If you want to grow Princess Margaret in your own garden, then you need to pay attention to the following:
1.Choose the right location. Princess Margaret prefers sunny, well-ventilated, fertile soil and well-drained environments. You can choose a location facing south or west in spring or autumn, dig a pit about 40 cm deep and 50 cm wide, put some organic fertilizer and humus, and then plant the seedlings in the pit, build the soil and water it thoroughly.
2.Maintain proper watering. Princess Margaret doesn't like overly wet or dry soil, so water it according to the weather and soil conditions. Generally, watering once a week is fine, but during periods of high temperatures or droughts, it is possible to increase the frequency of watering. Avoid wetting leaves and flowers when watering to prevent disease.
3.Apply a reasonable fertilizer. Princess Margaret is a fertiliser plant, so fertilize regularly to keep it growing and flowering. You can apply a compound fertilizer once in the spring when you start growing, and then once a month in the summer. Reduce the number of fertilization applications in the autumn to promote its dormancy.
4.Prune withered flowers and branches. Princess Margaret is a continuous flowering season, so it is important to cut the withered flowers in time to promote the formation of new flowers. You can also prune it in the spring or autumn to remove diseased or crossed branches and keep them in good shape and ventilation.
5.Control pests and diseases. Although Princess Margaret is more resistant to pests and diseases, it is also important to observe whether there are any abnormalities in her leaves and flowers. If fungal diseases such as powdery mildew, scab, rust and other fungal diseases are found, they can be sprayed with Bordeaux liquid or other fungicides. If pests such as aphids, red spiders, mites, etc., can be sprayed with dish soap or other insecticides.
