When does the Jade Plant bloom? Management of the flowering period of the Jade Plant

1. When does it bloom?

Jade plants usually bloom in late spring, around May. Its flowering period generally lasts about two months, and it will slowly wither in July. The flowers have a light fragrance during bloom and are red in color. The flower is relatively small, only the size of a thumb. However, with its emerald green leaves, it is very ornamental.

2. Flowering period management

1. Light: It likes the sun very much and needs sufficient light during the flowering period. It should be placed in a place with better lighting, and just block it during the strong light at noon, but it can be exposed to direct sunlight at other times. With sufficient sunlight, the plant will grow more vigorously and the flowers will bloom better and more colorfully. If there is a lack of light, the branches and leaves will tend to grow too tall, which will reduce the number of flowers.

2. Temperature: It is not very demanding on temperature, but try to provide a warm environment during flowering, preferably between 20-25 degrees. It is best to have a certain temperature difference between morning and evening. A large temperature difference is also beneficial to flowering. Nutrients will not flow out, which can promote an increase in the number of flowers.

3. Fertilization: The nutrients consumed during flowering are naturally more than usual, so it is necessary to apply fertilizer in advance to supplement them. Phosphorus and potassium fertilizers can be used as fertilizers. After fertilizing, water appropriately to dilute and promote absorption. In addition, phosphorus fertilizer can be used as base fertilizer in late autumn, which can promote more flowering next year.
