Cineraria is regarded as an annual plant in China, but in fact, if maintained properly, it can bloom in the second year. This requires cutting off the remaining flowers in time after the flowers fade to avoid wasting nutrients. At the same time, you need to change the pot and add base fertilizer to ensure that the roots have sufficient nutrition. Don't water too much. Wait until the soil is dry before watering. Watering can be done in the morning or evening in summer, and usually once every two weeks in winter. In addition, fertilizer should be applied on time, usually a thin liquid fertilizer once every half month.

Cineraria itself is a perennial plant. However, since it cannot survive the summer in most areas of our country, it will die quickly after blooming and is only cultivated as an annual plant. But if cared for properly, it can continue to bloom the second year.

1. Prune after flowering: Prune as soon as possible after the flowers of cineraria wither. Remove withered flowers and dead leaves to avoid further consumption of nutrients, which is helpful for storing plant nutrients.

2. Repot and add fertilizer: after pruning It is necessary to repot the cineraria and add a certain amount of base fertilizer. You can put organic fertilizer or rotten leaves on the bottom of the pot to help the roots absorb certain nutrients.

3. Reduce watering: Cineraria has little ability to absorb water after pruning. Too much watering will hinder breathing and even cause root rot. Generally, watering can be done after the soil is dry. In summer, watering is mostly done in the early morning and evening. In winter, the amount of water should be controlled and watered once every one to two weeks.

4. Appropriate top dressing: wait until the cineraria starts to grow After that, top dressing will continue. Generally, diluted liquid fertilizer is applied once every half month, which is more conducive to absorption.
