As an important member of the Chinese New Year flowers, longevity flowers play a vital role during the Spring Festival.
Now, it has entered December, less than two months before the Spring Festival of the Year of the Dragon, but the longevity flowers in many flower friends' homes have not yet shown any signs of flowering, and some even have small buds that are still long, which is really anxious.
Actually, about"Longevity flowers do not bloom".The problem should be found at the root cause and the right medicine should be prescribed to solve the problem.
Today, I will share with you a few small ways to quickly promote flowers, and flower friends who have not yet grown buds in longevity flowers at home, you may wish to try it, I believe that it will not be long before a bunch of buds will emerge!
1. Pruning, pinching branches, and topping
Many flower friends may feel that they always don't understand why they need to prune and pinch off the leaves that have grown so hard.
Actually, that's going to be said, forThe purpose of pruning and pruning longevity flowersAlready:
The first point,Pruning is to remove some old leaves, bad leaves, in keepThe longevity flower plant shape is beautifulAt the same time,ReducetheirsNutrient consumptionto "make way" for the pruning of normal foliage.
In addition, ifToo denseThe branches should also be pinched off a part to ensure that the inside of the plant is oneAir circulation
The second point,Pruning is to promote longevity of flowersNew shoots germinate, with many long side buds
Here, it is necessary to talk about a very important point, that is——
Kalancho flowers have a flowering trait, new shoots bloom easily, while old shoots rarely bloom. Of course, it would be more accurate to say thatMature new tops will bloom.
Therefore, if you want to make longevity flowers bloom more and bloom well, you must continue to do itPruning, pinching, topping,Only by growing more new shoots can the flowers bloom more and more vigorously.
In addition, in the process of pruning, you can also continue to prune to shape the longevity flower as a whole, so that it can grow into the shape you like.
One more point,If the longevity flower has appearedMany small flower buds, but they do not grow and do not bloom, most likely due to the nutrients being too dispersed.
At this time, we also need to pinch off some old leaves and branches at the bottom in time, so that its nutrients are concentrated in the flower buds, and it will bloom naturally!
2. Light promotes flowering
Light is an indispensable condition for the growth and flowering of any plant, and longevity flowers are no exception. Too much or too little light may cause longevity flowers to not bloom.
Too little light
Longevity flowers belong to short-day flowers, if the maintenance process, too little light, not only easy to cause longevity flower branches, leaves dull, etc., but also affect its flowering, less buds, and even not long buds. Therefore, if you want to make the longevity flower bloom more, you must ensure that it has enough light.
Too much lightAlthough longevity flowers like light, the more light the better.
Longevity flowers inFlowering promotion period, just need to meet every dayAbout 6-8 hoursof the light, ifExcessive exposure to light, which is likely to resultThe leaves of the kalancho flower are thinned and yellowedetc., which in turn affect flowering.
This is mainly, the longevity flower that completes photosynthesis in the sunlight during the day, onlyThe accumulation of nutrients was carried out in the darkAfter that,in order to produce flower buds better。IfToo much light and not enough dark timeIt's easy to causeKalancho flowers do not have enough time to differentiate flower buds, which in turn affects flowering.
If the sun is too good at home, you can consider using it"Man-made little black house".way, use"Set of cardboard boxes and black plastic bags to move to the small black room".and other ways to give longevity flowers to promote flowering.
Here's how:Every day after 5 p.m., cover the longevity flowers with a cardboard box or a black plastic bag
Turn it on again around 8 a.m. the next morning to allow it to receive light again.
It takes about 20 days to see results.
3. Fertilization and flowering
Fertilizer, which is an indispensable nutrient for the growth of any flower, onlyThere are enough nutrientsFlowers have the strength to grow faster, and then blossom and bear fruit.
If foundIf the buds of longevity flowers are too small or too few, it is likely that the fertilizer is insufficient, resulting in longevity flowers in the differentiation of flower buds without nutrient support, resulting in fewer flowers, small flowers, or even no flowers. When promoting flowering, it is generally used moreHigh phosphorus and potassium fertilizers,In order to achieve the purpose of promoting flower buds and more flowering.
Here's how:
Longevity flowers in the flowering promotion period, it is best to apply a thin fertilizer once a week toPotassium monobasic phosphateMainly, it can also be other phosphorus and potassium fertilizers. YesFoliar sprays, you can alsoMix water to water the flowers, orBury in potting soilMiddle.
Among them,Foliar sprays are the fastest effective.
4. Water control and flower promotion
Kalancho belongs to a type of succulent and is very drought tolerant if you want itFlowering, be sure not to ignore itmoisturerole.
I've talked about this in many articlesFor a plant, flowering and fruiting are actually an action it does for the reproduction of its own race. If it finds the surrounding growth environmentVery fertile and very comfortableThen, in high probability, its focus is on its own growth, that isOnly leaves grow and do not bloom
Only if it finds its surroundingsIt is relatively "barren" and has a "sense of crisis"., will focus on growthBlossoming and fruitingThis race multiplication thing comes up.
Therefore, if you want to bloom longevity flowers, you should also pay more attention to daily maintenanceControl water
Of course, when controlling water, it does not mean that there is no watering for a long time, according to the environment of the home, you can change from watering once every 7 days to watering once every 10 days, so that the longevity flowers are in oneAppropriate water shortageenvironment.
If you find that the potting soil of the longevity flower is too dry, you should also replenish water in time to avoid itThe buds do not open, orEliminate budssituation.
Write at the end:
If you find that the longevity flowers at home have no signs of flowering, you can use these points to compare them one by one to find the reason for not blooming, and flowering is a natural thing!
