How to raise mosquito repellent grass to raise it well?

Summer is a very special season. There are not only hot summers here, but also all kinds of mosquitoes, especially when people wear cool clothes. Mosquitoes have become our biggest enemy. At this time, a pot of mosquito repellent grass can make our home decorated in full of green, full of fragrance, and can drive away mosquitoes and solve half the troubles in summer. Today we will talk about the maintenance skills of mosquito repellent.

The first point: the choice of basin soil

Mosquito repellent has strong vitality and has no other requirements for basin soil, but it is particularly important to prevent water accumulation. Therefore, there is only one principle for the allocation of pot soil for mosquito repellent grass, that is, sand should be used. Of course, it is best to keep the soil loose, breathable and permeable, take into account the fertility of the soil, and promote its growth and better condition. Therefore, Bian Xiao suggested that river sand should be used as the main material or some perlite should be added to the pot soil to ensure good water permeability.

The second point: water.

Watering is a very important process in any flower cultivation, and it varies greatly according to different habits of flowers and plants, watering methods, watering frequencies and even watering positions. Mosquito repellent belongs to plants that are afraid of stagnant water. While ensuring the water permeability of the soil, water the mosquito repellent according to the principle of alternating dry and wet, and remember not to water it too often.

The third point: lighting.

Mosquito repellent belongs to light-loving plants, so as long as the temperature is not too high, it can be placed in a place with mild sunshine for a long time. Bian Xiao also reminds everyone here that although mosquito repellent prefers sunshine, it is also afraid of strong light, which may easily lead to yellowing and wilting of mosquito repellent.

The fourth point: temperature

The optimum growth temperature of mosquito repellent is. 8 degrees to 28 degrees, when it exceeds 30 degrees, it will have a serious impact on the growth of mosquito repellent. At this time, it is necessary to shade and heat the mosquito repellent, preferably in a ventilated place.

The fifth point: fertilization.

Mosquito repellent has strong vitality and low requirements for fertilizer. The life span of a normal mosquito repellent is generally eight years or even longer, so we can actually use a pot of mosquito repellent for seven or eight years. It is best to change the basin once a year to increase the soil. At this time, the mosquito repellent can be fertilized once, preferably in February or March in early spring.

It is actually quite easy to achieve the above five points and make the mosquito repellent grow vigorously. Mosquito repellent emits a faint lemon fragrance, which is also the source of its mosquito repellent effect. In the maintenance of mosquito repellent, special attention should be paid to watering, which is the minefield that is most likely to lead to the death of mosquito repellent roots.

Finally, when changing pots halfway, Bian Xiao has some suggestions. When changing pots, you must trim the mosquito repellent, leave 3 to 4 lateral teeth on each branch, and remove the old roots from the roots, so that the mosquito repellent can grow better and prolong its life in the coming year.

Do the above five points and two suggestions added by Bian Xiao below, so that your mosquito repellent will grow vigorously, produce white flowers, keep a pot for eight years, and bid farewell to small mosquitoes completely in summer.
