Flower details

If the potted seedlings bought are strong enough, they will be blooming in winter. Its main flowering period is from February to April. It originally grew on hillsides or grasslands. It has a high requirement for soil drainage and does not have a particularly large demand for light. Planting in homes, whether it is east-facing or south-facing windowsills and balconies, it can be maintained normally.

Primula acaulis 'Sirococco'

European primrose plants are relatively low, usually about 10 to 20 cm. Their leaves are particularly recognizable, the leaves are obovate and look wrinkled, and the native varieties are generally only white or light yellow flowers. Nowadays, the varieties that are gardening and ornamental are extremely rich in colors (the most classic is yellow flowers), with common white, yellow, red, brown, pink, purple, blue, and even traced varieties.

, soil

, you can buy seedlings planted in the European Spring Festival, or you can buy flowering potted plants directly. They will grow particularly well in slightly moist and well-drained sandy soil (soil pH 5.0~7.0). For example, choose peat soil, perlite and coarse coconut shells, mix appropriately or mix with leaf-deformed soil, coarse coconut shells and coarse sand in a ratio of 5:3:2.

When planting the soil for the European Spring Festival, you should choose some loose and breathable sandy soil. The soil should have appropriate fertility, which will make it grow better. It is best to choose peat soil rich in organic matter, mix some perlite, and mix some coconut shells appropriately to ensure good drainage and sufficient breathability.

, light

Whether it is potted or ground-planted European primrose, it is suitable for growing in semi-shady places. More than 4 to 8 hours of light will grow better every day. At high temperatures, such as temperatures above 25 degrees, it is recommended to shade appropriately, especially in places with particularly strong light.

If the weather becomes cooler and the temperature drops below 27 degrees, you can gradually give enough sunlight in the cool winter and spring seasons, and even directly maintain full sunshine.

If you buy some seedlings from the European Spring Festival, it is best to keep the temperature below 25 degrees. Their seedlings (the temperature needs to be lower than 20 degrees sowing) will have a poor heat resistance. Too high temperature will inhibit new sprouts and new leaves.

. Watering

Maintenance of potted plants, you should pay attention to watering regularly, just like most grass flowers, it especially likes moisture during the growth and flowering season, but do not let the soil continue to be moist, and the soil should not accumulate water frequently. It is best to let the potting soil dry and wet cycle quickly and keep it in a place with more sunshine. Water it in time when the soil is dry.

. After getting it, maintain

You just bought seedlings in spring, especially when they bloom, you can put them in a flower pot a little larger than it to watch. If the environment is better, you can slow down the seedlings for three or five days and then change the pot with soil.

If you find that there are dry and yellow leaves in the European Spring, you should clean them up in time and apply fertilizer frequently during the winter and spring growing season, especially in the late autumn, when the temperature drops below 20 degrees.

Maintenance of the European Primordial Spring will not be frequently infected with pests, but if raised in a semi-shade, you should pay attention to preventing snails and slugs. They like to eat the European Primordial Spring leaves. It is also necessary to prevent Red Spider , especially in confined indoor spaces, poor ventilation and dry air.

If the soil cultivated is too humid or water is often accumulated, it is easy to get infected with rot . If the leaves are often wet and the environment is too dark and humid, it is easy to cause problems such as gray mold , leaf spot , etc.
