How to make Cineraria flowers bigger and more colorful

① It is best to sow in late August to early October. Transplant once when the seedlings have 2 to 3 true leaves, and transplant again when they have 4 to 5 leaves.

② When the seedlings grow 5 leaves, remove the top bud to encourage the germination of lateral buds. Generally, 3 to 4 lateral buds are retained. During the growing season, the axillary buds that sprout from the base need to be removed in time. To avoid consuming nutrients.

③ The soil in the pot should be kept moist during the growth period. In summer, in addition to sufficient watering, you should also spray water on the leaves and the ground frequently to increase humidity and reduce temperature.

④ Apply thin liquid fertilizer once every 10 days during the growth period. Until flowering. After the flower buds turn color, spray the leaves once with 0.2% potassium dihydrogen phosphate. The number of fertilizations should be reduced during the flowering period, and phosphorus fertilizer should be applied after autumn.

⑤ From the time the seedlings grow slowly, they should be placed in a sunny, well-ventilated place for maintenance, and the direction of the potted flowers should be rotated frequently. If the temperature exceeds 25℃, the leaves will wilt; the room temperature over the winter should be kept between 10~15℃.

⑥ When flowering, move the plant to a cooler place with a temperature of 7 to 8 degrees Celsius for maintenance to extend the flowering period.
