Don't you want a pot of stars that can explode in autumn?

All over the sky, we often see it in fresh cut flower shops, making dried flowers with all kinds of colors mixed in a vase, which is very ornamental.

But what I want to share today is not this kind of full-sky star variety that can be used to make dried flowers, but another kind of full-sky star. This kind of green plant is very easy to raise. It blossoms all the year round, and the number of flowers is particularly large. It can open nearly a hundred flowers at a time, which is particularly spectacular. Let's take a look.

Basic introduction of plants

The stars shared today are actually small evergreen shrubs of the family Lycopodiaceae, also known as calyx flowers. The plants are relatively small, but they have strong branching ability, with dark purple flowers that bloom like stars, so they are also called purple flowers, which can be opened all year round. It is a very good indoor potted plant.

Selection of potted soil flower apparatus

Mantianxing prefers basin soil with good permeability and rich humus, so in the process of maintenance, you can choose to use rotten leaf soil to add a small amount of river sand to plant, or to buy general horticultural soil.

The flower ware is easier to choose, you can choose the commonly used gallon pot, or you can choose some Internet celebrity flowerpots, as long as you think it matches it, you can use it.

Water and nutrient supply

The root system of Mantianxing is capillary and very dense, so it needs more water. If there is too little water, it will cause the root system to dry up and affect the normal growth of the plant.

Therefore, in the process of maintenance, we must keep the basin soil slightly tidal, especially in midsummer evaporation is relatively fast, but also to replenish water in time; Mantianxing is a perennial flowering variety, which has more demand for fertilizer, so we can apply nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium compound fertilizer once a month.

Light temperature control

Mantianxing potted plants especially like adequate light conditions. if you observe the plant carefully, you will see that its leaves are hard leathery, and this kind of leathery leaves are not afraid of the sun, so in the process of maintenance, you must put them on the Nanyang platform with plenty of light!

The full sky star is not very hardy, although it can survive the winter safely at about 0 degrees, but it will appear yellow leaves and it is difficult to blossom, so it is best to control the temperature above 15 degrees in winter in order to let it still have flowers.

Daily management matters

Because the branching ability of Mantianxing is relatively strong, it is easy to grow into an explosive basin, but if the branches are too dense, it will affect the internal permeability of the plant and lead to the occurrence of diseases and insect pests, so at ordinary times, we must do proper pruning according to the growth trend, such as pruning the branches that are too dense inside the plant and grow too long.

Therefore, in the winter which is not far away, it is recommended that we prune it again to keep the plant in a relatively short state, and there will be more flowers in the coming year.
