Why don't longevity flowers bloom
As a deeply loved New Year flower, longevity flowers are popular for their gorgeous colors and auspicious meaning. However, many flower lovers have found that carefully maintained longevity flowers are slow to bloom, which often hides five key maintenance misunderstandings. This article will deeply analyze common problems and provide professional solutions. 1. Root growth space control inappropriate flowerpot size will stimulate excessive root expansion, resulting in excessive consumption of nutrients in root growth. It is recommended to use a breathable pottery basin with a diameter 3-5cm smaller than the crown width, and keep 1/3 of the soil when changing the basin every two years. 2. Optimize the nutrient supply strategy and optimize the precise fertilization plan. Nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium balanced fertilizers are applied every month during the growth period (March to September), and phosphorus and potassium fertilizers are changed every week during the flower bud differentiation period (October to December). It is recommended to use potassium dihydrogen phosphate diluted 1000 times. Foliar spraying of solution. 3. Regulation of environmental parameters and temperature gradient management. Maintaining the temperature difference between day and night at 8-10℃ can effectively promote flower bud differentiation. Control the temperature at night in winter at 12-15℃ to avoid direct heating and causing the temperature to exceed 20℃. Scientific control of lighting implements the "Golden 4 Hours" rule: receive direct light from 9 to 11 a.m., and scatter light for maintenance during the rest of the time. Use a sunshade net to filter out summer strong light and extend winter fill light to 6 hours. 4. Variety selection and pruning Select double-petal varieties such as "Golden Fox" and "Luosang Goddess" and other diligent flower varieties. Cut off residual flowers in time after flowering and retain 2 pairs of leaves, and cooperate with picking to promote lateral branch differentiation.
Through systematic maintenance management and regular observation of plant status, most longevity flowers can reproduce buds within 3-6 weeks. It is recommended to establish a maintenance log to record temperature, fertilization and other data, and gradually grasp the flowering rules.
