1. Pruning: After the ground nasturtium withers, cut off the withered flowers and remove the withered leaves. You can find a clean kitchen knife and cut off the remaining flowers of the ground orchid. After cutting, apply carbendazim powder on the wound and then place it in a cool and ventilated place.

2. Fertilization: The flowering period of the ground nasturtium is very long, so the plant consumes a lot of nutrients. After the flowers fade, you need to supplement the ground nasturtium with nutrients, such as applying balanced fertilizer and water with nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium once every half a month to promote its renewal and rejuvenation.

3. Maintenance: After the ground nasturtium withers, you can change the pot soil for the plant. Except for summer, place it in a place with sufficient light in other seasons, and ensure that the maintenance temperature is above 10℃. Water it thoroughly when the soil surface turns white. In winter, when the temperature is below 15℃, control the water appropriately and do not apply fertilizer.
