How to manage the blooming period of Duranta flowers
Main content introduction: How to manage the blooming period of Duranta flowers and related knowledge about Duranta blooming period management and propagation techniques for flowers. The site editor will introduce these to netizens next.
Now the blooming period of Duranta flowers is almost over. If the post-bloom treatment is proper, they can bloom again, but the number of flowers in the second bloom will be relatively fewer. After Duranta flowers bloom, it is necessary to remove the withered flowers promptly and supplement a slow-release fertilizer by sprinkling it around the soil surface.
I. Management of Duranta blooming period:
If you want Duranta flowers to bloom longer, if you find that most of its flower buds have opened, you can move it to a cool and shaded indoor environment to provide a cooler environment, avoid too much sunlight, which can appropriately extend the ornamental period of the flowers. Also, do not place it in an overly dark location to maintain bright lighting.
After all the flowers have opened, do not fertilize it first. Enjoy it normally and do not spray water on the flowers and leaves, as this may cause the flowers to wilt prematurely.
The management of the moisture in the potting soil is also simple. After the soil is completely dry, slowly water it around the potting soil, and do not let the soil become too moist.
If your Duranta continues to produce flower buds, it must continue to be exposed to sunlight. If the temperature difference is large and the temperature is low, the leaves of Duranta may turn red, which is normal.
The blooming period of Duranta flowers is long. If there is a continuous low temperature of 10-18 degrees, it can make the flowers bloom for three to five months.
How to manage the blooming period of Duranta flowers
The number of Duranta flowers is extremely abundant. Some flower buds may not have opened yet, but if some flowers wither, it should also be managed promptly. Carefully cut off the withered flowers to improve the ornamental value, which requires patience when pruning.
II. Post-bloom management:
When most of the Duranta flowers are about to wilt, you can cut off all the flowers, which can accumulate more nutrients and is beneficial for the next bloom.
The specific pruning method is also simple. Below the flower (stem), there are usually two small leaves. Prune just below these small leaves on the stem.
After pruning, make sure the wound does not get wet and let it heal naturally. When watering, try to water directly into the potting soil.
After the withered flowers are pruned, you can promptly supplement a fertilizer, first with a slow-release fertilizer, such as the common Ogreen A2. When Duranta starts to grow new buds, you can begin to supplement a low-concentration water-soluble fertilizer, such as Huaduo No. 1, at half the usual concentration, which is one gram of fertilizer mixed with 3000 milliliters of water. You can combine foliar and root feeding.
III. Post-bloom propagation:
If you want to propagate Duranta, it is also simple. It is generally recommended to combine stem cutting and leaf cutting propagation. For the longer stems of Duranta, cut them into sections 7-9 centimeters long, each with two or three growth nodes. Cut off the thick and healthy leaves at the bottom of the stem, let the wounds dry, and place them in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area for three to five days.
After three to five days, when the wounds have healed, you can insert the Duranta stems into loose and breathable potting soil using a small pot. Pre-spray a little water on the soil to make it slightly moist and place it in a position with a little soft scattered light, with a temperature of 18-25 degrees. For leaf cutting propagation, place the dried leaf wounds flat on the soil surface, with the soil also slightly moist.
The later management is the same. Water the soil when it is completely dry and gradually increase a little sunlight after the buds grow. Patience is required during maintenance.
