When does ageratum bloom?

one. Flowering period:

This plant can be said to bloom from January of the new year to December of the year, so its flowering period should be calculated throughout the year.

two. Flowering period care:

1. Time and frequency of water application

Because this plant can bloom all year round, it is important to manage the amount of water applied. When we see that the surface of the soil in the potted plant is turning white and showing signs of drying out, we can water it. It is worth noting that the amount of watering must be sufficient, and you cannot just water it halfway and be done with it. When the temperature enters the higher season, since this plant grows very vigorously at this time, it needs to be watered twice a day to replenish moisture.

2. Amount of fertilizer applied

Due to its frequent flowering, this plant has a very high demand for nutrients. We need to supplement it with fertilizer in time so that it can absorb sufficient nutrients. During its peak growth season, which is the season with relatively high temperatures, you can water it with diluted fertilizer water every 10 to 15 days, and you can appropriately add some phosphorus and potassium fertilizers. This will not only dwarf the plant, but also add to the bright colors of the flowers, thereby increasing the ornamental value of the flowers.

3. Pruning of plants

Because this plant blooms all year round, and if we want to appreciate the plant and hope to see a beautiful scene of compact and flowery plants, we have to pinch it many times. Generally, pinching and topping should be done 3 to 4 times. After the first batch of flowers bloom, the plants should be pruned in time. Generally, we can keep old branches that are 5 to 6 cm high, and all the upper parts should be cut off. At the same time, we should also thin out and cut off the branches that are too dense.
