The leaves of Zhu Dinghong are too luxuriant to cut and cut. I didn't expect the flowers to bloom more.

Zhu Dinghong, also known as safflower lotus, beautiful plants, beautiful flowers, elegant and generous, bright flowers, large and full. If it is properly maintained, it can even spend more than one arrow and blossom many times a year, often as an ornamental plant. In the process of maintenance, many flower friends find that the leaves of Zhu Dinghong are too long, which will affect the overall aesthetics. What if the red leaves are too long? can you cut them?

There are many reasons why Zhu Dinghong does not blossom. If the growth is too dense, the plant needs to be pruned at an appropriate time; if the sun is not exposed enough, it should be placed in a sunny place; if the temperature is not suitable, it is necessary to ensure the indoor temperature; if the soil is not right, change the soil.

Some people say that Zhu Dinghong should not cut leaves, leaves have photosynthesis to promote growth, while others say that leaves can be cut.

Before the editor also did not cut leaves, raised a pot of red red for two years also did not blossom, are leaves, leaves are big and green, particularly good-looking. Other people's Zhu Dinghong blossoms without leaves, and stubble can blossom many times, but those at home do not blossom. Later, they all cut the leaves in anger. Strange to say, it blossomed not long after cutting the leaves, but I was so happy that I finally saw the flowers.

Later, as soon as I saw that there were more Zhu Dinghong leaves, they would be cut off, sometimes they would slowly turn yellow, wither, fall off, take off and grow again and again, and cut them back and forth. No matter in spring, summer, autumn or winter, as long as you see more leaves, you will cut them off. I don't know whether it is right to cut leaves in the end, but for one thing, the flowers bloom so much that the next foil is squeezed out before the flower falls. There are no leaves blooming, sometimes very interesting, not a leaf, just two or three pedicels with a few flowers, a cold look is also very strange.

Why do you cut leaves and blossom more?

Reason: when Zhu Dinghong is too luxuriant, the demand for nutrition of the whole plant will be much greater than before. if the nutrition is still supplied in the previous way, the nutrient branch will not be able to support, and it will be very difficult for the flowers to bloom. Pruning should be carried out at this time to ensure that the plant has enough nutrition to blossom.

After Zhu Dinghong's flower fails, you only need to subtract the whole flower branch from the bottom with scissors. As the saying goes, the residual flower is not good-looking, so don't be reluctant to give up. Cutting off such flower branches can avoid consuming too much nutrients, and in addition, it can promote the germination of new buds and promote Zhu Dinghong to grow foil again, so that the flower branches can be cut off every time after flower failure in order to promote secondary flowering.

In addition, after each flowering, there is little left of the nutrients absorbed by the potted soil, and the lack of nutrients is not conducive to blooming again, so you can apply some organic fertilizer after cutting the splines, and it is suggested to bury it directly in the soil and avoid burning roots farther away from the roots. this will promote the growth of flowers.
