As long as you do this, Jasmine's longevity will bloom like chicken blood!

Bougainvillea

1. Water control

If you want bougainvillea to bloom, water control is the key. The degree of water control is that the leaves droop slightly and then wilt slightly. Spray water on the leaves 1 to 2 times a day, and then water thoroughly once every 10 to 15 days. Repeat this process 3 to 4 times and the bougainvillea will be almost ready to bloom. After controlling the water, water it again and it will bloom!

2. Apply more fertilizer

Flowering requires a lot of nutrients, so fertilization is very important, especially from August to October, you must apply more fertilizer and directly water the flowers with dilute fertilizer water such as cake fertilizer water or alum fertilizer water. At the same time, spray more potassium dihydrogen phosphate.

3. Proper pruning

Bougainvillea is very resistant to pruning, so don't be reluctant! Now there are three main parts to pruning. Prune off overgrown branches, as these branches will compete with flowering branches for fertilizer and water, so they should be cut off.
The main purpose of topping is to make Bougainvillea grow more side branches. For example, the two places circled by flowers in the picture below have the tops removed, and then branches are grown below~ Cut off the overly dense branches. If the branches are too dense, it will affect ventilation and light, which is not conducive to the blooming of Bougainvillea. Therefore, appropriate thinning is required.

4. Increase lighting

Bougainvillea likes light, so it must be exposed to sufficient light on a normal basis. If conditions permit, it is best to grow it outdoors. If not, please place it on a south balcony with good lighting and longer sunshine hours!

Rose

1. Pull the main branch horizontally

Divide the rose branches into two parts and pull them to both sides to prevent the roses from growing vertically upwards. This is actually removing the apical dominance. After a period of time, you will find that many new buds will appear on the lower part of the branches! When the tender buds grow into new, stronger branches, simply cut off the branches that were previously pulled horizontally. Many flower lovers have reported that their branches were broken. Some flower lovers have provided methods, such as the one shown in the picture below, which is to hang a brush directly on the branch. If you don’t have one at home, you can hang something else that is relatively lightweight that can bend the branch!
After pulling horizontally, there are new branches on each bud point, and there are flower buds on each branch~

2. Cut off the remaining flowers and buds

There are still many roses blooming now, but in fact, the flowers at this time are generally very small, and many are even ugly, and it also wastes nutrients, so, pinch them off! Save nutrients for autumn blooms! Just remove the red line below.

3. Topping promotes lateral branch germination

Everyone must be familiar with topping. No matter what kind of plant you want to grow out of the pot, you must top it and pinch the tips! Just remove the top of the rose slightly! Just cut it off with the scissors in the picture below!

4. 45-degree side pot promotes germination

If you don’t want to use scissors, you can place the flower pot at a 45-degree angle, which still takes advantage of the rose’s apical advantage. After tilting, the original straight branches lose their apical advantage, and some of the bottom nodes will grow new buds~ The results after 3 weeks at 45 degrees▼

5. Fertilization

If the temperature is below 30 degrees, you need to apply more fertilizer, such as bean cake water, fish intestine water, etc., about once a week. The temperature in some areas is still very hot now, so you can wait until the temperature drops before applying fertilizer!

6. Increase lighting

Light is also a point that cannot be ignored. If you want roses to bloom more, the key is to get more sunlight.

chrysanthemum

1. Topping

The pinching and topping that Huahua is talking about here is mainly for those chrysanthemums with smaller flowers. Pinch off the tender buds at the top. After doing this 2 to 3 times, they will bloom perfectly in the pot!

2. Apply more fertilizer

Chrysanthemums like fertilizer very much, and their favorite fertilizer is the fertilizer made from purple fermented sesame paste. However, this fertilizer is heavier and can be used as a base fertilizer. In addition, before flowering, only a mixed solution of 0.1% urea and 0.05% potassium dihydrogen phosphate can be used as water fertilizer, and chrysanthemums should be topdressed once every 5 days.

3. Reduce lighting time

Please note that Huahua is talking about lighting time, not sunshine time. That is to say, the light at night will also affect the flowering of chrysanthemums. Chrysanthemum is a short-day plant and can only bloom when the light time is less than 10 hours. Therefore, if you grow chrysanthemums at home, you should keep them in a small dark room at night during the autumn and winter when they are blooming, and avoid exposure to light.

Osmanthus fragrans

1. Prepare slightly acidic soil

Flower lovers in the north should pay special attention. If the soil is alkaline for a long time, the leaves will wither or even die in 2 to 3 months. It is recommended that you mix 5 parts of mountain mud, 3 parts of humus soil, and 2 parts of sandy soil when planting, or mix half of leaf mold and half of sandy loam.

2. Apply more fertilizer

Osmanthus prefers pig manure fertilizer. There was an old saying that if you want the fragrance of osmanthus, prepare more pig manure tanks! However, there is definitely no pig manure in the city now. You can use fully decomposed bean cake fertilizer. Normally, you can apply fertilizer once every half a month. When the osmanthus flowers are about to bloom, you should apply it once every 7 to 10 days.

3. Pruning

The pruning of osmanthus is relatively simple. Generally, it involves cutting off overgrown branches, thin branches, branches infected with diseases and pests, and branches that are too dense. The main purpose is to enhance ventilation, concentrate nutrients, and nurture more flower buds and more flowers! For example, in the picture below, the branches are too dense. Should we reduce some in the center to allow for better ventilation?

Kalanchoe

1. Fertilize before flowering

Before the Kalanchoe blooms, it is necessary to fertilize it. You can use rotted bean cake water, rice water, etc. However, be careful to wait until the temperature is below 30℃ before doing so. And, do it once every half a month~ You can also use specially purchased flower fertilizer, but be sure to apply it thinly and frequently, or fertilize according to the instructions.

2. Pinching and topping

How can it bloom without pinching the tops and pinching the flowers? For example, in the picture below, side buds grew out after the first pinching. If you feel that it is still not lush enough, wait until the side buds grow up and then pinch them again! Until you are satisfied!

3. Water in time and get more sun

Other things that need attention are watering and light! The more light the better, and it is best to place it on the south balcony. Water when the soil is dry and wet. Do not water the Kalanchoe too much, as it will easily rot.

Petunia

1. Pick the top!

The trick to make petunias bloom out of the pot is really simple! Just pinch the heart! And it’s more than once topping! It usually takes 3 to 4 times to adjust the petunia plant shape to your liking. Before pinching▼
After pinching▼

2. Fertilize!

Flowering consumes a lot of nutrients, so before planting, just fill a handful of slow-release fertilizer at the bottom of the pot. For daily top dressing, you can use diluted organic fertilizer, cake fertilizer, chicken manure fertilizer, etc., but it must be diluted. Before flowering, spray potassium dihydrogen phosphate once every 7 to 10 days!

3. Big water and big sun!

Nowadays, petunias have very high requirements for water and light. When the temperature reaches 38 or 39 degrees or even higher, they basically need to be watered twice a day. As long as the water can keep up, it is no problem to put it outside in the sun.

Jasmine

1. Remove the remaining flowers after flowering

Now is the flowering period of jasmine. Many flower lovers just leave their flowers as they are after they bloom. In fact, this is wrong! Prune it carefully after it blooms, and it will bloom again! Remove the red lines in the picture below. You can also trim off the overly long branches, because the very long ones are actually leggy branches, and keeping them will consume nutrients. After trimming▼

2. Apply more fertilizer

Jasmine likes a lot of fertilizer during its growth period, so you must not apply too little fertilizer. Basically, you can apply it once every 6 to 7 days, using rapeseed cake water. You can also use bean cake water as a substitute, or you can make your own organic fertilizer from kitchen waste.

3. Get more sun!

You must, you must, get more sun! There is a saying that jasmine cannot be killed by the sun, but it is rare for it to bloom without sunlight! The more sun it gets, the more flowers it blooms and the more fragrant they are!

4. Watering should be sufficient

Jasmine likes water, especially now that the temperature is high, it needs more watering! Just water it once in the morning and evening!
In fact, to sum it up, it is very simple to make the flowers bloom. Just apply enough fertilizer, pinch the tips more often, expose the flowers to more sunlight and don't let them lack water. If you do these things, even if you are a novice in growing flowers, you can make the flowers bloom!
