Flowers & Gardening 0 views
This plant's vitality is truly tenacious, which matches its name perfectly; you could say that as long as it is given some soil, it will grow. It can also grow quite large, and its overall color is especially beautiful. In addition, it also has medicinal value. Nowadays everyone likes to grow this plant, but people who keep it may have a question in their hearts: will it actually bloom?

1. Blooming Period

As long as we know a little about this plant, we can clearly tell that it does bloom, and its blooming period is not short. Unlike flowers that last only about ten days, its blooming period generally lasts two months, specifically from January in winter all the way to March of the following year. Its filaments are relatively long, and its flowers hang downward. The flowers it produces are not only beautiful but also vivid, in two colors: light red and purple-red.

2. Nutrients

If the goal is simply to admire its flowers, we suggest not keeping this purpose in mind, because if Bryophyllum is going to bloom, it will consume a very large amount of nutrients. This also means that without sufficient nutrients it will not bloom, and it further means that after it finishes blooming, this plant is on the road to death. Therefore, it generally does not bloom, but most people now mistakenly believe that it cannot bloom.

3. Care

If you hope for it to bloom, we need to pay attention in the early stage to providing the nutrients it needs. The soil we use should be rich in nutrients, and we should also give it an appropriate amount of water at ordinary times. In addition, we should fertilize it, about twice a month, and we should not provide too much fertilizer each time just to give it excessive nutrients, as this can easily cause it to rot. In addition, we should also pay attention to pinching, to help it grow fuller.
