Blue Flower Vine - Dreamy Blue and Purple Waterfall

🌸The blue flower vine has dense branches and bright flowers that hang down in clusters and can cover the trellis in patches, creating a spectacular picture of flowers without leaves.

🌷Its vine is very strong and can grow up to 5 meters long. It blooms every year in April and May. The inflorescences hang down. The flowers are blue-violet at the beginning and then gradually become light blue and then light pink. When in full bloom, the overall color of the flowers is gradient.

🍃The petals and sepals overlap up and down and look like a ten-pointed star, which is very beautiful. After the flowers have wilted, the sepals do not fall off, so they still have ornamental value, but the color gradually fades to white.

Plant Guide

Sowing:

➡️Seeds should be soaked in warm water for germination: 10-15 hours. Once you see the seeds swell, you can sow them.

➡️When sowing, the seeds should be laid flat. The white buds on the seeds are roots. Place the white buds downwards so that the roots can grow easily.

➡️When sowing in pots, it is best to use sterilized soil or freshly dried garden soil and always pay attention to the dryness and wetness of the potting soil.

Soil selection: Blue flower vines like to grow in fertile, well-drained soil with a pH between 6.0 and 7.5. Before planting, you can add an appropriate amount of decomposed organic fertilizer to the soil to improve soil fertility.

Light requirements: Blue flower vines need sufficient sunlight and should choose a location with adequate lighting and good ventilation. Too little sunlight will affect flowering.

Irrigation management: Blue flower vines like a humid environment, but care should be taken to avoid water accumulation. When potting, you should wait to water until the surface of the potting soil turns white. When planting on the ground, you need to drain the water in time during the rainy season.

Fertilization: During the growth process, a thin complex fertilizer or cake fertilizer water can be applied every half month. Before flowering, potassium dihydrogen phosphate solution can be applied to promote the differentiation of flower buds and improve flower quality.

Pruning management: Because blueflower vine grows quickly, it needs to be pruned in time. When the new branches in the pot reach a height of 14-17cm, you can do a topping cut to promote the growth of the branches and avoid them becoming too dense and affecting the visual appearance. In addition, it needs to be re-pruned every year after the flowers fade to reduce nutrient consumption and promote the differentiation of new flower buds.

Pest and disease control: Blueflower vine is susceptible to pests and diseases such as black spot and aphids. Therefore, pest and disease control must be carried out before and during the growing season to ensure the healthy growth of the plant.
