In winter, the table and windowsill can be placed with a pot of longevity flowers, it is a herbaceous plant, but the life is very long, just listen to the name, it is a very festive flower, with auspiciousness. There are many varieties of longevity flowers, the colors are gorgeous, the flowers are small and exquisite, the appearance is not high, but it does not take up space, it has a high appreciation value, the flowering time is in winter and spring, generally around October to November, it will gradually grow flower buds, if there is no movement, don't worry, learn a trick, you can burst flowers next month, it's really simple.
Longevity flowers like to grow in a sunny environment, if this is not clear, then it is not good, the amount of light per day is not less than 4 to 6 hours, more in the bright area of Guangnan, such as the window sill table or balcony are OK. Light is the first step in promoting flowering.
In addition, we should also pay attention to water control, especially for the vigorous longevity flowers, only long leaves do not bloom, but also reduce watering, so as to control the growth rate of leaves, to promote the differentiation of flower buds, to achieve the purpose of more flowering, early flowering.
In addition, you can also often use two kinds of water, before flowering repeated watering, about once every seven days, that is, Hua Duoduo No. 2 or potassium dihydrogen phosphate, dilute according to the proportion, directly irrigate into the pot, 3 to 4 times, you can grow a lot of large flower buds, the longer the more lush. These two liquid fertilizers are the most common in the flower industry, and they are cheap, safe and effective to use, and are a kind of fast-acting phosphorus and potassium fertilizer.
So, what other problems do you need to pay attention to when raising longevity flowers in winter?
Longevity flowers like to grow in a warm environment, and are not resistant to cold, if the surrounding temperature is below 5 degrees, be sure to move indoors in time, do a good job of keeping warm, otherwise it is easy to frostbite, and the whole army will be wiped out.
If the surrounding temperature is between 15 and 20 degrees, you can cut the sturdy leaves, dry the wounds and insert them in the sand, and they will survive in 10 to 15 days, and they will be able to bloom next year.
Now we start to put it in a light place, which can increase the surrounding temperature, increase the resistance of the plant, meet its growth needs, and promote flowering.
The flower roots of longevity flowers are relatively weak, the leaves are thick, and the water storage capacity is strong, so it is also more drought-tolerant, the soil should be dry rather than wet, and the watering should wait until the soil is completely dry before replenishing, not too often, watering once every three days, it may cause the root system to rot, and the flower buds will also fall off.
As we all know, the longevity flower is a relatively resistant flower, but before flowering must be carefully pruned, its flowers are grown at the top of the leaves, if you accidentally directly erase the top bud, it will greatly reduce the amount of flowering and even lead to no flowering that year. It is only necessary to remove the yellowed aging leaves, which can increase ventilation and light transmittance, and can also reduce consumption and make the appearance more beautiful.
In general, longevity flowers are a relatively easy to raise flowers, and the name is auspicious and auspicious, very suitable as a potted flower on the table and window sill, with a high appreciation value, during the period to ensure sufficient light, suitable water, with two fertilizers repeatedly watered, soon can grow large buds.
