The freshly purchased Luwei flowers are usually finished seedlings in the flowering stage. After you buy them home, place them on a south balcony with sufficient sunlight. More sunlight will help the plants bloom. When watering, adhere to the watering principle of "seeing dry and seeing wet". Use the soil in the pot to turn it lightly and water it thoroughly. Pour nutritionally balanced liquid fertilizer once every half month during the growing season, and switch to phosphorus and potassium fertilizer before the flowering period. Prune the remaining flowers after they fade to promote their renewal and rejuvenation. Keep the temperature above 5℃ in winter and water less when the temperature is low.

1. Get more sun

1. Spend more time in the sun

Although it looks like a flower, it is actually a kind of succulent and has a particularly high demand for light. Therefore, after everyone buys it and brings it home, they should place it on a south-facing balcony or windowsill and let it get as much sun as possible. The better the sunlight, the more flowers it will bloom.

2. Water less

As a succulent dewflower, it is quite drought-tolerant. During the spring and autumn growth periods, it is generally necessary to wait until the surface of the potting soil turns white, and then carry the potting soil. Become light and water thoroughly. During the high temperature period in summer and the low temperature period in winter, it is necessary to water less and keep the pot soil dry, which will help the plants survive the summer and winter safely.

3. Moderate temperature

Winter If the temperature is low, you need to move the dewflower indoors and keep the curing temperature above 5℃ to survive the winter safely. If the temperature is low, control the water appropriately. At noon when the temperature is the highest, slide a little normal temperature water along the edge of the basin.

4. Breathable soil

Lewweed flowers prefer sandy soil with sufficient drainage and sufficient nutrients. We can change the potting soil every spring as the plant grows. Use pine needle soil and peat soil, add some coarse sand and perlite, and bury a few grains of slow-release fertilizer as base fertilizer.

5. Fertilize frequently

In addition to In addition to using slow-release fertilizer as a base fertilizer, during the peak growth season of the plant, you can also pour a balanced fertilizer of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium every half a month to promote plant growth. Use phosphorus and potassium fertilizer before the flowering period to promote more flowering of the plant.

6. Pruning after flower failure

With proper maintenance, Luwei flowers can bloom in spring and autumn every year. After each flower failure, cut off the remaining flowers and flower stems in time. Avoid excessive consumption of nutrients. After pruning the flowers, add some nutritionally balanced fertilizer and water to promote their renewal and rejuvenation.
