When in full bloom, clusters of blue-green flowers, set off by red bracts, are particularly gorgeous and can last up to two months.

The tip of the leaf is obtuse, green, and coated with a layer of silver-white. The leaf surface is irregular in color and dark green stripes and patches.

What if the lucky flower withers?

I. Reasons

If its flowers wither normally, then its life is about to end. If you don't want to raise them again, you can throw them away.

2, if it is not normal flowers, it may be received too much sunlight, it likes wet semi-shade zone, do not let the sun shine on it for a long time, put it on the window with light and ventilation.

3. It is also possible that the flower core lacks the water it needs. At this time, it is necessary to water the leaves. Pouring in the mud has no effect. If watering the pot soil, wait until the surface of one to two centimeters of soil is dry before watering, do not be too wet will hurt the roots.

II. Disposal

After it withers, it should be removed in time, which will not cause harm to it. Then water it with soluble fertilizer, which can also be poured together with watering the leaf cup. If it is granular fertilizer, it can only be poured into the soil. When the new bud grows, cut it from the mother plant and plant it in a pot. After flowering once, the flower will not bloom again and can be kept to breed new plants.

Lucky Flower Care

1. Temperature

If the temperature is too low, the flower bracts fade and the leaves turn yellow and dry. It likes warm water, preferably 21 to 28 degrees during the day and 18 to 21 degrees at night. Do not put it in hot weather more than 35 degrees, it is not good for its growth. Do not put it in an environment of only ten degrees for a long time, its growth will slow down, and the color of leaves and flowers will be affected.

2. Light

The light should be in the range of 108,000 to 25,000 lux. If it is too strong, the leaves will be burned. If it is too dark, the development will not be good. Humidity should be in the range of 75% to 85%, if below 50% leaves will curl up.

3. Watering

The water used to pour it should be dried for two or three days first, sprinkled in its "cup", not directly sprinkled into the soil. Because the soil inside the basin is very wet, but there is no water in the cup, it will also yellow leaves and grow poorly.
