An introduction to the blooming period of June Snow and a brief overview of green plants and flowers for netizens who are interested in it. Corrections are welcome if there are any mistakes!
June Snow has a graceful posture, twisted roots, and sparse leaves. Every year, from June to July, it can bloom with full trees of flowers, resembling "stars twinkling", which is very beautiful. Therefore, many flower enthusiasts who love bonsai use it to create bonsai for appreciation.
Now is the vigorous growth period of June Snow bonsai. Most of them have grown lush leaves. As long as the care and management are strengthened, they will bloom after a while, covering the whole tree with silver flowers, which is a delightful sight. However, in previous years, it was often heard from flower friends that their June Snow bonsai only grew leaves but did not bloom. What aspect of care was not right?
Do not over-prune in spring
Friends who keep tree bonsai at home are accustomed to pruning and shaping their June Snow bonsai every spring. However, they do not realize that it is because they cut it randomly, which causes the plant to fail to bloom properly.
Observing June Snow when it is blooming, you will find that its flowers bloom on new branches. If you think the branches and leaves are too messy in spring and cut off all the branch tips, although the tree looks better, it will not bloom during the flowering period.
Therefore, if you want June Snow to bloom normally during the flowering period, do not over-prune in spring. Pruning should be done after the plant has finished blooming, including wiring the branches and repairing the roots.
Let it see the sun often
Flower friends who have kept June Snow know that it prefers semi-shade and is afraid of strong sunlight. Therefore, many people keep it in a sunless environment for a long time. Although June Snow is shade-tolerant, it cannot be kept away from sunlight for a long time. The plant needs sunlight for growth and flowering. If it lacks sunlight for a long time, the leaves will grow excessively, and there will be no flowers during the flowering period.
When does June Snow bloom
Therefore, if you want June Snow to bloom normally during the flowering period, you should let it see more sunlight during the winter and spring seasons. Since winter sunlight is not very strong, it can be placed directly in a sunny environment. In early spring, it can also be kept in direct sunlight. As the sunlight intensifies in summer, it can be exposed to sunlight in the morning and evening or placed in a place with scattered light to prevent excessive growth and ensure normal flowering during the flowering period.
Apply phosphorus and potassium element fertilizers
Many June Snows do not bloom because of balanced fertilization. If too much nitrogen fertilizer is added, the plant will keep growing leaves and ignore flowering.
In early spring, you can often water it with some dilute fertilizer to make the plant grow new branches quickly. By April and May, switch to phosphorus and potassium fertilizers, which is monopotassium phosphate that promotes flowering and fruiting. Dilute it with water at a ratio of 1:1000 and water it twice a month.
June Snow is particularly afraid of heavy fertilization. Many people do not master the dosage well, causing the plant's roots to be burned and leading to root rot. Therefore, when fertilizing, no matter what type of fertilizer is used, it should be diluted before pouring it into the flowerpot.
Supply sufficient water
June Snow likes a humid environment. If it is too dry and lacks water during maintenance, it will also affect normal growth and flowering, especially for some exposed-root style June Snow bonsai, where the evaporation of water is greater. Attention should be paid to watering at all times, and water should be sprayed on the branches and exposed roots with a spray bottle to keep them moist.
Of course, excessive watering of any plant or flower can also cause root rot and leaf drop. For June Snow, just water when the soil is dry and slightly moist. Do not water frequently to prevent excessive watering and root rot or leaf drop.
It is already May now, and it will soon be the flowering period of June Snow. If you want it to bloom with full branches, you should promptly strengthen the following aspects of maintenance: supply the plant with phosphorus and potassium fertilizers, ensure sufficient water, and let it see more sunlight. Then it will bloom beautiful little flowers during the flowering period.
