The flower language of Hebe stricta includes missing, purity, dream, and true love, representing a pure and romantic feeling.
Many friends who have planted Hebe stricta often worry about what to do if the leaves get moldy! First, carefully observe the moldy situation. If it's only slightly moldy, it might be caused by excessive humidity or poor ventilation. At this time, we should quickly move the Hebe stricta to a well-ventilated place to allow the air to circulate freely and take away the excess moisture.
If the mold is quite serious, then cut off those leaves that are severely moldy. Don't be heartbroken; this is to give the healthy leaves a better growing space. Also, be careful to water the Hebe stricta appropriately. Don't let the soil always be wet, or mold will grow more easily. In addition, regularly spraying some preventive fungicides on the Hebe stricta can effectively prevent mold invasion.
How to plant Hebe stricta! First, prepare suitable soil. Hebe stricta likes loose, fertile, and well-drained soil. We can mix leaf mold soil, peat soil, and perlite in a certain proportion. Next, choose healthy seedlings. Select those Hebe stricta seedlings with green leaves and strong branches! When planting, leave enough growing space for the Hebe stricta. Dig a suitable hole, gently put the seedlings in, and then cover them with soil gently.
Then, it's the control of light and temperature. Hebe stricta loves plenty of sunlight, but on hot summer days, it also needs appropriate shading to avoid getting sunburned. Keeping the temperature at 15 - 25℃, it can thrive. Watering is also crucial. Keep the soil moist but not overly wet, following the principle of "water when dry, stop when wet". Fertilization cannot be sloppy! During the growing season, apply a thin compound fertilizer to it every once in a while to supplement its nutrition. Finally, don't forget to prune regularly. Cut off those redundant branches and leaves and spent flowers to keep the Hebe stricta in a beautiful posture.
Come and join the ranks of planting Hebe stricta!
