Flowers & Gardening 0 views
This is an ornamental plant, and it is mainly grown for its flowers; the more flowers it has, the more easily it attracts attention. So, what should we do to make it bloom more? First, supplement nutrients for it and apply more flower fertilizer rich in P; then pay attention to controlling water in early to mid-September; also pay attention to placing it in a spot with plenty of light in normal times to ensure sufficient sunlight.

1. Nutrients

To bloom and bloom abundantly, nutrients are of course indispensable. The nutrients it stores itself cannot supply many flower buds, so we have to supplement some for it. Generally, from April to July, liquid fertilizer must be applied once every one week to ten days or so. You can use fermented soybean cake or rapeseed cake water. You can also use human and livestock manure water. Starting in August, you also need to apply additional fertilizer rich in P, such as fermented animal manure and so on. The frequency of adding this kind of fertilizer can be controlled at once every ten days. However, note that the concentration should not be too high either. Otherwise, it is easy to burn the roots.

2. Water

To make it bloom more, water is also indispensable. However, starting in September, water control is needed. It will not last long, only about half a month. This does not mean not watering at all, but watering less. We need to judge whether to water by observing the state of the plant. When you see the potting soil drying out and the branches and leaves becoming soft and drooping, then you can water. And be sure to water thoroughly. Overall, the principles to follow are these two: "do not water if not dry" and "water thoroughly if you water." Also, note that during the water control stage, do not fertilize. Otherwise, the roots are very easily burned.

3. Light

For this plant, it is naturally light-loving. If it is in the flowering period and you want it to bloom more, then light is even more indispensable. During the flowering stage, we need to place it in a position with good light and also good ventilation. If you do this, you will find that the number of flowers is very large.
