Why don t my longevity flowers bloom?

Longevity flowers are very popular plants, but many people can't keep them blooming, why is this?

1. Because the conditions for longevity flowers to bloom are not met. Longevity flowers have high requirements for temperature and sunlight. Longevity flowers like a sunny environment, at noon in midsummer to avoid strong light exposure, the rest of the time can be placed in a sunny place, at least 4 hours a day to see more than 4 hours of direct light to grow robustly.

In order to make the longevity flower plant bloom evenly, you should pay attention to changing the direction of the pot frequently.

2. Because longevity flowers like warm, slightly humid and sunny environments. It is not cold-tolerant, the suitable temperature for growth is 15-25, and the high temperature in summer exceeds 30, the growth is stunted, and the indoor temperature needs to be 12-15 in winter. Below 5, the leaves are red and the flowering period is delayed.

In winter and spring, if the room temperature exceeds 24, it will inhibit flowering, such as the temperature is around 15, and the flowering continues. Drought tolerant, not strict soil requirements, fertile sandy loam soil is preferred. Longevity flowers are short-day plants and are sensitive to photoperiod responses.

Plants with good growth and development can be treated with short days (8-9 hours of light per day) for 3-4 weeks to appear and flower.

The main reason why longevity flowers do not bloom is that the flowering period has not yet arrived. The flowering period of the longevity flowers is from 1 to April. Longevity flowers are perennial herbaceous and succulent plants.

The suitable temperature for growth is 15 25, and the temperature exceeds 30 in summer, and the growth is stunted. In winter, the indoor temperature should be kept at 12 15 . Below 5, the leaves are red and the flowering period is delayed.

During the winter and spring flowering period, if the room temperature exceeds 24, it will inhibit flowering. If the temperature is around 15, the longevity flowers will bloom continuously.

First of all, we know that if you want to make the plant bloom, sufficient sunlight and fertilizer are indispensable, according to the understanding, many flower friends are used to not changing pots for many years, according to observation, some varieties of longevity flowers will naturally age in the rhizome after two years, and even the phenomenon of rotting, because the reproduction of longevity flowers is relatively simple, cuttings, leaf cuttings can be easily propagated, so we recommend that flower friends plant 1-2 years of robust longevity flowers.

Let's talk about the light, longevity flowers like a sunny environment, at noon in midsummer to avoid strong light exposure, the rest of the time can be placed in a sunny place, at least 4 hours a day to see more than 4 hours of direct light to grow robustly. In order to make the longevity flower plant bloom evenly, attention should be paid to changing the direction of the flower pot frequently, so that the plant receives light in a balanced manner, and the balcony of the building should rotate the flower pot 180 degrees every half month. Although it can also grow in the semi-shade, the stems are thin and the leaves are thin, the flowers are few and the color is light, and it is far less lush than the sunny place.

If it is too shady, it is not only easy to lose the leaves and no flowers, but also if the flowering plants are placed in the shade, the flower color will become dull, and then the flowers will fall off and wither.

Next, let's talk about the impact of fertilizer on longevity flowers, longevity flowers like fertilizer. Seedlings can be potted for half a month or old plants can be planted for half a month after 2 to 3 times of nitrogen-based liquid fertilizer to promote the growth of stems and leaves, and once after flowering, nitrogen-based liquid fertilizer can be applied to promote their rejuvenation. The rest of the time except for the summer stoppage, can only apply nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium compound fertilizer, do not make fertilizer on the leaves when fertilizing, otherwise the leaves are perishable, if you accidentally stain the leaves, you should wash off with water.

The flowering period of longevity flowers is long, and it is necessary to break the precept of not fertilizing during the flowering period, and apply thin nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium fertilizer or % potassium dihydrogen phosphate solution once a month, so that the later flowers will not become smaller and lighter due to lack of fertilizer.

Fertilizer is lowered from the longevity flower cream to October of the following year, which is the late differentiation and flowering period of longevity flower buds, so there is a great demand for fertilizer. Anabageny fertilizer with phosphorus and potassium should be applied once a week before flowering to promote the differentiation of flower buds. The flowering period is mainly applied with fast-acting potassium dihydrogen phosphate, and the concentration is 2%, once every 10 days.

In summary, if you want to raise longevity flowers, you must first understand its habits, although longevity flowers are easy to raise, but it is not so easy to raise them, from watering, light, fertilization, and heading, every link needs to be figured out, so as to raise a potted longevity flower with lush leaves and green leaves.

Three ways to make longevity flowers bloom more:

First, the pot should not be too large. Some flower lovers mistakenly believe that the larger the pot, the better the plant will grow and the more lush the flowering. For this reason, the small branches are planted in large pots that are very out of proportion with them, and the plantar fertilizer is applied, thinking that "one time in place" just needs to wait for flowering.

This method is often ineffective, and the reason is simple: the pot is large, the space is large, and the root system grows and spreads freely, which consumes a lot of nutrients needlessly. As a result, the leaves are sparse and narrow, with few flowers and small flowers.

Second, the plant type should not be too high. After a scorching summer, autumn is the time when longevity flowers are vigorous. Large-scale pruning should be carried out before the beginning of autumn to make the plant low and stout and promote the development of branches.

Then cooperate with fertilization to ensure that the plant grows well. Due to the large number of branches, there will be more flower heads in the future.

Third, the fertilization should not be too thick. Sufficient fertilizer and water are the basis for the flourishing of plant flowers, but on the one hand, many flower friends overestimate the endurance of longevity flowers in order to save trouble, and often apply a large amount of thick fertilizer at one time, which is counterproductive.

Longevity flowers are native to Africa. Prefers warm, slightly humid and sunny environments. It is not cold-tolerant, the suitable temperature for growth is 15-25, and the high temperature in summer exceeds 30, the growth is stunted, and the indoor temperature needs to be 12-15 in winter. Below 5, the leaves are red and the flowering period is delayed.

In winter and spring, if the room temperature exceeds 24, it will inhibit flowering, such as the temperature is about 15, and the longevity flowers will continue to bloom. After potting, it grows more vigorously in a slightly humid environment, and pale red aerial roots continue to grow between nodes. Too dry or too low temperature, growth slows down, leaves turn red, and flowering is delayed.

In midsummer, it is necessary to control watering, pay attention to ventilation, if the temperature is high and humid, the leaves are easy to rot and fall off. Fertilization is applied once every half month during the growing season, and it can also be used"Hui Branch"15 15 30 potted flower special fertilizer. In order to control the height of the plant, it is necessary to carry out 1 2 topping to promote more branching and more flowering.

Spray 1 time with 0 2 Bijiu 2 weeks after the longevity flower is planted, and spray 1 time again with a plant height of 12 cm. In this way, the height of the plant can be effectively controlled, and the effect of plant beauty, leaf green, and more flowers can be achieved. In the process of flower bud formation in autumn, phosphorus and potassium fertilizer can be increased 1 2 times.

You need to cut off all the residual flowers, and you also need to put them in a place with good sunlight to maintain, not too shady!!

It should be noted that it is not suitable for large fat and water cultivation, which is not suitable in summer. Only after autumn can you increase the amount of fertilizer and water**.

After the longevity flower blooms, it will not bloom again until around the Spring Festival, and it is not open for a long time, but it is named "longevity flower" because of its long flowering period!!

If you want to get a longevity flower with good flowering and strong plants, you also need to use its thick branches and leaves for cuttings breeding, and if the seedlings from the new cuttings grow well, it will be more ideal to bloom around the Spring Festival!!

The old plants will get older and older, and the flowering quality will get worse and worse year by year!

But now it's a bit late to take cuttings, you can consider 3 cuttings in a pot, so you can make up for it!

Raise longevity flowers, don't "spoil", "cruelty" if you don't bloom, and bloom obediently.

How can my longevity flowers not bloom for a year.

You need to prune after flowering, and you haven't pruned it at first glance.

It's been March, and my longevity flowers haven't bloomed yet.

When the time comes, the flowers will bloom patiently.

Watering once half a month? Watering depends on the size of the flower and the size of the pot, generally speaking, the outermost leaves of the flower reach the size of the pot. When watering, it is necessary to master the dryness and wetness, that is, if the surface of the potting soil is white, it must be watered, and it must be watered thoroughly.

Longevity flowers like light, can appropriately increase light, summer scattered light is the best, the growth period of appropriate fertilizer supplementation, the plant growth is good. Longevity flowers are short-day flowers, and generally flower bud differentiation needs to have short-day sunlight to form, and the flowering period is generally concentrated in spring and summer.

The main reasons for the non-flowering of longevity flowers are: insufficient light, excessive watering, improper pruning, and wrong types of fertilization.

First, lighting. Longevity flowers are typical light-loving but not tolerant of strong light short-day plants, because the midsummer sun is too hot, the plants can not be directly exposed on the balcony. Nowadays, the intensity of sunlight has become significantly weaker, and the daily sunshine time has been shortened a lot, so we need to move the potted plants to a well-lit area for cultivation, otherwise the plants will not only fail to realize the transformation of side buds to flower buds, but also the trend of growth will be intensified.

Secondly, watering. Longevity flowers can also be regarded as succulent to a certain extent, this kind of plants are generally more drought-tolerant, and overwatering is easy to cause problems such as rotten roots or excessive plant growth, so people must pay attention to it. In addition, some friends found that if the water droplets accidentally drip on the surface of the longevity flowers, they cannot be evaporated in time, and the plants will also have the risk of rotting, so for the sake of safety, it is best to pour water into the flower pot.

Of course, the principle of making silver pure is still to see dry and wet, and pour it thoroughly.

Third, pruning. Kalancho flowers have a vigorous vitality and an amazing growth rate, and even if they are subjected to heavy pruning, it will not take long for the plant to return to its normal state.

However, the weather has been getting colder and colder recently, and if the heavy pruning method is continued, the plants may be frozen to death from frostbite before they can complete the slow seedling. Therefore, people must control the strength of plant pruning, generally only need to cut off the yellow leaves and dead branches born from the branches of longevity flowers.

Finally, fertilization. Since autumn and winter coincide with the peak growth period and flowering period of longevity flowers, sufficient fertility can effectively promote the growth of plants. It is true that nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium are the three indispensable elements in the growth process of plants, but compared with phosphorus and potassium, which have obvious flower-promoting effects, the main effect of nitrogen is to promote the germination of more branches and leaves of plants.

Because of improper light, although the locust plant likes to grow in a sunny environment, its plant itself is a short-day plant and is more sensitive to light.

Too much or too little light will affect the flowering of its plants. So, it's enough to give its plants about eight hours of light a day. If it receives not enough light, its plant will not be able to bloom on time.

Cultivation techniques for longevity flowers

If your longevity flowers have the right amount of sunlight every day, and there is no problem with watering and fertilizing them, if your longevity flowers are not blooming at this time, you need to promote the flowering of its plants.

At this time, you can put the longevity flowers in a completely dark ring fiber bond, or use a black plastic bag to cover the whole pot, and then put a few small holes on it to ventilate.

If the longevity flowers in your home have no buds until now, the first thing to do is to rule out whether there is a problem with your own maintenance methods. If it is not a good reputation, it is necessary to promote the flowering of its plants.

1. The pot is too large Reason: The larger the pot, the plant roots grow freely, which consumes a lot of nutrients, resulting in sparse and narrow leaves, and less or no flowering.

Solution: Transplant the plants into pots of the right size and maintain them with appropriate light and water.

2. Lack of fertility.

Reason: Longevity flower is a fertilizer-loving plant, need more nutrients, if not fertilized, resulting in slow flower bud differentiation, it is difficult to grow a solution: frost to the following year in October for the flower bud differentiation period of longevity flower, need to supplement fertility, apply phosphorus and potassium based fishy fertilizer once a week, and apply nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium fertilizer once a month.

3. The temperature is uncomfortable.

Reason: The flower is native to Africa, prefers a warm and humid environment, and the temperature in the winter and spring flowering season is higher than 24, which will inhibit flowering, and if it is lower than 5, it will delay the flowering period.

Solution: Keep it at 15-25 when growing, the indoor temperature should be 12-15 in winter, not less than 5, if the winter has been around 15, you can ensure that the flowers bloom continuously.

4. Uncomfortable light.

Causes: Strong light exposure or insufficient light can cause plants to wilt and reduce flowering.

Solution: Longevity flowers like sunlight, placed on the balcony and other sunny places, ensure 4 hours of light per day, uniform lighting, and avoid strong light exposure.

Many people raise longevity flowers, but when we buy them, they all bring buds, many people raise them for a period of time, bloom in the early stage, and basically do not grow buds and bloom in the second year, what is the reason for this? In fact, longevity flowers are not difficult to raise, as long as we water properly and maintain them properly, it can grow normally, but if you want longevity flowers to bloom, you must have the following conditions, if you lack any of them, he will not bloom.

The first condition is to have the right light, because the longevity flower is a short-day plant, if the light is not suitable, it will inevitably not bloom, short-day plants are to have 4 8 hours of light, at least not less than 4 hours, at most not more than 8 hours, other times as much as possible to do dark treatment, so that he can quickly complete the flower bud differentiation, about a month or so.

The second point is to have sufficient phosphorus and potassium fertilizer, because any plant growth is inseparable from Heyuan fertilizer, and longevity flowers are the same. I can directly use potassium dihydrogen phosphate, give him 2 3 times a month, the concentration is about 1:1000, adhering to the principle of thin fertilizer and diligent application, so that it can quickly complete the differentiation of flower buds and grow flower buds to bloom.

The third point is that you must stop pruning, because the longevity flower has a characteristic, he wants to bloom, that is, from the top of the new branch gradually grow buds to bloom, if his branches grow, after you go to prune and top him, it will cause it to grow new shoots again, the new shoots grow out of you prune and then top, so it will cause it not to bloom, so we want to stop pruning in time when the longevity flowers bloom, let him grow the top high, and then be able to grow buds from the top.

Longevity flowers must have these conditions, light and fertilization together, and then stop pruning him, to ensure that there is no lack of water, so that the root system is developed enough, we raise longevity flowers can definitely quickly come out of the buds, once able to bloom and burst. Remember to raise longevity flowers, be sure not to use too large pots, watering, pot soil to half dry, water it thoroughly in time, as far as possible to put it in a well-ventilated place, so that longevity flowers will not have problems, the maintenance temperature must be guaranteed above 10 degrees, so that it can grow normally.
