What to do if the Prunus mume 'Hongmei' does not bloom
If the Prunus mume 'Hongmei' does not bloom, it is necessary to take timely measures. If the non-blooming is due to improper fertilization, a quick-acting inorganic fertilizer should be applied; if it is due to insufficient watering, then water should be supplemented in time; if it is due to long-term lack of pruning, then irregular pruning is needed to promote the growth and blooming of the Prunus mume 'Hongmei'.
Reasons for Prunus mume 'Hongmei' not blooming
The main manifestation of Prunus mume 'Hongmei' not blooming is the absence of flowers, and the specific reasons are as follows:
1. If excessive nitrogen fertilizer is applied to Prunus mume 'Hongmei' or no fertilizer is applied to the plant for a long time, it can lead to fewer or no flowers.
2. If insufficient water is given to the Prunus mume 'Hongmei', the potting soil will dry out, and the plant's roots will not absorb enough nutrients, which can prevent blooming.
3. If the Prunus mume 'Hongmei' is not pruned for a long time, its branches will grow excessively, with poor branching ability, naturally resulting in fewer or no flowers.
Methods to deal with Prunus mume 'Hongmei' not blooming
1. If improper fertilization causes the Prunus mume 'Hongmei' not to bloom, a quick-acting inorganic fertilizer should be applied before pruning, which is beneficial for the growth of the Prunus mume 'Hongmei'. Phosphorus fertilizer is mainly used, and the amount of nitrogen fertilizer must be controlled.
2. If insufficient watering causes the Prunus mume 'Hongmei' not to bloom, in addition to supplementing water in time, the plant should be sprayed with water regularly to maintain environmental humidity and also help cool down.
3. If long-term lack of pruning causes the Prunus mume 'Hongmei' not to bloom, irregular pruning is needed. Long branches should be shortened, and withered branches should be cut off, which can promote branching differentiation and make the plant produce more branches, thus benefiting the growth and blooming of the Prunus mume 'Hongmei'.
