For friends who are obsessed with light purple, don't miss raising a pot of "lilac", because its flower color is softly purple and can raise the style of your interior decoration to a higher level. In terms of flower shape, the purple of the corolla gradually changes, the petals are delicate and small, and the whole plant is plump and luxuriant, as if emitting endless vitality.
The daily maintenance of lilac is relatively simple. It can grow healthily with just proper water and sunlight. Specifically, in terms of light, it likes sufficient sunlight. Especially in the growing season from April to May, try to ensure that it can receive at least 6 hours of direct sunlight. Therefore, it is recommended to place it on the balcony, windowsill or in the corner of the living room. These locations can not only ensure that lilac gets enough sunlight.
In terms of water, it likes moisture and is relatively drought-tolerant. During the growing period, when watering, choose to water when the soil is dry to a certain extent and water thoroughly. Avoid having stagnant water at the bottom of the pot. In hot summer or dry autumn, it is recommended to spray water on the leaves every day to cool down and maintain moisture. In winter, reduce the watering frequency to avoid root rot. In addition, in terms of soil requirements, lilac prefers well-drained soil. You can choose a soil with a pH value between 6.0 and 7.0. In order to better maintain the soil condition, you can regularly use a machine to check the humidity and avoid stagnant water.
To grow plants well, fertilization is essential. It is recommended to apply slow-release fertilizers before the new buds sprout in spring, which can help the plant grow healthily and prolong the flowering period. However, be careful to avoid using high-nitrogen fertilizers during the growing season and stop fertilizing in winter.
Finally, regarding the pruning aspect that most people ignore, in fact, pruning the plant once a year can not only give them an eye-catching shape but also ensure the ventilation and light transmission of the whole pot of plants. Generally, the pruning time of lilac is divided into two periods. One is before sprouting in spring. The pruning target is some weak and thin branches and over-dense branches. The other is to prune the withered flowers and leaves after the flowers fade. Please note that the above information is for reference only. Specific maintenance measures still need to be adjusted according to local climate conditions and the actual situation of the plant.
