Seedling raising techniques of Lagerstroemia microphylla

Lagerstroemia indica should be planted in the leeward and sunny place with deep soil layer, fertile soil and good drainage. Large seedlings should be transplanted with the ball and the branches should be trimmed properly, otherwise the survival rate will be low. Apply decomposed organic fertilizer as base fertilizer in the planting hole, water it after cutting, and water it 1 time after 3 days. Lagerstroemia indica germinates late. Under normal circumstances, the leaves will only spread from mid-April to the end of April. Because of root injury, the germination of new plants will be delayed. So don't give up management just because you have no job.

After survival, the plant management is extensive, Lagerstroemia indica is strong and easy to cultivate, and the requirements for soil are not high, but it grows best when planted in deep and fertile sandy loam. Sex likes light, so it should be planted in the lee of the sun or under the roots of the south wall of the courtyard. If the light is insufficient, plants will not only spend less or not, but even grow weak and have small branches and leaves. Lagerstroemia indica is cold-resistant, but it should be well protected from cold and heat at seedling stage, and the adult plants over three years old 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 l ~ 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 every year, such as applying human manure or sesame paste residue, which can make plants grow vigorously and flowers big and colorful in the coming year. In order to make Osmunda bloom, pruning should be carried out during dormancy.
