In the summer high temperature season, the basin soil should be dry, avoid dampness and prevent rotting roots. Sometimes the leaves will fall, and new leaves will grow again the next spring. When the soil temperature is very low in winter, warm water can be poured properly.

4. Fertilizer application

Luwei flower entered the growing period in May, applied nitrogen and phosphorus fertilizer for 1-2 times, and blossomed from June to October. Phosphorus-based fertilizer should be applied 1-2 times a month to make the flowers blossom continuously.

5. Pruning

Cut off withered branches, diseased branches, weak branches, over-dense branches and remnant flower stalks at any time to facilitate ventilation and light. Single petals should also cut off short and long branches to make them grow more lateral branches and bloom.

6. Pest control

Attention should be paid to the prevention and control of pests such as grubs, ground tigers, mole crickets and golden needles, and timely pruning of diseased and dead branches.
