True flowering

This red flower gentian normally opens from October to February of the next year, so if you plant more, you can enjoy it for about four months. During this period of time, whether it is placed in the flower bed, flower glasses, or just placed in the flower pot, it is a better choice. Their colors are not very gaudy, but they are already very conspicuous in a withered and yellow winter. And they look relatively simple. This tranquility is very rare in the withered cold wind

Key points of flowering maintenance

Fertilization

Since the flowering period of these flowers already includes the Christmas period, there is no need to specially regulate their flowering period to achieve the purpose of letting them bloom at Christmas. As long as they are maintained normally during this period, there is no problem. They prefer black soil. The safflower gentian growing in black soil doesn't even need topdressing, but if it is in the seedling stage, we must pay attention to the problem of fertilization. At the beginning, we should use a certain basic fertilizer to supplement them with sufficient nutrients, so that the seedlings with poor absorption capacity can absorb nutrients

Prevent spot blight

This is a common disease on them. It will basically appear before October. If it is not handled properly during this period, it is likely to affect flowering later. The whole plant will wither at the beginning, or even the whole leaf will wither at the later stage. If this disease has occurred, it should be prevented and treated with an appropriate amount of mancozeb, or it can be used in exchange with carbendazim
