Flowering time of Lagerstroemia indica

Lagerstroemia indica, also known as itchy flower, itchy tree, purple flower and purple orchid, is a very beautiful ornamental plant, which can also blossom. It is known as a hundred-year-old red, and usually blooms in April-May every year, with a flowering period of about one month and a long viewing time.

Maintenance of Lagerstroemia indica at flowering stage

Lagerstroemia indica needs to be placed in a well-lit place when maintaining the flowering period, so that the color of the flowers will be more vivid and the flowering period will be appropriately extended. Water it in time at ordinary times, because it likes warm and humid soil.

Flowering and watering

When Lagerstroemia indica blooms, it is necessary to ensure sufficient water. When watering, we should adhere to the principle of being dry but not wet to avoid water accumulation.

Fertilization at flowering stage

Lagerstroemia indica is a plant that likes fertilizer very much, so fertilization is essential. At the peak of growth, it is necessary to fertilize many times to promote the growth and flowering of flowers.

Flowering pruning

Because the branches of Lagerstroemia indica grow rapidly, they should be cut thin, otherwise the branches will climb and entangle together, which will consume a lot of nutrients and is not conducive to flowering.

Treatment of Lagerstroemia indica after flowering

After the flowering period, Lagerstroemia indica can be pruned again, mainly for long branches and unsightly branches, and some too dense twigs should be pruned again, which can promote the ear to become larger in spring and naturally droop when flowering.
