1, pay attention to environmental protection
In order to make longevity flowers bloom in winter and spring, autumn maintenance is very important. It is best to put the potted plants in a place with sufficient direct light to ensure that there is about 6 hours of light every day.
Too little light will make plants grow white and leaves grow too tender to bloom.
Step 2 pay attention to watering
Longevity flower is a succulent plant. Growth and maintenance is to pay attention to the dry soil before watering. In autumn, the temperature begins to drop, and the frequency of watering should also be reduced. You can let the soil dry for a few days before watering it.
The frequency of watering should not be frequent, and it can be watered according to the dry and wet conditions of the soil. Generally, only 3 cm of soil under the basin is dry before watering. Be careful not to spill it on the leaves.
3. Supplement fertilizer
In autumn, fertilizer can be properly supplemented to longevity flowers, which is helpful to form more flower buds, promote longevity flowers to bloom more, and avoid flower buds falling off after flowering.
In autumn, potassium dihydrogen phosphate is mainly added to longevity flowers to ensure sufficient phosphorus and potassium fertilizer, and the concentration should not be too high. Generally give 1~2 times a month. In addition, after diluting with water, don't pour it on the leaves.
4. Curing temperature
Care must be taken to keep the environment warm and avoid freezing. Generally, the minimum temperature of longevity flowers should be kept above 10. While keeping the environment warm, avoid placing it directly next to heating or air conditioning, and pay attention to proper ventilation.
5. Treatment of overgrown branches and leaves
If you find that the longevity gray has grown, you should trim it. Longevity flowers can't bloom without pruning. You can trim from the bottom of the rhizome, cut off the stems and leaves of the overgrown part, and carry out cutting propagation again.
If only some branches are white and long, they should be cut off in time to ensure that other branches can bloom normally.
In the growing period of longevity flowers, spring is the most suitable time for pruning. Generally, when the plant grows to about 15 cm, pinch it once to promote branching, so that it can bloom more.
Prune the branches for the second time when they are about 10 cm long to ensure the uniform growth of the plants.
6, flowering maintenance
After the longevity flower is fully open, the light can be appropriately reduced, which is conducive to prolonging the flowering period. After the longevity flower blooms, it is necessary to reduce watering to avoid root rot caused by excessive watering, which is easy to drop buds and shorten flowering period.
If withered flowers are found, they should be picked in time, which can promote secondary flowering and avoid excessive nutrient consumption.
