Do this before and after the flowers bloom, and you will make a pot flourish and bloom as you wish.

Schlumbergera

Before flowering:

1. If you want Christmas cactus to bloom more, fertilization is the key. During the flower bud differentiation period of Christmas cactus, you can spray 0.2% potassium dihydrogen phosphate solution or superphosphate solution on the plant, about once every 7-10 days, which can promote flower bud differentiation and bud formation, making Christmas cactus bloom more.

2. Apply more nitrogen-containing fertilizers on a regular basis, and apply top dressing about once every 7-10 days. You can bury granular compound fertilizers in the flowerpots and let them gradually dissolve with watering. You can also use fully decomposed bean cake fertilizers, Chinese medicine residue fertilizers, fruit peel fertilizers, etc. mixed with water to make the Christmas cactus plants grow strong and prosperous!

After flowering:

If you want Christmas cactus to bloom many times, pruning after flowering is the key.

1. After the Christmas cactus has finished blooming, all the remaining flowers should be trimmed off to reduce excessive consumption of nutrients. As shown in the picture, the red lines are the remaining flowers that need to be trimmed off.

2. Before the summer dormancy or semi-dormant period, pruning should be carried out to cut off all the weak, wilted, leggy, diseased and insect-infested stem nodes, as well as all the overlapping stem nodes in the middle. This will not only concentrate nutrients on strong branches, but also increase the ventilation and light transmission of the plant and reduce the occurrence of diseases and pests.

Geranium

Before flowering:

1. If you want geraniums to bloom more, you should apply more phosphorus and potassium fertilizers before they bloom. You can make your own phosphorus and potassium fertilizers by fully decomposing fish bones, fruit peels, vegetable leaves, etc., or you can spray 0.2% potassium dihydrogen phosphate solution on the plants to encourage geraniums to bloom more.

2. In order to promote the normal growth of geranium, you can apply compound fertilizer about 1-2 times a month, mainly bury it on the edge of the flowerpot, not close to the root system; or combine it with watering every 10 days or so, apply decomposed cake fertilizer water, or bean dregs water, which can promote the growth and development of geranium.

After flowering:

1. After the geranium blooms, the remaining flowers should be cut off to avoid unnecessary nutrient consumption.

2. In addition to the dead flowers, branch pruning should also be carried out during the summer dormancy period to prevent black rot on the branches. At the same time, because geranium flowers bloom at the top of new branches, the old branches will no longer produce flower buds after blooming, so shortening the long branches that have bloomed is conducive to the growth of new branches and continued bud formation and flowering.

Milan

Before flowering:

1. Fertilizer is the key to Milan's flowering. Because it blooms so many times, each time it consumes a lot of nutrients, so you should apply more nitrogen-containing fertilizers normally or after flowering to promote vigorous growth of the plant. If you have moldy soybeans at home, you can use them as fertilizer after they are composted and add water to water the flowers. Fertilize about once a month.

2. Starting from May, Milan enters the bud formation stage. At this time, the nitrogen fertilizer content should be reduced and more phosphorus fertilizer should be applied. Chicken manure fertilizer, eggshell fertilizer, and rice water are all good phosphorus fertilizers. At the same time, spray 0.2% potassium dihydrogen phosphate solution or 0.5% superphosphate solution on the leaves to promote multiple flowering of Milan.

After flowering:

1. The post-flowering pruning of Milan is generally done within a week when the flowers are about to wither. All the remaining flowers should be cut off, and then all the dense branches, long branches and thin branches should be cut off. Milan is not afraid of pruning. The more it is pruned, the better it grows. After pruning, Milan looks like a circle from a bird's-eye view and like an umbrella from the side.

2. Change the pot of Milan every 1-2 years. When repotting, you can combine it with heavy pruning, mainly in spring, which can allow Milan to grow more side branches and thus bloom more.
