One, when does forsythia bloom in the season?
Forsythia blooms in spring, its blooming period is early spring, usually from February to April. As its name implies, it is one of the earliest to bloom, and spring comes after its flowers bloom. The flowers are single, golden yellow in color, singly on the branches, and have a light fragrance. The bracts are leaf-like, ovate, elliptical, or lanceolate, which are of certain ornamental value.
Two, how to care for forsythia to extend the blooming period?
1. Fertilization
It is well known that plants need a lot of nutrients when blooming, so when we are potting, we can put base fertilizer under the soil or mix a small amount of organic fertilizer in the soil. Although top dressing is not allowed, in order to ensure that the flowering period can be effectively extended, we can apply 1-2 times of manually prepared ripe organic fertilizer or liquid fertilizer before the flowering period, paying attention to the concentration each time, not too high, thin concentration is enough. This can not only make the color of forsythia flowers more vibrant but also effectively extend the flowering period. Do not fertilize during the flowering period.
2. Temperature
Spring is a season of sudden warmth and cold. In order to maintain a suitable temperature, we can move the potted plant into the room or cover it with a layer of insulation film; moving it into the room, the room temperature only needs to be around 15 degrees, and it will bloom in about two weeks. This can not only ensure that forsythia blooms and produces more beautiful flowers but also effectively extend the flowering period of forsythia and prolong our viewing time, achieving two goals at once.
3. Watering
We should observe the moisture of the potting soil before and during the flowering period and water it 1-3 times according to its condition. In a period before spring rain, we often water to maintain a moist soil environment. But be careful, spring is the season of growth and flowering, and top dressing should not be done, otherwise, there may be a phenomenon of excessive growth. To promote flowering, we can spray clear water on its branches and leaves with a spray bottle, once a day, without too much watering.
4. Pruning
In order to maintain a good tree shape, forsythia needs to be pruned frequently. Forsythia has strong growth power, and frequent pruning of young branches has no adverse effects. During the growing period, we can pinch the top to prune its long, excessive branches to prevent the upper branches from weaken and unable to bear flowers. Select some branches for short pruning, and cut off all the weak branches to promote the germination of new branches.
