When the temperature drops to below 30 degrees, it begins to enter a state of growth. The long-lived flower is a type of plant that many flower enthusiasts have cared for. Compared to orchids, azaleas, and geraniums, it is actually easier to cultivate. Not only is it easy to propagate, but it also blooms more profusely. So, how can we make the potted long-lived flower bloom earlier, produce more blooms, and become more lush? How to care for a potted long-lived flower?1. Pinch more to promote bloomingThe flowering period of the long-lived flower is usually around the Spring Festival, lasting about three to four months. In places with suitable temperatures, the flowering period can be even longer. Some start blooming in autumn, some in winter, and continue blooming until spring, or even close to summer.One thing to note is that, except for the flowering period, it is necessary to frequently pinch the stems at other times. This promotes the growth of more lateral branches and more blooms. When one batch of flowers fades, promptly remove the withered flowers to encourage the growth of the second batch of flower buds.2. Fertilize more to promote bloomingAfter the flowering period, apply a dose of fertilizer, preferably organic fertilizer, such as cake fertilizer, chicken manure, or sheep manure.Then, during the summer dormancy period, stop fertilizing, no fertilizer is needed. Place it in a place with scattered light, away from direct sunlight, with less water and less light to survive the summer.Once summer is over and the temperature cools in autumn, start fertilizing again. You can use phosphorus-potassium fertilizer or some slow-release fertilizer. Water with fertilizer every three to five days until flower buds appear.How to care for a long-lived flower pot plant3.

When kept indoors, be careful not to let the light shine on the long-lived flower at night. If the long-lived flower does not bloom during the flowering period, you can try exposing it to sunlight during the day and covering it with a black plastic bag at night, or placing it in a completely sealed cardboard box. This way of controlling light can effectively encourage timely blooming and successful differentiation of flower buds. In summer, keep it in a cool and well-ventilated place, with less water and no fertilizer.In winter, place it in a warm and sunny spot in the house. Although the long-lived flower grows quickly and produces many blooms, it is not suitable for using a large pot because its root system is shallow and sparse. A large pot with more soil and excessive watering can easily cause root rot, so a pot with a diameter of 15 to 20 centimeters is sufficient. The long-lived flower should be pinched and fertilized more, and light exposure should be controlled to bloom early, produce more flowers, and become more lush!The above introduction on how to care for a long-lived flower pot plant and its cultivation techniques aims to provide green plant enthusiasts with some knowledge about flowers.
