Don’t wait until the flowers don’t bloom before you regret it. Do these things now to ensure that your flowers bloom

Rose

Fertilization

The reason why roses do not bloom or bloom very little is probably due to lack of nutrition, but it is best not to fertilize during the flowering period. Therefore, if you want it to bloom big and numerous, you need to fertilize as early as possible before the flowering period!

1. Fishy water

The so-called fishy water is the water left after washing the fish, which is mixed with fish scales, fish blood, etc. and poured on the roses. If the rose is planted in the ground, you can bury fish intestines.

2. Topdressing

After budding in spring, the rose should be fertilized every 10 days. You can dilute the purchased compound fertilizer with water at a ratio of 1:100 and then water the flowers, or you can dilute the homemade organic liquid fertilizer and water the roots.

To make your own liquid fertilizer, you can put vegetable leaves, fruit peels, etc. in a bottle, seal it, and place it in the sun for about three months.

3. Potassium dihydrogen phosphate

Spraying leaves with potassium dihydrogen phosphate solution is one of the common methods to promote flowering. It is usually diluted with water at a ratio of 1:1000, once a week. After the flower buds crack, there is no need to spray again.

Maintenance

1. Sunlight

During the growing season, roses should receive sunlight in a timely manner. Potted roses are best placed on the south balcony, and if conditions permit, they should be moved outdoors to receive open sunlight in the morning and evening.

2. Watering

Roses should be guaranteed to have sufficient water during the growing period. It is best to touch the surface of the soil in the pot frequently with your hand and water it when it is dry.

Gardenia

soil

Gardenia is a southern flower and prefers slightly acidic soil. The reason why many flower lovers’ gardenias do not bloom and have yellow leaves is because the soil is too alkaline.

1. Generally, soil alkalinity is caused by watering flowers with tap water. Tap water is hard, so it is best to use rainwater to water flowers. If conditions do not permit, you can use cold boiled water to water flowers.

2. Generally, salt and alkali tend to accumulate on the surface of potting soil. If you regularly clean the old soil on the surface and replace it with new soil, you can reduce the alkalinity of the soil.

3. You can use rice water to water the flowers. Add one or two drops of rice vinegar to the water to supplement nutrients for the flowers and plants and improve the pH value of the soil.

Jasmine

prune

1. Pruning

Before the new buds of jasmine sprout, it is best to prune them and cut off weak branches and overly dense branches.

If you haven’t trimmed your flowers before, don’t worry, it’s still not too late to do so now! Cutting off some branches is not only for aesthetics, but also can reduce nutrient consumption and allow the jasmine to bloom.

2. Topping

Topping is also called pinching, which is to remove the tender buds at the top of the branches, destroying the apical dominance of flowers and plants, promoting the sprouting of side branches, and creating the effect of flowers blooming everywhere.

There is no need to throw away the branches after topping. You can find another flowerpot to put them in and they will become a new pot of flowers!

The picture below shows the flower buds of jasmine. Do not prune after the flower buds sprout to avoid accidentally cutting off the flower branches.

Maintenance

1. Watering

In spring, the soil in the jasmine pot should be slightly dry, just keep it slightly moist, and water it once every half a month. Because the new buds have just sprouted in spring, they don't need too much water. Once the flower buds grow, they need to be watered about once a week.

2. Lighting

Jasmine needs sufficient light to grow and bloom. It is best to place it on a south-facing balcony or windowsill. Flower lovers who have the conditions should grow it outdoors.

Azalea

Fertilization

Many flower lovers have bought rhododendrons that are already in bloom during the Chinese New Year, but those are all forced to bloom in greenhouses. The natural flowering period of rhododendrons is in spring. Without greenhouse conditions, it is difficult to artificially control the flowering period. Therefore, all flower lovers can do is to encourage the natural flowering period of rhododendrons.

1. Overnutrition

Flowers and plants mainly need nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium fertilizers to grow. Different fertilizers have different functions. Nitrogen fertilizer mainly promotes plant growth. Too much nitrogen fertilizer will cause the azalea to have new branches and leaves but not bloom. This is called overnutrition, which inhibits the flowering of azalea.

2. Increase the application of phosphorus and potassium fertilizers

Before the azalea blooms, nitrogen fertilizer should be controlled and phosphorus and potassium fertilizers should be increased. You can choose to buy potassium dihydrogen phosphate, dilute it with water in a ratio of 1:1000 and spray it on the leaves, or you can use the water used to wash the fish to water the flowers.

Maintenance

1. Soil

Rhododendrons prefer slightly acidic soil. It is best to use rainwater for watering and alum fertilizer for fertilization to avoid the soil becoming alkaline. If you feel that the azalea soil has become saline, you can dilute rice vinegar with water in a ratio of 1:100 and then water the flowers.

2. Watering

Rhododendrons like water. When the temperature rises, you should increase the amount of watering. Water when the soil feels dry, and sprinkle water on the leaves more often.

Milan

prune

Generally, Milan flowers should be pruned before being taken indoors in spring, cutting off dead and weak branches, enhancing ventilation, concentrating nutrients on the remaining branches, and promoting flowering.

1. Prune off the taller branches to destroy the apical dominance and promote the growth of the crown.

2. Remove the terminal buds

Before the bud formation period, pinch the tips of Milan to promote the germination of flower buds.
