Duranta Repens is a fairly good annual flower for the Chinese New Year. From winter onwards, it will be widely available in the market, all with flower buds. When we bring it home and cultivate it, it can bloom continuously, lasting until the April and May of the following year, blooming several times. When growing Duranta Repens at home, watering is essential. But why doesn't it bloom in the later stage? It is mainly due to improper fertilizing. So, how should we fertilize the Duranta Repens we purchase to ensure that after this bloom, it can continue to bloom again?
Duranta Repens has a characteristic feature; each branch has a very high number of flowers, thus consuming a lot of nutrients. The Duranta Repens we buy are usually well fertilized in greenhouses, allowing this batch of flowers to bloom normally. However, if we want to see multiple blooms, we cannot stop fertilizing after we bring it back. Choose a fertilizer with a high content of phosphorus and potassium elements, and no lack of other elements, such as the No.2 of Huaduo. Supplement it 2-3 times a month until all its flower buds are about to fully open, then stop using it. After this batch of flowers has finished blooming, trim the withered flowers and the first pair of leaves under the flowers. After trimming, supplement it again with a fertilizer high in phosphorus and potassium content, and continue to use it. This way, it will not lack other elements and will always receive sufficient phosphorus and potassium elements, allowing it to bloom from winter to spring, April and May.
This is the method of fertilizing Duranta Repens. In daily maintenance, remember that Duranta Repens cannot be planted in deep or large pots, but in smaller, shorter pots. The soil should be breathable and well-draining, and give it plenty of light. When watering, its root system is very shallow, so we should not let the potting soil completely dry out. Generally, under sufficient indoor lighting, when the potting soil is dry halfway, water it thoroughly in time. This way, the Duranta Repens we grow will not have problems and will keep growing and blooming. If you don't know how to grow Duranta Repens, you can follow the method that Xiaoqi mentioned to maintain, water, and fertilize it, and you will be able to grow it well.
