For Hibiscus mume, the maintenance method in autumn has a great influence on it, because autumn is the flowering period. If the maintenance is not good, it may lead to a small number of flowers, or even no flowers at all.
1. Fertilizer: it has a certain demand for fertilizer in autumn. Generally speaking, it is needed before and after flowering. The main types are phosphate and potash. After proper use, it can make the color of flowers more gorgeous.
2. Watering: it also requires water in autumn. However, to promote flowering, it is necessary to reduce water slightly. If you water too much, the leaves will grow quickly, but it will affect the formation of flowers. Only after controlling water can we inhibit the growth of branches and leaves, and promote the formation of flower buds.
3. Illumination: Hibiscus mume is originally light loving, and it needs more suitable illumination during the formation of flower bud. Put Hibiscus mume in the place with good light in autumn, it can effectively promote flowering and increase the number of flowers.
4. Temperature: the temperature should also be appropriate, which is about 15 ℃. Before and after the frost, we need to move it to the indoor.
5. After flowering: in addition to care before flowering, care should be taken after flowering. The first is pruning. Cut all the flowering branches short, which is conducive to the growth of later branches. In addition, we need to control the temperature at three to ten degrees.
