Can Tillandsia bloom in winter?

Can it be opened in winter?

The flowering period of this flower is relatively long. Even if you only look at the bracts, you can see them for several months! This flower is relatively shade-tolerant and is a good material for beautifying our home environment. However, some friends have kept their small iron lilies for two years and they still haven’t bloomed, so I am very curious whether this kind of flower can bloom in winter? The answer is yes. If handled properly, this flower can bloom in winter.

Under normal circumstances, if this kind of flower has enough leaves and the plant age is appropriate, it will bloom when it encounters low temperatures. However, if we grow them indoors, there may be no way to make them bloom on time, so we must find the right method. Therefore, if you want to do this job well, you must plan it in advance, so that you can prepare yourself in advance.

Tips for blooming flowers in winter

First of all, don’t use the previous fertilizers anymore. You need to use fertilizers with more K and less N. Some friends may think that if they want the flowers to bloom well, they must add more P fertilizer. In fact, this is not the case for every plant. Especially in the three weeks before you want to plant them, you don't need to use any fertilizer, but as for watering, you can still do it at the same frequency as before.

Daily maintenance instructions

When the flower buds gradually change color, it is not due to lack of sunlight, but a sign that the flowers will soon wither. At this time, you can choose to remove the flower buds directly so that they can grow side buds. So friends who encounter this situation don’t need to worry, this is normal. After the flower buds wither, the withered flower spikes can be removed directly. The temperature should be controlled between 20-25℃. If the humidity is not a problem, it will bloom again in a few months.
