How to make winter red bloom on New Year's Day

Normal flowering period of plants

Generally speaking, the flowering period of this plant is in late winter and early spring, which is around February and March. So, if you want it to bloom on New Year's Day, you have to find a way to advance its flowering period. The following are the detailed measures.

Specific method

Adjust the lighting:

Anyone who grows flowers knows that light plays an indispensable role in the growth and flowering of plants. What's more, this plant itself loves light very much. The principle of this method is relatively simple, which is to adjust the growth and development speed of plants by adjusting the light time and intensity. For this plant, the purpose is to make it bloom earlier, so what we need to do is to increase its lighting time and, if conditions permit, increase the intensity. During winter, the number of hours of daylight decreases significantly in most parts of our country. So, after the sun sets every day, we need to give the plants artificial light for a few hours. This method is also effective and has a wide range of applications.

Adjust water and fertilizer:

When other conditions are almost the same, if there is sufficient supply of water and fertilizer, the flowering period of the plant will be advanced accordingly. However, it should be noted that this method is only an auxiliary measure. If the plant is close to flowering before New Year's Day, this method will make it bloom exactly on New Year's Day. If the gap is very long, that is, there is no sign of flowering before New Year's Day, then this method will not play a decisive role. Therefore, we usually choose to use this method in combination with other methods.
