How to grow Zephyranthes in autumn

1. Increase lighting

Increasing light in autumn can improve the ability to resist pests and cold winter, so there is no need to block the sun, just let it get more sun. Ventilate the plant at night to increase the temperature difference between day and night, which can help it grow stronger.

2. Gain weight

After a summer of growth, the nutrients in the soil have been exhausted, so it needs to be replenished in autumn. The method of top dressing is to use organic fertilizer, which is applied once every ten days, and spray liquid fertilizer containing nitrogen on the leaves, and the frequency of use is also once every ten days. Replenishing nutrients in autumn can increase safety during the winter. The time for fertilization should be chosen on a sunny evening when the soil in the pot is slightly dry and the temperature is below 30 degrees. The next morning, the soil in the pot should be watered once to keep it moist.

3. Pruning

After its flowers bloom, it needs proper pruning to strengthen the plant. If the plants are too dense, you can remove excess, dry, and rotten branches to promote more balanced growth and increase its ornamental value.

4. Division

If it is propagated by division in autumn, the success rate will be higher than in other seasons. When dividing the plant, dig its roots out of the soil, gently remove the mud, then separate the roots into small pieces and trim off the rotten roots. Finally, rinse it with clean water, let it dry, and then plant it in a new pot.
