What kind of crape myrtle is planted in the yard?

"The new branches in the autumn building in Xiao Ying do not occupy the most spring in the garden", which is the description of Wei Zishu by Du Mu, a famous poet in the Tang Dynasty.

This poem vividly shows the characteristics of Ziwei. Ziwei greets the rising sun in the autumn dew. In early spring, it doesn't compete with flowers. In autumn, it "smiles" to compete with flowers for strength and victory.

Ziwei has other nicknames among the people.

Lagerstroemia indica is called Hundred Days Red in some areas because of its long flowering period. According to the color characteristics of Lagerstroemia indica, in other areas, people call Lagerstroemia indica a full house.

In fact, these nicknames all reflect some characteristics of Ziwei, that is, the flowers are redder and the flowering period is longer.

The trunk of Lagerstroemia indica is very distinctive, and the bark rotates once a year.

If you see the fallen bark of Lagerstroemia indica on the floor at home, please don't worry, because this is a normal physiological process.

When you touch the bark of Lagerstroemia indica, you will find that it is very smooth, and Lagerstroemia indica seems to be shaking slightly, which may be a sign that Lagerstroemia indica is ticklish!

There are two planting methods of Lagerstroemia indica, pot planting and ground planting. The shape of Lagerstroemia indica planted by the two methods is slightly different.

Lagerstroemia indica planted by ground planting method can be called trees, which grow well and have long branches and are suitable for planting at the door.

Lagerstroemia indica planted by pot method can be called shrub, with short branches and many leaves, which is suitable for beautifying the home environment.

There are two ways to cultivate Lagerstroemia indica. Every winter, Lagerstroemia indica will bear fresh flower seeds. At this time, you can keep the flower seeds and sow them in the soil the next spring, so that we can plant good crape myrtle in a year or two.

And if you want to see Lagerstroemia indica quickly, then I recommend you to transplant Lagerstroemia indica by cutting, because the branches of Lagerstroemia indica can survive when they are buried.

Lagerstroemia speciosa likes sunshine. If Lagerstroemia speciosa is planted in the shade, its branches and leaves will be greatly infected by pests and diseases, and ultraviolet rays in the sun can kill germs.

So we'd better plant Lagerstroemia indica trees outdoors or on the balcony, so there is no need to spray pesticides.

Some friends may have crape myrtle, but its branches are too small and its leaves are yellow. Why?

This is because you didn't fertilize Lagerstroemia indica during its growth cycle.

Different fertilizers need to be used in the long leaf period and flowering period of Lagerstroemia indica.

When growing leaves, we can apply potassium fertilizer, because potassium can promote the growth of leaves; In the flowering period, phosphate fertilizer can be used, because phosphorus acts on flower buds, which can promote the blooming of flowers.

If you cultivate Lagerstroemia indica in pot culture, you should pay attention to the following two points.

First, after the first round of flowering, Lagerstroemia indica can prune its branches. After pruning, the second round of flowers bloomed immediately.

Second, every two to three years, we have to change the soil of Lagerstroemia indica potted plants.

Because the types of elements in fertilizer are too single, the soil we obtained from network channels or mountains is rich in trace elements, which can better help Lagerstroemia indica grow.

Now is the best planting season. Planting Lagerstroemia indica indoors can also help us absorb dust in the air, release fragrance and cultivate our indoor environment.

Therefore, Lagerstroemia indica is the most suitable plant for family planting.

If there are no green plants at home, it is better to plant one or two excellent crape myrtle trees from now on!
