How to care for Zi Chi Nian Hua during its dormancy period

The manifestation of hibernation in Zichi Nianhua

What is hibernation like?

The Zi Chi Nian Hua plant grows very rapidly in spring and autumn, but around October , the leaves that grew rapidly in summer will slowly dry up, and the leaves in the middle part will become tighter and tighter, like a small cabbage or a rose bud. The color will gradually fade, and when spring comes, it will begin to sprout again. The cabbage in the middle will slowly open, stretch out a little hand, and grow many little sprouts.

Can hibernation be broken?

Many flower lovers can't wait to see the growth of the chrysanthemums and break their hibernation as soon as spring arrives. This method is feasible, but you need to pay attention to controlling the temperature. When the weather warms up in early spring, do not move it outdoors immediately. Place it in a warm, sunny place indoors. Increase watering appropriately, and it will slowly break dormancy.

Maintenance methods of Zi Chi Nian Hua during dormancy period

Water and Soil

It is basically not difficult to grow the succulent plant Euphorbia cetonia. All you need is for the soil to retain water and be breathable. The cottonseed hulls used after growing mushrooms and slag ash that has been exposed to the sun and rain in the greenhouse in Jinan grow very well. Almost no fertilizer is needed, and it is estimated that the planting material is very fertile.

illumination

The lotus plant prefers strong light. When the light is weak, the leaves of the plant will fall apart and the stems will even grow long, with their necks stretched out, which is very ugly. It should be noted that the leaves are indeed scattered during the growth period, but it is still easy to distinguish them from leggy growth by looking at how long the necks are stretched.

Pests and diseases

The lotus plant is relatively strong. Some of them may die due to too much water, but it basically does not get sick. Insects are more troublesome, so be careful of root mealybugs.
