1. How does Bauhinia bloom in autumn?

When the Bauhinia flowers bloom in autumn, the colors are brighter, red or reddish purple, and the flowers are relatively large, with a diameter between 10 and 12 cm.

2. How to care for Bauhinia in autumn

1. Light: It needs sufficient light during the flowering period. At this time, it should be placed in a well-lit place. The flower color will be more colorful and beautiful if there is sufficient light. If it is kept in a dark place, the number of flowers will decrease and there is a possibility that it will not bloom. If possible, it is best to get full-day sun exposure.

2. Watering: During the flowering period in autumn, water should be controlled appropriately. Do not water as long as the soil is slightly moist. Keeping it slightly moist is more conducive to growth. Be careful to control the amount of water when watering and do not allow water to accumulate. When the weather is dry, you should spray water frequently to increase the humidity.

3. Fertilization: It consumes more nutrients during the flowering period, so it is necessary to apply thin fertilizers frequently. Usually, phosphorus and potassium fertilizers should be added every half a month to ensure flowering needs. When applying fertilizer, be careful not to use raw fertilizer or concentrated fertilizer, as these can easily cause fertilizer damage.
