How to prune zephyranthes after flowering

Pruning after the zephyranthes blooms

Pruning of Allium orchid is usually done in spring and autumn every year. The climate during this period is more suitable, and pruning is more conducive to the recovery of growth. After the Allium orchid blooms, the remaining flowers should be cut off directly, and some dead branches, yellow leaves, diseased leaves, and overcrowded branches and leaves should also be cut off at the same time to reduce nutrient consumption.

Zephyranthes pruning flowering

Reasons for not blooming: The reason why the Allium orchid does not bloom may be that the flowering period has not arrived, or it is grown in a place with insufficient light or the soil in the pot is too poor, so its growth will be very weak and it will be difficult for the Allium orchid to bloom.

Pruning and flowering methods: Pruning of Allium orchids is usually done by pruning branches and leaves. If there are branches that grow too long, they should be properly cut short. Branches and leaves that are too dense also need to be thinned out. After the flowering period is over, the remaining flowers should be cut off in time to avoid excessive consumption of nutrients. At the same time, the soil for the Allium orchid pot should be loose, fertile, and well-drained. Water it sufficiently during the growth period, and keep it under sparse shade in summer.

Maintenance method of zephyranthes after flowering

1. Fertilization management

As far as flowers and plants are concerned, the flowering period is the period with the highest nutritional cost, so fertilization is the most important at this time. When choosing fertilizer, we can choose liquid fertilizer, and this kind of fertilizer is more suitable for Allium orchid, but remember to add water to concentrate before fertilizing, otherwise it is easy to burn the plant.

2. Temperature control

As far as the flowering period care of Allium orchid is concerned, temperature control is a relatively important factor. Although Allium orchid has strong vitality, its flowers will bloom more brightly at a suitable temperature. The suitable development temperature of Allium orchid is between 15-25°C, so you can pay attention to it.

3. Water pouring management

When the onion flower is in bloom, water it continuously, usually once every 3-4 days. Because the flowering period is in autumn, the frequency is about the same, but it still depends on the situation. Water it after the soil is dry. Avoid water accumulation when watering, otherwise it is easy to cause diseases and insect pests.

4. Lighting management

Green onion is a relatively light-loving flower, so it is necessary to maintain sufficient light during the flowering period. It is also possible to withstand light all day long. This can also continue photosynthesis, and the flowers will become more and more colorful. Therefore, it can be seen that light is a very important part in the maintenance process of green onion during the flowering period.
