How to care for the longevity flower bonsaiThe editor answers for everyone how to care for the longevity flower bonsai and the maintenance knowledge of potted longevity flowers in the aspect of green plant care. Let's learn about it together below.Many people like to grow longevity flowers because they have a large number of flowers and a long blooming period, able to bloom from autumn all the way to April or May of spring. Isn't that a long blooming period? But what issues should we pay attention to when growing longevity flowers in pots at home to ensure they do not have problems and continue to grow and bloom?The first point is to choose a suitable pot and well-configured soil. The root system of longevity flowers is not deep or very developed, so we do not need to choose a large pot for growing longevity flower bonsai in the home. Pots like gallons are not suitable for them. We need to choose a shorter and more breathable pot. The soil must also be breathable, water-permeable, and nutrient-rich. When planting it, I usually mix珍珠岩 (perlite), 蛭石 (vermiculite), and peat soil in a 1:1 ratio. We can also buy ready-made nutrient-rich soil and add half river sand or other granular materials like coal slag, volcanic rock, etc.The second point is to get adequate sunlight. Longevity flowers are light-loving plants and need sunlight to bloom. They are typical short-day plants. If you want the longevity flowers to bloom, they should be exposed to 4-8 hours of sunlight every day, and kept in the dark for the rest of the time. They can produce flower buds within a month. Therefore, if they grow slowly or do not grow in summer, slightly shade them to block 50% of the sunlight, and arrange sunlight according to their blooming season.The third point is watering and fertilizing. Longevity flowers are also a type of succulent plant, but they grow fast. Therefore, watering is usually done when the potting soil is half dry. Since they have many fine roots and not deep roots, watering should be done promptly when the soil is half dry. Fertilizers should be chosen according to the growing and blooming seasons. Use multi-element or nitrogen-rich fertilizers during the growing season, and phosphorus and potassium-rich fertilizers, like Huaduo No. 10 and Huaduo No. 2, during the blooming season. Apply 2-3 times a month, but do not use too high a concentration. This way, they will grow vigorously in the growing season and bloom quickly in the blooming season.How to care for the longevity flower bonsaiThe fourth point is to prune properly. Improper pruning can prevent the longevity flowers from blooming. Therefore, do not prune them before you want them to bloom, especially in autumn. After pruning, they will grow lateral buds, which will produce flower buds when they reach a certain height. If you剪掉 (cut off) the lateral buds immediately after they appear, this will prevent blooming. In their growing season, if you want more lateral buds for more flowers in the later stage, you should保留 (retain) 2-3 pairs of leaves and剪掉 (cut off) the top part. After cutting, they will quickly grow 2 or even 3 lateral buds. When the lateral buds grow taller, prune them again until autumn. This will ensure lush growth and many lateral buds, resulting in an abundant bloom with dozens or even hundreds of flowers.For potted longevity flowers at home, these things must be done well. If you do them properly, you will not have any problems with your longevity flowers. Ensure adequate water and fertilizer, suitable sunlight, well-configured soil, and a certain degree of ventilation, and they will continue to grow and bloom abundantly in the blooming season, producing dozens or even more flowers at once.The specific content of how to care for the longevity flower bonsai and the maintenance knowledge of potted longevity flowers shared in this article is forbidden to be copied without permission from www.lvzhimi.com.
