Next, the editor will introduce to the netizens.It's autumn now, September. At this time, the longevity flower has just gone through the summer dormancy period. When the temperature drops below 30 degrees, it begins to enter a state of growth. Longevity flower is a kind of flower that many flower enthusiasts have kept. Compared with orchids, azaleas, and geraniums, it is actually easier to raise. Not only is it easy to propagate by cuttings, but it also blooms more profusely. So, how to make the potted longevity flower bloom early, bloom more, and become more flowering and lush? How to care for potted longevity flowers?1. Pinch more to bloom moreThe blooming period of longevity flowers is usually around the Spring Festival, with a period of three to four months. In places with suitable temperatures, the blooming period is even longer. Some start to bloom in autumn, some in winter, and they can bloom all the way to spring, even close to summer.One thing to note is that except for the blooming period, it is necessary to pinch the branches frequently at other times. This way, it will grow more lateral branches and bloom more flowers. When one batch of flowers fade, removing the残花 (withered flowers) can stimulate the growth of the second set of flower buds.2. More fertilization for more bloomingAfter the blooming period, apply a dose of fertilizer, preferably organic fertilizer, such as cake fertilizer, chicken manure, sheep manure, etc.Then, during the summer dormancy period, stop fertilizing it, no fertilizer is needed at all. Place it in a place with scattered light, away from direct sunlight, with less water and light in summer.When summer is over and the temperature cools down in autumn, start fertilizing again, using phosphorus and potassium fertilizers or some slow-release fertilizers. Water with fertilizer every few days until flower buds appear.3. Controlling light time for timely blooming of longevity flowersIt is a half-day sun-loving flowering plant. If kept indoors, be careful not to let the night light shine on the longevity flower. If the longevity flower does not bloom during the blooming period, you can take measures such as exposing it to sunlight during the day and covering it with a black plastic bag at night, or placing it in a fully enclosed carton. This way of controlling light can effectively promote timely blooming and successful differentiation of flower buds. In summer, keep it in a cool and well-ventilated place, avoid excessive watering, and do not fertilize.In winter, keep it in a warm and sunny place at home. Although the longevity flower grows fast and blooms a lot, it is not suitable to use a large pot because its root system is shallow and sparse. If the pot is too large and the soil is too much, excessive watering can easily cause root rot, so a pot with a diameter of 15 to 20 centimeters is sufficient. To make the longevity flower bloom early and more profusely, it is necessary to pinch branches, fertilize, and control light.The above sharing on how to plant longevity flowers and the full content of the cultivation and management of longevity flowers can help you.
