How does the calathus bloom well
For most women, the knowledge of how the calathus blooms well and the skills of keeping the calathus healthy, the specific contents are as follows:
The calathus is often used as the bride's bouquet in weddings, symbolizing the unchanging loyalty of love. It is very beautiful when it blooms, and the flowers look like horseshoes, unique and lovely. Moreover, the color of calathus flowers is also very rich, basically all kinds of colors, especially the white calathus, combined with its flower language, is simply the favorite of flowers.
Although the calathus has such high appearance value, there are not many flower friends who take care of it at home. Many flower friends think that the calathus is very difficult to raise and is a typical one-time flower that basically does not rebloom, so they do not take care of it. This is actually due to some details not being handled well during our maintenance. Let's take a look with the flowers!
1. Reasonably control the amount of watering
The most important point in maintaining calathus is to control the amount of watering properly. Although it prefers a moist soil environment, excessive watering can cause the soil to accumulate water, affecting the normal respiration of the roots, and it is very prone to root rot.
When watering in normal times, we must wait for the soil to be completely dry before watering it. Generally, when the surface of the soil turns white, it is fine. If you don't know how to determine whether the soil is dry or not, you can insert a chopstick or bamboo stake into the pot and check its moisture level by looking at its wetness when watering.
In addition, to allow the water to be absorbed quickly and not accumulate, it is best to use a pot and soil with good breathability and water permeability.陶土盆 and purple sand pots are generally good choices. For soil mixing, you can choose to mix leaf mold soil with some perlite or river sand granular soil, and the proportion can be decided according to the maintenance environment. Since the air in the south is relatively humid, you can add more granular soil. As long as the pot and soil have good breathability, and combined with proper watering, the calathus can grow healthily, and the quality of its blooms will also greatly improve.

2. Maintain sufficient lighting
Although the calathus is relatively shade-tolerant and can be maintained in a semi-shaded environment, if you want to see more and better flowers from an ornamental plant, you can't do without sufficient lighting. The calathus must be exposed to more light after forming flower buds. It can be placed in direct sunlight during the spring, autumn, and winter seasons, and in the summer, it should be kept away from direct sunlight and placed in a place with plenty of scattered light.
If the plant is not exposed to enough light for a long time, both the leaves and flowers of the calathus will become very thin and small, and the color will also be very light, which is very unsightly. Therefore, sufficient lighting is a very important factor affecting the appearance of the calathus, and flower friends should not be complacent!
3. Supply sufficient nutrients
Blooming requires a lot of nutrients, so the calathus also needs sufficient nutrients during its growth. Since the calathus likes fertilizer, we generally apply a compound fertilizer with a focus on phosphorus and potassium elements, such as "Flower More 2," every ten days to promote better blooming of the calathus flowers.
