Blue snowflakes are famous for their mountains, grays and purples, which are mainly distributed in Henan, Jiangsu, Shanghai, Zhejiang and other places. The cultivation of blue snowflakes should use slightly acidic soil with certain drainage capacity, and it is best to choose a mud basin with holes at the bottom for planting. Water the pot properly to keep the soil moist. Blue snowflakes have a great demand for fertilizers. Nitrogen fertilizer should be applied once every 15 days or so, and phosphorus fertilizer can be applied once or twice after flower buds germinate. Next, I will tell you about the cultivation method of potted blue snowflakes.

1. Selection of flower soil

Fertile and loose slightly acidic soil with good drainage should be selected for breeding blue snowflakes. In the process of maintenance, the humic soil and coarse sand can be fully mixed before the preparation of flower soil. Blue snowflake doesn't have high requirements for flowerpots, so choose flowerpots with holes at the bottom and a certain depth. It is recommended to use a slightly deeper soil basin or clay basin for planting, which is beneficial to the growth of plant roots.

2. Water

The water demand of blue snowflakes is not great, just keep the soil slightly moist. Water every 3 days in spring and autumn; In summer, the temperature is high and the water evaporates quickly, so the watering amount should be increased appropriately; As long as the soil is not dry in winter.

3. Illumination

Blue snowflakes like light, but they can't be exposed to the sun. When breeding in summer, it is necessary to avoid the sun in time, and the plants can be moved to a place with sufficient astigmatism for maintenance. The temperature is low in winter, so it is necessary to increase the illumination time appropriately.

4. Fertilization

Blue snowflakes have a great demand for fertilizers, and they should be fertilized every 15 days during their growth. More nitrogen fertilizer can be applied after germination, and more phosphorus and potassium fertilizer are needed in May, which is beneficial to plant flowering. In winter, the growth rate of plants slows down and fertilization needs to be stopped.

5. Cutting skills

The plant cutting of blue snowflake is usually carried out in spring or autumn. Before cutting, the cuttings of about 8-1 cm should be cut, and the branches used for cutting should not be too thin. Cut off all the leaves at the lower part of the branches used for cutting, leaving the leaves at the top.

6. Pruning

Through our introduction, I believe everyone has a deeper understanding of the cultivation methods and precautions of potted blue snowflakes.
