How to care for the long-lived flowers after cutting
Introduction: This article covers topics related to the care of long-lived flowers after cutting and detailed explanation of the key points of caring for long-lived flowers. The following is a detailed sharing.
Long-lived flowers are common in life and come in many varieties with bright blossoms. They are easy to care for and are a highly favored ornamental flower. Long-lived flowers can be cut either after the blossoms fade or before winter arrives. The soil for cutting must be chosen appropriately to increase the survival rate of the cuttings. So, what kind of soil is needed for cutting long-lived flowers, and how should they be cared for after cutting?
Soil needed for caring for long-lived flowers
In fact, long-lived flowers are relatively easy to care for and do not have high requirements for soil. However, it is necessary to ensure that the soil for long-lived flowers is rich in nutrients and has good drainage. This not only ensures an adequate supply of nutrients for the growth of long-lived flowers but also prevents root rot. For example, a mixture of river sand, garden soil, and nutrient-rich decomposed leaf soil can be used as the soil for long-lived flowers.
Daily care after cutting
1. Temperature
For long-lived flowers after cutting, it is important to keep them at a suitable temperature for better root growth and overall development. Therefore, it is best to maintain a temperature of 15-24℃. Only at this temperature can the cut long-lived flowers root better.
2. Watering
After cutting long-lived flowers, do not water excessively. Water according to the moisture level of the potting soil, water when it is dry, and avoid excessive watering on the leaves. Just keep it from dehydrating.

3. Light
Long-lived flowers after cutting should not be exposed to strong sunlight directly. Initially, they should be shaded appropriately and gradually acclimated to sufficient light. Since long-lived flowers have not adapted to the environment at the beginning, strong sunlight can increase leaf evaporation and easily cause dehydration, making it difficult for the plant to survive. Allowing them to receive light after they have slightly adapted can help them root and grow better.
4. Repotting
After a period of time has passed since cutting long-lived flowers and new buds appear, this indicates that the cuttings have succeeded. It is now time to repot the successful cuttings. Otherwise, too many roots can affect the plant's growth later on. After successfully repotting the long-lived flowers, normal care can continue.
