How to Raise Nasturtium in Pot

Kale is usually propagated by sowing, preparing loose and fertile soil, sowing seeds on the soil surface, lightly covering the soil, watering thoroughly to disperse light, keeping the soil moist, and germinating seeds after a week. After germination, more sunshine, and when the plant grows 4-5 true leaves, transplant, and then gradually change the big pot with the growth of the plant, more sunshine, less watering, frequent fertilization, lower temperature, more beneficial to the growth of the plant.

1. Suitable soil

Suitable soil should be provided for nasturtium cultivation, and humus soil, garden soil, sandy soil and compost can be mixed according to the ratio of 4:4:1:1. The soil prepared in this way is relatively loose, breathable, and has sufficient nutrients, which can provide a good foundation for nasturtium to achieve pot explosion.

2. abundant sunshine

The nasturtium likes a sunny environment and cannot grow in a place without sunshine, so it should be placed in a place with good light for breeding, especially in winter to ensure full light.Summer light is too strong, need appropriate shade, can avoid strong light direct irradiation.

3. Maintain temperature

For nasturtium, it prefers warmth, and the most suitable temperature for growth is about 18-24 degrees Celsius. In order to promote growth and achieve pot explosion, the temperature should be kept within the suitable range as far as possible.In winter, we should pay attention to keeping warm and keep the temperature above 10 degrees Celsius.

4. Reasonable watering

Tropaeolum likes to be wet, but it is afraid of the waterlogged environment, so we should pay attention to reasonable watering during the growing period. In the spring and autumn growing period, we can water it every two or three days, and in the summer, we should water it every day. In the dry period, we should spray water on the leaves regularly to maintain good humidity.

5. Ensuring Nutrients

Apply sufficient bottom fertilizer before potting, apply fertilizer once a month during vigorous growth period, and select decomposed organic fertilizer.
