The requirement of whale flower to soil is very strict, and the quality of whale flower has a great influence on its growth. Specifically, there are three requirements: nutrition, air permeability and drainage. If three requirements are to be met at the same time, mixed soil is required. Therefore, it can be made up of sapropel, perlite, sawdust, etc.
Whale flowers need more water in their growing period, but they should not accumulate water. In addition to watering, spray water often. Therefore, keep the soil slightly moist when growing vigorously, and often spray water. In summer and winter is an exception, high temperature in summer and low temperature in winter need to control water, the soil is a little dry better
It is also a growing period when the demand for fertilizer is large, but not too many times, half a month or 20 days to fertilize once. Can use all kinds of liquid fertilizer, spring and summer can use nitrogen and phosphorus fertilizer, autumn can use potassium fertilizer
The whale flower likes to be warm. It's best at 18-22 degrees. Its cold resistance is not good, so in winter to keep warm, the best in about 15 degrees, not less than 10 degrees. Of course, the temperature is too high in summer, not more than 30 degrees, pay attention to ventilation.
It likes to scatter light mildly. It's best to put it in the place with astigmatism, such as the windowsill and balcony with good lighting. It should be noted that strong light must be avoided, especially in summer. In other seasons, strong light also needs to be shaded at noon.
