How to make the upside down golden bell bloom
Known as the "lantern flower", the inverted golden bell has become a popular choice for home gardening due to its unique hanging flower shape. To achieve the ornamental effect of continuous bursting flowers, scientific maintenance methods are needed. This article will systematically analyze the key points of full-cycle maintenance of inverted golden bells from flower promotion techniques to post-flower management. Four elements of upside down golden bell bursting with flowers 1. The golden light ratio ensures 6 hours of soft scattered light every day in spring and autumn, and 2 hours of direct light in the morning and evening can significantly improve the flower bud differentiation rate. A 50% sunshade net needs to be set up in summer to avoid strong light at noon from burning leaves. 2. The dynamic fertilization plan alternately uses water-soluble fertilizer with N-P-K=10-15-10 (once a week) and decomposed sheep manure (once a month) during the growth period. During the budding period, potassium dihydrogen phosphate (1500 times liquid) was sprayed on the leaves, and the effect was better when combined with root irrigation. 3. Intelligent moisture control adopts the dual strategy of "seeing dry and seeing humidity + air humidification". Keep the substrate humidity at 40%-60% in spring and autumn, and spray in the morning and evening in summer to keep the air humidity at>65%. In winter, control the water until the surface of the substrate turns white before pouring. 4. The stepped pruning method picks the heart for the first time during the seedling stage of the third pair of true leaves, and prunes it once every 15cm of growth. Keep 4-6 main branches before flowering, and cut dense side buds. Pay attention to disinfection of tools and spray carbendazim after pruning to prevent infection. Post-flower maintenance trilogy Remnant flower pruning: When the flowers bloom to 70% withering, use disinfectant scissors to cut flat at the base of the pedicel 2cm to avoid nutrient consumption.
Precise nourishment: Apply slow-release fertilizer (N-P-K=5-10-5) immediately after pruning, and combine with alginate to promote the germination of new buds.
Environmental reset: Move the plants to a ventilated place at 18-22℃, maintain scattered light, and gradually return to normal maintenance.
Through scientific flower promotion management and meticulous post-flowering maintenance, the inverted golden bell can achieve 3-4 flowering cycles throughout the year. It is recommended to dynamically adjust the maintenance plan based on the plant status and regularly rotate the flowerpot to ensure uniform light reception. You will surely be able to harvest the colorful lantern waterfall.
