We can increase its flowering time by some means: we can control water for it 50 days before it grows, and keep it for 15 days, so as to help its flower bud grow. Or shade it, also 50 days before flowering. The fertilizer should be controlled according to its different growth conditions, and the withered flowers should be removed in time.

I. water control

Whether it grows flowers or not has something to do with the amount of water. You can adjust the days when it grows flowers by controlling the amount of water. The precondition for controlling water is proper management at ordinary times. Usually watering should be dry and wet. Control water for it 50 days before it grows.

At the beginning, don't water for three or five days, let its leaves and branches slightly droop, then sprinkle the crown with water in the afternoon, and then it can return to normal after 15 days, which can help its flower buds grow, fertilize when the flower buds grow, and help grow more flowers

2. Shade

It likes sunshine. It needs enough sunshine when growing up. Even in winter, it needs to be put in a bright place even when it is very cold. If you give it less sunshine, its growth will be very poor, branches will be very thin, the color of the leaves will be dim

You can use a dark plastic bag about 50 days before it grows. It's better to cover it in black. Don't let it shine. Shading for about a month can also promote the formation of flower buds, but when it is not necessary to shade it, it must be guaranteed to give it enough light

III. controlling fertilizer

It has a lot of long flowers and a long time to spend. It must consume a lot of nutrition, so it must be supplemented with enough fertilizer, especially phosphorus and potassium fertilizer. In its vigorous growth period, it can be fattened once a week. When the flower buds come out from the axils, you can fertilize them more. When the flowers are in full bloom, ferrous sulfate can be added every three or five days.

From August to October, we can use water instead of fertilizer. Don't use too much nitrogen fertilizer, or it will grow very fast. Can also help it to buy a special growth regulator, so that its leaves will be more green, the crown will be more dense, the color of flowers will be more gorgeous, the long time can be increased by 20 or 30 days

4. Trim

After its flower withers, we should change the basin for it in time, and trim it properly according to its growth. Cut off the pedicel to help the mother branch grow. Its outer branches grow more flowers, so the inner branches can be cut off without wasting nutrition, and it can also create a transparent and ventilated environment to help it increase the flowering time.
