How to care for million bells after flowering

Growth habit

Million bells like to grow in an environment with plenty of sunlight, fertile soil and water, but they can also tolerate partial shade. It should be noted that the million bells have poor adaptability to the climate, so flower lovers should patiently care for it, replenish it with water in time, and ensure the appropriate temperature.

Post-flowering care

Strong shear

After the flowering period of Million Bells, it is basically autumn and winter, so strong pruning is required in the early winter when the temperature is more suitable. The branches of million bells are prone to lignification, so when pruning, you should cut off the weak branches, leaving strong branches with buds, and leave the whole plant with a height of about 10 to 15 cm. After that, you can wait for the arrival of spring with peace of mind.

Soil moisture requirements

After the flowering period of Million Bells, the soil should not be too moist. Water content needs to be strictly controlled. The soil cannot dry out and cannot be watered at will. If you water too much when the soil is dry, the soil will be too wet and may kill the plant.

Fertilizer requirements

You can add fertilizer appropriately, but if the temperature is below 5℃ in winter, the million bells are basically in a semi-dormant state, so there is no need to apply fertilizer at this time.

As long as flower lovers pay attention to the above points, you can cultivate your million bells as perennials and grow beautiful and gorgeous million bells every year!
