When will the longevity flower be capped? What problems should we pay attention to?

Longevity flower is a kind of household plant with simple reproduction, which not only has a long flowering period but also has a good meaning, so it is worth cultivating. However, the cultivation process of longevity flower needs topping. The topping of longevity flowers is to promote branching and increase flowering, so it is usually carried out in July-September, avoiding bud propagation and flowering. In the process of topping, we still need to pay attention to many problems. Water must be controlled before topping, tools for topping should be disinfected in time, and sharp instruments should be selected. At the same time, the topping environment needs to be properly controlled.

Generally, once the autumn tiger has passed, it is very suitable for topping when the weather gets cold. At this time, the seedlings have grown to 10 cm, which is very suitable for topping. Before topping, we must control the humidity of the soil, which is suitable for topping when the soil is dry, otherwise the water in the soil will easily run to the fleshy stems, and the wound will easily turn into water, leading to black rot. Moreover, the tools for topping should be disinfected and sharpened in time to avoid abrasion and corrosion of the wound. Put the longevity flower in a ventilated place after topping, and be sure to avoid high temperature and humidity. Some drugs can be applied to the wound of longevity flower to prevent infection. Once the wound heals and new buds appear, it means that the growth has been restored, and it is enough to supplement the nutrition of the longevity flower in time.

You must choose the right season when topping the longevity flower, otherwise it will not only fail to achieve the branching effect, but also bring some harm to the longevity flower. Moreover, 2~3 pairs of leaves are generally left, which is beneficial to flower bud differentiation and plant type growth is more compact. Topping can also be done at the same time as reproduction. Pruned branches can be kept for pruning, and new and old flowers can be replaced in time. Cut longevity flowers are a very good choice to send to relatives or friends. After topping, longevity flowers need to apply thin fertilizer frequently and get more sunshine.

Longevity flowers like warm, humid and sunny environment, so watering must be controlled in midsummer. Generally, domestic longevity flowers can be inserted once a year, because the seedlings have good disease resistance and the flowers are full. The older the longevity flower, the thinner its leaves and the worse its disease resistance, so it needs to be replaced with the old one in time.
