Choose this one for growing flowers during the National Day. The pink little flowers hang on the branches and it is easier to grow than the green ivy and spider plants!

In fact, in life, there are so many varieties of flowers, and it is not just the green ivy and spider plants that are easy to grow. Today Huahua would like to recommend a pink little flower to everyone. It is called the Little Palace Lantern. It is very beautiful when it blooms. The most important thing is that it is as easy to grow as plants such as green ivy and spider plant!

The small palace lantern is a variety of Kalanchoe. Because its flowers look like small lanterns hanging on the branches and leaves, it is also called "small palace lantern". The flowers of the small palace lanterns are generally dark red, and they look very stunning from a distance. Although it is a flowering flower, the small lantern is not at all "delicate" and requires no effort to maintain.

1. Soil selection

The small lantern has its own requirements for the choice of soil. Generally, soil that is too thick and sticky cannot be used for planting. It likes loose and fertile sandy soil, preferably slightly acidic soil, which can provide and supplement the soil nutrients it needs for growth, and the flower roots will grow stronger and more powerful in this soil.

2. Light intensity

The small palace lantern is not very demanding on light and can grow well under any lighting conditions. However, it prefers to grow in areas with sufficient sunlight. When it is cared for at home, it can be placed on a south-facing balcony. Remember to provide shade in the summer. After the small palace lantern receives sufficient light, its growth rate will increase, as will the number of flowers. However, we can rotate the small lanterns periodically so that the light is evenly distributed and the ornamental value will be higher.

3. Watering measurement

The small lantern is a type of Kalanchoe, and is naturally a succulent flower. Generally, the leaves of succulent flowers are relatively thick, which means that the water storage capacity is very high. Therefore, the lantern Kalanchoe is a relatively drought-resistant flower. Water it once every three days or so. In summer, you can reduce the amount of watering appropriately. In winter, you need to water it more and stop fertilizing. When caring for the small palace lantern, pay attention to the temperature of the potting soil. If the temperature is too high, remember to open the window for ventilation.

4. Fertilization intensity

Fertilizer is an integral part of growing any kind of flower, and the same is true for lanterns. When we plant the small lantern, we can use bone meal and compound fertilizer as base fertilizer, so that we can see the growth advantages of the small lantern in the early stage. During the peak growing season, if you want more flowers, you need to apply compound fertilizer containing nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium once a week to promote the differentiation of flower buds. However, be careful not to splash fertilizer onto the flowers and leaves when applying it, to prevent the fertilizer from being too strong and burning the leaves.

After the small lantern grows taller, you can choose to support it with several branches. This will not only increase its ornamental value but also greatly increase its growth rate. How about it? Do you like flowers like small lanterns? Flower lovers who like it can act quickly, it is really pleasing to the eye and easy to grow!
