How to water the longevity flowers during their blooming period
For many girls, knowing how to water the longevity flowers during their blooming period and the key points of maintaining them are very useful knowledge about green plants and flowers. It's recommended to collect this information!
Longevity flowers are very beautiful when they bloom. Not only do they have high aesthetic value, but they also symbolize longevity. They make a great gift for elderly people on their birthdays.
Although longevity flowers are nice, many flower enthusiasts say they don't know how to take care of them. So, today, Xiao Hua is going to share with you the secrets of maintaining longevity flowers. By learning to distinguish three different periods to care for them, you can easily grow them full and they can bloom for up to three months!
Before their blooming period (before March)
(1) Watering and fertilizing
Before the blooming period of longevity flowers, we need to adjust their fertilizer and water. They don't require much water, so you should water them only when the soil in the pot becomes dry. As the roots of longevity flowers are relatively weak, frequent watering can lead to root rot. Additionally, fertilizing is necessary, with a thin organic fertilizer once a month.
(2) Sufficient lighting and environmental control plus pinching
In daily care for longevity flowers, they need to be exposed to ample sunlight, as sufficient light allows them to grow quickly. Generally, they should receive more than 8 hours of sunlight a day. Also, maintain a well-ventilated environment to prevent bacterial infections. When they start to develop some flower buds, pinching is required.
(3) Reduced lighting and leaf treatment
When longevity flowers are in their blooming period, too much sunlight can cause the flowers to wither faster. Therefore, during the blooming period, we need to reduce the time longevity flowers are exposed to sunlight, preferably in the morning or afternoon, allowing them to receive some scattered light. And during their blooming period, one of the most important points is not to let the flowers of longevity flowers come into contact with water for a long time, as this can also easily cause the flowers to wither.

(4) Water control and pruning
During the blooming period of longevity flowers, if they are exposed to too much water, it can speed up their metabolism, ultimately leading to faster leaf withering. You can reduce the amount of water you give them to extend their blooming period. During the blooming period, some flowers will inevitably wilt faster, so when you notice flowers withering, you should prune them promptly to prevent them from absorbing nutrients from the top.
After their blooming period (after June)
After the blooming period of longevity flowers, to add nutrients, you can wait until spring to repot them once and choose acidic soil, which is conducive to their reblooming.
When growing longevity flowers at home, we need to pay attention to the maintenance of the flowers during these three blooming periods, so as to ensure safe maintenance and ultimately make them bloom full!
