Epiphyllum blooms from June to October every year, at 8 or 9 o'clock in the evening, and does not bloom during the day. And its flowering period is very short, usually about 3 or 4 hours will be closed. If you want to make it blossom, you need to control the temperature well, which should be about 15-25 C, and apply phosphorus and potassium fertilizer in the bud period. But also timely watering, aquaculture environment must be ventilated.

1. Illumination

Antirrhinum majus likes to stay in a sunny environment. For potted plants, except for the insolation at noon in summer, they need to be exposed to the sun all day in other seasons. The more sufficient the light is, the more vigorous the growth of Antirrhinum majus and the more flowers it will bloom.

2. Temperature

Antirrhinum majus likes a relatively cool climate, and is especially afraid of intense heat. It is relatively cold-resistant. In winter, the maintenance temperature is guaranteed to be above 0 . In summer, the antirrhinum majus can safely live through the winter and spend the summer by pulling a sunshade net to block the light and cool down.

3. Watering

Antirrhinum majus is fond of dampness and afraid of waterlogging. Usually, you can weigh the weight of the potted soil and feel that it is obviously lighter and watered thoroughly.Do not let the soil wet for a long time, otherwise the plant is easy to rot roots, and eventually die.

4. Fertilization

During the growth period of snapdragon, liquid fertilizer, such as compound fertilizer and water, can be applied once every half a month to promote growth, and phosphorus and potassium fertilizers, such as potassium dihydrogen phosphate, can be used before the flowering period to promote flowering.When applying fertilizer, we should pay attention to thin fertilizer and frequent application, and the concentration is lighter and safer.
