Therefore, after the longevity flower pot plants bloom, you can reduce the sunlight appropriately and move the pot to a diffused light environment, which can also extend the blooming period for a while.

Caring and Managing Longevity Flowers After Blooming

① Prune wilted flowers

After longevity flowers bloom, prune them once by cutting off the wilted flowers, removing withered branches and yellow leaves, and thinning out overly disorderly branches and leaves.

For branches that have grown too long, you can top them to reduce excessive nutrient consumption and maintain a low and stylish plant. If the temperature is suitable in spring, the pruned branches can be simply trimmed and then propagated by cutting, which can have a high survival rate.

② Supplement nutrients

About a week after pruning, you can start supplementing nutrients for longevity flowers. In maintenance management, we can fertilize with a compound fertilizer or fermented cake fertilizer every half a month to help the plant recover growth and make the branches and leaves grow lush.
