What should I do if the goldfish and spider plants don't bloom?
Goldfish spider is very popular for its unique flower type, but many flower lovers find that the plant only grows leaves and does not bloom for a long time. To solve this problem, we need to start from multiple dimensions from light management, nutrition supply to environmental control. This paper systematically analyzes the key techniques for flower promotion through 6 major maintenance points. 1. Light control plan The scattered light environment needs to be built for 4-6 hours of scattered light every day. The plants can be placed on the east/north window sill, and a gauze curtain with a shading rate of 30% can be used to filter direct light. When there is insufficient light, the spacing between the leaves will increase. It is recommended to rotate the flowerpot 180° every month to ensure uniform light reception. Seasonal light adjustment allows for full sunshine in autumn and winter, and requires protection with sunshade nets between 10:00 and 15:00 in summer. It is recommended to use LED plant lights to fill light in winter, and fill light for 2 hours every day from 40cm away from the leaves. 2. Nutritional management strategy Optimization of substrate ratio It is recommended to use the ratio of peat soil: perlite: leaf soil =4:3:3, and add 5 g of bone meal per liter of substrate. New soil needs to be replaced every spring, and the old soil needs to be disinfected at high temperatures and reused. Scientific fertilization cycle Apply nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium balanced fertilizers (20-20-20) every 10 days during the growth period, and use high-phosphate fertilizers (10-30-20) during the budding period. Pay attention to stop fertilization in winter, and the fertilizer concentration needs to be diluted by 50% during high temperatures in summer. 3. The key points of water management in the humidity control system adopt the principle of "see dry, see wet". Pour water thoroughly after 2 cm of the basin soil surface is dry. It is recommended to use the dipping basin method to replenish water, soak for 15 minutes each time and then drain. In winter, watering requires standing for 24 hours in advance to balance the water temperature. The increase in air humidity maintains 60-70% air humidity, which can be achieved by wetting ceramsite on trays and spraying in the morning and evening. Be careful to avoid spraying water directly on the flowers during flowering. 4. Auxiliary flower promotion measures The temperature difference between day and night needs to be maintained at 8-10℃, and the night temperature is best controlled at 16-18℃. Trim excessively dense branches in time and retain 5-7 main branches. Regularly check for pests and diseases such as red spiders, and treat them with azedra oil immediately after discovery.
Through 3-6 months of systematic maintenance, goldfish spider plants can usually restore their ability to bloom. It is recommended to make a maintenance calendar to record data such as light duration and fertilization date, and use it with a temperature and hygrometer to monitor environmental parameters in real time. When the plant buds appear, the frequency of movement can be appropriately reduced to ensure the normal development of the bud.
