How to Care for Red掌 to Make It Bloom More
Do you know these? Tips on how to care for Red掌 to make it bloom more and teach you the correct maintenance methods for keeping Red掌 green plants, let's find out together next.
Red掌 is very familiar to us, and it also has another name called "Smooth Sailing". There is another flower similar to White掌, called Red掌, which looks almost exactly like White掌, but the flowers it produces are red and bright, with a fiery festive look. Not only are the flowers of Red掌 beautiful, but the leaves themselves are bright green and translucent, making them highly ornamental. Some plant enthusiasts complain that their Red掌 only grows leaves and never blooms, or only blooms one or two flowers. What is the reason for this? How can we increase the number of blooms on Red掌? Today, Ayong is here to share with you three practical tips for making Red掌 bloom in large numbers.
Get More Sunlight Within Reasonable Limits
Like White掌, Red掌 is afraid of strong sunlight, especially the intense summer sun, which can easily cause the leaves of Red掌 to become dry, yellow, or curl and fall off. Once the leaves are extensively damaged, Red掌's survival will be threatened, let alone blooming. If it doesn't see the sun for a long time, Red掌's blooming will also be affected, with fewer and smaller flowers. Therefore, getting reasonable sunlight is an important condition for Red掌 to bloom.
Suggestion: When giving Red掌 sunlight, we can use temperature as a limit, which is 25 degrees. Below 25 degrees, you can expose White掌 to 3-4 hours of direct sunlight every day. Above 25 degrees, it is best to keep it in a bright diffused light environment. Of course, if the temperature is below 10 degrees, you also need to pay attention to keeping warm and prevent frostbite.
Alternating Use of Nitrogen and Phosphorus Potassium Fertilizers
Red掌 has a strong blooming ability, with basically one flower per leaf, and it grows and blooms simultaneously for most of the year. In this case, its demand for fertilizer is also high, needing to balance between growing leaves and blooming, supplementing nitrogen as well as phosphorus and potassium fertilizers.
Suggestion: When spring comes and the temperature stabilizes above 10 degrees, we can increase the fertilizing frequency of Red掌, using it once every 7-10 days, and then alternate between nitrogen compound fertilizer and phosphorus potassium compound fertilizer.
Watering While Also Spraying Water
Red掌 is a typical flowering plant that loves a humid environment, and the luster of its leaves and the quality of its flowers are greatly related to the air and soil humidity. In the maintenance process of Red掌, we not only need to water frequently but also spray water mist into the air regularly.
Suggestion: When the ventilation is good, and the soil and pot have strong water permeability, you can water Red掌 thoroughly when the surface of the potting soil is dry, and then spray some water mist around the leaves of Red掌 every 3-5 days to increase air humidity.
Summary: Blooming Red掌 is not difficult, but if you want to ensure the quantity and quality of its blooms, it is best to learn the three tricks mentioned by Ayong above: cleverly expose to the sun, cleverly fertilize, and cleverly water. Under the combined effect of these three points, your Red掌 can also bloom a dozen flowers in a pot and bloom for six months a year.
