How to care for the longevity flowers during their blooming periodAbstract: This article discusses the care techniques for longevity flowers during their blooming period and the green plant flower planting methods. Here is a comprehensive introduction.Longevity flowers have an exceptionally long blooming period. Those that did not bloom in previous years start to bloom after entering spring. However, during the blooming period of longevity flowers, improper care can cause the flowers to wither prematurely, shortening the blooming period. So, how can we care for longevity flowers during their blooming period to extend their blooming time? Avoiding four mistakes will help them bloom longer.Do not repot during the blooming periodSpring is a good season for repotting flowers, and many flower enthusiasts will change the potting soil for their flowers at this time. However, longevity flowers are in the bud and blooming stage, and repotting them may damage the roots. Damaged roots cannot absorb nutrients properly, causing the buds and flowers to wither.If you plan to repot longevity flowers, you can prune them after they finish blooming, then repot and change the soil. If repotting during the blooming period, try to take as much soil as possible to avoid damaging the roots. This will help the plant adapt to the new pot more easily, with minimal impact on blooming and allowing it to bloom normally.Do not water excessivelyDuring the blooming period of longevity flowers, proper care is very important. Many flower enthusiasts have a habit of watering their flowers whenever they see them. However, frequent watering is not beneficial for plant growth, especially for succulents like longevity flowers, which have a strong tolerance for drought and are afraid of waterlogging. Excessive watering can keep the potting soil moist for extended periods, leading to root rot and the plant withering.To care for flowers, you should understand their growth habits. For drought-tolerant flowers like longevity flowers, do not water too frequently. Wait until the potting soil is completely dry before thoroughly watering.When watering already blooming longevity flower potted plants, water along the edge of the pot and avoid getting the flowers wet. Otherwise, poor ventilation can easily cause the flowers to rot and fall off.How to care for longevity flowers during their blooming periodDo not fertilizeFertilizing randomly during the blooming period of longevity flowers can also affect blooming, as improper fertilization can cause root burn and shorten the blooming period. When the longevity flowers are growing buds, we can supplement their nutrients by applying potassium dihydrogen phosphate every ten to fifteen days, which promotes bud growth and improves the quality of blooming.After the buds have fully opened, avoid fertilizing as the plant has already bloomed and can meet its blooming needs without additional fertilizer. Fertilizing during the blooming period can more easily cause fertilizer damage.After the plant's blooming period is over, you can prune and shape it, then apply a dilute fertilizer or a small amount of compound fertilizer in the pot to encourage the growth of more robust new branches.Reduce sunlight to extend the blooming periodLongevity flowers are short-day plants. Before blooming, they need adequate sunlight, and exposing them to more sunlight during the bud stage can promote bud growth and make them bloom earlier.Once the longevity flowers have bloomed, if they are kept in direct sunlight, the flowers will open faster and wither sooner. Therefore, after they have opened, place them in a semi-shaded or diffused light area to reduce sunlight exposure, which can delay the blooming period and extend the time they remain in bloom.If you are currently caring for longevity flowers that are in the bud and blooming stage, taking care of these four aspects will help extend their blooming time and increase the appreciation period.The above sharing on how to care for longevity flowers during their blooming period and comprehensive methods for caring for them during the blooming period aims to provide a starting point and help solve your green plant problems.
