1、 How to prolong the flowering period

1. Prevent wind damage: it blooms when the wind is strong, especially in the north. Its flower diameter is relatively large, mostly between 15 and 25 cm, so it is easy to be top heavy. Therefore, if it encounters windy weather after flowering, it is easy to break its branches, and its petals are also easy to be damaged and dry. It should be moved to a shelter in time, and the branches should be supported so that the flowering time can be prolonged

2. Sufficient light: it likes light, so it should be frequently placed where there is enough light and bask in the sun. Otherwise, the branches are easy to grow in vain, which will consume a lot of nutrients, the nutrients of flowers will be insufficient, and the flowering time will be shortened. Bask more in the sun, let it accumulate more nutrients and prolong the flowering period

3. Proper watering: more nutrients are consumed during flowering than usual, and when the wind is strong, the water evaporates quickly. Therefore, water frequently. When the soil is half dry, water it. Be careful not to overdo it. Spray water when the weather is fine, but don't spray it on the flowers

2、 Flowering regulation

In order to regulate its flowering period, the methods of flower induction and temperature control can be used. For example, if you want it to bloom on the national day, you should spray appropriate foliar fertilizer at the flower bud differentiation stage, and select strong branches, buds and flower buds, and remove the excess. After mid July, move it to a low temperature and keep the temperature at 0 ° C to let it sleep in advance. When the temperature is controlled at about 22 degrees in the middle and late September, it can bloom at the end of September and enjoy the flowers on national day
