After it finishes blooming, the remaining flowers and flower stalks need to be cut off, and the dry leaves need to be removed. Finally, the diseased and insect-infested leaves need to be pruned away.

Precautions for breeding cranes

Fertilizer can be applied once every half a month during the growing season, and potassium dihydrogen phosphate should be applied within half a month during the flower bud differentiation period. It likes a humid environment, but cannot tolerate waterlogging. Watering should be appropriate, which can be done by soaking the bottom of the pot.
