The sprouting power of this plant is very strong, which will greatly affect the growth of the plant, and also reduce the ornamental effect of the plant, so it is necessary to trim the branches to balance the growth of the plant. The pruning time of branches is best to be carried out after all the flowers have withered. Prune all the branches that are too long, too dry, too slanting, and so on, so as to reduce the loss of nutrients.

Florescence control

Move the plants that have already grown flower buds to a lower temperature environment for maintenance, about 2 to 4 degrees, so as to reduce watering, and the pot soil will not be dried completely. Then in summer or autumn, it can be directly put outside for maintenance, so it can blossom in about 15 days.

Another way is to make it bloom at the appointed time, so the temperature should be controlled between 20 degrees and 25 degrees in advance, and then spray the water to the leaves and branches of plants, so that the humidity of the environment will be maintained at over 80%, which will blossom about 45 days.
