Abelmoschus manihot likes sunlight, so it can be cultivated in places where sunlight can shine directly, such as balconies. However, it should be noted that under extreme light conditions, it is necessary to shade the hollyhock in summer.

3. Temperature

25℃~30℃ is the most suitable temperature for the growth and development of hollyhock. Although hollyhock is a cold-tolerant plant, its flowering will be affected when the ambient temperature is lower than 17℃. So try to create a comfortable temperature environment for it.

Step 4: Moisture

You can follow the principle of watering several times to keep the soil moist as much as possible, but you must control the amount to avoid water accumulation, so as not to affect the growth and development of plants. When the hollyhock is in the growth period, the watering times can be increased to promote its growth and development.

fertilize the soil or land

The hollyhock in seedling stage is suitable for watering with liquid fertilizer, and nitrogen fertilizer is the best, and it is enough to apply it once or twice in growth period. When buds grow on plants, liquid phosphorus and potassium fertilizer can be used instead, once or twice, not more or less.

prune

In spring, hollyhock can be picked properly, mainly by trunk operation. You can also cut off weak branches and leaves that are not growing well to make them grow better.

Second, matters needing attention

1. hollyhock is vulnerable to red spider, so we should pay attention to the growth state of the plant in time. If there are pests, they should be treated in time and treated with drugs if necessary.

2. In order to make the plant short and suitable for viewing, root cutting can be carried out. The more times, the shorter the plant height.

3. Regularly loosen soil and weed to promote its growth.
