Growth habit

Likes a warm, humid and sunny environment. More drought-tolerant, intolerant to water and humidity. The suitable temperature for growth is 15-30℃, and the night temperature cannot be lower than 12℃. (The temperature in winter is below 5°C, and the leaves are in rosette shape and cannot bloom. If the temperature exceeds 35°C, the flowering period is significantly shortened.)

It has strict requirements on water and it likes to be moist, but too much water is also detrimental to the growth of roots. If the water supply is insufficient, the stems and leaves will grow thinly and bloom early.

It is more sensitive to sunlight, and long-day sunlight can help stem and leaf growth and flower bud formation.

Loose, fertile and well-drained soil is required, and the pH value should be 6.5-7.0, and continuous cropping should not be avoided.

Eustoma flowers need to go through a period of low temperature, and bloom in the high temperature stage. The natural flowering period is May to July. Annual flowering can be achieved under certain facilities and cultivation techniques.

It is best to Indoor potting from September to October or January to February. The seeds are small, light-loving, and do not need to be covered with soil. The suitable temperature for germination is 22-25°C. Germination is 12-15 days after sowing. Seedlings grow very slowly after half a month after germination. It takes 120-140 days from sowing to flowering, and 150-180 days for cut flower varieties.

Cultivation Techniques

Eustoma seedlings grow slowly, and the transplanting seedlings should not be too deep. When they grow 4-5 true leaves, they are planted in a 10-15 cm pot. The potting soil is cultivated soil prepared with leaf-humped soil, garden soil and a small amount of decomposed organic fertilizer. In the early stage of planting, pay attention to keeping the soil moist. In the middle of growth, the water supply can be gradually reduced to promote the stiff flower stems. Fertilizer is applied every half month during the growth period, and fully decomposed cake fertilizer water can be used. If using mesophytes for pot planting, spray the plants 2-3 times with 0.03%-0.05% vitamin solution 20 days after planting. For varieties with strong branching, you can pick the heart to promote more branches and more flowers. High temperature and long day light can promote the differentiation of flower buds and achieve the purpose of early flowering.
