Lucifer Maintenance Tips

1. Pruning

Because Lucifer rose grows relatively fast, it needs proper pruning to retain the main frame and side branches. Particularly thin ones can be cut off entirely. The side branches have strong germination power in spring and can burst out many buds to form flowering branches. There are relatively few blind branches and blind buds. When there are many high-quality branches, the plant shape will not be ugly.

2. Soil

Lucifer rose has relatively high requirements for soil. You can look for loose humus soil on the surface of the soil in the woods, or you can prepare it yourself using fine coconut coir, coarse coconut coir, imported peat, perlite, and slow-release fertilizer.

3. Water and fertilizer

Lucifer rose does not require much fertilizer and water. It can be added when preparing the soil. It can be applied once during the growing season. In summer, you can water it in small amounts multiple times to keep the soil moist.
