Summary of reasons why flowers do not bloom

Improper water and fertilizer

If too much water and fertilizer are used during the growth period of plants, it will cause excessive growth of branches and leaves, and nutrients will accumulate in the roots, stems and leaves, resulting in insufficient nutrition for the flowers and fruits of the plants, affecting the development of flower buds, and causing the flowers to not bloom or bloom sparsely. Also, if a large amount of fertilizer is applied during the plant's bud formation period, or the amount of watering is unstable, it can easily cause the flower buds to fall off. On the contrary, if too little fertilizer and water are applied during the growth period of flowers, the plants will lack nutrients for growth, resulting in fewer flowers and poorer quality of flowers.

Light temperature

Different flowers have different preferences and requirements for light and temperature. For example, some flowers like light, while others like partial shade; some flowers like warmth, while others prefer coolness. If the light and temperature are inappropriate during the plant's growth period, it may easily cause the plant to not bloom or the flower buds to fall off.

Soil properties

Most flowers prefer slightly acidic or neutral soil and do not like saline or alkali soil. Therefore, excessive salt and alkali content in the soil will also affect the growth and flowering of flowers.

Winter room temperature

Since some flowers need to hibernate, if the indoor temperature is too high in winter, it will cause the plants to sprout and leaf out prematurely, resulting in nutrient consumption, which will lead to insufficient nutrients for the plants in the next year, weakening the flowers, making them smaller, falling off, or even not blooming.

Too little pruning

Proper pruning and trimming should be carried out during the growth period of the plant. This can not only achieve an aesthetic effect, but also prevent the branches and leaves from consuming too much nutrients and affecting the flowering of the plant.

Pest and disease damage

Flowers are prone to diseases and pests during their growth period, which affect the growth and development of the plants and result in them not blooming. For the above situation, we should take timely defensive measures, carry out reasonable fertilization and watering, create a good growth environment, and avoid the situation where the plants do not bloom.
