How can we raise longevity flowers? Do the following three maintenance, and you will be able to explode!
1. Pay attention to pruning and topping.
In the cold winter, the temperature is low, although some branches of the longevity flower are in bloom, it is easy to drop flowers and it is more difficult to grow new branches and leaves. Some flower lovers will choose to prune and pinch the tips of longevity flowers during this period. Personally, they don't agree, because it will be difficult to grow new buds, let alone a lot of buds, when topping in this cold season.
I personally suggest that if you want to top the longevity light, it is best to choose spring and autumn to promote the growth and differentiation of branches and buds, so that more buds will appear.
2. Keep enough light.
Cultivation of longevity flowers must maintain sufficient light. Although longevity flowers belong to short-day plants, they also need long-term sunlight exposure. Generally speaking, the illumination time should not be less than 5 hours a day. Keeping more than 5 hours of light will make flower buds differentiate more. The length of direct sunlight affects the color of leaves. If the sun shines for a long time, the leaves will become redder. Friends who want to enjoy the red leaves can try this sun drying method!
3. Maintain adequate nutrients
Fertilization should be used according to different growth periods. If it is during the growth period, then fertilizers with high nitrogen content should be used, and fertilizers with high phosphorus and potassium content should be used in flowering period, such as nutrient solution and organic liquid fertilizer, which contain complete nutrients and can promote growth and flowering. Topdressing once every half a month, so as to supplement nutrients to the longevity flower, it can explode smoothly.
Therefore, it is necessary to maintain the longevity flowers on the balcony so that they can bloom continuously. Has everyone mastered it? I'm Xiao Ju, and you can write it down if you find it useful!
