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

1. Soil environment

The firecracker plant is suitable for an environment with plenty of sunlight. It has tenacious vitality and is not demanding on the soil. It can grow quickly if planted in moist, fertile, acidic soil. If good drainage and sufficient ventilation are maintained, the growth will be better and the flowering period can be advanced.

2. Temperature requirements

Firecrackers are suitable for growing in warm environments. In winter, the firecracker flower can still be cultivated outdoors in the south, but in the cold northern regions, it needs to be moved indoors or into a flower shed. The firecracker plant moved indoors needs to be placed in a sunny place and the room temperature should be kept above 10℃.

3. Fertilizer and watering requirements

The firecracker plant grows very quickly, and its flowering period is from January to June each year. There are large numbers of flowers when it blooms, so we must ensure that the firecracker plant has sufficient fertilizer and water during its growth process. During the growth period, the firecracker flower needs to be fertilized once a month. You can choose compound fertilizer to make the branches and leaves more lush and the flowers more abundant. Generally, just keep the soil moist, and water according to the specific situation.

IV. Other matters needing attention

(1) When cultivating the firecracker vine, an appropriate amount of base fertilizer needs to be applied to ensure its growth. Compost and bean cake are generally used as base fertilizers for cultivation. As for potted firecracker vines, you should choose deeper flowerpots, and apply leaf mold, garden soil, mountain mud and appropriate amounts of bean cake and other organic fertilizers as base fertilizers when cultivating firecracker vines.

(2) Adjust the shape of the firecracker vine. The firecracker plant can climb and grow along objects such as pillars. In order to enhance the ornamental value, you can choose a larger flowerpot when planting. When the firecracker flower seedlings grow taller, prepare a flower rack and let the seedlings climb and grow along the flower rack.

(3) Pruning of the firecracker flower. Generally speaking, the firecracker plant will not bloom again after it has bloomed, so it is necessary to prune these old branches in time and leave nutrients for the thriving branches to ensure the blooming effect.
