Olivia flowering is a relatively normal phenomenon. The plant will not die after flowering, but it will consume certain nutrients. In order to promote plant growth, flower stems are generally cut off before flowering to reduce nutrient consumption. If you want to see it bloom, you can also prune it after flowering, remove the remaining flowers in time, and replenish nutrients. In addition, it is necessary to increase the lighting appropriately and keep the climate warm.

1. Cut it in advance

1. Cut it off in advance

Olivia flowering will consume a certain amount of nutrients, causing the leaves to dry up and fall off, affecting its appearance. To avoid wasting nutrients, you can prune in advance and cut off the flower stems to prevent the plant from blooming. Usually when the plant is still small, early pruning can promote its growth and allow it to grow as quickly as possible.

2. Pruning after flowering

If you want to see how Olivia blooms, or want to collect seeds after blooming, you can prune when the flowers fade. Cut off the remaining flowers in time to avoid wasting nutrients and allow the plants to resume growth faster. If not pruned, the dead flowers will continue to use up nutrients, causing the bottom leaves to dry out.

3. Post-flowering care

1. Light: After Olivia blooms, in order to allow it to recover faster, daily light needs to be strengthened, which is helpful for the growth of the plant and can also promote photosynthesis, allowing it to produce nutrients by itself to make up for its previous consumption.

2. Temperature: Olivia likes a cool climate , if you want it to resume growth quickly, you must ensure that the temperature is suitable. The temperature is better between 10-20℃. If the temperature is lower, you need to move it to a warm place or cover it with plastic tape to keep it warm.

3. Fertilization: If you want to supplement nutrients, the easiest way is to fertilize. However, as a succulent, Olivia does not have high demand for fertilizer, so the amount of fertilizer needs to be controlled, and it must not be applied too much, otherwise it will be very troublesome.
