Dear greenery lovers, are you struggling with how to take care of your beloved desmodium?Don't worry, today I will bring you a practical guide on the maintenance and watering of desmodium, so that your desmodium will thrive and your wealth will roll in!
First, understand the growth Xi of desmodium
Before conserving Desmodium, we must first understand its growth Xi. Desmodium prefers a warm, moist environment and does not require much light, but needs to avoid direct sunlight. It has a shallow root system, so be careful not to overdo it when watering it, so as not to cause stagnant water and root rot.
2. Choose the right potting soil and container
The maintenance of desmodium is inseparable from the right potting soil and containers. Choose pots with good air permeability, such as clay pots, plastic pots, etc., and the bottom of the pot should preferably have drainage holes. In terms of soil, you can choose loose, fertile, well-drained sandy soil, which is conducive to the growth of desmodium roots.
3. Master the correct watering method
Watering is a key part of desmodium conservation. Generally speaking, the watering principle of desmodium is "see dry and wet", that is, water when the surface of the potting soil is dry, and water thoroughly. Spring and autumn are the peak growth periods for desmodium, so you can increase the number of watering times to keep the potting soil moist. In the summer, when the water evaporates quickly, it is necessary to increase the frequency of watering, and at the same time, water can be sprayed on the foliage to increase the humidity of the air. In winter, you should reduce watering and keep the potting soil slightly dry.
4. Fertilization and pruning
Desmodium needs proper nutrients during its growth. You can apply thin liquid fertilizer once a month, taking care that the fertilizer concentration is not too high to avoid burning the plants. In addition, regular pruning is also an important measure to maintain the beauty of desmodium. Pruning the yellow, long branches and leaves in time can promote the germination of new branches and make the plant more lush.
5. Pest control
Although Desmodium has strong resistance to pests and diseases, it is still necessary to pay attention to pest control in the process of conservation. Once signs of pests and diseases are found, such as yellowing, wilting, spots, etc., measures should be taken in time. Some biological and physical control methods can be used, such as spraying biological pesticides, artificial pest catching, etc. At the same time, maintaining a well-ventilated environment and proper light can also help reduce the occurrence of pests and diseases.
6. Reproduction and branching
There are two main modes of propagation of desmodium: cuttings and branches. When propagating by cuttings, choose strong branches and cut them and insert them into sandy soil to keep the soil moist, and they can take root in about a month. Dividing the plant from the pot in spring or autumn is replanted by dividing the plant into several small plants. Once you have successfully bred you, you will have more Desmodium babies!
