Plenty of sunlight can promote coloringThe fire plant is native to South Africa, where it receives plenty of sunlight every day and has developed a light-loving growth characteristic over the long term. If the plant is still shaded in the fall as it was in the summer, it will show signs of leggy growth and will not be able to turn from green to bright red. If you want the fire festival plant to turn fiery red, you should move it to a sunny location when autumn comes, such as a south-facing balcony or windowsill, which receives the most sunlight every day. Although we already know that sufficient sunlight can help the fire festival turn fiery red, many friends do not understand the principle behind it. Under normal circumstances, when plants receive sunlight, they will continue to produce chlorophyll, thereby maintaining the normal growth ability of the plants. However, when there is plenty of sunlight in the autumn, the plant can use all its chlorophyll for growth and turn itself into a fiery red color. The temperature difference between day and night can promote coloring Fire Festival likes a warm and comfortable growing environment. It is slightly cold-resistant in winter. The suitable temperature for growth is between 15 and 28 degrees Celsius . If it is too high or too low, it will enter dormancy. If the fire festival is always in a warm and comfortable environment, the color of the leaves will not change from green to fiery red. If you want the fire festival to turn a fiery red, you need to create an environment in autumn where the temperature is high during the day and low at night , which is usually referred to as the temperature difference between day and night. This will allow the leaves of the fire festival to turn from green to fiery red. Adequate nutrition can promote coloringLike other succulent plants, the Fire Festival has a very weak ability to consume nutrients. However, if it has not been fertilized and maintained, the plant will enter a state of poor growth over a long period of time, and will not have the energy to turn from green to fiery red in autumn. Because when the leaves turn from green to bright red, they need to consume more nutrients. If you want the fire festival to turn fiery red, you need to use phosphorus and potassium fertilizers for maintenance in early autumn. After diluting it with clean water, apply it 1 to 2 times at intervals of 30 days. Proper water control can promote coloringLike other succulents, the Fireweed has a drought-resistant physiological structure and can tolerate general dryness. If the plant is still watered in autumn for maintenance, the leaves will remain green all the time, and in serious cases, waterlogging and root rot may occur. If you want the fire festival to turn into a fiery red color, you must carry out water control maintenance in the autumn. Generally, when you lift the flowerpot and feel it is light, you can water it thoroughly, or keep it dry. |
