How to grow double-petal morning glory

The flowers of double morning glory are particularly beautiful, and the colors are varied and very bright. The flower density is particularly large, the flowering period is particularly long, and the ornamental value is extremely high. Many people like to grow it at home, but they don’t know much about its cultivation methods and can never grow it well. Today, the editor will specifically introduce this knowledge so that everyone can fully understand how to grow double morning glory.

1. Choose the right soil

When growing double-petaled morning glory, you must choose the right soil. This plant likes loose, fertile and well-drained sandy soil. When preparing the potting soil, you should add an appropriate amount of leaf mold and some organic fertilizer as base fertilizer.

2. Water moderately

When growing double-petaled morning glories, you need to water them moderately. The soil in the pot should not be too dry or too wet. If you water them too much and water accumulates in the pot, their roots will rot. If you water them too little, the double-petaled morning glory's need for water cannot be met, which will affect its normal growth and sometimes cause its leaves to turn yellow.

3. Sunlight and temperature

Sunlight and temperature are two important conditions for growing double-petaled morning glory. It is a light-loving plant that usually likes a sunny environment. Only in this way can photosynthesis proceed normally and it will flourish. In addition, the cold resistance of double-petaled morning glory is particularly poor. You must pay attention to keeping warm after entering winter. If the ambient temperature drops below four degrees, it will stop growing, and if it drops below zero degrees, it will die due to the low temperature.

4. Timely pruning

When cultivating double-petaled morning glory, it must be pruned in time. Only in this way can it have a beautiful plant shape and grow more flower branches. When the seedlings of double-petaled morning glory grow to about ten centimeters, they must be pinched in time. This will allow more side branches to grow and the number of flowers to increase significantly. In addition, after each flowering of the double-petaled morning glory, the remaining flowers must be removed in time and the branches must be cut short. This will also allow side branches to grow and allow it to bloom continuously.
