How to make the fire flower bloom on New Year's Day

Unregulated flowering period

Generally speaking, the flowering period of the fireweed is from April to May. So, if you want it to bloom on New Year's Day, you have to take measures to advance its flowering period. Because the plants are relatively tall, they generally cannot be grown in pots and can only be regulated outdoors, so temperature control is relatively inconvenient, but certain insulation measures can also be taken. In addition, this plant is a positive plant and requires sufficient light for its development and flowering. So, what we are mainly talking about here is regulating the flowering period by adjusting temperature and light.

Temperature regulation: The suitable growth temperature for this plant is around 23 to 30 degrees Celsius. Even in the southern region, the temperature in winter is sometimes not reached, so what we have to do is to take some insulation measures to help it bloom early, such as laying some hay, fallen leaves, etc. on the soil, and covering it with a layer of plastic film.

Light control: It is winter around New Year's Day, so the sunlight will not be particularly strong. In order to make the plants bloom early, they must have sufficient light exposure time. The days are relatively short in winter, so the plant can receive sunlight all day long without having to take shading measures.

Precautions

If we advance the flowering period, sometimes the flower color will be incorrect. This is because there is a problem with the synthesis of pigments inside the flower. There are many factors that lead to this problem, such as nutrients, temperature and so on. Therefore, when we take any of the above measures, we should not forget to control other factors such as fertilizer. As for temperature, it is mainly the temperature difference, and temperature control is beneficial to the formation of pigment.
