How to make the hanging bamboo plum bloom more

Morphological characteristics

The branches of the hanging bamboo plum are long, and the leaves are oval, purple-green in color with silver stripes. The flowers of the hanging bamboo plum are generally lavender, and the flowers are tightly embedded in the bracts at the top. Under normal circumstances, the flowering period is generally in July and August in summer. The prerequisite is that the plant is properly cared for in the winter of the previous year and the spring of the same year, and the nutrients are appropriate, so that you can ensure that you can see the beautiful hanging bamboo plum flowers in summer.

How to ensure more flowers

First, appropriate lighting

Hanging Bamboo Plum is a thermophilic plant. During the growing period, it must be ensured to have sufficient light to ensure that the plant grows dense and full leaves. If it grows in a dark place with insufficient light, the stems and leaves will become slender, scattered and irregular, and the leaves will be thin and unhealthy. It should be noted that although the hanging bamboo plum needs bright light, it should not be exposed to direct sunlight, as it will easily lose water and wither.

Second, suitable temperature

The hanging bamboo plum grows well in a warm environment. Spring, summer and autumn are its growing seasons. It grows slowly or goes dormant directly in the low temperatures of winter. Therefore, when the temperature is below ten degrees in winter, you should pay attention to keeping warm.

Third, watering conditions

During the growth period of the hanging bamboo plum, it is not advisable to water it too frequently. Just keep the soil in the pot slightly moist. This will make the leaves of the hanging bamboo plum more colorful. During the winter dormancy period, watering once every half a month is enough to ensure water absorption. Excessive watering will cause root rot and plant death.
