How to promote the flowering of Wisteria and how to promote flowering (how to care for Crape Myrtle to make it bloom)

Step 1: Sufficient light

Crape myrtle loves sunlight very much and should not be kept in a dark environment for a long time.

If you want to force the crape myrtle to bloom, you must place it in a location with sufficient light. Through continuous photosynthesis, it will promote the rapid development and maturation of the reproductive organs, and finally achieve the purpose of inducing flowering.

It is recommended to place the crape myrtle outdoors for natural sunlight exposure before it blooms, and try to place it on a south-facing balcony indoors, where it can receive more than 4 hours of sunlight every day.

Step 2: Adequate nutrition

Crape myrtle likes fertile soil environment and is afraid of long-term maintenance without fertilization. If you want to promote flowering of crape myrtle, you must carry out maintenance in accordance with its growth habits that like fertility, so as to achieve an effective flowering effect.

It is recommended that no fertilization and maintenance should be carried out in winter, and only in spring, summer and autumn.

For example, use nutrient-rich cake fertilizer for maintenance in spring, dilute it with clean water, and do it every 25 days.

When you see flower buds sprouting, use potassium dihydrogen phosphate, which has a flowering-promoting effect. Dilute it with clean water and apply it every 10 days or so until the flowers stop blooming.

Step 3: Timely pruning

The branching ability of crape myrtle is particularly strong. As long as the maintenance environment is suitable, it can continuously sprout new buds and branches.

If there is no pruning maintenance for a long time, weak branches, diseased branches, dead branches, etc. will consume the limited nutrients of the plant, causing the flowers to fail to bloom.

It is recommended that when you see flowers withering, branches drying up, or branches becoming sick, you should immediately take pruning measures to concentrate nutrients to promote flowering.

Step 4: Keep it moist

Although crape myrtle cannot tolerate excessively wet soil, it prefers a moist growing environment, especially during the growth and flowering period. If a certain humidity is not maintained at this time, the plant will not bloom.

It is recommended to water the soil thoroughly after it is dry. Maintain a certain humidity by spraying water through the air on a daily basis, such as 50%.
