How to make Fusang bloom more
As a star variety among tropical flowers, Hibiscus chinensis is favored by horticulture enthusiasts for its gorgeous and huge flowers. However, many flower lovers often encounter the problem of few flowering and short flowering periods during the maintenance process. To achieve the flourishing scenery of hibiscus flowers, a complete maintenance closed loop needs to be formed from daily maintenance to flowering management. 1. Four elements for cultivating hibiscus flowers 1. For root health infrastructure, use pottery flowerpots with a diameter of 25-35cm, and a 3-cm-thick volcanic rock drainage layer is laid on the bottom. The soil formula is recommended to use the ratio of peat soil: humus soil: perlite =5:3:2. When replacing the pot soil every two years, 5% pine needles are added to adjust the pH value and maintain the pH value between 5.5 and 6.5. 2. Improved light energy conversion efficiency ensures 6 hours of direct light every day in spring and summer, and no less than 4 hours in winter. Use the rotating flowerpot method to adjust 180 degrees every week to allow the plants to receive even light. In the strong light season (June-August), use a sunshade net to filter 30% of the light from 10:00 to 15:00 to avoid burning petals. 3. The collaborative management plan of water and fertilizer establishes a "sandwich watering method": water is poured thoroughly when the surface soil is 2 cm dry, and 0.1% potassium dihydrogen phosphate is sprayed on the leaves. High-phosphorus water-soluble fertilizer (N-P-K=10-30-20) is applied every 15 days during the growing period, and seaweed fertilizer is added during the bud appearing period to enhance stress resistance. 4. The plant shape optimization strategy is to be re-cut in March every year, retaining 3-5 primary branches on the main stem and 2-3 bud points on the secondary branches. Remove blind branches in time during the growth period, and use a 45-degree oblique shearing method for long branches to promote the concentration of nutrients into flower buds. 2. Guidelines for the maintenance of extended flowering period of Hibiscus japonica When the first flower bud appears, the ambient temperature should be controlled within the range of 18-25℃, and the relative humidity should be maintained at 60%-70%. Water supply is supplied by dipping basin method to keep the substrate humidity between 40% and 50%. Cut off the remaining flowers immediately after each flower withers and keep the second compound leaf below the flower stalk.
Through scientific and systematic maintenance and management, Hibiscus flowers can bloom in multiple seasons throughout the year. The key is to grasp the dynamic balance of light, warm water and fertilizer and establish a maintenance plan that conforms to its growth rhythm. It is recommended to record plant growth data every month and gradually optimize maintenance details, so that your hibiscus flowers will bloom in a stunning tropical style.
