Propagation mode
Campanula bellata is mainly propagated by sowing. The seeds are small, and the covering soil should not be too thick. The optimum temperature for germination is 2-24℃, and it can also be divided into plants or cuttage. After flowering, a capsule is formed, and the first fruit has many seeds. The seeds are very small, so they can be dried and stored. In spring or late winter or early spring, they can be planted in a plastic shed with heat preservation. In order to facilitate the staggered high temperature and summer heat in flowering period. According to the requirements of small seeds, the soil preparation should be meticulous, deeply break the soil for more than 2 times, scrape the ground, pour enough water, and then spread the seeds evenly. After sowing, no soil is covered or thin cover is used to sieve fine soil. Spraying water with a sprayer at seedling stage, and depending on the growth of seedlings, thinning and replanting seedlings are carried out. You can also sow the seeds in the sand table with heat preservation, and apply compound fertilizer immediately after seedling.
when the seedling height is about 1 cm, transplant it to nursery or upper pot for permanent planting. The suitable row spacing for planting in the nursery is 2cm x 4cm. After transplanting, root water should be drenched, and then it should be managed as usual. It can also be sown in autumn. Generally, the seedlings sown in autumn in that year need to be cultivated until the spring and summer of the following year before they can blossom. Plant division is more than in autumn, and after one winter cultivation, it can bloom in the next year. Cutting is more than picking new buds sprouting at the base in spring, inserting them into wet sand bed, spraying moisture frequently, and transplanting after rooting.

second, the legend of bluebells
The Guardian of Fairy Forest
At night, it is as cool as water, with a little firefly, which is intoxicating and fragrant.
over the fairy forest, there is a faint fragrance of campanula, which is scattered and diffused. The dark fragrance is surging in people's hearts. The world here is still beautiful, like the piano sound played by a fairy in the moonlight. Everything sleeps quietly in silence and serenity, expecting to welcome another new mood in the alternation of darkness and dawn.
Only the bellflower didn't fall asleep. The love between A Zi and Lily made her curious and eager for love. She exuded a delicate fragrance at night, and in this special way, she thought about her ignorant hopes in the future.
In a few days, she will be sent to Yakun's lair, as the guardian of the flower fairy in Fairy Forest. From the time of birth, this is the fate that she has to face. At a certain moment, her spirit will be transformed into a graceful figure of a girl, waiting for the appearance of the monster Yakun, and then, in the tears and waves of all the sisters, after accepting Angela's blessing, she will bid farewell to the garden and go to the monster's lair as a way to achieve peace and peace. I don't know how many bellflower sisters have suffered.
The only thing to be happy about is that the Campanula family can turn into a beautiful girl's appearance, which is very enviable compared with other flower families. However, when this moment comes, it will mean the beginning of their fate tragedy.
If you can love one day and feel that a person loves you dearly, such a beautiful memory should overcome all the hardships in the future, right?
hey, what am I thinking about? Campanula sighed faintly and glanced around secretly. There was no movement. She sighed secretly. The fragrance suddenly became dim at this moment. She never dared to expect to get a love. What could the doomed fate make her ask for again? However, she has never been afraid and escaped. It is worthwhile to do so for the peace of Xianjing Forest, she told herself.
are the stars also bowing their heads and thinking? Will there be one that belongs to her in that distant place? Campanula recalled the bit by bit with her sisters, and countless overlapping scenes swept before her eyes. For a while, the flowers trembled with heartache and laughter, and for a while, she cried with tears.
She remembers that Lily once shook her feathery leaves and told her that on a certain day, a soldier waiting for love stroked his petals and whispered silently where his love was going.
I can't help but think of wisteria's stubbornness and persistence in love, and she is waiting in the corner where love is placed, next to the thick yellow leaves, listening to the echo of rustling, trying to find the footprints that the person she loves has traveled.
What is love that makes every fairy feel sad? Campanula remembered what the flower fairies said to themselves:
"If I can, I really hope to turn into a girl like you and fly away with my lover."
"Grass, you won't understand. Once you fall in love with human beings, you will be doomed to plant sad roots."
...
A gust of wind passed. With a fine sob, the bellflower came back to the gods, and the rising sun on the horizon gradually rose and dyed the fairy forest red.
She sniffed hard, and finally made a decision. In order not to have any regrets, she decided to put a few sweet words in her pink-blue flower bag, and then let the white dandelion stand on the ends of the earth.
cherish a mood and wait for a little expectation. Don't make a mistake, it's the guardian campanula of Xianlin.
