How to make Cineraria bloom on New Year's Day

1. Maintenance technology

Basically, it is required to move it indoors at the end of September. The indoor temperature is generally better between 10 and 13 degrees, and should not exceed 15 degrees. If the temperature is too high, it will easily cause it to grow too tall, which will make the appearance look bad. When the temperature is below 5 degrees, its growth will be obviously controlled, but it will not be able to bloom. When the flower buds are about to open, if you want to advance the flowering period of the whole plant, you can raise the temperature to 13 degrees. If you want to extend its flowering period, just control the temperature between 5 and 7 degrees. At the same time, you should improve the ventilation conditions and open the windows frequently for ventilation, which can effectively reduce the occurrence of diseases and insects.

2. Reasonable water and fertilizer

When watering, it should not be too dry or too wet. Cineraria generally likes fertilizer, so when planting, you should apply enough organic fertilizer to it, and then apply a little compound fertilizer every 7 to 10 days. Before it blooms, you can also spray some chemical solutions to promote its flowering, so that its flower buds can differentiate faster, and the flowers will be brighter and more numerous.

3. Rotate the pot

Cineraria is very sensitive to light. If you keep it fixed in one direction for a long time, the plant will easily grow crooked. Therefore, we must change the direction of the pot every half a month so that the plant shape will look very symmetrical.

4. Pick axillary buds and thin out flower branches

After planting, the axillary buds below should be picked off in time, so that more nutrients can be provided to promote the budding and flowering of the axillary buds above. If there are too many flower branches, the flowers will be small and messy, so we only need to keep 15 to 25 flower branches that grow well. This way the flowers can be more concentrated on the crown of the plant, making it look more beautiful.
