They have bright and colorful blooms with a flowering period of several months. Some enthusiasts have kept their longevity flowers for several years, growing into beautiful old stakes, some even for six or seven years. They bloom on time every year, growing particularly large and lush. Some enthusiasts say that their longevity flowers are weak and sparsely blooming. What is the reason?To cultivate longevity flowers, focus on these three key points, and they will bloom beautifully with a large number of flowers, lasting up to ten years!If the longevity flowers at home bloom less and the number of flower buds decreases, it is actually not well cultivated. If not properly cared for, the number and quality of blooms will not be good. However, if the method is mastered and properly cared for, they can produce a large number of flowers, with the flower count increasing each time, even growing into a small longevity flower tree. To make longevity flowers bloom more, pay attention to these three points:FertilizationIf the potting soil is poor and compacted, either change the soil or fertilize it in time. It's best not to use chemical fertilizers for longevity flowers, as they make the soil more compacted. Organic fertilizers can make the soil loose and fertile for a long time. Especially well-fermented organic fertilizers like cake fertilizer, sesame seed residue, chicken manure, and pigeon droppings are very beneficial for root growth.Apply thin fertilizers frequently, once every half a month or so, which can fully provide nutrients. Especially after pruning, fertilization is essential for new buds and more flower buds to grow. After the flower buds emerge, spray phosphorus potassium fertilizer in time, and the flower buds will grow large and beautiful.How to cultivate longevity flowersPruningTo cultivate potted longevity flowers, it is necessary to prune them frequently, especially during the growing season. Regular pruning promotes more side buds to grow. Otherwise, new buds and flower buds will grow less. Long-term lack of pruning will prevent flowering. When pruning, don't cut off all the branches, but leave some healthy leafy branches. Trim off old leaves and残花 in time to prevent nutrient consumption.The branches and leaves cut off can also be used. Plant them in loose and breathable soil, and they will take root and grow into more new longevity flower seedlings, blooming many flowers.Root careTo make longevity flowers bloom every year and more flowers, it is necessary to take care of their roots and promote more new roots to grow. This way, they can grow lush and bloom continuously. You can apply some potassium fertilizer because it makes the roots stronger. A small trick is to water with aspirin solution, which can also promote root growth. Moreover, after two years of cultivation, it is necessary to change the potting soil to make it more fertile, breathable, and loose.In this way, longevity flowers can be cultivated for many years, gradually growing into beautiful old stakes, blooming more flowers, and constantly improving their ability to bloom and produce new buds. They bloom a large number of flowers at once, which is very beautiful. Both single-petal and double-petal longevity flowers bloom many and grow vigorously!The above is the specific introduction of how to cultivate longevity flowers and the cultivation and maintenance methods brought by the Green Plant Enthusiast website.
