Luwei flowers are succulents and have a certain degree of drought tolerance. They don’t need to be watered too much when breeding. The pot soil should be dry. Roots can easily rot due to accumulation of water. It blooms frequently and requires a high amount of fertilizer, so it needs to be supplemented with light fertilizer frequently. It is best to use soil that is acidic, loose and breathable. It should be pruned in time to promote better flowering and growth. In addition, please note that it is not cold tolerant and cannot tolerate high temperatures. You must pay attention to temperature control in winter and summer.

1. Watering

1. Watering

It is a succulent plant. Although its leaves are not as fat or thin as other succulent plants, it can also accumulate a lot of water and has certain drought tolerance. Watering does not need to be too frequent, especially in hot summer months. The plant grows slowly, so it is best to reduce the amount of water and make the pot soil drier to avoid root rot.

2. Fertilization

Its Flowering occurs more often and requires more nutrients. The growth rate will accelerate from May onwards, so it is necessary to apply light fertilizer frequently. Under normal circumstances, apply a thin nitrogen fertilizer every half month. Flower buds will grow in June, and phosphorus fertilizer must be applied frequently to provide sufficient nutrients to promote flowering.

3. Soil

It likes acidic soil, preferably loose and with good air permeability. When breeding, river sand, leaf mold soil, and garden soil can be mixed and prepared, so that it can basically meet its needs. Note that the soil must be disinfected before use to avoid insect eggs or germs in it.

4. Pruning

During the breeding period Pay attention to pruning in time. Its flowers are lotus-shaped, and many flower stems will sprout from the leaves. After blooming, the flower stems must be cut off in time, and the branches and leaves must be pruned appropriately. Cut off some branches and leaves that have grown too densely to increase their light transmittance so that they can bloom next year.

5. Precautions

Pay attention to temperature control during breeding. Its cold resistance and high temperature resistance are relatively poor. It should be moved indoors in time in winter, and insulation measures should be taken if necessary. When the temperature is high in summer, shade in time and strengthen ventilation and cooling.
