What should I do when Zi Chi Nian Hua blooms?

Signs of flowering

The flowers of Zichi Nianhua are mainly in the center of the mother plant, but sometimes it is easy to confuse leggy growth and flowering.

For example, the picture below shows a plant that is growing too tall. The top of the stem is obviously elongated, and it looks like a bud is about to grow on the top, but this is not the time to bloom.

The real sign of flowering is that the center of the stem becomes noticeably thicker, the leaves gather towards the center, and a pine cone-like object grows in the center, which is light pink. This is the flower bud.

What to do when flowers bloom

To avoid the death of the branches, cut off the heads immediately once they are found to be flowering. Otherwise, be careful that the plant will die and you will be in excruciating pain.
