How to make cockscomb bloom on New Year's Day

1. Repotting in Advance

In winter we have to move it indoors because the temperature outside is too low, which is not good for it to bloom. Insulate it in advance so that it can remain at the same temperature in summer and autumn, which is exactly the temperature when it blooms, and the environment will not change too much. Flowering will be normal.

2. Watering

Because cockscomb itself is very afraid of stagnant water, we must control the amount of water when watering it. Especially when winter comes, the temperature is not very high, and the growth is relatively slow. If you water it again, it will not be able to absorb the water well, but it will easily accumulate water in the pot, which will greatly affect its roots. So watering must be reduced.

3. Temperature

In winter we must ensure that the temperature is appropriate, neither too high nor too low. The temperature must be sufficient for it to bloom, so as to promote the development of its buds. In the north, the rooms are generally heated, so the temperature is not a problem. However, in the south, the indoor temperature in winter should be kept at around 18 degrees. Otherwise, after freezing, the entire plant will easily wither. It will not bloom well on New Year's Day.

4. Pests and diseases

Before it blooms, pests and diseases will also affect its flowering time. Generally, we can check whether there are some small insects on its leaves or buds. If there are, we should spray them with some chemical solutions in time to kill those insects directly and prevent the plants from being damaged. It is also very important for it to bloom on time.

5. Lighting

The last thing to talk about is light. Basically, if every plant wants to bloom, light is essential. Especially cockscomb, it also likes sunlight very much, so in winter it must be placed in a place with sufficient sunlight to make it more nutritionally sufficient and facilitate better flowering.
