Therefore, friends who do not meet the requirements outside in winter must put them indoors. Once it reaches 5℃, they will grow very slowly, the flowers will be very few, and even there is no way to bloom, even if a few flowers open, the color is not as bright as normal.

Thin fertilizer can be applied until mid-December, and then no fertilizer can be applied. The first flowering usually occurs in November, but the second flowering is a little later, usually in December. Before budding, you can use some fertilizer with more P content, so that flowers can bloom better. If you spray gibberellin on the buds and stems, it can also make flowers bloom faster.
