In May and early summer, many people hope to bring freshness and coolness to their warming home by cultivating one or two green plants, and longevity flowers are a very suitable choice. of course, although the planting of longevity flowers is relatively simple, but it still takes some skills to make them a touch of bright color, so what should we do? Don't panic, as long as you master the "three attentions and two tricks" and close your eyes, your longevity flowers will grow to explode.

Three attentions

1 pay attention to the light

As we all know, longevity is somewhat "casual" in its attitude towards light, but it does not mean complete "stocking". In fact, when we are about to enter the summer, we still need some ventilation and shading. its purpose is to avoid direct sunlight and damage to plant stems and leaves, usually 8-9 hours a day, and shading the rest of the day. In this way, buds can be formed in about 20 days.

2 pay attention to fertilizer

May is about to enter the summer period, and during this period we must pay attention to fertilization. in this season, the fertilization of longevity flowers should follow the six words "more watering, less nitrogen fertilizer". In particular, after entering the flowering stage, we must increase the proportion of phosphorus and potassium in fertilizer and reduce the amount of nitrogen fertilizer, which can effectively control the overgrowth of longevity flower plants.

3 pay attention to the prevention of insect pests

Nowadays, with the rising temperature, pest control has also become an important concern for us to grow longevity flowers. Longevity flowers themselves are vulnerable to snails, slugs, cabbage insects, etc., and these pests need to be prevented. So properly do a good job of indoor disinfection, and regular spraying of protective pesticides is a very good method.

Two tricks

1 pot of small soil pine has a good effect.

Longevity flowers are suitable for planting in clay pots with good permeability, and the most suitable inner diameter is 10 cm to 20 cm. In the process of planting, you can put a layer of broken charcoal or hard plastic in the basin to ensure its sufficient permeability. As for the choice of soil, loose, fertile and slightly acidic sandy soil can be selected. If family potted plant, you can also mix rotten leaf soil, vegetable garden topsoil and sand culture soil according to the ratio of 4.5 to 4.5, and the effect is also lever drop!

(2) it is fastidious to insert branches.

If longevity flowers want to open branches and scattered leaves, it is necessary to cut once every other year. Generally speaking, cutting can be done in four seasons, but it is best to cut branches containing more than four healthy leaves in spring and autumn as the goal. The cut can be cut after the wound is dried. Pay attention to proper shading in the process of cutting, spray water and moisturize properly if necessary, and take root in about a week. And if we observe that the leaves become hard and shiny, it shows that the roots have survived.
