It's summer now, have you noticed that your month flowers are blooming smaller and smaller?
In fact, it is a relatively common phenomenon for month flowers to bloom small in summer, mainly related to temperature and fertilization and water management.
If managed well, month flowers can still perform well in summer. For example, the fresh cut roses we see in flower shops are actually cut month flowers, and the flower varieties in summer are also good.
Of course, our home cultivation cannot compare with the professional production and cultivation environment, but we can also make the month flowers bloom with high ornamental value through our careful management.
To make the month flowers bloom well, it mainly starts from the following five aspects:
1. Pruning
Flower friends who always read articles know that the more month flowers are pruned, the more they bloom. After pruning, new buds will produce flower buds. Generally speaking, there is a direct proportion between the robustness of the month flower branches and the variety of flowers. The stronger the branches, the higher the quality of the flowers.
Why do the flowers of the month decrease in size?
Therefore, when pruning after the first bloom, more can be cut back. This can not only dwarf the plant but also make the new branches stronger. The flowers that bloom after the buds at the top of the branches germinate will be much better.
2. Fertilization and water management
Of course, just pruning is not enough. Month flowers need to consume a lot of fertilizer for growth and blooming. Therefore, attention should be paid to top dressing after pruning to ensure sufficient fertilization and water, so that the new buds of month flowers can grow strong.
After pruning, a long-acting fertilizer should be applied. During the germination period and when the branches start to grow, a fast-acting high-nitrogen fertilizer or a compound fertilizer of nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium can be applied to promote the growth of month flowers. About one week after the branches have grown, a fast-acting phosphorus and potassium fertilizer can be applied weekly to promote the formation of flower buds.
