How to cultivate fire festival

Watering

The color of the leaves of the Fireweed Plant is red-green during the growing period, and red or pink during the water-free or dormant period. Watering has a great relationship with the leaf color. Water thoroughly when the weather is dry. Spring and autumn are the growing seasons, so you can water the plant more appropriately, but do not allow water to accumulate in the soil.

In general, don't water the plant as long as the soil is moist. Water it when it is completely dry, but the roots must not be waterlogged, as this will easily cause them to rot. It also depends on the size of the pot. Small pots dry out quickly, so the watering cycle can be shortened appropriately.

illumination

Adequate light can make the leaves of the fire festival plant turn red, shorten the distance between leaves, and make the plant look short and strong. If there is less light, the leaves will turn emerald green.

Except for appropriate shade in summer, full sun is fine at other times.

Reproduction method

Fire festival can be propagated by cuttings and division. Cut the branches, dry the wounds, and directly cut them into slightly moist soil.

When the plant grows too tall, it should be pruned in time to control the height of the plant, encourage new branches and leaves to sprout at the base, and maintain the beautiful shape of the plant.

Precautions

The lower leaves of some old plants of Fire Festival will gradually fall off. In order to maintain their beauty, they should be frequently renewed with new plants. The old plants can also be made into bonsai, by removing the old leaves and promoting the sprouting of new leaves.

In winter, the Fire Plant should be placed in a sunny place indoors to keep the soil in the pot dry, and the pot should be changed every two years. When watering in summer, remember not to over-wet the plant, otherwise it will easily cause root rot.
