1. Meet the "Goddess of Lausanne"
Goddess of Lausanne
Longevity Flower is so popular that it has given birth to many gardening companies specializing in cultivating and producing. New products are born every year, such as the popular Pink Paris, Green Paris, and the Golden Fox in 2018. The one introduced today is called "Laosanne Goddess". This year's "Internet celebrity" potted flower is currently attracting much attention and has a good review. It is a new product that many flower lovers are competing to buy.
plant shape is beautiful
Lausanne goddess, also known as canary, is unknown in the year of breeding. It appears around 2020 and is a variant of the "golden fox". Except for flowers, the plant shape looks the same as the golden fox, round and compact, and is specially designed for potted plants. It is very suitable for planting pots. Small pots with a diameter of 10-15 cm can be raised, mainly for viewing leaves and flowers.
flowers are beautiful,
The leaves of the goddess Lausanne are in the form of feathered leaves, with thick fleshy leaves and green all year round, with fleshy branches when young, woody when mature, with flowers growing on top and blooming in groups, with double petals in the shape of flowers, about the same size as a one-yuan coin, round and full, very similar to peony flowers and peony, the color of the flowers is golden + red, the outer layer is golden yellow, and the inner bright red is exactly the opposite of the golden fox (red + gold). It looks like a string of small ingots, shining, particularly funny, and has a high ornamental value.
blooms very well
In terms of flowering period, the goddess of Lausanne is similar to the golden fox, with outstanding flowering ability and can bloom all year round in the warm greenhouse. Therefore, no matter which season you pass by the flower market, the longevity flowers you see when you enter are full of buds. The natural flowering period is around the end of October and November, and it enters the flowering period around New Year's Day, and continues until late spring and early summer, blooming in autumn, winter and spring. The blooming season happens to be the coldest season in winter and spring, which makes up for the gap in the sight of flowers in winter and spring, and can bloom enthusiastically while the snow is covered.

The goddess Lausanne is the same as most longevity flowers. It is a typical "lazy plant". It has strong natural skin, strong adaptability to the environment, and is very simple to maintain. I like a warm and sunny growth environment, and can tolerate semi-shades, tolerate drought and barrenness, there are no diseases and pests, no obvious dormant period, and can grow in all seasons. The disadvantage is that it is not cold-resistant and needs attention to winter management.
3. Planting suggestions for the goddess Lausanne
Simple maintenance
Flower pot: It is recommended to use plastic flower pot , there are three benefits: First, it is light and easy to move, second, plastic pot has good breathability, third, it is more convenient to change the pot and change soil in the future;
Soil: Longevity is succulent plant . It likes loose, breathable, and humus-rich soil, such as peat soil and leaf-decay soil. It would be better to add some particulate matter such as perlite . Do not use garden soil completely;
Suitable environment: Longevity flowers like light and are also resistant to semi-shade. They can be exposed to all sun in spring, autumn and winter. They can be raised on the south balcony and the north balcony. The longevity flowers in my home are Put the northern balcony, the sunshine time is less than 3 hours a day, and the flowering period comes as scheduled every year;
Watering and fertilization: Watering follows the principle of "drying and wetness". Longevity flowers are drought-resistant plants. They like dryness rather than wetness. When the soil is dry, water them again. I usually water them once a week in spring and autumn. If the fertilizer is not high, and if it is based on nutrient soil, it is okay not to fertilize in the first two years. You can give a little thin fertilizer from the third year (in spring and autumn);
summer and wintering: When the weather is hot and high in summer, you should move to a cool and ventilated place to avoid direct sunlight. If the soil is dry, it is easy to hydrate in time. As long as it is not exposed to the sun, it is easy to spend the summer; it is not cold-resistant, and the wintering temperature should be above 5℃, and when it is below 5℃, it should be moved back to the room;
propagation: You can use cuttings to take semi-ripe branches, first plant water and take root, and you can transplant them after half a month. By continuously cutting, a pot can be turned into many pots.
