How to plant the Flower of Fortune
This flower can be planted through the use of seeds and also through the use of seedlings, requiring similar care. Thus, the soil must be rich in organic matter for efficient germination and healthy flowering.
When planting, choose a place that will not receive direct sunlight, but where it can be shaded and illuminated. This is because, as it is a succulent, the Flower-of-Fortuna may have its petals burned with direct exposure to the sun. Be careful!
- watering
Succulents don't require much care with watering, although they need to have the soil always wet. Therefore, the Flower-of-Fortuna should never be in soggy soil, which could make it sick, but always check the humidity. And water a little every time you feel the soil getting dry. Also, ensure that the pot you choose for your planting is well drained, so that the water does not puddle.
- Use fertilizers
The Flower of Fortune will do better if you use some common fertilizers to boost growth. However, once again it will not be working, as this fertilization should only happen 3 times a year. Choose fertilizers made from vegetables, such as vegetable and fruit peels, in addition to fruit pomace.
Following all these precautions, your plant will grow healthy and leave your home very cozy and bright!
