How to maintain Ruixiang after blooming

Ruixiang flowering is both good-looking and fragrant, and it is also more shady, like semi-shade and the growth environment with sufficient scattered light, so it is very suitable to be cultivated indoors as a family pot. However, its aroma is very rich, in order not to make people feel uncomfortable, the environmental ventilation must be smooth, so that the indoor fragrance of flowers can be more comfortable.

However, after enjoying the flowers, we also need to strengthen the conservation and management of potted Daphne in time. Because Daphne will consume a lot of nutrients and energy during the flowering period, the plant will become more fragile after blooming, so we need to strengthen management in time to restore its normal growth. Otherwise, the potted plant will not only look bad, but also consume unnecessary nutrients in vain, making the plant grow weaker and difficult to recover. So, how to maintain Ruixiang after blooming?

1. Pruning in time

After blooming, Daphne must remember to prune it in time, especially to cut off the residual flowers, which can prevent plant growth, save some nutrients and stimulate plant growth. However, the pruning of other parts also needs to be decided according to the needs of the plant type, so as to keep the plant type of Ruixiang plump and round as far as possible.

Of course, in the specific pruning process, we also need to consider according to the growth of the plant, to properly top the branches that grow tall and long and are easy to destroy the plant type in order to control its continued growth. But when cutting down, generally count 2-3 leaves from top to bottom, and then cut off the tip. After topping, new buds will sprout in the axils of the top leaves of the branches. And we also need to cut off the receptacle, after some pruning, the plant is bound to become more beautiful and promote its growth.

II. Daily maintenance

Daphne will gradually enter the growth period after blooming, so the demand for water and fertilizer will also increase. Original and also need to increase light to promote photosynthesis in order to accelerate germination and growth. Therefore, the maintenance and management work in all aspects should be strengthened after flowering.

1. Watering

If we do not water it in time after flowering, the leaves of the plant may droop and droop. However, once we resume watering, it will come back to life. However, when watering Ruixiang, we should pay attention to keep the basin soil slightly moist by pouring water thoroughly, neither too dry nor too wet. After all, its fleshy roots are easily damaged by improper watering. Therefore, before watering, be sure to observe the growth status of the potted soil and plants to see if the leaves droop or wilt.

2. Fertilization

When Daphne is most in need of nutrients after flowering, we can generally apply some slow-release compound fertilizer, which is suitable for granulation and evenly sprinkled in the basin, which is very convenient, the nutrition of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium is balanced, and the fertilizer effect is long-lasting. Of course, you can also apply fertilizer and water, but at this time, topdressing is usually based on root irrigation, and topdressing every 2 weeks is better.

3. Lighting

As Ruixiang ends its flowering in spring, and the light intensity in spring is still relatively weak, we should let it bask in the sun more to make sure it has enough light. In this way, the plant can better carry out photosynthesis and form nutrition, and the faster the plant recovers and grows, the better its growth will be. Therefore, providing sufficient light after anthesis is also very important to restore and promote plant growth.

4. Temperature

The weather is generally warmer in spring, but it is inevitable that there will be occasional "late spring cold", so we should still pay attention to avoid freezing the plants because of the temporary low temperature. Generally speaking, it is most appropriate to keep the ambient temperature above 10 °C for the growth of Daphne odora, and there is no need to worry about the high temperature in spring.
