the soil more fertile and loose, so that it can germinate faster and easier. Generally speaking, it is more suitable to plant them in spring because the temperature is very suitable for their growth.
Generally, around April, the seeds are buried. As long as the temperature is not too low, they will germinate in ten days and start to grow small leaves. It's really beautiful and amazing to see MengMeng's little purple leaves grow out of the soil.
2, the soil must be loose, fertile, breathable, drainage, so that its seed balls are not easy to rot in the pot soil, even if too much water is poured, it is not easy to accumulate water, and the seed balls grow in the soil, not only with leaves and flowers, but also with white radish roots and many seed balls. If we only put two or three seed balls in the flowerpot in the first year,
In the second year, you can grow flowerpots and more bulbs. The next spring can be divided into potted plants. In fact, it's really easy to raise and not afraid of the sun. Summer can be placed in a sunny place, without shading, just occasionally watering.
3. Oxalis purpurea is basically not harmed by the sun and is not afraid of drought. Sometimes it doesn't matter if you water it late or less. Only in the rainy season, if planted in the yard, pay attention to drainage. In fact, it doesn't matter if the sorrel planted in the flowerpot is wet. As long as you pay attention to the drain hole at the bottom of the flowerpot, there will be no water accumulation.
Change the pot soil for it in spring, or add some fertile soil, and add some organic fertilizer to the flowerpot. Potted soil is rich and deep, which will grow faster and produce more leaves. The flowerpot is full of purple leaves, purple butterflies and lavender flowers. Whether it is raised on a balcony, terrace or in a small garden, it is unique and beautiful.
