It needs to have plenty of sunlight
First, sufficient light moon season is sun-loving plants, its growth position should be selected sunny place. Especially photosynthesis exuberant with exuberant morning hours of sunlight especially to be. Although some varieties can grow healthily in half sunlight, but still try to put in a sunny place. To maintain moonflowers, receive at least six hours of light per day.
When more than one plant is placed together, care needs to be taken to position them so that they don’t interfere with each other’s light, and to try to avoid branches and leaves blocking each other’s sunlight. Put the shortest pots and plants in the front and the taller ones in the back, according to the direction of the sunlight coming through.
And most importantly, you need to reserve space according to the size of the plant. Generally 30m² for small seedlings, 50cm² for medium seedlings and 1m² for large seedlings. For plants covering large areas of fencing or arches a larger space needs to be reserved.
Have a ventilated environment
A well-ventilated environment allows water to evaporate from the foliage of the moonflower, and the process of evaporation fuels the absorption of nutrients by the roots, causing the delicate branches and leaves at the top to become thicker and thicker. On the contrary, in a poorly ventilated environment, the absorption of nutrients by the moonflower roots will slow down, and the top of the plant will grow poorly.
In addition, poorly ventilated environments make moonflowers susceptible to diseases. Especially during the rainy season and the long rains in the fall, the moonflower is prone to black spot disease and powdery mildew, resulting in poor growth and even death. Therefore, it is important to prune the leaves well on weekdays to keep the plant in a well-ventilated environment, and to administer medicine regularly for prevention.
In addition, to choose breathable, well-drained pots. Some florists use global resin pots, two-color pots, etc. to plant moonflower, the result is not good. And green mountain pots and clay tile pots are the best choices for growing moonflower.
Loose soil and proper watering
Raise flowers first to raise its roots, the roots of plants need to breathe ah, so have a loose soil.
And watering should be controlled, too much water will prevent the roots from breathing and lead to root rot.
So be sure to control the amount of watering, wait until the soil is about to dry out in the watering, and the water should be watered through.
Don’t fertilize randomly
Plants need fertilizer, but they don’t need much of it, and if your moonflower seedlings are small, they don’t need fertilizer at all.
If the moonflower leaves are drying out and falling off because of watering and fertilizing, then you should follow me and I will show you how to save it.
