Morphological characteristics

The branches and tendrils of hanging bamboo plum are long, the leaves are oval, the color is purple green, with silver stripes. The flowers of hanging bamboo plum are generally lavender, and the flowers are tightly embedded in the bract like leaves at the top. Under normal circumstances, the flowering period is generally in July and August in summer, provided that the winter of the previous year and the spring of the same year are properly cared for and the nutrients are appropriate, so as to ensure the beautiful hanging bamboo plum flowers in summer

How to ensure more flowers

First, appropriate lighting

Hanging bamboo plum is a thermophilic plant. During the growth period, the hanging bamboo plum must ensure sufficient light, so as to ensure that the plant grows dense and full leaves. If it grows in a dark place with insufficient light, it will lead to slender, scattered and irregular stems and leaves, and thin and unhealthy leaves. It should be noted that although the hanging bamboo plum should be bright, it should not be directly exposed to the hot sun. It is easy to lose water and wither

Second, the appropriate temperature

Hanging bamboo plum is suitable for growing in a warm environment. It grows in spring, summer and autumn. It grows slowly in low temperature in winter or directly enters the dormancy period. Therefore, when the temperature in winter is lower than 10 degrees, we should pay attention to heat preservation

Third, watering

During the growth period of hanging bamboo plum, it is not suitable to water too frequently and keep the basin soil slightly wet, which will make the leaves of hanging bamboo plum more bright. In winter dormancy, watering once every half month is enough to ensure its water absorption. Excessive watering will lead to root rot and plant death
