Today, I'd like to introduce you to a very beautiful flower, the "moonflower". Its corolla is pure white, and it gives off a fragrant smell when in bloom. In the flower market, it's commonly called "Chang'e Flying to the Moon". It gets this name because it only blooms under the moonlight. When the sun rises during the day, it withers. Therefore, its flower language implies a kind of beautiful memory, and it is deeply loved by many flower lovers. At the same time, the moonflower is very easy to cultivate. It is suitable for being placed on balconies, flower racks, etc. for home decoration, and can also be planted in your own small courtyard. Come on! Let's take a look at the precautions for maintaining the moonflower together.
In terms of maintenance, the moonflower likes full - day sunlight and is not shade - tolerant. Insufficient light will affect its blooming. It prefers to grow in a temperature range of 18℃ to 26℃. During the hottest dog days of summer, proper shading measures must be taken. For example, you can buy a sun - shading net or place it in a well - ventilated area. At this time, it can also be placed in a semi - shaded environment. As long as it is taken care of properly, it can still grow well.
When the soil becomes compact later, you can choose soft and fertile soil that the moonflower likes. The soil can be a mixture of leaf - mold soil and field soil in a 1:1 ratio, which serves as nutrient soil. In addition, during the growth period, the secret is to fertilize it every 3 to 5 days. The concentration is approximately 1:1000 times compound fertilizer. This can ensure its normal growth and development. When fertilizing, pay attention to the right amount. Don't over - emphasize applying nitrogen fertilizer, otherwise it will affect the flowering period and the ornamental effect.
Regarding daily watering, it likes a humid environment, so water it frequently. However, be careful not to leave water accumulated at the bottom of the flower pot, otherwise it is easy to damage the roots. During the flowering period, water it more to ensure the normal blooming and growth of the flowers.
In terms of propagation, the moonflower can be propagated by sowing, cuttings, and division. The best time for propagation is from March to April and from August to September each year. Because the weather is warm, and the environment is humid and fresh during these times, which is very suitable for the germination of new seeds and conducive to the rapid growth of seedlings.
