Why doesn't the white palm bloom?

Flowering period of white palm

The flowering period of Anthurium with normal care is from May to August , and it can last 4 to 5 weeks from blooming to falling. Flower lovers should first confirm whether their white anthuriums are not blooming during the flowering period.

Why white palm does not bloom

Not enough growing years

The flowering of anthuriums also requires certain conditions. The anthuriums that have already bloomed and are bought from the flower market are all more than 3 years old and can basically bloom normally. But under normal circumstances, 4-6 year old white anthuriums can bloom normally; if the white anthurium is obtained by seeds, it will take 5-6 years to bloom; the seedlings after division need to grow for 2-3 years before they can bloom. If your anthurium is in its infancy, it is normal for it not to bloom and you just need to wait!

Insufficient growing space

Anthurium grows very fast. Generally, the plant will fill the pot in 1-2 years. The leaves are crowded and the ventilation is improper. The leaves inside can hardly receive sunlight and it is difficult for them to bloom.

Unsuitable maintenance environment

Anthurium is called the lazy flower, but it is not easy to make it bloom. If the anthurium is grown in a place with insufficient light or too strong sunlight for a long time, it will grow poorly and have difficulty flowering, especially in the period before flowering from April to May , when there is insufficient light and the air is dry. Even if the anthurium reaches the flowering year, it will not bloom.

Long-term lack of fertilizer

If the white calla lily is not fertilized for a long time, it will be detrimental to the healthy growth of the plant and affect its flowering. Apply some granular compound fertilizer every month during the growing period from May to September , so that it can grow leaves and bloom.

Methods to promote flowering of white palm

Induced flowering

Flowering of Anthurium needs to be induced. One month before flowering, spray gibberellic acid to induce flowering artificially.

Strengthen daily maintenance

Place the plant in a bright place for maintenance, pay attention to watering it in time and ensure the air humidity. In April and May, water the area around the plants frequently to increase relative humidity. Fertilize once a month and increase the amount of fertilizer appropriately before flowering to ensure sufficient nutrients for flowering.

Change the basin in time

The leaves of white calla lily grow rapidly, so change the pot and loosen the soil in time according to its growth condition. In early spring every year, change the pot of the anthurium to a larger one and replace the soil with loose soil. After repotting, place the plant in a cool place for 1 week and then maintain it normally. When the branches and leaves of the plant are too dense, and the ratio of plant to spray is 3:1 , it is necessary to change the pot in time. For potted plants that grow very quickly, you can repot them in autumn.
