First, the flowering mechanism
If you have planted Jiulixiang, you will find that its flowers bloom on old branches, not on new branches, if you continue to prune, there will be more woody branches, the amount of flowering is quite rich, if the young branches of Jiulixiang grow vigorously, the amount of flowers will be reduced.
In the process of planting Jiulixiang, there is no need to prune frequently, although it is very resistant to pruning, but too frequent pruning will make new branches grow more and the amount of flowers will be reduced. It is a very good ornamental plant, in the early stage of growth, diligent pruning, in the later stage, the branches grow more, to be properly pruned, in order to ensure that the plant is perfect.

Second, shine more sunlight
It likes a warm, humid environment, only under the sun, can grow vigorously, to ensure more than 6 hours of direct light every day, the flowering effect is better, more flowers, more fragrance is stronger. When the weather is hot, it is also necessary to shade the sun properly, otherwise the leaves of the nine incense will also turn yellow and wilt.
If the potted plant plant nine incense, the moisture should be sufficient, planting nine incense, can also be maintained in a semi-shaded environment, long time to receive astigmatism irradiation, although it can also flower, the amount of flowers is quite small, raised in the perennial place where there is no sunlight, it will not flower at all, the long branches will affect the effect of the plant, and the flowers will not have fragrance.
This is why some people say that the jiuli incense in the home has no fragrance at all, because of the lack of sunlight.
Third, the temperature should be suitable
Its hardiness is relatively poor, planted in the north, the temperature should be maintained above 5 degrees, in order to safely survive the winter, which is also one of the reasons why friends in the north are reluctant to plant nine incense. In fact, you can plant indoors, although the winter is cold, but the indoor heating, suitable for planting nine incense, the best planting temperature is between 18 degrees and 30 degrees.
Fourth, choose the potting soil
Growing Jiulixiang at home, the soil must be sparse, good sex, good breathability, it is best to use the soil in the garden, perlite and peat soil, in a 5:2:3 ratio, mixed together, fermentation for half a month, and then plant Jiulixiang, growth more vigorously. You can also add some white vinegar and some bottom fertilizer to make the soil more vigorous.
Only by meeting the requirements of good air permeability and looseness can we achieve a state of wet circulation, avoid long-term drought or long-term humidity of the soil, and ensure the healthy growth of Jiulixiang.
Fifth, water and fertilizer should be ensured to be sufficient
Watering Jiulixiang, can not use tap water, long-term watering with tap water, will lead to an increase in alkaline substances in the soil. If you want to grow Jiulixiang well, you should regularly supplement acidic fertilizer, phosphate fertilizer, nitrogen fertilizer, potassium fertilizer is more suitable for Jiulixiang.
