Extended data:

The management of surviving plants is extensive, and Lagerstroemia indica is cold-resistant, but it is necessary to do a good job of cold protection and heat preservation at seedling stage, and the adult plants over three years do not need heat preservation.

Lagerstroemia indica is drought-tolerant and afraid of waterlogging. Water it once a year before germination in spring and after defoliation in autumn. If it is not too dry at ordinary times, there is no need to water it. Generally, water 1 ~ 3 times in spring drought, and drain well in rainy season to prevent water from rotting roots.

Autumn is not suitable for watering. Fertilization can be applied after defoliation in winter and before germination in spring. It is best to apply human excrement or sesame paste residue, which can make the plants grow vigorously and the flowers are big and colorful in the coming year. In order to make Osmunda bloom, pruning should be carried out during dormancy.
