When does the spring flower bloom?
This article provides answers for netizens about when spring flowers bloom and introduces the aspects of green plants and flowers related to the blooming time of spring flowers. Let's learn about it together.
Spring flowers are a relatively common type of flower with high ornamental value, symbolizing life, hope, vitality, and the pursuit of beautiful things. So, in which season do spring flowers bloom? How can we take care of them to extend the blooming period? Let me tell you here.
First, in which season do spring flowers bloom?
Spring flowers bloom in spring, with their blooming period in early spring, roughly from February to April. As their name suggests, they bloom relatively early, and once their flowers open, spring arrives. The flowers are single, yellow, and fragrant, with small leaf-like bracts that are ovate, elliptical, or lanceolate in shape, and have certain ornamental values.
Second, how to care for spring flowers to extend the blooming period?
1. Fertilizing
It is well known that plants need a lot of nutrients when flowering, so when potting, we can place base fertilizer in the soil or mix a small amount of organic fertilizer into the soil. Although we cannot apply top dressing, in order to effectively extend the blooming period, we can apply one or two artificial mature organic fertilizers or liquid fertilizers before flowering, paying attention to the concentration each time, not using too high a concentration, just a thin solution. This can make the color of spring flowers more vibrant and effectively extend the blooming period. Do not apply fertilizer 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 can make it bloom in about two weeks. This can not only ensure that spring flowers bloom beautifully but also effectively extend the blooming period, prolonging our viewing time, achieving two goals at once.
3. Watering
From before the flowering period to the flowering period, we should observe the moisture of the potting soil and water it 1-3 times as needed. In the period before spring rain, we can water it frequently to maintain a moist soil environment. However, it should be noted that spring is the season of growth and flowering; we should not apply top dressing, 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 a strong growth force, and regular pruning of young branches has no adverse effects. During the growing period, we can pinch the tips, prune the long and excessive flowering branches to prevent the upper branches from becoming weak and unable to produce flowers. Select some branches for short pruning and cut off all the weak branches to promote the germination of new branches.
The above information about when spring flowers bloom and the experience related to the blooming time of spring flowers is hoped to provide you with some help after reading this article!
