Flower enthusiasts who like climbing vines must have witnessed the beauty of trumpet creeper during its flowering period. Its flowers are brightly colored. Placing a pot at home is full of vitality. At the same time, it has the characteristics of fragrant flowers and a long flowering period, so it is very popular.
Trumpet creeper has the flower language of bravery, nobility and perseverance. It is suitable to be given to one's significant other, symbolizing loyalty to love and passionate pursuit. When purchasing at a flower shop, it is recommended to choose plants with bright leaf colors and no yellow spots. At the same time, pay attention to checking whether the branches and vines are broken or damaged. Finally, check that the roots should be free of rot or pests. If there are no problems above, it means the plant is generally healthy.
So how is the best way to take care of it after buying it? First of all, trumpet creeper likes sufficient sunlight, but at the same time is afraid of strong direct sunlight. Therefore, when placing it, look for a place with scattered light. At the same time, since the plant is a climbing vine flower, in terms of fixing branches, it is recommended to gradually lead or tie it on a pergola, wall or flower corridor. It is okay for some stems and vines to naturally droop. The principle is to not let it grow prostrate on the ground.
Then, in terms of growing soil, flower enthusiasts can choose a mixture of leaf mold soil, garden soil and sandy soil in a ratio of 3:3:4 to make cultivation soil. These are all soils suitable for trumpet creeper.
In terms of watering, trumpet creeper likes to drink water. It is recommended that the soil be kept moist all year round. However, be careful not to over-water it just because it likes water. Be careful not to leave stagnant water at the bottom of the pot to prevent root rot. Secondly, during the non-growing season (from May to August), reduce the amount of watering appropriately.
Finally, in terms of fertilization and pruning for raising flowers, during the growing period, topdress with a thin organic fertilizer every half a month. During the flowering period from May to August, it is recommended to change to phosphorus and potassium fertilizers mainly. Doing this can delay the flowering period and make the flower color more gorgeous. But all fertilization needs to be stopped in winter. When it comes to pruning, choose to prune before the new buds sprout in spring, and remove weak, diseased branches, crossed branches and inward-growing branches. Doing this can maintain the plant shape and promote growth.
Through the above meticulous maintenance measures, the healthy growth of trumpet creeper can be effectively guaranteed. At the same time, pay attention to observing the growth status of the plant and adjust the maintenance measures in time.
