How to raise good luck before it blooms
Fortune is very popular for its fiery red and straight inflorescences, but many flower lovers often encounter the problem of plants not blooming during the maintenance process. As a typical tropical ornamental plant, the auspicious flowering process requires precise environmental control. By mastering the following four key factors, you can easily cultivate brilliant and blooming luck. Four elements of core maintenance temperature control: The golden rule of 20 ° C is the most suitable for growth in the range of 20-25 ° C when good luck is the best, and the temperature difference between day and night needs to be controlled within 5 ° C. When the temperature is lower than 15℃, the plant enters a dormant state, and when the temperature is higher than 30℃, the leaves are easily burned. Especially during the transition period of spring and autumn, it is recommended to use electronic temperature and hygrometer for real-time monitoring. In northern regions, it is necessary to move indoors in advance in winter. Light management: Five hours of scattered light need to be guaranteed for 5 hours of scattered light every day. A segmented illumination mode of 8-10 o'clock in the morning +3-5 o'clock in the afternoon can be adopted. Sunshade nets need to be used to filter strong light in summer, and can be extended to 6 hours in winter. If the leaves are found to be faded or curled, the light intensity should be adjusted immediately. Nutrient supply: The principle of thin fertilizer and frequent application is to apply phosphorus and potassium liquid fertilizer diluted 2000 times every 15 days (recommended ratio of N-P-K is 1:3:2), and apply additional boron-containing foliar fertilizer before flowering. Special attention should be paid: After fertilization, the leaf cores should be washed with clear water to avoid rot caused by residual fertilizer solution. Moisture control: The dry-wet cycle system adopts the "see dry and wet" watering method to keep the substrate humidity between 40-60%. It is recommended to use a mixed substrate of ceramsite bottom + peat soil + perlite (3:2:1), and tilt the flowerpot to drain the remaining water after each watering. The air humidity needs to be maintained at more than 60%, which can be adjusted with an atomizing humidifier.
Through the four-in-one management of temperature, light, nutrients and moisture, coupled with regular pruning of dead leaves and changing pots for maintenance, more than 90% of the good fortune can bloom as scheduled after 1-2 years of maintenance. It is recommended to use pH test paper to test the pH value of the substrate every quarter (ideal value of 5.5-6.5), so that this "auspicious flower" truly becomes a permanent beauty in your home.
