How to properly care for and grow anlongevity flower
For many girls, knowing how to care for and cultivate longevity flowers, as well as the knowledge of flowers and gardening methods and skills, can definitely help you. Let's learn about it together!
There are many flowers suitable for growing on a balcony. If the balcony is large with enough space, we can plant some flowering roses, such as Juicy Balcony, Blue Rain, Blue Storm, etc. We can also raise a pot of blue snow flowers, which have a super long blooming period from spring to autumn. If the balcony is small, we can also grow some smaller flowers, such as kaffir lilies, longevity flowers, and orchids. Longevity flowers are very fond of blooming, drought-resistant, and easy to maintain, with a rich variety of colors, making them ideal for large or small balconies.
In autumn, when the temperature begins to drop slightly and the weather is cool, plants also start to show changes and vitality. This is also a good time to propagate some flowering plants through cutting. Longevity flowers are particularly easy to propagate through cuttings. Give it a try, and you will definitely succeed, growing smoothly, rooting successfully, and blooming beautifully, turning one pot into several pots, which is really simple. So how do you propagate longevity flowers through cuttings?
One, when propagating longevity flowers, you don't need long branches, just keep them with two leaves and a bud. This way, one branch can produce several seedlings. When propagating, the medium used can be very casual. Most soil can be used to propagate longevity flowers, as long as it's not as compact as stone and is loose and breathable, it's easy to survive. Coconut soil, pearl rock, vermiculite, and peat-based nutrient soil are all feasible.
Two, when propagating longevity flowers, you should pay attention to watering. If the soil is moist, slightly damp, after propagating, do not water thoroughly immediately. You don't need to water frequently either. It's fine to wait ten days or a half-month before watering. Just wait for the soil to dry a bit, or even completely dry before watering, but don't water too much as it can easily cause the branches to rot or become black and decay.

Three, another point is that after propagating longevity flowers, they should be placed in a well-ventilated area, not exposed to direct sunlight. Placing them in a shaded or diffused light area is fine. In fact, after propagating, you don't need to check on them every day or water them frequently. Just water them when you remember, and they will root more easily. Eventually, you'll find that almost all the branches have rooted, and there are too many propagations to fit in pots.
If you are not very good at growing flowers, learning to propagate longevity flowers yourself means you can focus on growing them on your balcony. You don't have to worry about them when you go out, and you don't have to worry about watering them frequently. Moreover, it's very easy to propagate, with one branch capable of producing several plants.
Longevity flowers also have very few diseases and pests. If there is good ventilation indoors, it's rare to have diseases or pests. Even if there are, it's fine. If you don't want to spray pesticides, you can buy some sulfur powder. If you have powdery mildew, you can brush it off with a small brush, and it will be fine. Longevity flowers have a long blooming period, lasting several months. Various colors can be propagated, and you can grow a pot of each color and variety. When they bloom, they are colorful and full of flowers. It's time to propagate longevity flowers in autumn. Try this method, and they will root quickly, blooming in colorful hues in winter.
