How to Make旱金莲 Bloom in Abundance
Want to make旱金莲 burst into a flower waterfall? This plant, which can be appreciated both for its leaves and flowers, can certainly achieve a pot full of blooming flowers through scientific care. This article will systematically analyze the top 5 secrets for abundant bloom care, from soil mixing to water and fertilizer management.
One: Basic Root Care Construction
1.1 Golden Soil Mixing Scheme
A mixed matrix of decomposed leaf soil (40%) + garden soil (40%) + sandy soil (10%) + compost (10%) ensures both breathability and continuous nutrient supply. It is recommended to add 5% perlite during pot changing every 2 years to enhance drainage.
1.2 Secrets of Base Fertilization
Bury bone meal (50g/pot) and decomposed sheep dung (100g/pot) when repotting, to store sufficient nutrients for subsequent growth. Ensure there is a 3cm separation layer between the fertilizer and the roots.
Two: Light and Temperature Synergy to Promote Flowering Mechanism
2.1 Four-Season Light Strategy
Full sunlight in spring and autumn (6-8 hours), shade net protection from 10:00 to 15:00 in summer, and southern window sill supplemental lighting in winter. Maintain light intensity between 15000-30000 lux.
2.2 Precise Temperature Control
During the growing period, maintain a day temperature of 22-24°C/night temperature of 16-18°C to stimulate bud differentiation. Use double-layer thermal insulation film in winter to maintain a temperature of over 10°C for overwintering.
Three: Smart Water and Fertilizer Management System
3.1 Graded Watering Scheme
Spring (2 times/week), summer (morning and evening), autumn (3 times/week), winter (5-7 times/week). Pair with a humidity meter to maintain air humidity at 60%-70%.
3.2 Nutrient Supplement Cycle
During the growing period, alternate every 15 days between applying Flower多多1 (NPK 20-20-20) and monopotassium phosphate (1000 times solution). Apply additional calcium and magnesium fertilizers during the budding stage to prevent bud drop.
Through the above systematic care, combined with regular trimming of wilted flowers and pinching to promote branching, it usually takes 3-5 months to achieve the full-pot effect. It is recommended to spray with brassinolactone (0.01% concentration) monthly to enhance stress resistance, allowing旱金莲 to bloom continuously for more than half a year.
