Longevity flowers are loved by people because of their auspicious meaning and long flowering period. However, some flower lovers find that the leaves of longevity flowers will be red during the maintenance process. So, what causes this? Let's analyze the specific reasons.
First, the redness of the leaves of the longevity flower is not a sign of illness, but a manifestation of the adaptation of the longevity flower to the environment. Kalancholia is native to the Andes region, where the climate is cold and the air is thin, so the leaves of kalancholia have a high content of anthocyanins, a substance that gives them a red color. This also means that after adapting to the new living environment, the longevity flower will show its vitality through the redness of the leaves.
Second, the redness of the leaves of longevity flowers is also related to the maintenance method. Many people like to keep the longevity flowers indoors and not see the sun for a long time. In fact, kalanchops need plenty of sunlight to keep their leaves vibrant. If left in a low-light environment for a long time, the leaves of the longevity flower will gradually turn red to show their desire for light. Therefore, when caring for longevity flowers, they should be placed in a sunny place to keep the leaves bright.
Third, the redness of the leaves of longevity flowers may also be related to improper fertilization. Longevity flowers have a high demand for fertilizer, and if they are not fertilized for a long time, or if they are applied too much, they may cause the leaves of longevity flowers to turn red. Therefore, it is necessary to master the timing and dosage when fertilizing, so as not to affect the growth of longevity flowers.
Fourth, sudden changes in the environment may also cause redness of the leaves of longevity flowers. Longevity flowers are more adaptable, but sudden changes in temperature, light, and humidity will still have an impact on longevity flowers. If the leaves of the longevity flower are red, you can observe whether there are any noticeable changes in the surrounding environment. In the process of maintenance, try to keep the environment as stable as possible, which helps the longevity flowers to regain their vitality.
In conclusion, the redness of the leaves of the longevity flower is not a bad thing, but a manifestation of its adaptation to the new environment and the desire for light and fertilizer. As long as we master the correct maintenance methods, longevity flowers will thrive and bring us beautiful visual enjoyment.
