The lantern flower , scientifically known as Fuchsia, is a perennial herbaceous flower . Its flowers are shaped like hanging lanterns, with regular shapes, neat blooms, and symmetrical petals. The main colors are red, purple, white, etc. It symbolizes auspiciousness, peace, gratitude and blessings, and is deeply loved by people. Let’s learn how to grow lantern flowers. 1. Lighting management Lantern flowers prefer an environment with plenty of sunlight, but they need to be shaded during the hot summer to avoid direct sunlight to prevent damage to the petals. In winter, ensure adequate sunlight. If there is insufficient light for a long time, the plant will easily grow too tall and the number of flowers will decrease. 2. Soil and watering The potting soil should be loose and well-drained to adapt to the cool and humid climate environment that fuchsia likes. You can choose to mix leaf mold, garden soil and river sand. Generally, water the plant once every 5-7 days. Water the plant thoroughly each time and wait until the soil in the pot is completely dry before watering again. The suitable temperature for growth is 10-25℃. Too high or too low temperature will affect its growth and flowering. 3. Fertilization tips During the daily growth period, nitrogen fertilizer is applied mainly to promote the growth of branches and leaves and prevent excessive growth. After entering the flowering period, more phosphorus and potassium fertilizers need to be applied to prolong the flowering period and improve the quality of flowers. 4. Summer management Lantern flower is not resistant to high temperatures and will enter a semi-dormant state during the hot summer. At this time, it should be moved to a cool and ventilated place to avoid exposure to the sun. When the temperature exceeds 30℃, reduce the frequency of watering, keep the soil in the pot slightly dry, and place it in an air-conditioned room to cool it down to help it spend the summer safely. The above are the key points for the maintenance of lantern flowers. By mastering these little common sense, you can make it grow healthily. Have you ever grown lantern flowers?
