pruning is an indispensable step in the process of maintaining longevity flower . In a year, pruning longevity flower requires twice. The first time is after autumn, longevity flower begins to resume growth. At this time, the growth rate of longevity flower will double. In order to better bloom high-quality petals in winter, we need to base the longevity flower, remove the top branches, and accelerate the differentiation of side branches.
The blossom of the longevity flower is more of a side branch. Moreover, the potted flowers do not need to grow too high. It is enough to control them to about 30cm. When they grow taller, nutrients will be lost, and they will bloom very little, which is not ornamental. The second time I am struggling is that after the first batch of flowers, we need to prune the broken flowers, so that we will soon usher in a second bloom.
How should we prune the longevity flower?
The method of pruning is very simple. Just cut off the branches at the top to keep the longevity flower a slightly shorter plant shape. You should know that the side branches will also grow in later stages. If not pruned, the overall branches will grow in a mess. The pruning is only for the longevity flower that has been more than 2 to 3 years old. You don’t need to worry about the longevity flower seedlings that were cut back then. First raise the pole and then prune it.
is like the longevity flower in the photo. Use scissors to prune the top branches. This is enough, because in autumn, for three months, there is enough time to promote the longevity flower to grow side branches. After pruning, appropriate top dressing should be done to increase light. Enough light can better perform photosynthesis and add blocks of side branches.
Another advantage of fertilizing the longevity flower is that it can promote the blooming of the longevity flower. However, fertilization must be done until it blooms. There is no need to use fertilizer in the early stage. If you use too much fertilizer, the branches of the longevity flower will grow and become denser, so that only the branches will not bloom. It is not too late to fertilize again in November and December every year. The longevity flower basically blooms from January to March every year.
The first time the petals will bloom longer. Before the petals have completely withered, cut them off with scissors, and the second flowering will soon be born. This is also a small trick to prolong the blooming of longevity flowers. Pruning the residual flowers will save nutrients. If the excess nutrients, the longevity flowers will not be consumed, and the secondary flower buds will be born. The second flowering time will be slightly shorter, and the number of flowers will be significantly reduced.
In autumn, longevity flowers must have sufficient sunlight, and can only be pruned on this basis. They cannot meet the sunlight and pruning has no effect. On the contrary, the side branches still do not grow big, which promotes the differentiation of side branches. It must be on the basis of light. If the light is lacking, longevity flowers cannot perform photosynthesis and their growth will also be hindered.
