Pot plants should use fertile garden soil, leafy soil and river sand in accordance with the ratio of 1:2:1 preparation, if you can add a small amount of bone meal preparation will be better. When the seedling grows to 10 centimeters, it needs to be appropriately centered 1~2 times to promote the sprouting of lateral buds, so that it can be formed as soon as possible.

2, light

Growing period in addition to the need for shade in the summer, to maintain 60% light transmission, the other seasons of normal light is good, try not to overshade, otherwise it is very easy to cause the branches of futile, plant loose.

During the growth of long life flowers need to often rotate the pot, adjust the position of the light, so that it is uniformly exposed to light, to promote the growth of the plant to all sides of the proportional development.

3, watering

Longevity flowers and other plants are not the same, it contains more water, more resistant to drought. So don't water too much during the growing period, keep the potting soil dry as well, and each watering should wait until the potting soil is dry before watering, generally 3~4 days watering; dry weather, can spray in the surrounding environment to increase humidity.

4, fertilization

Longevity flowers should be fertilized in the spring and autumn growing season and after flowering. Generally 15 to 20 days can be applied once a thin liquid fertilizer, or in the potting soil surface of the long-lasting slow-release fertilizer, can make the plant grow strong and bloom luxuriantly. In order to promote its more flowers, colorful flowers and long flowering period, after the formation of flower buds, you can increase the application of 0.2% potassium dihydrogen phosphate liquid 1~2 times to increase the content of potassium. Stop fertilizing in winter.

5, pruning

To keep a good life flower, pruning is essential. When the growth season of long-life flowers is in full swing, it is necessary to remove the center in time to promote branching, so that the potted flower grows more abundantly. Cut off the residual flowers in time after the flowers are gone, so as not to consume too much nutrients and affect the quality of the next bloom.

6, notes

Longevity flowers for succulents, do not like too much water, watering is best before noon watering, before dark to ensure that the leaves are dry. The water is slightly acidic, and the salt content cannot be too high.

Longevity flowers grow well in full sunlight or 60% to 70% diffused light. But need to pay attention to the intensity of light, insufficient light is easy to make the plant futile, slender branches, thin and small leaves. Lack of light in late fall affects the differentiation of flower buds, reducing the number of flowers, can be appropriate artificial light.

Longevity flowers like warmth, growth temperature of 20 ℃ to 28 ℃, should not exceed 30 ℃ during the day, not less than 18 ℃ at night, the temperature is too high or too low will terminate its normal growth. After the winter temperature is lower than 8 ℃, the leaves turn red and the flowering period is delayed.
