How to grow fairy finger in autumn

1. Autumn maintenance is important

For the fairy finger, maintenance in autumn is critical. This is mainly related to its flowering period. Its flowering period is mainly in winter, so autumn care needs to lay a good foundation for flowering and form flower buds.

2. How to maintain

1. Just entering autumn: In early autumn, the cactus is in its normal growth period and has not yet reached the differentiation period of flower buds. Normal maintenance can be carried out during this stage, and special attention should be paid to watering, which should be more than in summer.

2. Flower bud differentiation period: As the temperature gradually decreases, the fairy finger will enter the flower bud differentiation stage. The maintenance method at this stage is completely different. The daylight hours will gradually shorten. Generally speaking, providing more than thirteen hours of darkness per day can promote the formation of flower buds at the stem ends. In addition, pay attention to water control and gradually reduce the amount of watering. As for fertilizer, you should stop applying fertilizer at this time. The flower bud formation stage is very critical, and you must pay more attention to maintenance during this stage.

3. After the flower buds are formed: After the flower buds are basically formed, the maintenance method is different from before. The temperature needs to be slightly higher and within a more suitable range to be conducive to the opening of flower buds. Watering should also be slowly returned to normal.
