I. When do spring flowers bloom?
Spring flowers bloom in spring, with their flowering period in early spring, usually from February to April. As their name suggests, they bloom early, and after their flowers bloom, spring arrives. The flowers are single, yellow in color, and fragrant. The bracts are leaf-like, ovate, elliptical, or lanceolate in shape, and have certain ornamental values.
II. How to maintain spring flowers to extend their flowering period?
1. Fertilization
As is well known, plants need a lot of nutrients when flowering, so when potting, we can put base fertilizer under the soil, or mix a small amount of organic fertilizer into the soil. Although top dressing is not allowed, to ensure that the flowering period can be effectively extended, we can apply one or two artificial-made ripe organic fertilizers or liquid fertilizers before flowering, paying attention to the concentration each time, and not using too high a concentration. A dilute concentration is enough. This can not only make the color of spring flowers more vibrant but also effectively extend the flowering period. Do not fertilize during the flowering period.
2. Temperature
Spring is a season of fluctuating temperatures. To maintain a suitable temperature, we can move the potted plant indoors or cover it with a layer of insulation film; moving it indoors to a room temperature of about 15 degrees Celsius is fine, and it will bloom in about two weeks. This can ensure that spring flowers bloom beautifully and extend the flowering period, thus extending our viewing time, achieving a win-win situation.
3. Watering
From before the flowering period to the flowering period, we need to observe the dryness and moisture of the potting soil and water 1-3 times according to its condition. In the period before spring rain, we should water frequently to maintain a moist soil environment. However, it should be noted that spring is the growing and flowering season, and top dressing should not be done, as it may cause excessive growth. To promote flowering, we can spray water on the branches and leaves with a spray bottle once a day without watering too much.
4. Pruning
In order to maintain a good tree shape, spring flowers need to be pruned regularly. Spring flowers have strong growth power, and regular pruning of new branches has no adverse effects. During the growing period, you can pinch the tips, prune the excessively long flowering branches to prevent the upper branches from becoming weak and unable to bear flowers. Cut some branches short and remove all the weak branches to promote the germination of new branches.
