Most people think of it as a foliage plant and appreciate its small and exquisite leaves. But it will also bloom. It will have small white and pink flowers. After the flowering period, it will produce seeds. However, the ornamental of the flower is not strong, it will have a light odor, and to a certain extent, it will affect the effect of leaf observation.
It mainly blooms in summer, and its flowering period is in April. After flowering, it will bear fruit, and its fruiting period is in July.
Generally, the flowering period of s.diffusa will last for a short period of time, but if the phosphorus element is too much, it will make s.diffusa bloom continuously and the flowering period will be prolonged. If there is a situation of continuous flowering, we can use some compound fertilizer containing nitrogen and potassium elements to relieve the phenomenon of continuous flowering. In the daily maintenance, reducing the use of phosphorus fertilizer will make it difficult to bloom.
To tell you the truth, the ornamental value of the flowering is not high, and there are many flower friends' reactions. When the flowering of the herb, the leaves will become smaller or even shorter, which will affect the ornamental value of the herb. There are flower friends said that after flowering, the copperhead will bear seeds, which can be planted and propagated. Therefore, there are generally two ways to solve the problem.
The first way is to leave it alone and allow it to bloom. After the flowers have withered and planted, seeds can be used for reproduction. However, it should be noted that the success rate of sowing propagation is lower than cutting propagation.
The second way is to cut off the flowers when they bloom. If you don't want to keep the seeds, just cut them off. Leaving the flowers will not only affect the ornamental effect, but also make the flowers and leaves compete for nutrients, which is not conducive to its growth.
