Kent Princess Maintenance Tips

1. Princess Kent will consume more nutrients during the flowering period, so it is best to change the pot every year. Otherwise, insufficient growth space will affect the amount of flowering. It is better to choose loose, fertile and well-drained soil. Fertilizers containing nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium can be applied during the growth period, and pay attention to applying thin fertilizers frequently.

2. Princess Kent is a sun-loving plant and is relatively sun-resistant. It is suitable to be placed in an environment with sufficient light. It can promote flowering under the sun. If the environment is shaded, it will affect its growth, reduce the number of flowers, and make the flowers smaller. However, in midsummer, it is necessary to cover the sunshade net to avoid direct sunlight.
