Last Updated: 2024/11/23, It is a flowering plant, what we want is that it blooms longer, but its florescence is not super long, so at this time we can take certain ways to prolong the flowering period. For example, we need to control its temperature in a certain range, and then control its humidity. In addition, light is also necessary, and those flowers that bloom early also need to be removed, which can prolong the flowering time.

1. Temperature

It needs 10 ℃-15 ℃ at night and 18 ℃-25 ℃ during the day, and it needs 02 ℃-30 ℃ during the day and 15 ℃-18 ℃ at night if we want to promote the flower. Lower the temperature after flowering, 10 ℃-15 ℃ during the day and 5 ℃-10 ℃ at night. Of course, the environment should not change too much, and the cold air should not be blown directly into it.

2. Humidity

Humidity should also be controlled, which is a way to prolong the flowering period. In general, in the bud stage, we should keep the humidity above 70, but not more than 80, and keep the ground moist and, if necessary, use fog to humidify. In addition, if we humidify by spraying water, we also need to prevent alkali from forming on the leaves.

In addition, watering is also necessary. Generally speaking, smaller pots are once every two or three days, while larger pots take five to seven days. Watering can not start from the crown, we should start directly from the basin, if there are some dehydrated plant leaves withered, then we can use soaking pot method to make it absorb water. If we have already entered the flowering period, we can lower the humidity so that the flowering period can be prolonged.

3. Lighting

We still have to let it live in a semi-overcast environment, and if the temperature is relatively high, we still have to open the tuyere and keep the air clean. In addition, turn off the tuyere if the wind blows.

Give it more light when the bud grows, but less light at the end of the bud growth, which can also increase the duration of flowering, but there is also a drawback, that is, the color of the flower will be dim.

4. Get rid of flowers

If any flowers bloom earlier, we'd better get rid of the early flowers, which will play an important role in the delay.
