What are the varieties and habits of Lagerstroemia indica?

There are many varieties of Lagerstroemia indica, among which the white flower is Yin Wei, the purple flower is Cuiwei and the pink flower is Hongwei, which is suitable for potted Lagerstroemia indica, Aicuiwei, AiYin Wei, Lagerstroemia mottle and lateral Lagerstroemia indica. Potted plants should choose varieties with short plant type, early flowering, small and round leaves and soft and curved branches.

There is Lagerstroemia Zhejiang in the same flower, with lavender flowers and short flowering period, which blooms from June to July; Lagerstroemia speciosa, with large flowers, large inflorescences and reddish petals, is extremely beautiful; Ziwei, with small white flowers.

Lagerstroemia indica is native to central China. I like warm and humid climate, and have certain cold tolerance and drought tolerance. It can be cultivated in the open field in North China. But for Lagerstroemia speciosa stump, if the temperature is below-10℃, the flowerpot is not buried, which is very easy to freeze to death. 1999 In winter and spring, the temperature in Huaiyin City, Jiangsu Province was below -8℃~-6544℃. Lagerstroemia indica germinates late, usually from late April to early May. At the beginning of 2000, I bought several decades-old Yin Wei stumps, which sprouted in late May. Everyone thought it was dead. As a result, it began to germinate on July 3, and it grew very fast after germination. It blossomed and seeded again that year. So the vitality of Lagerstroemia indica is tenacious. Wei Zi likes sunshine and is not afraid of the scorching sun. The more sunshine, the better it grows and the more flowers it blooms. If the sunshine is insufficient, it will not only grow badly, but also get sick easily. The soil requirement is not strict, and it can grow well in slightly alkaline soil, but it grows well in loose fertile soil containing coarse sand or gravel. Not acid-resistant, afraid of water wet.
