How to care after flowering

It is not necessary to cut off the flower arrow. You can keep it indoors for a while and observe the growth of the plant. If the plant grows normally and the flower arrow is normal, just keep the flower arrow. However, if the leaves wilt on a large scale and the plant becomes dull in color, the flower arrows should be cut off in time.

After the flower arrows are cut off, you can apply appropriate amounts of phosphorus and potassium fertilizers to supplement the nutrients consumed by flowering. If the plant has sufficient nutrients, the flower arrow can grow to 40~50 cm, and red flowers will bloom on the tall branches.
