How to grow bergamot flowers at home

1. Soil requirements

Buddha's hand flower cannot grow in heavy alkaline soil, otherwise it will cause poor growth. In order to promote growth, you can provide loose and fertile acidic soil, which can be mixed with sand, garden soil and organic fertilizer. The pot should be changed once every one or two years to provide new nutrients for growth.

2. Adequate lighting

When growing bergamot flowers at home, sunlight is a very important factor. If there is a lack of sunlight, the leaves will grow too long and the leaves and flowers will become abnormal. Therefore, sufficient light needs to be maintained during cultivation to promote growth. It can be grown on a south-facing balcony, especially in winter, where it can receive full sunlight.

3. Reasonable watering

Buddha's hand flower is relatively drought-resistant and does not require much water. In order to promote growth, it needs appropriate watering. You can wait until the soil in the pot is dry before watering. Do not water too much at one time.

4. Appropriate fertilization

In order to promote the growth of Buddha's hand flower, fertilization is also very important. During the period of vigorous growth, you can fertilize once every half a month. The concentration should not be too high, and you can use a thin liquid fertilizer.

5. Prevention and control of pests and diseases

When caring for it at home, you should pay attention to preventing and controlling diseases and pests, strengthen ventilation management, and prune regularly. If problems occur, you should spray pesticides in time for treatment.
