Ginger lotus, as a beautiful ornamental plant, is loved by people for its unique fragrance and elegant posture. However, there is always a time when flowers will wither, and ginger lotus is no exception. So, what should we do with the flowers of the ginger lotus when they wither?
1.Treatment of residual flowers: Once a flower is found to be withering, it should be cut off immediately. This is to prevent the effects of residual flowers on other healthy flowers, such as infectious diseases or excessive consumption of nutrients. At the same time, regular inspection and removal of residual flowers can also keep the overall neatness and beauty of ginger lotus.
2.Shoot arrangement: In addition to pruning the residual flowers, it is also necessary to tidy the branches. Excessively long branches and yellowed leaves should also be cut off to promote better ventilation and light exposure to the plant.
4.Fertilization: Even though the flowers have withered, the plants still need nutrients to recover and prepare for the next flowering. Therefore, proper fertilization should be applied. It is recommended to use organic fertilizers, such as well-rotted animal manure or plant residues, to keep the soil fertile.
5.Watering: Making sure the soil is moist but not too wet is key. Too much water can cause root rot, while too little water can cause plants to wilt. It is recommended to use drip irrigation or watering cans for watering, which will ensure that you are well hydrated without causing too much water damage.
6.Pest control: Despite the withering of the flowers, ginger lotus flowers can still be attacked by various pests and diseases. Therefore, it is necessary to check the health of the plant regularly. If signs of pests and diseases are found, immediate measures should be taken to control them. A combination of biological and chemical control methods can be used, but it is important to ensure that the chemicals used are not harmful to the plant.
Summary: When the flowers of ginger lotus wither, we can promote the health and beauty of the plant by pruning the residual flowers, arranging the branches, fertilizing and watering properly, and controlling pests and diseases. This will not only keep the ginger lotus in good condition but also prepare it for its next bloom. During the handling process, we need to pay careful and patient attention to every detail to ensure that the plants are properly cared for and cared for.
