How to Make Strelitzia Bloom on New Year's Day

Actual flowering time

If this kind of flower blooms, it will last for a very long time, basically up to 100 days. The normal flowering time is in winter, and the flowers will bloom when all conditions are suitable. The flower shape is very peculiar, like a freedom-loving, positive bird, which is where the name comes from. Their color is basically orange-yellow, and they exude a sense of nobility from the inside out. People who like this kind of flower are considered to be very tasteful.

Adjustment of flowering period

fertilizer

Don't overdo it and try to give them nutrients as much as possible just because they are about to bloom. This is not a good idea. Before flowering, the plants are already growing vigorously. In order to make them bloom as soon as possible, you can reduce the use of nitrogen fertilizer and let them focus on flowering. The use of P fertilizer can be increased. If there is previously prepared fully decomposed chicken manure mixed with a certain concentration of potassium dihydrogen phosphate, it can also be used.

The size of the pot

Don't think that having more soil underneath will provide them with enough nutrients, and then use a very large pot for them. In fact, this is not the case. If the pot is too big, most of the nutrients will be occupied by the roots. The roots will grow longer and more developed, but they will not supply nutrients to the upper part. Moreover, fleshy roots will form in the pot, which will prevent the differentiation of the entire flower buds and affect normal flowering. So you should use pots that are as small as possible to ensure that they can grow normally.

Don’t plant too deep

Don't plant them too deep, otherwise the soil will bury the roots and stems, and the flower buds will not be able to continue to grow. So when the season arrives, when using a new pot, just bury the roots, not too deep.
