Gardenia and Clivia...no blooming for 3 years? If you don’t do this, don’t expect to bloom!

Clivia not blooming

I have been growing the Clivia at home for three to five years. The leaves are normal, but it never blooms! The reason why Clivia does not bloom is usually due to lack of nutrients in the soil, so it is best to change the soil for Clivia once a year.

1. Remove from the basin

Before changing the soil for Clivia, stop watering for 5-10 days to allow the soil moisture to evaporate. This will make it easier to remove from the pot without damaging the roots.

2. Root pruning

Remove the soil from the roots and cut off rotten and hollow roots. This step depends on the specific situation and is not necessary if the roots are not rotten.

3. Prepare the pot with soil

Place two broken tiles at the bottom of the flowerpot, and spread a layer of nutrient soil made of rotten leaves, pine needles, perlite, and charcoal residue in a ratio of 5:2:2:1.

4. Put the roots into the pot

Place the roots of the Clivia upwards, fill the empty space at the roots with culture soil, use the roots to hold the soil, and place it face downwards in the pot.

4. Filling and burying materials

Hold the roots with one hand and fill the soil with the other hand to keep the Clivia straight. Compact the soil when filling, and be careful to avoid the roots to prevent them from being crushed. Bury solid fertilizers such as roasted sunflower seeds in the soil.

5. Water thoroughly

After changing the soil, water it heavily and thoroughly for three consecutive days.

Jasmine does not bloom

The main reason why potted jasmine never blooms is that the aging branches are not pruned in time, which prevents the jasmine from sprouting again. Therefore, pruning is essential if you want jasmine to bloom.

1. Remove leaves before cutting

Before pruning jasmine, remove all the leaves so that the jasmine branches can receive more sunlight.

2. Cut off old and weak branches

Aging branches are not conducive to the regrowth of new branches of jasmine. Failure to prune them in time will miss the growth period of jasmine, and eventually result in large leaves and branches without flowers.

3. New buds sprout after two weeks

After about two weeks, the pruned jasmine will grow new buds. Wait for the new buds to grow into branches, and it will be easy to bloom.

4. Keep trimming and shaping

After jasmine grows new branches, it is necessary to continue to prune and shape it to prevent it from growing too tall. Dipotassium hydrogen phosphate can be applied before flowering to promote flowering.

Gardenia not blooming

Many flower lovers like to buy a pot of gardenia in spring, hoping to see the gardenia bloom in a few days. However, they are surprised that it may not bloom even after ten days or half a month. If you don’t change the pot when you get home, don’t expect the gardenia to bloom!

1. Soak in water for disinfection

After the gardenia has adapted to the home environment, find a deep bucket, fill it with water, put in a piece of aspirin, put the gardenia and the soil in to sterilize and disinfect it. After half an hour, shake the gardenia to remove the soil.

2. Soak in rooting water

Transfer the gardenia that has been soaked overnight to the rooting water and continue soaking it.

3. Prepare the pot with soil

Mix garden soil, coconut coir, vermiculite and perlite to make nutrient soil. Break off a few pieces of plastic foam and spread them on the bottom of the pot, then cover them with nutrient soil.

4. Plant in the pot

Move the soaked gardenia into a pot, water it thoroughly, and move it to a cool and ventilated place. You can poke a few holes in a plastic bottle, fill it with water, place it on the flower pot, and let the water drip slowly.

Bougainvillea does not bloom

For bougainvillea, pruning is the most critical step if you want it to bloom and bloom more.

Pruning before flowering:

1. Cut off weak and long branches

Cut off all the overly long and weak branches to promote germination.

2. Water thoroughly

Water the pruned bougainvillea thoroughly and place it in a cool and ventilated place for maintenance.

Pruning after flowering

1. Cut off the flower stalks

Cut off the withered flower stalks to prevent them from growing too tall and affecting germination.

2. Cut off new branches

Cut back new growth to 1/3 of its length, leaving a strong bud.
