What to do if pumpkins bloom but do not bear fruit
Pumpkins are very easy to grow, and some people's pumpkins grow particularly well, but they do not bloom or bear fruit. If pumpkins bloom but do not bear fruit, the main reasons are the high temperatures in summer, excessive nutrition, and overuse of nitrogenous fertilizer.
If pumpkins only bloom without bearing fruit, the yield will certainly be very low. This is actually due to not mastering the planting skills properly. Today, I have compiled four reasons why pumpkins only bloom but do not bear fruit for everyone's reference.
The main reason why pumpkins bloom but do not bear fruit is due to insufficient sunlight or excessive use of nitrogenous fertilizer. We should avoid making the pumpkins produce more fruits and instead should adopt four methods. First, when the main vine of the pumpkin reaches 2 meters, it should be topped to make it grow 3 to 4 lateral vines, but not too many, otherwise, it will bloom more flowers.
Second, when the lateral vines of the pumpkin reach 2 meters, they should be guided to climb on the vines, which can increase the light transmission and improve the growing conditions. Third, if the main vine of the pumpkin grows too long, it will result in more flowers and fewer fruits. The main vine should be cut 30 centimeters away from the root and then stuffed with charcoal to inhibit its growth. Also, pay attention to controlling the use of nitrogen and increasing the application of phosphorus and potassium fertilizers.
Fourth, on the vines that have bloomed and borne fruit, it is necessary to timely remove the burned leaves and old leaves, and remove the overly dense leaves. This can both ventilate and illuminate the plant and reduce nutrient consumption. The above four points are practical solutions to the problem of pumpkins blooming but not bearing fruit. By paying attention to these four points, every pumpkin plant can bear fruit.
