How to care for lisianthus before and after flowering

Care of lisianthus before flowering

The flowers of lisianthus are quite beautiful. In fact, we can make it bloom more by topping it before it blooms.

During the differentiation period of lisianthus flower buds, it is important to reduce watering to prevent the plant from growing too tall and affecting flowering. In addition, it is also necessary to maintain a high temperature and appropriate light. Before the flower buds of lisianthus begin to differentiate, short-day treatment is generally required, and shading should be provided in a timely manner. Generally, do not apply too much fertilizer, at most a little phosphorus fertilizer or potassium fertilizer.

Sometimes people prefer to make lisianthus bloom earlier so that they can enjoy its beautiful flowers. However, early flowering is not a good thing. The plant will grow poorly and the flower buds will be smaller. If you find that some flower buds differentiate early, you can pick them off.

Care for lisianthus after flowering

After flowering, lisianthus actually needs maintenance.

If the lisianthus does not consume a lot of nutrients when it blooms, it can be cultivated for the second time. After the lisianthus blooms, it can be harvested starting from the second pair of true leaves on the plant. After that, carry out reasonable water and fertilizer management. Basically, after three months, lisianthus still has a chance to grow beautiful flowers again.
