When does Michelia bloom?

1. Flowering time

It usually blooms in April and May every year, which is at the turn of spring and summer. The flowers are light yellow with red or purple edges. They have a sweet fragrance and smell very pleasant, like a girl with a very sweet smile. When the plant is just starting to grow, proper pruning of the tips can increase the flowering period. Flowers can bloom in the other three seasons except winter, but not as vigorously as in April and May. The fragrance is the same, so in order to see more flowers, proper pruning can be done.

2. Reasons for not opening

If the plant does not bloom for a long time, there may be a problem with the maintenance method, and adjustments can be made based on the specific reasons.

1. Loam: The loam used for cultivation is very important. If it is too sticky or compacted, it will not bloom. You can replace it with a mixture of leaf mold, sandy soil, and garden soil in proportion to ensure that it can bloom smoothly.

2. Fertilization: If no nutrients are applied before, the flowers may not bloom due to insufficient nutrient supply. Because flowers consume a lot of nutrients during growth, in order to promote flowering and improve the quality of flowering, you can supplement some nutrients containing phosphorus in the previous period of time.
