environment

The best growth temperature for lantern flowers is around 20 degrees, and the temperature cannot be lower than 10 degrees Celsius. If the temperature is too low, the plant will enter a dormant period. Therefore, if you want the lantern flowers to grow well, the temperature must be controlled well. In winter, the temperature cannot be too low, especially not below five degrees Celsius. Low temperature damage will occur if the temperature is below five degrees Celsius. We need to take protective measures for plants in winter.

Watering and fertilizing

The lantern flower must get enough water, and the growth rate of the lantern flower is relatively fast during the growth period. If water is not supplied in time, the soil will become dry. Fertilizer is also indispensable. During the growth period, the plants can be fertilized once every two weeks or so to maintain the plant's nutritional needs. Normally, make sure the soil is slightly drier, which is more suitable for the growth of lantern flowers!

soil

Before planting lantern flowers, you should first prepare the soil needed by the plant. Lantern flowers prefer soil that is rich in nutrients. We can use humus soil and some slightly acidic soil. This slightly acidic environment will be more conducive to plant growth!

Sunlight

Although the lantern flower is a flowering plant, it itself does not like light. It likes to grow in a semi-shaded environment. When we grow the lantern flower, we only need to ensure that the lantern flower gets the necessary light it normally needs. Usually, growing it in a place with scattered light can allow the plant to grow well. In summer, we can spray some water on the surface of the plants to cool them down, and also keep them away from light.

There is nothing special about the cultivation of lantern flowers. As long as you are familiar with its growth habits, it is very easy to make the lantern flowers grow in full bloom. Therefore, don’t have too many doubts when planting it. This kind of flower with lanterns on it looks very beautiful when it blooms, and it brings a festive feeling to the home.
