People who have grown Lijinhua, affectionately call the emerald green buds "green jade," with petals resembling a string of bells, and the color can also be yellow, bright and eye-catching. For those who have not seen Lijinhua, let me give you a brief introduction to the knowledge about Lijinhua. If you have already grown it, see if there are any tips you don't know about growing Lijinhua.
The golden Lijinhua looks like a string of golden bells, and it is also large in size, with a strong fragrance. It loves sunlight and warmth. I don't know who gave it the nickname "the bride of the sun." The flower language of Lijinhua is also very healing, called "happiness is sure to come." It feels like once you plant it, happiness will knock on your door! If you have a courtyard at home, a large pot of Lijinhua basking in the sun will add a touch of spring to the garden.
I. Planting
Lijinhua is not a small flower and needs a larger pot to accommodate it, not only in width but also in depth. Choosing a pot with a deep base is the right choice. It also has a long flowering period and likes to grow in warm places. Depending on the region of the flower enthusiasts, the time for planting Lijinhua is different. Taking the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River as the boundary, southern flower enthusiasts plant it in autumn, while northern flower enthusiasts need to plant it in spring. Lijinhua requires soil that is both breathable and has good drainage, such as sandy soil, river sand, or humus soil. After laying the soil, a thin layer of fertilizer can be added appropriately.
II. Watering
Lijinhua is a flower that likes water, but like most flowers, it should not be watered too much to avoid积水. When watering, ensure that the water can penetrate the Lijinhua without accumulating water, preventing the harmful consequences of root rot. When Lijinhua enters the flowering stage, just keep the soil moist and reduce the amount of watering slightly.

III. Sunlight
In summer, you need to take measures to protect Lijinhua from the sun, ensuring that it gets enough daily sunlight while avoiding sunburn. In autumn, when the ultraviolet radiation is not strong, you can put Lijinhua and other flowers on the balcony to bask. After the temperature cools down, I also move all the flowers at home to the windowsill for sunbathing. If Lijinhua is not well exposed to sunlight during maintenance, it may only grow branches without flowering. Remember to let it get more sun.
IV. Fertilizer
Any flower, when fertilized, gets an extra layer of protection. Regarding the choice of fertilizer for Lijinhua, I have already filtered it for you. It is recommended to use nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium fertilizer. When applying fertilizer, we need to control the amount and try to spread a thin layer of fertilizer. The fertilizing time should be controlled within two months, ensuring that it can be fertilized 7 times within two months.
V. Pest Control
Although Lijinhua looks sunlit, it can also get pest diseases like other potted plants at home, such as being invaded by aphids. If not properly guarded against, leaf spot or wilt disease may also occur, which can be very troublesome. What should you do if there are pests? You can use homemade disinfectant water to kill pests. For those who are not familiar with disinfectant water, you can check my previous articles, or you can use special insecticides to deal with aphids, etc. If you just discovered aphids and they haven't spread throughout the plant, you can first rinse them off with a water gun, making sure to lay the pot down carefully to avoid damaging the petals.
