There are several reasons for the appearance of green flowers in smooth sailing. It may just be a normal metabolic phenomenon, chlorophyll will be concentrated in the late flowering stage, resulting in green flower color, green flowers and inflorescences can be cut off. It may also be insufficient light, a large increase in chlorophyll, move to a well-lit place, the growth period to ensure 4-6 hours of scattered light. It may also be nutrient deficiency, can be regularly fertilized, spring and autumn growth period needs to be fertilized every half month.

1. Preparation of soil

It likes the soil with better permeability, and it should pay attention to acidity and alkalinity, preferably neutral.When cultivating, it can be prepared by itself, mixed with garden soil, humus soil and sandy soil, and finally added with a proper amount of base fertilizer to improve nutrients, bone meal or organic fertilizer can be selected, lack of fertilizer is easy to grow poorly.

2. Appropriate temperature

It is thermophilic, and the temperature is best maintained at about 25 degrees.When the temperature is high in summer, it should be ventilated frequently and managed in semi-shade.In winter, the low temperature should be moved indoors, and the temperature should be controlled at about 15 degrees, and the lowest temperature should not be lower than 10 degrees, otherwise the plants will be frostbitten and affect flowering.

3. Adequate watering

It has strong drought tolerance, likes dry environment and is afraid of waterlogging.Usually watering does not need to be too frequent, the soil is slightly moist.If encounter overcast and rainy weather, want to take shelter from rain, basin earth cannot have seeper.In addition, if the environment is too dry, you can properly spray water to moisturize, to avoid dry leaves.In addition, we should pay special attention to the watering method in winter.Winter consumption of water is less, if the soil is not dry, do not irrigate at will, to avoid frostbite.

4. Proper Trimming

Pruning treatment should be carried out in time during the cultivation process.The residual flowers can be cut off in time after the flowers fade, so as to reduce nutrient consumption.But also short stem section, can be cut from the three or four leaves under the residual flowers, but also thin cut too dense leaves, to ensure good ventilation.
