The suitable soil for bright Chinese chive is sandy soil with good drainage and rich humus. Suitable light: like warm and humid, sunny, but also resistant to half shade. Suitable humidity: the relative humidity of the air is 30% - 35%. Suitable temperature: the suitable temperature for the growth of Allium tuberosum is 16-28 ℃, which is not cold resistant, and the overwintering temperature should not be lower than 5 ℃.
How to breed leek: key points of soil culture: fertile sandy loam is the best soil for cultivation. For border planting, 3-5 bulbs should be planted in each hole, and the distance between the holes is about 15 cm. For pot planting, 5-7 bulbs should be planted in every 17 cm. After planting, attention should be paid to irrigation to keep humidity. The cultivation site should have sufficient sunshine, and it is not easy to separate the bulbs and blossom in the shade. When the plants are clumped and crowded, they must be forced to separate. It is strong, drought resistant, high temperature resistant and easy to cultivate.
Propagation method: it can be planted with ramets or bulbs all year round, but spring is the best. As long as the bulb root is dug up, 3-5 bulbs are planted in each place, and proper humidity is maintained by watering, it is very easy to survive. Pay attention not to hurt the ball root when digging. If there are too many leaves and flower stems, the upper part should be cut off and the complete bulbous root and 6-8 cm leaves should be reserved for planting. If the bulbous buds have sprouted, they can still bloom if they are fully watered after branching.
Key points of fertilization: organic fertilizer such as oil meal, compost or nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium fertilizer can be used as fertilizer. It can be applied once every 2-3 months, and the phosphorus and potassium fertilizer can be increased in proportion, which can promote bulbous hypertrophy and good flowering.
Watering points: potted leek lotus should have sufficient sunshine and fertilizer. After a batch of flowers wither, the water should be controlled for 50-60 days, and then the normal water supply should be restored. Such alternation of dryness and wetness can promote multiple flowering, 2-3 times a year.
