Management methods of potted Lagerstroemia indica Introduction of management methods of potted Lagerstroemia indica

2. Pot soil should be poured in time in spring and winter, once in the morning and once in the evening in summer and autumn. When it is dry and hot, the watering frequency can be appropriately increased every day, and it can be watered with river water, well water, rain water and tap water stored for 2-3 days.

3. Regular fertilization Potted Lagerstroemia indica is easy to over-fertilize, which easily leads to excessive growth of branches and leaves. If the lack of fertilizer leads to thin branches and yellow leaves, the whole plant will grow weakly, with few or no flowers. Therefore, it is suggested that farmers should apply fertilizer regularly, apply more fertilizer in spring and summer peak season, apply less fertilizer after autumn, and do not need to apply fertilizer in winter when entering dormancy period.

4, reasonable pruning Lagerstroemia indica is resistant to pruning, with strong branching and large growth of new shoots. Therefore, it is suggested that cutting off residual flowers after flowering can prolong the flowering period, and cutting off long branches, overlapping branches, cross branches, radiation branches and diseased branches at any time to avoid consuming nutrients.

5. Replace potted Lagerstroemia indica in time. Change the basin soil every 2-3 years, and mix 5 parts of loose mountain soil, 3 parts of pastoral soil and 2 parts of fine river sand to make culture soil. When changing pots, organic fertilizers such as bone meal and bean cake powder can be used as the base fertilizer, but the fertilizer can't directly contact with the root system, so as not to hurt the root system and affect the plant growth.
