What should I do if the flowers at home don’t bloom? Check out 12 common ways to promote flowering of flowers!

1. Clivia

1. Lack of phosphorus and potassium fertilizers

Phosphorus and potassium can promote the differentiation of flower buds, while nitrogen fertilizer will promote the growth of Clivia leaves.

Solution:

Before the Clivia blooms, apply more phosphorus and potassium fertilizers, such as potassium dihydrogen phosphate, fully decomposed fish and shrimp shells or fish intestine water, eggshells, bone meal, etc.

About once every 7 to 10 days, pay attention to applying thin fertilizer frequently.

2. Insufficient light

Clivia cannot be exposed to direct sunlight. Many flower lovers may place Clivia in a relatively shady place. Clivia cannot be exposed to enough light, and its photosynthesis is weakened. Naturally, it cannot provide more nutrients for it to differentiate flower buds.

Solution:

It is best to place the Clivia on the south balcony separated by glass, and rotate the flowerpot every week, otherwise the leaves of the Clivia will easily grow crooked.

2. Kalanchoe

1. Insufficient light

Kalanchoe loves light and can only grow well if there is sufficient light. If there is insufficient light, the branches and leaves will grow too long and the branches will be thin and weak. It would be strange if flower buds could grow!

Solution:

Place the Kalanchoe on the south balcony or south windowsill, a place with very good light.

2. Insufficient fertilizer

The flowering period of Kalanchoe is very long, and it can bloom many times a year, which means that it has a great demand for fertilizer. Therefore, if you don't fertilize Kalanchoe and still want it to bloom, it is a very mysterious thing.

Solution:

Now is the flower bud differentiation period of Kalanchoe, and it needs to be fed with fully decomposed fish intestine water once a week, with a ratio of 1:50. If you want quick results, you can directly spray potassium dihydrogen phosphate, which is very effective.

3. Bougainvillea

1. Watering problem

Bougainvillea likes a humid environment, so flower lovers who grow Bougainvillea generally water it more frequently. However, if the environment is kept moist all the time, it will easily result in the Bougainvillea only growing leaves but not blooming.

Solution:

Control water, water it once every 15 to 20 days, and expose it to more sunlight to make the bougainvillea feel a sense of crisis. Repeat this cycle 2 to 3 times and the bougainvillea will grow flower buds.

2. Insufficient light

Some flower lovers grow bougainvillea indoors, but the placement may not be appropriate and the light may not be sufficient, so the bougainvillea will not bloom.

Solution:

Bougainvillea is best grown outdoors. The better the light, the more flowers it will bloom. If there are no outdoor conditions, please be sure to place it on the south balcony with very good light. Thank you.

3. The branches are too dense

Bougainvillea can easily grow side branches, and many flower lovers are reluctant to cut them off. But in fact, these branches will disperse nutrients, making it difficult for flower buds to grow on the branches.

Solution:

Every spring, weak branches, diseased branches, and overgrown branches should be cut back to reduce nutrient consumption, and the flower stalks should also be cut off after flowering.

4. Schlumbergera

1. The temperature is too low

The suitable growth temperature of Christmas cactus is above 15℃, but its flowering period is from October to February of the following year. During this period, the temperature is relatively low. If the indoor temperature cannot reach above 15℃, it will be difficult to produce flower buds.

Solution:

Grow Christmas cactus indoors.

If the indoor temperature does not reach above 15℃ in winter, you can use plastic bags to make a small greenhouse for Christmas cactus.

2. Always moving around

Some flower lovers will move the Christmas cactus around in order to give it sufficient light, but they don’t know that this is the culprit that causes the Christmas cactus to not bloom! Moreover, the flower buds of Christmas cactus will also fall off!

Solution:

Just place the Christmas cactus on the south balcony separated by glass~

5. Rose

1. Not pruning in time

Roses grow very fast. During the growth process, they will grow many side branches and horizontal branches. These branches will disperse nutrients, resulting in insufficient nutrients on each branch to differentiate flower buds.

Solution:

Cut off all the overgrown branches, thin branches, dry branches, diseased branches and branches after flowering of the rose!

2. Lack of fertilizer

Flowering is a very nutrient-consuming thing for roses. If fertilizers cannot be added in time, roses cannot accumulate enough nutrients and of course they cannot bloom.

Solution:

Generally, you should apply fully decomposed thin cake fertilizer once every 10 days, and once a week during the peak growth season of roses.

6. Camellia

1. The temperature is too low

Camellias need a temperature of about 10 to 15 degrees to produce flower buds. If the temperature is not reached, the flower buds will not grow, or if they grow, they will all fall off when the temperature drops...

Solution:

In winter, place the camellia indoors, in places such as the south balcony, and do not move it casually. If you move it too often, the camellia will die.

2. Insufficient humidity and lack of ventilation

Camellias like a humid environment. When growing them, it is best to spray water on the leaves of the camellia every day to increase the air humidity. At the same time, you should also open the windows for ventilation every day. If it is kept stuffy, it will also cause buds to fall off.

7. Jasmine

1. Insufficient light

Jasmine loves light, very much. If there is insufficient light, the flower buds cannot differentiate and naturally it will not bloom.

Solution:

If conditions permit, grow it outdoors. If not, place it on the south balcony. Make sure it gets sufficient light!

2. Soil is alkaline

Jasmine is a southern flower that likes slightly acidic soil. Northern flower lovers may ignore this point when caring for it, not knowing that this is the reason why your jasmine does not bloom!

Solution:

Add 1 to 2 drops of vinegar each time you water, or use ferrous sulfate to irrigate the roots, the ratio is 1:1000, about once a week.

8. Chrysanthemum

1. Too much light

Chrysanthemum is a short-day plant. If the daily sunshine time is too long, the flower buds of the chrysanthemum will not differentiate. In addition, light is also a light, which will also have an impact.

Solution:

If your home is very bright at night, it is best to put the chrysanthemums in a small dark room, or grow them outdoors directly.

2. Insufficient fertilizer

Flowering consumes nutrients. It is not easy to expect a flower to bloom well without fertilizer.

Solution:

After the beginning of autumn, apply a thin layer of bone flakes sauce residue water once a week. When the buds are about to bloom, add potassium dihydrogen phosphate solution once more. The ratio is 1:1000, and the flowers will bloom more beautifully.

9. Osmanthus

1. Not enough time

Osmanthus propagated by seeds will take about 10 years to bloom; Osmanthus propagated by grafting, layering, division, etc. will generally bloom the next year; Osmanthus propagated by cuttings will generally take 4 years to bloom.

Solution:

So think about how your osmanthus is propagated. If it is propagated by cuttings, wait 4 years first.

2. Insufficient fertilizer

Without nutrients, osmanthus will be powerless even if it wants to bloom, so dear flower lovers, you must fertilize osmanthus!

Solution:

Osmanthus likes pig manure. Fertilization should start in spring. During April and May, fertilize once every 10 to 15 days. During June and July, fertilize once every 7 to 10 days. The last time is in early August. Generally speaking, osmanthus flowers will bloom in large clusters!

Generally, there is no pig manure in cities, so you can use decomposed cake fertilizer liquid instead. If you can get pig manure, it is recommended to use it first.

3. Unsuitable soil

Osmanthus also likes slightly acidic soil. If the potting soil is too alkaline, it will affect the normal growth of osmanthus, let alone flowering.

Solution:

Generally, potted plants can be made of leaf mold + sandy loam in a ratio of 1:1. You can also add 2 to 3 drops of vinegar or ferrous sulfate when watering.

10. Azalea

1. Lack of phosphorus and potassium fertilizers

The main reason why azalea does not bloom is the lack of phosphorus and potassium fertilizers, which are the main forces that promote the formation of flower buds in azalea.

Solution:

During the flower bud differentiation period, timely add phosphorus and potassium fertilizers, such as wood ash (containing potassium fertilizer), eggshells (phosphorus fertilizer), decomposed animal bones (phosphorus fertilizer), etc., bury an appropriate amount in the flower pot, and it will bloom soon~

2. Too much watering

Poor drainage and excessive moisture can cause a series of problems such as yellowing of azalea leaves, which in turn leads to the inability to produce flower buds.

Solution:

The soil must be loose and breathable. You can use decomposed fine pine needle soil + coarse sand. Do not use thick and long pine needles. The ratio is 4:1.

At the same time, you should also pay attention to watering. Generally, rhododendrons grown indoors should be watered once every 3 to 5 days, and the soil should be kept slightly moist.

11. Orchid

1. Insufficient light

Although orchids do not like exposure to the scorching sun, it does not mean that they need to be too shaded. If orchids are placed in a shady place indoors for a long time, they will not be able to bloom due to insufficient photosynthesis.

Solution:

The best places to place orchids are south-facing windows and balconies, and windows should be opened frequently for ventilation.

2. Improper fertilizer and water management

Watering orchids is a science. If watering is not done properly, it will easily cause problems such as root rot, not to mention flowering.

Solution:

Water when the soil is dry and keep it slightly moist.

Orchids need to be fertilized with thin fertilizer, generally once every half a month, using a thin layer of rotted bean cake water each time.

12. Peony

1. No vernalization

Before the peony blooms, it must undergo a low-temperature treatment, which means spending 2 to 3 months in an environment of 0 to 10 degrees Celsius. Many flower lovers move the peonies indoors in winter, but the temperature cannot be reached at all, so the peony cannot bloom.

Solution:

Don't move peonies indoors in winter. Peonies can withstand temperatures as low as minus 30 degrees Celsius, so your worries are unnecessary!

2. Improper fertilizer and water

Peonies need sufficient nutrients to bloom, so they must be fertilized sufficiently before flowering, with fully decomposed cake fertilizer applied about once a week.

Solution:

During the bud-forming period of peony, watering needs to be controlled to inhibit the growth of branches and leaves. If you water too much, the leaves will grow too long, resulting in only leaves growing but no flowers.

As long as you master the right method,

I want the flowers to bloom continuously.

It’s still very simple!
