Summary of cultivation skills of thyme
4hw.com.cn: jiulixiang has a strong fragrance. If you keep a pot at home and bring it to the time when the flowers bloom, you can harvest the fragrance of the whole house. Many friends don't know how to maintain jiulixiang for the first time. Let's take a look at the breeding methods of jiulixiang.
1. Soil:
Jiulixiang has no special requirements for soil. It can choose fertile and loose soil. Jiulixiang needs to turn the basin and change the soil every 1 ~ 2 years.
2. Illumination:
Jiulixiang is a light loving plant. In the process of maintenance, sufficient light is required, especially before and after flowering. Sufficient light conditions can promote its pregnant buds and flowering. The growth in the semi shade is not as strong as that in the sunny place, and the fragrance of the flowers is also light. If it is too shaded, the branches are thin and soft, the leaf color is light, and there are few or no flowers.
3. Watering:
Jiulixiang is drought resistant and afraid of ponding. Watering should be dry and wet. Excessive watering can cause rotten roots. It can be watered once every 2 ~ 3 days in spring; In summer, the temperature is high and the water evaporation is large. Once a day, the plants and the surrounding area are sprayed to increase the environmental humidity and cool down. It can be watered once every 2 ~ 3 days in autumn; Water less in winter, once every 7 ~ 10 days, and keep the basin soil moist. Before bud pregnancy, it is necessary to properly water less to promote flower bud differentiation, and water normally after bud pregnancy and flowering.
4. Temperature:
Jiulixiang likes warmth and is not resistant to cold. The most suitable temperature for growth is 20 ~ 32 ℃. If the temperature is lower than 5 ℃ in winter, it may suffer from freezing injury. Therefore, when the lowest air temperature drops to about 5 ℃ in winter, move indoors for winter.
5. Fertilization:
During the growth period, apply rotten organic liquid fertilizer once a month. Do not apply nitrogen fertilizer alone, otherwise the branches and leaves will grow in vain and sterile buds. In order to promote flower bud differentiation from April to June, spray 0.2% potassium dihydrogen phosphate solution on the leaves once a month and spray the remaining drenchable roots. Because jiulixiang is native to the South and likes slightly acidic soil, it is best to apply 'alum fertilizer and water' twice a year. But do not apply fertilizer during winter dormancy. If young trees are cultivated, the fertilizer and water can be appropriately larger to promote their growth and development; Reach the height and coarseness required for modeling as soon as possible.
The above is the daily breeding method of thyme. I hope it can help you.
