When does longevity take to blossom? What if it doesn't blossom?

Longevity flowers are the main flowers in winter, but longevity flowers are not resistant to drought or heat, and their flowering period is very long. Under natural conditions, they will bloom from December to April and May next year. What if it doesn't blossom?

1. When does longevity take to play bud?

In early winter, around November, some have already grown buds, while others have no movement and longevity flowers under the same conservation conditions, the appearance of buds sooner or later is related to the following factors:

1. Variety

I have raised a lot of colors this year, but so far, most of the buds are bright red double, a small amount of rose red single and double.

2. Old branches and sturdy branches come out of bud early

This year, because of the transfer of interest, I didn't take care of the longevity of the pots that bloomed last year. I didn't expect that these pots had grown buds early. On the contrary, he took good care of it and didn't move at all. In addition, the large and branched branches of the cuttings at the same time have appeared buds, while the small and weak ones have not yet.

3. Lighting

There is a pot of longevity on the living room floor forgot to move out, a few days later, although the seedling is not big, there are two small buds.

4. Soil

A lot of information says that soft and ventilated soil is very important, but I really didn't find it. Last year and this year, the longevity of the soil I planted in the wheat field grew well, but those who were raised in the fine soil were still struggling to grow up.

Second, what if the longevity flower does not bloom?

Longevity flowers are easy to be accepted by families because of their long flowering period. But improper maintenance, there will be no growth, do not blossom. There are three main situations in which longevity flowers do not bloom.

1. Partial application of nitrogen fertilizer

The three main elements needed by plants are nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium, which are very important and indispensable to the growth of plants. Nitrogen mainly promotes the growth of leaves, potassium fertilizer can make the stem stout, and phosphorus fertilizer can promote flower bud differentiation. If partial application of nitrogen fertilizer, the lack of phosphorus and potassium fertilizer will result in vigorous vegetative growth of longevity flowers, long stems and leaves, flower buds can not differentiate, naturally can not blossom. Therefore, we should pay attention to the balance of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium in fertilization. in October or November, we should increase the application of phosphorus and potassium fertilizer to promote flower bud differentiation, and at the same time apply Yehongshi flower fertilizer to efficiently dissolve phosphorus and potassium, promote flowering and prolong flowering.

two。 Lack of light

The longevity flower is a short-day plant, which needs 8-10 hours of care every day to bloom. If it is in a shady environment for a long time, without the stimulation of light, the flower bud can not differentiate, it cannot blossom, and the stem and leaf of the longevity flower is too long, and the stem node becomes longer. So it should be placed on a southward balcony or windowsill with plenty of light in winter.

3. Lack of pruning

Longevity flowers only grow tall and do not blossom, because the vegetative growth is too exuberant to transform into reproductive growth, so we can not blossom. We need to control vegetative growth. Therefore, in the process of longevity flower growth, proper coring and topping are needed to restrain apical dominance, promote lateral bud growth and let it grow into flower branches. But now it is not recommended to prune, because now there may be flower buds, pruning may mistakenly cut off the flower buds, it is recommended to increase light, phosphorus and potassium fertilizer, if it can blossom, and then prune after flowering.
