Last Updated: 2024/11/24, Take a look at its picture, is it very much like a chicken crown? Yes, that's why it got its name. It is highly ornamental and has been planted all over the world. Naturally, it is its flowers that we mainly watch. So, let's find out when it blossoms.

1. The flowering period of this plant

It is an annual plant. Therefore, its growth rate is relatively fast. Sometimes it can blossom two or three months after sowing. Usually, it blossoms in summer and autumn, specifically in the month, from July to October. However, its florescence also has something to do with the region.

The main impact is the level of temperature. Because the climate of the south is quite different from that of the north, its florescence will not be different. In addition, its florescence is also related to the time of planting. So autumn is only a rough stage. There will be differences under different conditions.

2. Flowering maintenance

(1) Illumination: it is necessary to ensure sufficient light during flowering. Otherwise, its inflorescence will be very small and its flowering quality will be poor.

(2) temperature: the suitable temperature also has a great influence on its flowering. The specific range is within 18 to 28 degrees. If the temperature is too high in summer or too low in autumn, it must be adjusted.

(3) Fertilizer: in peacetime, this plant has a requirement for fertilizer, not to mention flowering. Compound fertilizer needs to be applied once or twice before flowering and during flowering. In addition, it is necessary to pay attention to the application of fertilizers containing N as little as possible. Otherwise, it is likely to grow only stems and leaves. Light hinders flowering, while heavy may lead to lodging.

(4) moisture: watering should not be too much. Especially after flowering, water control is needed. However, if the weather is dry, you can pour more water as appropriate. Drainage is needed on cloudy and rainy days.
