Can Cineraria only be grown for one year?

1. How many years can it be raised?

Cineraria itself is a perennial plant. However, since it cannot survive the summer in most parts of my country, it will quickly wither after flowering and is only cultivated as an annual plant. But if properly maintained, it can continue to bloom in the second year.

2. How to bloom in the second year

1. Pruning after flowering: Prune the cineraria as soon as possible after the flowers wither. Remove withered flowers and dead leaves to avoid further consumption of nutrients, which will help store nutrients for the plants.

2. Repotting and adding fertilizer: After pruning, the cineraria should be repotted and a certain amount of base fertilizer should be added. You can put organic fertilizer or rotten leaves at the bottom of the pot to help the roots absorb certain nutrients.

3. Reduce watering: After pruning, the cineraria has little ability to absorb water. Too much watering will hinder its breathing and even cause root rot. Generally, water the plant after the soil is dry. In summer, water it in the early morning and evening. In winter, control the amount of water and water it once every one to two weeks.

4. Appropriate top dressing: After the cineraria starts to grow, you should continue to apply top dressing. Generally, apply diluted liquid fertilizer once every half a month, which is more conducive to absorption.
