How to care for a四季海棠 pot plant
About the knowledge of how to care for a 四季海棠 pot plant and the maintenance of 四季海棠 flowers in the aspect of green plants and flowers, the following is a comprehensive introduction.
Also known as 四季秋海棠, this variety of begonia can bloom all year round, but there is a prerequisite condition: it requires sufficient and suitable temperature and fertilizer. If our 四季海棠 has developed flower buds but they do not bloom, what is the reason? How should we care for it to make it bloom?
Firstly, the first point is due to unsuitable temperature. For example, in the early stage of autumn, it grows flower buds, but when the indoor temperature is relatively low in winter, it fails to meet the conditions for flowering and growth. Therefore, it keeps the flower buds in a dormant state without growth or leaf fall, which is quite normal. We need to ensure that the maintenance environment is above 15 degrees Celsius, so that it can remain in a growing state and fully develop the flower buds to bloom.
The second reason is due to insufficient fertilization. Since any plant's growth and flowering are inseparable from the supplement of fertilizer, for instance, if our 四季海棠 has developed flower buds, it indicates that we had sufficient nutrients in the early stage. However, if the soil lacks nutrients later on and we do not supplement it with fertilizer, it will result in the flower buds remaining in a僵花 state, not growing but staying in place. As long as we supplement it with adequate fertilizer, choosing one high in phosphorus and potassium content, it will be able to fully grow and bloom the flower buds. Therefore, fertilizer must be sufficient.

The third point is to provide it with sufficient lighting. 四季秋海棠 is also a light-loving plant, but it is afraid of direct sunlight. We need to ensure it gets at least 2-3 hours of sunlight every day to ensure its flowers bloom normally. If it is kept in a dark place for a long time, its flower buds may fall off, or it may even fail to bloom. This point must also be known.
Caring for a 四季海棠 pot plant at home is very simple. We need to keep the ambient temperature between 15-30 degrees Celsius, and try to keep it below 30 degrees. When watering, we should water it thoroughly when the topsoil is dry to a depth of 1-2 centimeters. Choose a fertilizer high in phosphorus and potassium content without lacking other elements, such as Huaduo No. 2, applying it 2-3 times a month following the principle of applying thin fertilizer frequently. Then, place it in a well-ventilated area with some scattered sunlight, and it will continue to grow, producing flower buds and blooming continuously.
