Tips for blooming on New Year's Day

As mentioned above, its flowering period already includes New Year's Day, but if you want the flowers to bloom more beautifully during New Year's Day, you still need to do some preparation.

Don't move it indoors too early: This is very important for the New Year's Day flowering. In winter, try to delay moving it indoors until after November 20th to allow it to fully experience the vernalization period. This will increase the number of flowers and make the flowers more colorful.

Environmental requirements for flowering: the temperature should be between 7 and 10 degrees. If the temperature is too low, the flowering period will be delayed. There must be plenty of sunlight. If there is not enough light, it will affect the number of flowers and make the branches and stems of the plant become slender and weak. At the same time, there must be a good ventilation environment. The soil should not be too moist or too dry during the flowering period, just keep it slightly moist.
