During the maintenance period, it should be placed in a place with good sunlight. More light is beneficial to growth and flowering, but strong light should be avoided during the flowering period. Watering should be more frequent, especially when the temperature is high in summer, and it should be kept moist but avoid water accumulation. Phosphorus fertilizer should be added before flowering to promote flower bud germination. After flowering, apply nitrogen fertilizer solution to supplement nutrients. In addition, the remaining flowers should be cut off promptly after each bloom. If diseased branches are found, the remaining branches should also be cut off.

1. Sufficient light

1. Sufficient light

Flowers and plants usually prefer light. During the maintenance period, they should be placed in a place with good sunlight. More light will be more beneficial to their growth and flowering. However, pay attention to proper shading during the flowering period and avoid exposure to the sun, otherwise the flowering time will be shortened.

2. Water appropriately

During the maintenance period, water frequently and keep it moist. Usually, you need to water twice a day in summer, so add more water. It should be watered every two days in spring and autumn, but be careful not to accumulate water. During the rainy season, excess water should be drained out in time. Low temperatures in winter will stop growth, so water needs to be controlled.

3. Reasonable fertilization

Blooming An appropriate amount of phosphorus fertilizer should be added before planting to promote the germination of more flower buds and increase the number of blooms. After the flowers fade, diluted nitrogen fertilizer should be applied to replenish the nutrients consumed during the flowering period. Fertilizer should be stopped in time in winter to avoid fertilizer damage.

4. Pruning after flowering

Prune in time after each flowering and cut off the remaining flowers, otherwise they will continue to consume nutrients and easily cause nutritional deficiencies. If diseased branches are found during normal management, the remaining branches should be cut off in time to concentrate the nutrients and improve the ornamental quality.
