How to prolong the florescence of Phnom Penh Daphne

Phnom Penh Daphne can not only watch the leaves, more suitable for flowers, at the same time, it can also send out a strong fragrance of flowers, making people feel refreshing. And its flowering period is relatively long, usually up to more than 2 months. However, if the flowering period is not maintained properly, it will not only shorten the flowering period, but also reduce the flowering quality. As for flower watchers, they often hope to prolong the flowering period.

The florescence of Phnom Penh Daphne begins in winter, but the temperature is often low in winter, so it is not suitable for outdoor maintenance. After all, the cold tolerance of this flowering plant is relatively poor. If we put it outside for maintenance, it will not only delay flowering due to the influence of low temperature, but may even cause bud drop. Therefore, it is recommended to move the Phnom Penh Daphne potted plants to an indoor bright and ventilated environment for maintenance.

Moreover, when the flower bud of Daphne odora is about to open in Phnom Penh, be sure to avoid direct light, but the light intensity in winter is not very strong, so it can basically withstand even if it provides all-day light. Generally, we put it near the windowsill to fully receive light and provide 4-5 hours of direct light every day.

But in fact, Phnom Penh Daphne is more shade-resistant, and it also likes the growth environment of semi-shade and sufficient scattered light. And sufficient light can effectively prevent the overgrowth of plants. However, after the bud is formed, we still need to replenish it with some nutrients so that it can get enough energy to open the bud. It can be seen that timely topdressing is particularly important.

However, in order to promote the flowering of Phnom Penh Daphne, we have certain requirements in the choice of fertilizer, usually topdressing phosphorus and potassium fertilizer, it is recommended to use potassium dihydrogen phosphate solution to spray leaves or roots. But the concentration needs to be controlled at 0.1%, that is, the amount of 1 liter of water from a tablespoon of potassium dihydrogen phosphate. After fully dissolving the fertilizer and shaking it well, you can get good results by spraying leaves or irrigating roots.

However, the process of topdressing can not stop until the bud begins to unfold, because if topdressing continues during the flowering period, it will make the plant grow more rapidly and make the branches and leaves grow too vigorously, thus competing for the nutrients that originally belong to the bud in the past. as a result, the bud fell off due to lack of nutrients. Therefore, it is necessary to stop fertilizing in time when the buds open.

In addition, in order to promote flowering and prolong flowering, timely water control is also an important management measure. Because Phnom Penh Daphne itself has fleshy roots, in addition to the usual watering can not be excessive, flowering also needs timely water control, watering too much, it is still easy to cause retting or even rotten roots, so it may still cause bud loss. And do not often spray water to the flowers and leaves during the flowering period, which is beneficial to promote the flowering of Phnom Penh Daphne and prolong the flowering period.
