What to do if the flowers of the Flos Hibisci Syriacus bloom less
Let me tell you about the experience related to the planting of flowers with few blooms of Flos Hibisci Syriacus and 4 techniques to make Flos Hibisci Syriacus bloom vigorously, and then let's learn together.
Many flower enthusiasts often encounter the problem of few blooms during the cultivation of Flos Hibisci Syriacus, often blooming only one or two flowers at a time. So, how can we make Flos Hibisci Syriacus bloom more flowers at a time? Here are some tips for discussion, hoping they are helpful to flower enthusiasts.
One, fertile planting soil is the foundation for more blooms
Flos Hibisci Syriacus prefers loose, well-drained, and fertile slightly acidic soil. Only with suitable planting soil can the roots of Flos Hibisci Syriacus develop better, absorb nutrients comprehensively, grow more vigorously, and bloom more and longer. The planting soil for Flos Hibisci Syriacus can be a mixture of leaf mold soil with about 40% coarse river sand, and it is also necessary to add an appropriate amount of base fertilizer to the soil, generally mixed with about 5% of mixed organic fertilizer, such as decomposed pig manure, chicken manure, cake fertilizer, etc.
Due to the well-developed roots of Flos Hibisci Syriacus and the high demand for nutrients, the potting operation is usually needed every year. The potting and soil replacement for Flos Hibisci Syriacus is generally done in spring or autumn. During potting, remove about two-thirds of the original soil and replace it with new soil. After potting, place it in a shady and well-ventilated area for about half a month to complete the acclimatization and enter normal maintenance.
Two, a suitable growing environment is a guarantee for more blooms
Flos Hibisci Syriacus is a plant that loves light and requires plenty of direct sunlight in any growth stage. Sufficient sunlight enables the plant to photosynthesize more efficiently, convert more nutrients absorbed by the roots, and stimulate the plant to differentiate more flower buds.
In the daily maintenance of Flos Hibisci Syriacus, it should have at least 6 hours of sunlight every day, and even in summer, there is no need for shading. The stronger the sunlight, the more vigorous the plant grows and the more flowers it will produce. When maintaining Flos Hibisci Syriacus at home, it should be placed in the sunniest location to bathe in the sunlight.
Flos Hibisci Syriacus has few diseases and pests, but its main shortcoming is that it is not cold-resistant. It needs to be prepared for frost protection in winter and cannot bear low temperatures below 5°C for a long time. When the ambient temperature is below 10°C, it is necessary to prepare for indoor placement.
Three, reasonable water and fertilizer management is a condition for more blooms
Flos Hibisci Syriacus prefers a moist soil environment and has poor drought resistance. Watering should not be neglected during maintenance, and the potting soil should be kept moist but not waterlogged. Generally, when the surface of the potting soil is dry about 3 centimeters, it should be watered promptly, especially in summer when water cannot be lacking. Otherwise, the leaves will wilt, and if left for too long, yellowing and leaf drop will occur.
What to do if the flowers of the Flos Hibisci Syriacus bloom less
Flos Hibisci Syriacus loves fertilizer and requires a large amount of fertilizer during growth. In addition to adding an appropriate amount of base fertilizer to the soil during planting, it is necessary to provide sufficient nutrient support during growth. After the spring warming, at least two applications of a multi-element compound fertilizer should be applied every month, or a mixed organic fertilizer.
If you want the plant to bloom more flowers, starting from mid-spring, two to three applications of phosphorus and potassium fertilizer should be added every month. Phosphate dipotassium is convenient and effective, and can be applied two to three times a month until the end of autumn. Any fertilizer used must strictly control the concentration, which should be low rather than high.
Four, reasonable pruning is a measure for more blooms
If a flowering plant wants to bloom more, pruning is one of the very important measures. Reasonable pruning can increase the number of lateral branches and thus produce more flowers. Pruning Flos Hibisci Syriacus is relatively simple and should be done from the seedling stage.
When the seedling plant grows to about 15 centimeters, it can be pinched. After pinching, the plant will produce some lateral branches. Pruning after the end of a bloom can also promote the growth of lateral branches.
Post-bloom pruning can also save nutrients, thin branches to enhance the internal ventilation of the plant, and make the plant shape more full. Post-bloom pruning, in addition to removing spent flowers, also includes pruning of diseased branches, weak branches, and densely packed inner branches.
In summary, during the maintenance of Flos Hibisci Syriacus, sufficient light conditions are crucial. Without sufficient light, it is difficult to grow Flos Hibisci Syriacus well, and there is no talk of blooming more flowers. Without sufficient light, Flos Hibisci Syriacus may not bloom for a long time. Choosing the right planting soil, taking care of Flos Hibisci Syriacus is as simple as having plenty of water, plenty of fertilizer, and plenty of sun.
