How to Raise Longgu Flower to Bloom (Precautions for Longgu Culture)

The key points of the maintenance of the dragon bone flower should be done well at 5 o'clock. It can grow 1 meter a year, and it looks like a tree from a distance. It's too atmospheric!

The keel belongs to Euphorbiaceae, and the common varieties are Bawangbian and Zicaiyunge. We often refer to it as keel.

Their maintenance methods are the same, and they all like a warm, well-ventilated and sunny environment. Many plants can't grow without these requirements, such as soil, watering, fertilization, illumination and pruning.

I. Soil

The keel root system is underdeveloped, and it likes loose and breathable sandy loam, which is similar to the soil for raising cactus. You can mix half of large-grained river sand, cinder or perlite in nutrient soil or pastoral soil. The quality should be heavier, because the keel is tall and thick, the soil is too loose, it is easy to fall down, and it is top-heavy.

Second, water.

The keel has a thick stem and a strong ability to store water and nutrients. The water should be dry and thoroughly watered. In the growing season, if it is well ventilated, proper watering is also necessary.

Third, lighting.

The growth of keel needs sufficient light, but it is very afraid of exposure. Summer should be properly shaded and placed in a semi-shady place. Adequate light can be given in other seasons. Insufficient light, long stem nodes, different thicknesses and unsightly.

Fourth, fertilization.

Keels grow faster in the growing season, and nitrogen and potassium fertilizers should be supplemented twice a month. You can pour cake fertilizer, soybean water and rice washing water yourself, or you can use slow release fertilizer or high nitrogen and high potassium fertilizer. Adequate fertilizer supplement can make it grow strong.

Fifth, pruning

The keel is not strong in branching ability and easy to grow into a solitary shape. If you want to make it beautiful, you can trim and top it when it grows to about 30cm, keep the plant height of 10 to 20 cm, and keep three lateral branches. Each branch can leave one branch for the side branch to branch again, and the side branch can grow to 20 to 30 cm, and then it can be trimmed and topped. Each side branch retains more than three side branches. In this way, nine lateral branches can grow, and the keel will not be top-heavy no matter how high it is. Because there is uniform support at the bottom.

Keels are relatively afraid of cold, and the temperature should be kept above 10 degrees in winter. The keel maintained in this way grows fast and the plant shape is beautiful. You can get to the roof in a few years. It's very beautiful.
