Energy Formula for Hoya to Bloom Quickly
Secret of Light Energy Conversion
Ensure 2000-3000Lux scattered light during the flower bud differentiation period, use the 'rotating care method' to rotate the pot 180° weekly to avoid unilateral lighting reducing the number of flowers.
Nutrition Supply Plan
Use flowering liquid fertilizer (N-P-K=5-10-5) every half month from March to September, combined with banana peel enzyme watering once a month. Spray phosphorus potassium fertilizer (1:1500) on the leaves during the bud formation period.
Techniques for Flowering Control
Keep branches over 3 years old (important flower bud sites), pinch the tips of new branches with 6 leaves to promote branching. Remove the remaining flowers after blooming, leaving a 2cm flower stalk for reblooming.
Mastering this care system, even balcony gardeners can achieve 'leaves to be seen in all seasons and flowers to be appreciated in three seasons'. Remember to check the development of aerial roots regularly, when white roots cover the trellis, it won't be long before the flowers burst!
