Cultivation methods and precautions of mosquito repellent grass

1. Sowing of mosquito repellent grass

When cultivating mosquito repellent grass, sowing is the first step. It should be done in early March every year. The prepared seeds can be placed in clean sand, about three centimeters deep. After four hours, water it enough to keep the soil moist. Place it in a warm and sunny place. As long as the room temperature is not lower than 20 degrees, it will germinate and take root after a month, and then you can take it out and transplant it.

2. Management of mosquito repellent grass seedlings

The mosquito repellent grass plant grows very fast in the seedling stage and needs to be repotted many times. Each time you repot it, you must apply enough base fertilizer in time, and the soil should be acidic with a higher acidity value. Its growth will not slow down until after June. At this time, you can use peat soil, vermiculite and perlite to make nutrient soil, and then transplant the mosquito repellent grass directly into it.

3. Precautions for breeding mosquito repellent grass

There are some things to note when growing mosquito repellent grass. Especially when it suddenly drops leaves, you should observe whether the light conditions are too strong or too weak, and whether the temperature is suitable. In addition, do not water the mosquito repellent grass excessively. It is drought-resistant. Excessive watering will cause the leaves to turn yellow or the roots to rot, which is not good for the growth of mosquito repellent grass. Mosquito repellent grass has a large demand for fertilizer. It is usually fertilized once every 15 days. However, its growth slows down after entering winter, and the supply of fertilizer should also be reduced, otherwise its leaves will fall off.
