Although the stars have small petals, they are surrounded by beautiful flowers. How to maintain them in the breeding process? How can we make the stars grow healthily?

Culture method of star flower

watering

Stars do not like too humid environment, so do not over water, to properly keep basin soil dry.

When the relative humidity of the air is low during the growth period of the star flower, the probability of the star flower disease will be greatly reduced.

Illumination

Star flowers like a sunny environment. Strong light can make the growth trend of star flowers better and the branches more compact. Therefore, the potted plants should be placed in a place with direct sunlight, and the sunshine should be guaranteed for at least 5 hours every day.

temperature

During the growing period, it is better to keep the night temperature above 17 ℃ - 18 ℃, the day temperature above 22 ℃ - 24 ℃, and the temperature below 10 ℃, which will cause irregular flowering and delay or hinder the opening of flowers.

fertilization

The application of "chlorophyllin" 800-1000 times of water solution is often used in the fertilization of fanxinghua, once every 7-10 days, to promote the extension of leaves. After the middle stage of growth, the flower bud differentiation and growth were promoted by applying 800-1000 times aqueous solution of "Huajing" with the formula of 15-30-15 (n: P: k) every 7-10 days.

Notes on Breeding of starfish

Strengthen the light in winter

Because starry flowers are plants that like strong light, we should pay more attention to supplement the light in winter, and put the starry flowers on the balcony or windowsill for maintenance.

Pruning in growing period

During the growth period, prune the branches of the star flowers to make the crown even.

It is necessary to use loose soil for cultivation.

For the cultivation of starflower, a loose and permeable substrate with clay content of 10% to 20% should be used. Coconut fiber, perlite and other materials can be added properly.

Water with warm water

The leaves of fanxinghua are sensitive to cold water, so it's best to use warm water when watering, about 18 ℃.

Water control during dormancy

In autumn and winter, after the flowering period, it will enter the dormancy period. At this time, the amount of water should be controlled to keep the soil slightly wet.
