When do cassia flowers bloom?
Introduction: This article provides simple maintenance tips for cassia flowers, focusing on when they bloom and a brief introduction. Let's explore together.
There is less than a month left before the cassia flowers begin to bloom. I remember from my high school days, every September and October, as soon as I stepped out of the classroom after class, I could smell the strong fragrance of flowers in the air, as if the whole world was filled with the scent of cassia. Even though I couldn't see the cassia flowers, their fragrance floated in the air like a "living perfume."
The cassia flowers growing by the roadside do not bloom for a long time, usually lasting about 20 days before they start to wither. However, if you cultivate cassia flowers yourself and take good care of them, it is possible for them to bloom for up to two months. The blooming season of cassia flowers is approaching. How should we take care of them in the period before the blooming season?
I. Methods to Make Cassia Flowers Bloom More
1. Master the Unique Watering Method for Cassia Flowers
I believe that the watering method for cassia flowers is not suitable for "drying and wetting" or "thoroughly wetting after drying," but requires individual mastery. Like now, during the transition season from summer to autumn, the weather is relatively dry, so more watering is needed. Keeping the soil slightly moist is fine, and a spray bottle can be used for watering, which prevents too much water from being poured at once and allows good water control.
If the weather is overcast or rainy, less watering is needed. Cassia flowers that have been rained on also need to be drained in time to prevent waterlogging in the potting soil, as cassia flowers are easily drowned after the soil becomes waterlogged. Less watering is also required when new shoots appear.

2. Different Fertilizing Frequencies at Different Times
Many long-term flower growers should know that cassia flowers prefer animal manure, especially pig manure. Therefore, cassia flowers are usually fertilized with decomposed pig manure liquid. The cassia flowers I've seen are usually fertilized with decomposed cake fertilizer liquid.
Only when the cassia flowers absorb fertilizers will they produce more flowers and have a stronger fragrance. It is now mid-August, and you can apply one last dose of fertilizer before the blooming season. Previously, it was fertilized once every 10 days in spring and once a week in summer.
3. Daily Pruning Management Cannot Stop
Cassia flowers have a long lifespan and a very developed root system. A mature cassia tree usually goes through two stages of growing new branches each year. It is especially important to prune before the blooming season, as this will result in more vibrant and full flowers.
