2. Flower promotion methods

1. Supplementary light: it is a semi sunshine plant. When curing, it should be put in the place where there is more sunlight. Especially before and after flowering, it can blossom normally only when the light is sufficient. Otherwise, the flower bud is easy to fall and the flowering period will be shortened.

2. Control water supply: reduce the amount of water in October every year, and do not supplement water if the soil is not dry. If the basin soil is too wet, it will affect flowering. Usually, as long as the soil is a little bit wet, no water.

3. Proper fertilization: it has a long flowering period and consumes more nutrients. After budding, we should often apply fertilizer, about once every ten days. Fertilizer can be used as special fertilizer or liquid fertilizer on the market. Only when the nutrients are sufficient, the flowers and colors will be more gorgeous and beautiful.
