This kind of plant often grows in places of 1000-3000 meters, where the temperature is cool all the year round. When transplanting for garden planting, these conditions should also be met. Especially in summer, we should pay attention to cooling. It is most appropriate to keep the temperature at 15-20 ℃. The temperature of flowering season can be increased properly, keeping at 20 - 25 ℃.
This kind of plant likes a more acidic environment, but the soil in the north is generally alkaline, so before planting, we should use some mature fertilizer rich in acid to treat the land. The root system of this plant is tendril like, so there are higher requirements for fertilizer concentration and water quality, especially for fertilization, which should be applied less and more, and appropriate in time. In spring, phosphate fertilizer can be used once a month to promote the growth of branches, leaves and flower buds. After that, nitrogen and phosphorus fertilizer can be used monthly. When it comes to dormancy in winter or slow growth in summer, it should be reduced to prevent rotten roots. Because this kind of plant likes relatively moist environment, so should spray water more in the north.
By plucking the top buds, the plant will flourish and blossom faster. If there are too many and complicated flowers, you can also cut off part of the flower buds, which can make the flowers bigger and brighter in the current year, and also conducive to the growth and flowering of the next year. Pruning is often carried out in spring or autumn after flowering, cutting dead, slanting and sick notes, avoiding the consumption of extra nutrients, and making the whole plant blossom better
This kind of plant can control the flowering time by freezing the flower buds in autumn and heating them when appropriate. If you want to make this plant bloom earlier, you can put it indoors at 20-25 ℃ and spray some water at the right time, so that it will bloom earlier after a period of time. On the contrary, if you want to delay flowering, let it be in a low temperature state, with the temperature controlled at 2-4 ℃, and water when the pot is dry.
