When does 锦晃星 bloom
锦晃星 generally needs to be cultivated for 2-3 years before blooming. Its blooming period ranges from late autumn to early spring, mainly between April and May. Before blooming, 锦晃星 will first produce flower stems from the top of the branches, with bell-shaped small flowers that are bright red, have 5 petals, and are usually semi-open, with a spike-like inflorescence.
Handling methods after 锦晃星 blooms
Since blooming consumes a lot of nutrients, it is recommended that after blooming, you can cut off the inflorescence to prevent it from absorbing nutrients, which may affect the overall growth of the plant. 锦晃星 usually blooms in winter or early spring. In addition, the propagation of 锦晃星 is generally by cutting, which is relatively easy.
Pruning: After blooming, cut off the flowers and inflorescence together, then slightly treat the cut with a disinfectant, and place it in a well-ventilated area to dry. This can help the plant save a lot of nutrients for the growth of its branches and leaves.
Watering: 锦晃星 prefers a cool and dry environment and does not require much water. It also has a strong water storage capacity, so do not water it frequently during maintenance.
Fertilizing: Fertilize in a timely manner to supplement the plant's nutrients. You can use phosphorus and potassium fertilizers. 锦晃星 usually blooms in winter or early spring. After blooming each year, you can also use more phosphorus fertilizers, which have a flowering-promoting effect. The plant will have sufficient nutrients for blooming, resulting in more and better flowers.
How to cultivate 锦晃星 to bloom more
Do not water too much during the growth period of 锦晃星. Over-wet soil can cause the stems and leaves to grow excessively and lose ornamental value. Generally, water only when the soil is completely dry. In winter, excessive water can cause root rot and death. In summer, the plant goes dormant, and the leaves will gradually fall off, leaving only a few at the top. During this time, the plant grows slowly. During the dormant period, water once a month at most, without watering thoroughly, just to maintain the plant's life. During the midsummer dormant period, pay attention to ventilation and shading.
