Last Updated: 2024/12/23, This kind of flower blooms thickest before and after the Dragon Boat Festival every year. Now the figure of this plant can be seen in many places selling flowers on the market. It is red in white, like beads in the mouth of the dragon, so it has the name. So what should be done in the process of taking care of it so that it will have more flowers?

1. Pruning

If you want it to grow fast, it's like pruning it frequently, otherwise it won't blossom. It blossoms for a long time, and if you take good care of it, it can even bloom for a whole year. After its flowers are withered, the residual flowers should be removed, and then there is no need to prune them and give it enough water and fertilizer. It can continue to grow flowers.

2. Moisture

It should be watered enough during its growth time, the flowerpot and soil should be kept wet, do not sprinkle too much water on the flower when it is blooming, and do not splash water on the flower when watering. In winter, it will stop growing and go into dormancy, and then it can stop watering. Watering should be controlled, otherwise the branches will grow quickly and affect the blooming of the flowers.

Third, lighting

Give it enough sunshine. If it lacks sunlight, it will only grow branches and leaves will turn yellow and fall off. It should be shaded in the heat, and the sun should not be exposed to it directly. It can be placed in windy areas of the house, often sprinkling water around and leaves to increase humidity. It needs to grow in an environment of 18-24 degrees. If it exceeds 30 degrees, it will grow normally as long as there is enough water. If winter comes, in order to prepare for an environment of no less than 8 degrees, the environment below 5 degrees will be frozen, the leaves will fall lightly, and the stem will wither if it is serious.

IV. Fertilization

During its growth period, do not apply too much nitrogen fertilizer, and give priority to phosphorus and potassium fertilizer, such as bean cake fertilizer. Add organic fertilizer every seven days when it blossoms, it needs to be mature, the concentration is only 20%, and you can add a little ferrous sulfate to it.

Fifth, pick the heart

In April, it is necessary to pick the heart and remove the dead branches and yellow leaves, which can help the flower buds grow ahead of time and blossom in early May. Flowers usually wither in 25 days. It is necessary to remove them and then fertilize them so that the next generation of flowers can have a chance to bloom. They can also buy special nutrient solutions and spray them on the branches to promote their flowering.
