Cultivation methods and precautions of calyx spur flower

The calyx spurredum is an ornamental plant that is relatively easy to grow. It is very heat-resistant, but not very cold-resistant. We must pay attention to temperature control when caring for it. At the same time, it is also very light-loving and has a certain ability to tolerate semi-shade. It will grow very fast under sufficient light conditions and is relatively resistant to pruning, so maintenance is very simple.

How to grow calyx flowers

1. The pot soil is fertile and loose

The calyx spurredii has a strong adaptability to potting soil. It is recommended to use loose, breathable and fertile potting soil when caring for it, so that it will grow well, bloom more, and be easy to manage. You can use general nutrient soil, or you can mix garden soil, peat soil, river sand, and fermented organic fertilizer and then plant it.

2. Adequate fertilizer and water

As long as the calyx spurredii is not in a state of waterlogging for a long time or the soil in the pot is too dry, it can grow normally, so in general, it is sufficient to apply general fertilizer once a week, so that the calyx spurredii can maintain vigorous growth and continue to bloom.

3. Adequate lighting

The calyx spurred flower prefers an environment with sufficient light. It can grow well in both full-sun and half-sun environments. At the same time, because it is also shade-tolerant, it can bloom normally with about 3 hours of light a day.

Precautions for the maintenance of calyx spur

1. Keep warm in winter

The calyx spurred flower is heat-resistant and cold-resistant. It can bloom all year round in the southern region. In areas where the temperature is below 0 degrees in winter, it can be kept indoors. As long as the temperature can be maintained above 10 degrees, it can continue to bloom. It can overwinter naturally outdoors at around 0 degrees.

2. Prune at the right time

The calyx spur grows very vigorously. If it is not pruned for a long time, the branches will easily wither. Before entering the rainy season, it is best to do proper pruning, prune the small branches inside, enhance internal ventilation, and avoid yellow leaves.
