MoistureBecause the zebra flower has a large leaf area and a large amount of water evaporation, it needs to be watered abundantly during the growing season. At the same time, the leaves should be sprayed with water frequently to increase the humidity of the air and prevent the leaf edges from scorching. In winter, it should be placed in a brightly lit room, and watering should be reduced appropriately. At the same time, the indoor temperature should be kept above 10°C. If there is heating in the room, spray the plant with water close to the indoor temperature. After the flowering period, there is a dormant period of 4 to 6 weeks. At this time, you should water and fertilize less to avoid leaf fall and root rot caused by excessive watering. illuminationZebra flowers like bright places, but are afraid of direct sunlight. They can usually be placed in front of a window with sufficient light. In summer, pay attention to shade around noon and avoid direct sunlight. temperatureThe suitable temperature for the growth of zebra flowers is 20-25℃, and flower buds will only form when the temperature is above 20℃. The indoor temperature in winter must not be lower than 10℃. If the temperature is too low, the plant will suffer from frost damage and the leaves will fall off. soilIt is required to be rich in humus and have good air permeability. You can mix leaf mold or peat soil with one third of vermiculite or perlite. After changing the soil, place the plant in a warm, semi-shaded place. FertilizationFrom early summer to early autumn, during the period from flower bud differentiation to bud formation, apply compound liquid fertilizer every half a month to promote growth and flower bud formation. Pruning methodZebra flowers rarely grow side branches and only need to be topped or pruned during the cultivation process to control the height of the plant and maintain the overall shape, while promoting the growth of side buds to achieve the purpose of more flowering. After the flowers fade, the remaining flowers should be cut off in time to avoid consuming too much nutrients. |
