Temperature: like cool growth environment, lower temperature is conducive to good plant type, not high temperature resistant. Watering: usually keep the soil moist. Watering should be done thoroughly, and there should be no ponding. Light: light loving plants, but they will grow better in the shade in summer. Fertilization: the growth condition will be better when the soil is fertile, and the organic fertilizer is more suitable for its absorption.

1. Temperature: Blue mustard likes a cooler environment, and its high temperature resistance is relatively poor, and low temperature is more conducive to its good plant type, so it is generally suitable for planting in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River. In summer, keep the temperature no more than 25 ℃, or spray water mist to cool it in hot weather to avoid dehydration and wilting.

2. Watering: the soil only needs to be kept moist. There is no need to water it often. If it is watered more, it will have rotten roots. Because the plants of blue mustard have strong lateral branches, the ventilation of the roots is not smooth enough. If it is watered too much, it will rot and the branches and leaves will deteriorate.

3. Light: light loving plants need to keep enough warm light. If the light is not enough, the number of flowers will be reduced, and the flower buds will not germinate normally, which will affect its growth. However, the strong light in summer is not acceptable, and shading work is needed.

4. Fertilization: fertile soil is more conducive to growth. Before planting, sufficient base fertilizer should be applied. During the growth period, the amount and times of fertilization can be determined according to its growth conditions. However, it is recommended to apply some organic fertilizer to it. The manure of animals will make it absorb the best, and the branches and leaves will grow more green. However, when applying fertilizer, you can combine with watering to let all nutrients penetrate into the soil.

2. Cultivation techniques

1. Reproduction: sowing is the main way of reproduction. The cycle of this method is relatively short, and it can be planted in a large area. Generally, garden planting is the most suitable way. It can be sown in spring and autumn. After that, water and temperature can germinate in a short time.

2. Pruning: as a garden ornamental plant, the plant height of blue mustard is not too high. The state of free growth is the most ornamental value. If too much pruning will make the overall shape not ideal, so pruning is not recommended.

3. Problem diagnosis and treatment

1. Diseases: generally, there will be no serious diseases and insect pests, but it may cause root ulceration due to excessive watering, so pay attention to ventilation.

2. Insect damage: the occurrence of insect damage is relatively small, which may be gnawed by some insects. You can spray some pesticide on it to prevent it.

4. Other issues

1. Toxicity: no poison, beautifying the environment.
