In a blink of an eye, the National Day holiday is coming to an end and the season is coming to late autumn. The current temperature has dropped a lot compared to early autumn, and many areas have dropped below 30 degrees. At this time, the flowers, plants and plants began to grow rapidly again. Because the weather is too hot in summer, under the high temperature, many plants have entered dormant and stopped growing.
For example, longevity . In summer, this plant grows very slowly and is dormant. In autumn, it begins to burst out with vitality. The plant Changshouhua is suitable for growing at around 15 to 25 degrees, so if you have friends who are caring Changshouhua at home, you should hurry up and prune and fertilize the Changshouhua during this period of time.
We carefully maintain it during its growth period, and it will soon grow into a big flower ball, and there will be no leaves when it blooms. The flowers are dense, the plants are compact, and the meaning is also very auspicious, which means longevity and good luck. It is suitable for -year-old flowers at home. Of course, if you give gifts to the elderly, it is also very good to give a few pots of longevity flowers during the Chinese New Year.
The plant of Changshouhua can also be called a lazy flower, and it is not difficult to raise it. The flowering period of Changshouhua is relatively long, and its meaning is relatively auspicious. Longevity flowers are usually planted in flower pots, and the plants are also very small and exquisite. You can maintain Longevity flowers regardless of whether the space in the home is wide or not.
can bloom on the balcony for more than 100 days. The flowering period of a single flower is 3 months. It is an unknown "longevity" flower, because most plants only bloom for more than ten days, and some flowers even wither after only one day of blooming. For these short-lived flower plants, longevity flowers are more worthy of maintenance.
What's more, this kind of flower plant looks very beautiful and charming when it blooms, and its bright colors look pleasing to the eye. There are also many varieties of longevity flowers. If friends like this kind of flower, the range of choices is quite large. We want longevity flowers to bloom in winter, so maintenance is very important at this time. So how should we maintain longevity flowers in autumn so that they can grow better?
1, How to prune in autumn
0 Longevity flower grows slowly in summer and almost no need to prune it, so that it can spend the summer peacefully. But in autumn, the situation is completely opposite. In autumn, longevity flower has a suitable growth temperature. It will continue to grow side branches and branches will continue to grow. If we want its plants to grow vigorously and grow round and beautifully, we must prune it more during this season. If you can't prune, you can keep 2 pairs of leaves for each branch.
that is, 2 pairs of buds, and you will prune everything else. Don't be reluctant to leave, because the buds of Changshouhua are very fast. If you cut off a branch, two will pop up from the side, and the flowering will double. Therefore, the process of growing Changshouhua is to constantly prune and continuously promote the growth of lateral buds.
However, don't take a vacation to Changshouhua after November, because at this time, the buds have emerged and some are emerging. If you prune blindly, you may trim all the potential buds, and you will have been in vain for the year.
After we prune the longevity flower, it is best not to throw away the cut branches, because these branches can be used to cultivate the seedlings of the longevity flower. Pruning the longevity flower is actually very important because its flowers mainly grow on the top of its branches. If we ignore the problem of pruning, the shape of the plant it grows is not very beautiful. After we prune, it can grow more side branches, thereby improving its flowering rate.
2. Fertilize the longevity flowers more in autumn
. We talked about pruning the longevity flowers. After pruning, the longevity flowers want to restore their state and grow a large number of side branches, which requires huge nutrients to support them. Therefore, at this time, we should supplement it with more fertilizer to give it better growth conditions.We can sprinkle some slow-release fertilizer into the flower pot, or spray some nutrient solution or phosphorus and potassium fertilizer on its leaves. Generally, spraying about three times a month is enough.
The leaves of this plant have tiny pores. We spray fertilizer on its leaves, and it can also be absorbed. However, it is best to pay attention to the concentration of fertilizer when using it to avoid burns of the leaves of the longevity flower due to excessive fertilizer. You can use Huaduoduo No. 1 and spray or water it at a ratio of 1:1000 to promote the growth of branches and leaves. By November, it will be replaced with Huaduoduo No. 2 or potassium dihydrogen phosphate. These phosphorus and potassium fertilizers promote flowering.
3. Longevity flower is a plant with short sunshine, but this aspect is also indispensable. It should be exposed to the sun for more than four hours every day, so that the leaves of Longevity flower can become more green and thick. If the longevity flower cannot meet the demand for sunshine, its branches will easily grow too long, and will not even bloom in the end, or the amount of flowers will become smaller. So in the autumn, we must not ignore the sunshine problem. Give the longevity flower plenty of sunshine to help its bud growth.
In autumn, longevity flowers not only grow very quickly, but also are also a good season for cuttings. We can also perform cuttings during this season to cultivate new longevity seedlings. So if friends like this plant, they can also start to cultivate it at this time.
As long as friends follow the above methods to maintain the longevity flowers, they will definitely bloom a large number of flowers in winter. The method is not difficult. You can easily cut dozens of longevity flowers. Even if you use a leaf, you can cut them to survive. It is really a lazy flower. Friends who like flowers, don’t miss it.
