Flower lovers are often troubled by the flowering problem of the moon season, and I, as a "senior flower friend" who has raised the moon season for 10 years, through long-term observation and practice, summed up some effective "flowering strategies", these methods are simple and easy to implement, not only improve the flowering rate of the moon season, but also make the flowers more full and gorgeous. Next, I will share these four practical flowering tips, I hope to inspire you in the maintenance of the season.
Pruning is a key part of the flowering. Generally speaking, spring is the best time to prune. I usually prune after the end of winter and wait until the temperature warms up, but it's not yet the height of summer. The purpose of pruning is twofold, one is to remove dead and diseased branches and maintain the health of the plant;The second is to stimulate the growth of new shoots and promote the formation of flower buds.
When pruning, care should be taken to preserve some of the main stem branches to maintain the overall structure of the plant. At the same time, side branches can be moderately pruned to increase light and ventilation, which contributes to the opening of flowers. Remember, pruning should not be too strong, otherwise it may backfire and affect the growth and opening of the flowers.
Sufficient nutrients are needed for the growth of the moon season, and reasonable fertilization is an important means to ensure its normal growth and flowering. I usually choose a compound fertilizer rich in organic matter, which provides all the elements that the plant needs and helps to improve the soil structure.
The fertilization time is generally divided into two stages, one is before flowering in spring, when you can choose a fertilizer with the right ratio of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium to promote the growth of plants;The other is after the flowers are in full bloom, at this time some fertilizers rich in phosphorus and potassium can be added to help the flowers bloom and stick.
It should be noted that the amount of fertilizer should not be too much, so as not to cause excessive fertilization and affect the growth and flowering of plants. Watering should be done in time after each fertilization application to promote better penetration of the fertilizer into the soil.
The demand for water is greater in the monthly season, and scientific watering is the key to ensure its normal growth and flowering. I usually water in the morning or evening and avoid watering in the middle of the day when the sun is strong to avoid the scorching sun that causes the water to evaporate too quickly.
When watering, make sure that the water penetrates evenly into the soil and try to avoid water stains that accumulate around the roots, which can cause root rot. Keeping the soil moderately moist is the basis for normal growth in the month, but care should also be taken to avoid overwatering, which can lead to water accumulation and poor soil aeration.
Yueji is a light-loving plant with high requirements for light. Therefore, choosing a suitable growing environment and ensuring sufficient sunlight is a necessary condition for normal flowering in the month.
I usually choose a sunny, well-ventilated location to plant the moon season and avoid choosing a dark, damp environment. If the plant is in a potted season, you can move it according to the weather conditions to ensure that the plants can get enough sunlight.
In addition, during the high temperature in summer, you can avoid excessive exposure to the sun by setting up some shade nets or moving the plants to a semi-shady environment, which can help maintain the vitality of the plants and prolong the flowering period.
Through these four "flowering strategies", I have managed to keep my moon season blooming for the past 10 years, and I can enjoy the gorgeous sea of flowers every year. Hopefully, these tips will help you with your monthly care and make your garden more beautiful and colorful. I wish you can also feel the fragrance and beauty of flowers in the season of flowers.
