Sculptures have a variety of colors from white, pink to orange-red and are very popular for many families to plant and decorate their home space. However, this flower has a succulent stem, so it is quite sensitive. If not properly cared for, the plant is very susceptible to root rot or wilting.
Therefore, housewives should refer to the following ways to take care of jade blossoms to always be fresh and effective.
Location of plants and light
Rosemary is a flower plant that likes shade and cannot withstand harsh sunlight. If the plant is placed under the sun for too long, the leaves will be scorched and the flowers will wither quickly. Conversely, if placed in a place that is too dark, the plant will flower less.
The most ideal location is places with light lights such as under the eaves or balconies facing the East. On hot summer days, move the pot to a cool place to protect the flower plants. Cool temperature will be the best environment for persimmon flowers to grow well.
Proper irrigation techniques
Due to its succulent stem characteristics, moisture control is the most important step in flower planting techniques. Sculpture needs moist soil but does not stagnate water. Watering too much will cause roots to rot quickly.
Housewives should water early in the morning or cool afternoon. When watering, the nozzle should be pointed at the base, avoiding watering directly onto the petals because they are easily crushed. Note that watering should only be done when the surface of the soil in the pot is dry. In the rainy season, it is necessary to check the drainage holes of the pot regularly to avoid waterlogging.
Provide nutrition and pruning
For the plant to easily flower, supplementing fertilizer is necessary. Dilute organic fertilizers should be used to water the plant every two weeks. At the same time, do not apply fertilizer too concentrated because it can cause root rot quickly.
In addition, pruning will help renew the tree's vitality. When the flowers have withered, it is necessary to proactively remove the entire flower stem so that the tree continues to sprout new buds. If the branches grow too long, cutting the top will help the tree have more branches and rounder, thicker flower bushes.
Pest and disease prevention
Rosemary flowers are often attacked by red spiders or mealybugs when the environment is too dry and hot. Keeping the space ventilated and regularly removing old leaves is the best way to prevent disease. If pests and diseases are detected, it is necessary to separate the pot in time to avoid spreading to other flower plants.
