They are also very easy to care for. Moreover, longevity flowers symbolize beauty, representing health and longevity. Placing a pot at home is not only auspicious and joyous but also has lush leaves and flowers that are a pleasure to behold. Today, the little flower shares 4 tips on how to care for longevity flowers.1. SoilThe soil for cultivating longevity flowers is very important. It prefers loose, fertile, and well-drained soil. As a succulent plant, the soil must be mixed with some river sand and garden soil. If there is no river sand, you can also add some granular soil. Remember, you cannot use heavy clay soil, as it can lead to poor growth, root rot, and yellowing leaves, or even poor growth of the entire plant. Many flower enthusiasts directly choose succulent soil, which is a good choice. Longevity flowers hate waterlogging, so the soil should have good drainage. Some flower enthusiasts even cultivate directly with sand and add a little organic fertilizer water when watering, which also works well.2. LightAlthough longevity flowers enjoy sunlight, they need to be shaded during the blooming period to prevent the petals from dehydrating due to sun exposure. However, insufficient light for a long time before blooming can lead to few flower buds and dull flower colors. Therefore, during the hot summer, it is important to provide shade and protect from the sun. The optimal temperature for its growth is between 15-25 degrees Celsius. In summer, it should not exceed 30 degrees, and in winter, it should not be below 5 degrees.How to cultivate the longevity flower3. WateringSince longevity flowers are drought-tolerant and prone to root rot, the watering principle is: do not water until the soil is dry, and water thoroughly when you do. Unlike other plants, which require more watering in the summer to ensure moisture, longevity flowers need less water. Therefore, they should be placed in a well-ventilated and shady area, and it is fine not to water for 3-5 days. However, they should not be left outside in the rain during summer, as this can easily cause root rot and leaf yellowing. It is better to keep the potting soil a bit dry. Also, do not water too much in winter. Place it on the indoor balcony to bask in the sun. As long as the surrounding temperature is low, it won't die without watering for half a month. Usually, watering every ten days or so is enough. Longevity flowers fear excessive watering and poor drainage, which can lead to soil becoming too wet and root rot.4. FertilizerFertilizing longevity flowers depends on the condition of the potting soil. If the base fertilizer is sufficient, you can fertilize less or not at all. If the plant is not growing well, you need to apply thin fertilizer more frequently. Before flowering, apply more phosphorus-containing fertilizers to help blooming. For regular maintenance, apply thin fertilizers frequently, such as fermented rice water, and in September, you can water with some monopotassium phosphate to help promote new buds and flower buds.The above introduction of how to cultivate the longevity flower and the experience of cultivating and managing green plants and flowers on the Green Enthusiast Network [www.lvzhimi.com] hopes to bring you some help in life!
