Cultivation methods and precautions of calyx spur flower

Cultivation methods and precautions of calyx spur flower

1. Temperature

The calyx spur generally prefers a warmer place, and the most suitable temperature for it to grow well is between 20 and 30 degrees. In addition, it is not very cold-resistant, so the temperature in winter should be above 5 degrees, otherwise it will easily be frostbite. So the temperature must be controlled well.

2. Lighting

The calyx prefers an environment with more sunlight and can tolerate a certain degree of semi-shade. Except for the need for appropriate shading in the summer, it is best to allow it to enjoy more sunlight at other times. If there is not enough light, although it can still grow, the flowers will be very ugly, and sometimes it will not even bloom.

3. Watering

The calyx spurred flower is very suitable for living in moist soil and is not very sensitive to the moisture in the soil. During its growth period, watering should not be too little or too much, just keep the soil in the pot moist. But it is very afraid of the presence of too much water, otherwise its roots will rot. In summer, you can water it more reasonably, but in winter you should start to control the amount of watering and keep the soil in the pot dry.

4. Humidity

It is more suitable for a humid environment, so the humidity in the air should be between 50% and 60%. In the summer when the temperature is relatively high and the weather is very dry, when watering it, you should also spray water on the surrounding ground appropriately. This will not only lower the temperature appropriately, but also create a very moist and cool environment.

5. Fertilization

The calyx spurred flower is very tolerant of poor soil and can grow normally in this kind of soil. However, since its branches and leaves grow very fast and it blooms a lot of flowers, it should be given additional fertilizer every half a month during the growing season. You cannot use nitrogen fertilizer alone, otherwise the plant will grow well but will rarely bloom. In autumn, you can stop applying nitrogen fertilizer and only use phosphorus and potassium fertilizer. No fertilizer is needed in winter.
