Earthworms in pots are good and bad for flowers. The advantage is that it can increase the air permeability, water permeability and fertilizer efficiency of the soil. It will not harm the root system of flowers, but also promote more loose soil, which is beneficial to plant growth. The disadvantage is that more earthworms will make the root system and soil have gaps, which will affect the growth of new roots and easily lead to poor growth. In addition, some flowers have weak roots, and earthworms should not be found in the pot soil, so they should be removed as soon as possible.

1. Sowing and cutting

When we plant margarita flowers, we either sow or cut, or buy seedlings that have already been cut. No matter which method it is, we wait until the margarita seedlings grow to 5cm high, or after the cuttings survive, they can be transplanted.

2. Transplanting and potting

a small flowerpot is prepare during transplant, nutrient soil is filled, a small handful of organic fertilizer or controlled release fertilize is mixed into that bottom of the soil, a layer of non-fertilizer soil is filled, the margarita seedlings are transplanted and planted in the small flowerpot with a soil lump, and the pot is watered thoroughly and placed in a diffused and ventilated place.

3. Trimming and topping

a week later, let Margaret bask in the sun, observe the whitening of the soil surface and water thoroughly, when the seedlings grow to 8cm high, tip off the top 2cm leaves of the plants, keep 6cm stems and leaves (about 8 leaves), and when the branches grow to 8cm long, continue to tip.

4. Thin and frequent fertilization

By topping for 3-4 times, Marguerite can grow into a ball shape. During this period, water with balanced nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium fertilizer once every half a month, and the concentration should be light. When Marguerite grows into a ball shape, stop topping, and continue to apply phosphorus and potassium fertilizer until it blossoms.

5. Care

When maintaining the margarita, in addition to shading the sun during the slow pot period, the other times should be more in the sun, carrying the weight of the pot soil feeling obviously lighter, watering thoroughly, fertilizing before and after flowering, not fertilizing when flowering, spraying once every half a month to protect the flower spirit, to prevent insect pests.
