Reasons and solutions for Strelitzia not blooming

Generally speaking, the reasons why Strelitzia reginae does not bloom can be found in the daily cultivation of Strelitzia reginae.

The most common reasons why Strelitzia does not bloom are as follows:

Reasons for fertilizer

If the plant grows vigorously but does not bloom, you can reduce the amount of nitrogen fertilizer and increase the amount of phosphorus and potassium fertilizers, such as some fully decomposed chicken and duck manure.

Reasons for flowerpots

Another possibility is a small plant in a large pot. When planting Strelitzia reginae, you must not use a pot that is too large. If the pot is too large, the Strelitzia reginae will use a lot of nutrients on the growth of the root system, forming a huge root system in the pot. This will not only affect the normal growth of the Strelitzia reginae, but also affect the flower bud division and normal flowering of the Strelitzia reginae. Therefore, it is best to choose the right flower pot at the beginning.

Note that the flowerpot should not be too small, otherwise, insufficient nutrients in the soil will cause the Strelitzia to not bloom.

Planted too deep

If the Strelitzia is buried too deep, it will also affect its flowering. The soil in the pot cannot cover the roots! If you find that your Strelitzia is planted too deep, it doesn’t matter. Just remember to cover the soil to the roots when you repot it next time.
