Maintaining it at around 20 degrees is more conducive to flowering. It should not be too high or too low, otherwise the flowering period will end early.

1. How to care for it during the flowering period

1. Suitable light: It likes light, and it cannot lack light during the flowering period. Usually it should be placed in a bright place to let it get more diffused light, so as to extend its flowering period and the flowers to bloom will be more vivid. But be careful not to expose them to the sun at this time. Strong light will burn the flower buds and easily cause the flowers to fall, and the flowering period will end early.

2. Suitable temperature: it It likes a warm environment and has higher temperature requirements during the flowering period. The temperature should not be too high or too low. It is best to control it at around 20 degrees, so that it can bloom and grow better.

3. Water appropriately: It likes moisture, so it needs to be watered frequently to keep it moisturized. However, water should be controlled appropriately during the flowering period, and the soil must not be allowed to accumulate water, otherwise the roots will be retting. Also be careful not to let the flower buds get wet, as this will hinder flowering. The soil should be slightly moist at this time.

2. Fertilizer can be applied when blooming

It cannot be fertilized during the flowering period. As long as an appropriate amount of fertilizer is applied during the growing season and before flowering, it can meet the needs of the entire flowering period. If you continue to fertilize at this time, it will easily stimulate the root system and cause fertilizer damage. Apply phosphorus and potassium fertilizer before the flowers bloom to promote flowering, and add compound fertilizer in time after flowering to help recovery. In this way, the plants will grow better and stronger, and bloom better and longer.
