Growth characteristics of longevity flower
Longevity flower is a sunny plant and has a certain demand for sunshine. We must ensure sufficient sunshine in spring and summer, which can promote the synthesis of nutrients and ensure flowering.
Summer maintenance method of longevity flower
Lighting: When the temperature is too high in summer, the longevity flower must reduce the lighting during the dormancy period, and move to the shade, and spray more water to reduce the leaf temperature to maintain humidity.
Ventilation: open the window and let the air circulate. Longevity flowers are best placed behind larger plants, which can not only shade the sun but also promote growth. Water once a week, or after the soil dries.
Summer watering method
It's best to water the longevity flowers in summer in the morning, not at noon, because the temperature is high at noon. If you water it at this time, it will not only not replenish water to the longevity flower, but will affect its growth. Moreover, the temperature in the morning and evening is also suitable, which can better supplement the water needed by the longevity flower.
Fertilization skills in summer
Fertilizing longevity flowers must not be too early. When the branches are one or two centimeters long, not much organic fertilizer should be applied, not very thick compound fertilizer. Experienced people will choose 1500 times potassium dihydrogen phosphate solution, add a little urea to promote the growth of branches, and of course, a small amount of special fertilizer solution can also be used.
Matters needing attention in summer cultivation of longevity flower
Potted longevity flowers are not recommended in summer. Even if they are exposed, there should be shadows. Don't bask in the sun all the time. Where there is plenty of sunshine, half the shade is enough.
Prevent yellow leaves from falling off in summer
1, water control: it is recommended to control water conservation for Changshouhua to keep the basin soil dry. When the leaves wither, they will be watered with some wet water, and the yellow leaves will fall off. On the other hand, it is easy to promote growth and stifle roots, which is not good for summer.
2, no fertilization: no fertilization, after fertilization in summer, the longevity flower breaks the dormancy, then the longevity flower will consume nutrition and grow more ineffective buds, which is not conducive to the longevity flower in summer.
3, shading and sun protection: Changshouhua suggested not to directly expose to the sun, but to shade and maintain, change the environment, maintain in the corner of the sun, and maintain normally after germination in autumn. It is not difficult to bloom and burst the pot.
How can hot weather not wither?
It is hot in summer, so you can spray some water around the long-lived flower seedlings, which can cool down and increase the air humidity, which is more conducive to the growth of flower seedlings.
Pruning longevity flowers in summer is also important. Pruning all overgrown branches and leaves and residual flowers will not only make the plants more beautiful, but also reduce the consumption of nutrients and make it easier to spend the summer.
