Can it bloom in winter?

The flowering period is winter, so it can bloom normally in winter, but it is necessary to grasp the flowering environment, especially the environment when the buds are formed. Otherwise, other problems may arise even during the normal flowering period.

Flowering conditions

Sunlight: In late autumn, the plant must be placed in a sunny place so that it can receive sunlight throughout the day. This is conducive to the formation of flower buds, and the flowers will be large and colorful when they bloom.

Temperature: During the bud formation period, the temperature balance must be maintained. Although it can tolerate temperatures as low as minus 8 degrees Celsius, if the temperature changes too quickly, the buds will suffer frost damage at 0 degrees and will be unable to bloom.

Ventilation: Good ventilation is essential during the flowering period, which is very beneficial to the opening of the flowers, but it should not be placed in a windy place, otherwise the unopened buds will wither prematurely.

Humidity: A certain level of humidity should be maintained not only during the flowering period, but also in other seasons. This is beneficial to their growth and flowering.
