Key Points for Planting and Blooming Chocolate Flowers
1. Chocolate flowers are small shrubs that can bloom throughout the year, preferring sunny conditions and being drought-resistant but flood-sensitive. They require care in a sunny location and should not be placed in a dark environment. During the growing season, foliar fertilization can be applied, and compound fertilizer can be supplemented. Phosphorus and potassium fertilizers should be increased once the inflorescence appears.
2. Chocolate flowers can be pruned into a single trunk or small shrub shape, or a common shrub shape when they reach a certain stage. However, chocolate flowers have a weakness: they are sensitive to cold and require temperatures above 28 degrees Celsius to bloom. The best blooming temperature is between 30-35°C. Therefore, it is difficult for them to bloom in northern winters. If temperatures are low in winter, measures to keep warm need to be taken.
