What to do if the cassia tree does not bloom for five or six years
Today's sharing: How to deal with the cassia tree not blooming for five or six years and understanding the maintenance methods of cassia trees, knowledge about flowers, the following is a detailed introduction.
Hello everyone, I am Plant Bug, who loves greening and gardening. In August, the cassia flowers are fragrant. I walk in the park area I maintain, and the fragrance of cassia flowers in the garden is really intoxicating. However, many flower enthusiasts' cassia trees have not bloomed yet. Today, a netizen asked, my cassia tree has not bloomed for several years, I'm so worried, can you help me take a look? Are the new buds of my cassia flowers bloom buds or leaf buds?
Key point: I think that cassia blooming is not something to be enforced, but rather a natural process. For seed-sown cassia seedlings, they will not bloom without six or seven years, so you need to figure out the condition of your cassia seedlings. Grafted cassia seedlings can bloom quickly, so now everyone is pursuing grafted seedlings, especially large-scale flowing willow grafted seedlings.
Regarding what the netizen said, the cassia tree they have been raising for a few years has not bloomed and is very urgent. Now they see sprouts but don't know if they are bloom buds or leaf buds. In fact, there is no need to worry. We should focus on the process of growing flowers, and achieving good results is just the icing on the cake. There are many varieties of cassia, and the shapes of bloom buds are also somewhat different, but generally speaking, bloom buds are much plumper than leaf buds, which can be felt by hand. With experience, one can even judge with the naked eye.
The netizen provided pictures, let's first look at the pictures and then share the experience:
From the picture above, we can see that the color and plumpness of the netizen's new buds are not those of bloom buds. Bloom buds should be spread out and plump. Moreover, the color is not the color of bloom buds, so the netizen doesn't need to worry. It's not a bloom bud, continue to care for it, and let's look at an enlarged picture:
How to deal with the cassia tree not blooming for five or six years
From the enlarged picture above, we can see that the netizen's new cassia buds are not bloom buds. The new buds are not plump at all, very sharp, have a tender red color, and are almost located at the axils of the leaves, so this is a typical leaf bud. So, what are the characteristics of cassia bloom buds? I took a picture of a cassia bloom bud next to me, hoping to present the difference between bloom buds and leaf buds more intuitively.
The picture above shows the typical form of cassia bloom buds. We can see that the bloom buds are spread out a lot and are located in many places, not only in the axils of leaves but also on the branches. Pay attention to the color, plumpness, and sharpness of the bloom buds, which are very different from leaf buds. Therefore, the new buds that the netizen's cassia has are leaf buds, not bloom buds.
What to do if the cassia tree does not bloom after several years of maintenance? Just do two things
1. Seedling condition
As we mentioned earlier, it takes six or seven years for seed-sown cassia seedlings to bloom, so the netizen's should be seed-sown seedlings. There's no need to worry. When the time comes and the nutrition is accumulated enough, the nutritional growth will turn into reproductive growth to bloom. Just keep nurturing it slowly.
2. Maintenance
In addition to the reason of seed-sown seedlings, maintenance is also very important. For example, if there is a large or small year due to the lack of timely nutrition supplementation after flowering, which leads to excessive nutritional consumption, or if the prevention and control of diseases and pests are not in place, causing weak seedlings, or if watering causes root rot or excessive fertilization leads to failed bloom bud differentiation, etc., so maintaining cassia trees requires an overall plan. Apply base fertilizer every winter, top-dress in spring to promote branching and leafy growth, do a good job of disease and pest control in high temperature and humidity, pay attention to watering, and spray phosphorus and potassium fertilizers to promote flowering. Of course, it is much simpler for ground planting.
The above introduction about what to do if the cassia tree does not bloom for five or six years and understanding the maintenance methods of cassia trees, I hope everyone will like it!
