Ecological habits: sexual warmth, a certain degree of cold and heat resistance, hi full sunshine, semi-shade conditions under the same flowering plants are good, but the plants will be leggy, branches easy to bend. Strong and healthy, the selectivity of the soil is not strong.
Reproduction: sowing, cuttings, spring, autumn and winter are appropriate. Seed germination temperature of 20 ~ 25 °C, the seed is good light, can not be covered after sowing, keep moist, about 10 to 15 days after germination. Can also be cut into vigorous sprouts sprouting into the wet river sand or fine snake wood chips, rooting can be seedlings.
Cultivation and management: Seeds can be planted in nutrient bowls (12-13) after about 35 days of cultivation, and fertile soils or sandy loam soils are preferred for cultivated soils. The drainage needs to be good, the sunshine is sufficient, and the optimum temperature for plant growth is 15-30°C. The time from sowing to flowering depends on the temperature and light. It takes about 8 to 9 weeks under long and warm lighting, and about 14 to 16 weeks under light and cold conditions. After planting, after planting in the nursery, the seedling height can be about 10 to 15 centimeters and can be picked once. About one week or so, about 700 times nitrogen fertilizer containing nitrate nitrogen can be applied. About 20 days later, the plant will be changed to include The potassium-phosphorus-based compound fertilizer is 500 times aqueous solution and fertilized one or two times per week. Depending on the growth, the entire growing period needs to be removed 1 or 2 times. The watering must be dry before it is poured, and it is poured when it is poured. Out of garden time, the best planting after budding, long flowering and long inflorescence. After flowers are cut off, they are cut off and supplemented with fertilizers, which can promote flower buds and continue flowering. In spring and summer (temperature higher than 28 °C), the flower color is relatively light, the flowering period is short and the inflorescence is short, and the plants are easy to age. Avoid prolonged rain and humidity in high temperature periods, especially during the rainy season. After the flowering period, if strong shearing is applied, new branches can be sprouted and re-growth. The flowers have delicate fragrance and can attract bees and butterflies, which can be self-pollinated. Mature seeds must be picked in time, or they may fall easily.
