In order to make longevity flowers bloom luxuriantly, it is necessary to choose varieties with rich colors and place them in a well-lit and well-ventilated environment. Watering is dry and wet, fertilization is applied once a month during the growing season, and fertilizer is stopped in winter. Trim the shape regularly, change the pot at the right time, maintain a suitable temperature difference, and control the density. With such maintenance, longevity flowers can grow healthily and add color to life.
Here are a few steps you can take to make your care process fun and rewarding:
Pick the star breed
Just like picking a movie star, choose those varieties with compact, colorful flowers, which are like natural cast and crew, and it is easier to perform a wonderful "flower language" drama on a flower pot.
Arrange a comfortable living environment
Kalanchos love to be embraced by the sun, but too much warm sunlight in summer can cause them to sunburn their leaves, so place them in a well-ventilated area with just the right amount of sunlight to allow them to enjoy a comfortable life.
Watering should be artistic
Watering longevity flowers is an art. Wait for the top layer of the soil to dry before watering them thoroughly, just like giving them a refreshing bath, but remember to avoid waterlogging and let the small fish swim around in the water. Keep the potting soil slightly moist, generally watering once every 3-6 days.
Fertilization should also be strategic
During the growing season, longevity flowers are like greedy piglets, and they need to be fed a little bit of thin fertilizer every 1-2 weeks to let them eat well and grow strong. Use water-soluble fertilizers or slow-release fertilizers, such as Huaduoduo No. 1 and No. 2, potassium dihydrogen phosphate, etc. But in the winter, when the piglets are going to lose weight, they can stop fertilizing and let them stay in shape.
Prune with the big picture
Proper pruning is like styling longevity flowers, keeping them well ventilated and lit to make them healthier and more beautiful. Moreover, timely pruning after flowering is the key to promote the growth of side branches, like cutting ribbons, leaving room for new life to bloom.
Repotting is a technical job
According to the growth of the plants, give them a bigger home - potted plants. Ensure that the soil is breathable and fertile so that they can thrive in their new home.
The temperature difference adds spice to life
Longevity flowers like a little stimulation and like a certain temperature difference. Move to a cooler place in the summer and stay warm in the winter so they can bloom better.
Control density and personalize your space
If the plants are too tightly knit, divide or transplant them appropriately, leaving enough space for each plant to express their individuality freely. Inspect the plants in time, control pests and diseases, and keep the plants healthy and conducive to flowering.
Through these maintenance and management, longevity flowers can grow healthily and happily under your care, adding a touch of brilliant color to your life, and allowing you to linger in the sea of flowers.
