Too strong light will cause the plant to be short and the leaves to curl, so pay attention to shade in summer. 2. Bulbous begonia is a shallow-rooted plant. Water it less during the budding period and keep the soil moist. The temperature is high in summer, so it needs to be watered once every 1-2 days.

During the growing period, you can apply decomposed thin cake fertilizer water or compound fertilizer once every 10 days. During the bud formation period, phosphorus-containing fertilizers need to be applied twice, such as 0.5% potassium dihydrogen phosphate or superphosphate solution. 4. If you find that the leaves are light purple, it means that there is too much nitrogen fertilizer and you need to reduce the amount of fertilizer or extend the fertilization time; if you find that the leaves are light green, it means that there is a lack of fertilizer and you need to increase the frequency and amount of fertilization. Normal leaves are dark green and fertilizer should not be sprinkled on the leaves. Chlorophytum comosumAs a hanging plant, Chlorophytum comosum is loved by many flower lovers.

Remove 2/3 of the soil, then add leaf mold, garden soil, and perlite in a ratio of 5:5:1 to mix together to form new soil. 4.

In summer, it should be placed in a ventilated place indoors to avoid direct sunlight, otherwise the leaves will easily turn yellow. Staying in a shady environment for a long time will cause the leaves to grow too long and the leaf patterns to decrease, affecting the appearance. 2. The fertilizer requirements are not high, and a thin nitrogen fertilizer can be applied once every 15-20 days. Too much nitrogen fertilizer can cause the leaves to become lighter in color. It is not advisable to apply fertilizer during the high temperatures in summer, and stop applying fertilizer in winter. (Source: Baidu Knows) 3.

The flowering period of petunia is relatively long. During the growth period, nitrogen-containing fertilizers can be applied 1-2 times a month, such as decomposed bean dregs, Chinese medicine residues, etc. 4. Pinch the tops of the plants twice before flowering. When the plant grows more than 6 leaves, do the first pinching, remove the top and keep the lower 3-4 leaves; do the second pinching 3-5 weeks after the first pinching. After two pinchings, the plant can become fuller and the number of flowers can be increased. PetuniaPetunia is probably a must-grow flower for flower lovers.

In order to make the petunia bloom out of the pot, it is necessary to pinch the tops of the petunias. Generally, the spring growth period is chosen. The first pinching should be done after 6 true leaves appear, and the second pinching can be done 1-2 months after the first pinching.

The varieties with many silvery-white scales on the leaves require stronger light, while the varieties with light green leaves that droop naturally can be placed in a brightly lit living room and need to be well ventilated. 3. Spring is the most active growth period for air plants. You can water them about once every two days. After watering, pick up the air plants with your hands, shake them gently, and then place them in a ventilated place to dry. 4. If you find rotten leaves, you need to trim them in time.
