How to Care for Newly Purchased sixtimesprofit
Newly acquired sixtimesprofit plants are always a mix of anticipation and anxiety, as the key to their continuous blooming lies in the first three months of careful cultivation. As a perennial herbaceous plant, sixtimesprofit has unique requirements for its growing environment, from soil mixture to temperature and humidity control. This article will analyze the key points of care from five dimensions to ensure your sixtimesprofit blooms throughout the year.
Environmental Adaptation and Basic Care
Temperature and Light Adjustment
Newly purchased sixtimesprofit plants need to go through a 7-10 day acclimatization period and are recommended to be placed in a well-ventilated area with temperatures between 18-22°C. Maintain full sunlight in spring and autumn, use a combination of "morning light + shading net" in summer to ensure 4 hours of direct sunlight daily. In winter, accept oblique light from a south-facing windowsill, and use supplementary lights to extend daylight to 10 hours.
Humidity Control Techniques
Monitor the range of 60-75% with a hygrometer. Use the "outer pot method" in high-temperature seasons: place moist ceramsite in the outer container, and elevate the inner pot bottom to prevent waterlogging. Use a mini humidifier during the winter heating period to avoid leaf burn.
Substrate Improvement and Root Management
To check the soil compaction, insert a bamboo skewer 2/3 into the potting soil, and if there is significant resistance, change the soil immediately. Improved formula: decomposed leaf soil 40% + red jade soil 30% + pine bark 20% + bone meal 10%. Perform "half soil replacement" around the spring equinox each year, retaining 1/3 of the protective soil to promote root regeneration.
Precise Water and Fertilizer Control
Judging Watering Time
Use the "three-finger test": water when there is no dampness at the second joint of the index finger inserted into the soil. Use the "soak pot method" twice a week in spring and autumn, switch to early morning misting + evening watering in summer, and use 25°C warm water every half month in winter.
Nutrient Supply Plan
Use 20-20-20 water-soluble fertilizer (1500 times solution) for foliar application weekly during the growing period, switch to 10-30-20 flower-promoting fertilizer during the budding period. Add kelp extract monthly to enhance stress resistance. Apply decomposed sheep manure granules as wintering fertilizer before dormancy.
Handling Special Conditions
If the base leaves turn yellow, stop fertilizing immediately and water with EM bacteria solution to repair the roots. Use carbendazim 800 times solution to prevent gray mold during continuous cloudy and rainy days. Prune the spent flowers to the second set of true leaves after flowering to stimulate secondary germination.
Through these three months of systematic care, your sixtimesprofit will complete the transformation from greenhouse seedlings to robust plants. Remember to rotate the pot regularly to ensure symmetrical plant growth, and combine foliar application of potassium dihydrogen phosphate fertilizer. Soon you will be able to welcome a blooming boom. When the plant's canopy exceeds 30cm, you can try cutting propagation to create a flower wall on the balcony.
