Farming methods

1. Prepare the culture soil

When you grow dolphin flowers at home, you must prepare suitable culture soil. This plant likes loose, fertile, and breathable soil. You must not choose soil with high viscosity. It is best to use peat three-in-one, or add an appropriate amount of sand to the general culture soil to prepare the culture soil. Only in this way can the air permeability of the soil be increased and the dolphin flower can grow healthily and vigorously.

2. Reasonable watering

When cultivating dolphin flowers, you must water them properly. The leaves of dolphin flowers are fleshy, and their water content is relatively high. They are drought-resistant. Watering should not be too frequent, and a tray should not be placed at the bottom of the flowerpot, otherwise the roots will rot due to lack of oxygen. Under normal circumstances, dolphin flowers can be watered once every five to seven days.

3. Moderate light

When growing dolphin flowers, you must place them in a sunny environment. This plant prefers a semi-shaded environment and cannot accept strong light, otherwise its leaves will turn yellow and curl, and in severe cases, it will die. Windowsills and balconies with sufficient scattered light at home are the best choices for growing dolphin flowers.

Precautions

The vitality of the dolphin flower is relatively strong, and the cultivation method is relatively simple, but you must pay attention to fertilization during the cultivation process, because this plant does not like concentrated fertilizers, it is best to choose thin fertilizers and apply them frequently. In addition, if the base fertilizer has been applied when planting, it can be used for up to three or two months without fertilizer. When cultivating the dolphin flower, you must also pay attention to temperature regulation. It is a tropical plant and must not be placed in an environment below ten degrees in winter, otherwise it will die due to the low temperature.
