Kalancho, also known as Christmas cabbage, is a perennial herb that is loved for its long flowering period and bright flower color. Many flower lovers want to be able to make longevity flowers bloom and burst, so let's share some tips and experiences.
First of all, in order for the longevity flower to bloom and burst, it must be given plenty of sunlight. Kalancho flowers like a sunny environment, so when maintaining them at home, you should choose a well-lit location. If the environment is too shady, it will affect the differentiation of flower buds, resulting in poor flowering.
Secondly, reasonable fertilization is also the key to making longevity flowers bloom and burst. Longevity flowers like fertilizer, but fertilization should be done in moderation and not in excess. During the growth period, compound fertilizer can be applied every 10 days or so, and potassium dihydrogen phosphate foliar fertilizer can be sprayed at the same time to promote the differentiation of flower buds. Before flowering, the amount of phosphorus and potassium fertilizers, such as bone meal, fish bone meal, etc., should be increased to provide sufficient nutrition and make the flowers more gorgeous.
In addition, controlling watering is also an important measure to make longevity flowers bloom and burst. Kalancho flowers prefer a moist environment, but overwatering can cause damage to the root system, affecting the growth of flower buds. Therefore, when watering, it is necessary to follow the principle of "seeing dry and wet", that is, watering after seeing the surface of the potting soil slightly dry, and watering thoroughly each time to ensure that the root system fully absorbs water.
In addition to the above points, pruning and pest control are also links that cannot be ignored to make longevity flowers bloom and burst. During the growth period, the branches should be pruned regularly to keep the plant neat and beautiful. At the same time, it is necessary to pay attention to the prevention and control of pests and diseases, such as aphids, powdery mildew, etc., and take measures to deal with them in time once found, so as not to affect the growth and flowering of plants.
To sum up, in order to make the longevity flower bloom and burst, it needs to be given sufficient sunlight, reasonable fertilization, controlled watering, pruning and pest control and other aspects of attention and care. Only in this way can longevity flowers thrive and bloom into beautiful flowers.
Of course, in the actual maintenance process, it is also necessary to flexibly adjust the maintenance method according to the specific situation. For example, in the summer high temperature, pay attention to spray water to cool down to prevent exposure to the sun and cause leaf wilting; In the winter when the temperature is low, it is necessary to pay attention to keeping warm and cold, and avoid the plant from freezing. At the same time, different varieties of longevity flowers may also have different growth habits and needs, so they should be adjusted according to the actual situation when maintaining.
In addition, propagation and cuttings can be carried out to make the longevity flowers more beautiful. The best season for breeding is usually spring. When propagating, you can choose the way of cuttings or dividing. When cuttings, strong shoots should be selected as cuttings, inserted into moist soil, maintained at the right temperature and humidity, and will take root and sprout after about a month. Dividing the mother plant into several small plants in the spring and planting them separately.
In short, it is not difficult to make longevity flowers bloom and burst, the key is to master the correct maintenance methods and skills. As long as it is given sufficient sunlight, reasonable fertilization, watering control, pruning and pest control, and other aspects of attention and care, and flexible adjustment of maintenance methods in combination with the actual situation, I believe that every flower friend can successfully raise beautiful and spectacular longevity flowers.
