Last Updated: 2024/11/05, After its flowers have withered, the remaining pedicels should be removed first, and then the fallen leaves in its pots should be removed. Then loosen the soil and disinfect it with different tools. Finally, add a little fertilizer and keep it in a bright area.

1. Pruning

After its flower apoptosis, it should first remove its remaining pedicels, which can reduce the consumption of nutrients and leave some nutrients to help it grow after anthesis.

Then you can remove the fallen leaves from the basin, because there are likely to be diseases and insect pests in it. Cut off the flower when it withered, it is best not to let it bear fruit, otherwise it will consume too much fertilizer and affect the growth of new axillary buds.

Second, loosen the soil

We should clean up all the mud of the flowers, take out the roots of the dead flowers, and then loosen the soil properly, which will be better for the growth of the roots.

III. Fattening

First, sterilize it, but do not use the same tool repeatedly, or it will lead to cross-infection if there are diseased leaves. Then disinfect it with a germicidal agent.

Second, wait until seven days later to fatten the leaves once, the weight is smaller than usual, wait until a month later to return to normal fattening management. Can bury some fertilizer or additives around its basin to supplement the consumed nutrients, remember that the quantity should not be too large, otherwise it will cause fertilizer damage.

Finally, if the season is right, they can split up so that they can sprout and grow faster.

Fourth, lighting

Then you can put it in the light area of the house so that it doesn't grow in vain. Usually be careful not to water too much water, wait until the soil is dry before watering, otherwise the root will rot very quickly.
