The Western cuckoo, also known as the Western cuckoo, was first bred in the Netherlands and Belgium. The Western cuckoo you just bought must not be repotted or exposed to direct sunlight. First, put it in a well-lit and ventilated place to get used to it, and then repot it after a week. Enhances light to full sun. Usually weigh the potting soil until it becomes light, water it thoroughly, maintain indoor ventilation, and frequently spray water around the plants to moisturize them, but do not spray water on the plants to avoid dry buds and falling flowers.

1. Avoid changing pots

1. Avoid repotting

Don’t repot the cuckoo you just bought, because the cuckoos we buy often have flower buds. Even if you repot them with soil, Potting will also cause more than 50% of the flower buds on the plant to dry out. If you want to change the pot, please wait until the flowers of the plant have died before changing.

2. More light

Usually when we buy cuckoos, it is in autumn and winter every year. After we buy them home, we need to put them in a well-lit and ventilated place for a week to adapt. . After a week, you can move it to the south balcony to bask in the sun. If there is enough light, it will bloom quickly and the flowers will be large. If there is insufficient light, it will bloom late.

3. Water carefully

Be careful when watering cuckoos. Too much water can easily cause root rot and leaf drop, while too little water can easily cause buds to dry out and flowers to fall. The best way to water is to weigh the weight of the soil in the pot. If it feels lighter, water it thoroughly. Water until water comes out of the bottom of the pot.

4. High humidity

The cuckoo likes humidity, but it likes a high-humidity environment. When the air is too dry, its leaves will dry out and turn black. . Therefore, we can frequently spray water around the plants, but do not spray water on the plants, otherwise it will also cause dry buds.

5. Apply less fertilizer

Gang When you buy a cuckoo, if you observe it carefully, you will find that the gardener has already applied slow-release fertilizer (small yellow particles) to the soil in its pot. Therefore, when we buy it home, we don’t need to fertilize it until the flowers fade. Just bury some bone meal and cake fertilizer on the edge of the pot.

6. Attention

Western cuckoos are particularly afraid of water accumulation. It is recommended that you find something to cushion the flower pot to make the ventilation holes at the bottom of the pot empty, so that it can still be placed on the tray. Water is stored in it to increase the local air humidity without causing water accumulation and root rot of the cuckoo. Pay more attention to ventilation, otherwise the cuckoo will lose its leaves.
