Blossom of Eupatorium

There is actually no exact time when the barberry blooms. It is possible to bloom in winter and spring, but it usually blooms more in spring.

There are two meanings of thorny plum. The first one is auspiciousness and good luck, because thorny plum is also known as Qilin flower, and Qilin has always been a kind of auspicious animal in Chinese history. The second meaning is wealth, because the flower of thorny plum is bright red, which gives people the feeling of being rich and noble.

Methods of cultivating and flowering thorn plum

Barbary amaranth likes light, and its growth and flowering cannot be separated from sunlight. During maintenance, insufficient light may cause it to bloom fewer flowers or even no flowers. During maintenance, it is best to place it in a place with bright scattered light to promote vigorous flowering of the plant. Pay attention to proper shading when the light is too strong in summer.

How long does it take for the barberry to bloom?

The barberry can bloom every year. If it is well cared for, it can even keep blooming all year round. However, if it is not properly cared for, it will be difficult for it to bloom.

How to grow thorny plum more vigorously

1. The growth of barberry requires sufficient sunlight, especially after entering the flowering period. The maintenance environment should not be too dark, and there should be sufficient light. If it is maintained indoors, it can be moved to a sunny balcony. If the light is strong, it can be slightly shaded, which can effectively prolong the flowering period.

2. Barbary amaranth is a fertilizer-loving plant. If you want it to grow vigorously, you need to apply thin liquid fertilizer every 15-20 days. Never apply concentrated fertilizer, otherwise it will burn the roots and affect the normal growth of the plant. Barbary amaranth also has a relatively large demand for water during normal growth. Generally, water it once every 3-5 days, and no water accumulation should occur.

How to care for the barberry to bloom quickly

The soil for barberry can be prepared by mixing humus and sand. The potting soil needs to be replaced every 2-3 years. Sufficient light should be provided during the growth period, but avoid excessive sunlight. Nitrogen-potassium mixed fertilizer can be applied 2-3 times in spring and autumn. When it grows to a certain height, a trellis needs to be built.

Reasons why the thorn plum does not bloom

The thorny bush needs to grow in an environment with sufficient sunlight, so light is very important for it. If there is insufficient sunlight, the thorny bush will not bloom. Although the thorny bush does not have high requirements for fertilizer, if too little fertilizer is applied, the thorny bush will not bloom. Improper pruning is also one of the reasons why the thorny bush does not bloom.
