Analysis on the reasons for the non-flowering of bowl lotus

Bowl lotus

Bowl lotus, also known as hibiscus and white lotus, likes a warm and humid growth environment and is afraid of dryness. at present, it is mainly distributed in Jiangsu Province in China. It is a more famous flowering plant in Suzhou. Many flower friends will plant it at home. But after several months of hard work, there are no bowl lotus blossoms. However, there are several main reasons why bowl lotus does not blossom when it comes to time.

Analysis on the reasons for the non-flowering of bowl lotus

1. Lack of light

Wanlian Xi Yang, the planting environment ventilation or lack of light, especially in the flower bud differentiation period, continuous rainy weather for more than a week, leaf photosynthesis can not provide enough nutrition for plant reproduction and development.

two。 Container light transmission

During the differentiation of bowl lotus bud, the root of bowl lotus needs a dark environment, so it is best not to use glass or transparent container to raise bowl lotus.

3. The density of basin soil affects the growth of walking stem.

If the plant of the variety of bowl lotus is larger, but the pot is smaller, or the planting density is too high, it is difficult for the plant and rhizome to expand the space, the growth will strangle each other, the pot soil is wrapped by fibrous roots, and the stem can not grow, and it is even more difficult to grow flower buds.

4. The temperature is not enough.

Bowl lotus blossoms in summer, you can know that its requirements for light and temperature are relatively high. If the temperature is lower than 28 degrees at noon during the day and below 18 degrees at night, the flower buds cannot differentiate normally.

5. Improper fertilization

Bowl lotus fertilizer is too little, but not too much, but not too much, excessive nutrition will make lotus plants grow vigorously, but reproductive differentiation weakens and leaves do not blossom.

6. The basin mud is not deep.

The lotus must be raised with soil, which can not only provide a dark environment for the lotus during the flowering period, but also provide root stability for its plant growth. if the soil is too shallow and the plant is not stable, the growth and development can not be normal and will affect flowering.

7. There are different varieties.

Edible lotus root and wild lotus root originally have little or no flowering, and the rhizome has a strong ability to spread, which requires a large space for expansion. Of course, potted plants do not show buds or bloom. Most of the seed lotus roots purchased from the vegetable market and roadside or from unknown sources belong to edible lotus roots. Edible lotus root body hypertrophy, straight strip, taste sweet and crisp, plant leaves tall, leaf color leaf shape is neat and consistent. The lotus root of potted lotus is in the shape of meniscus, the lotus root body is small, the taste is astringent, the plant leaf is small, the growth is weak, and the leaf color and leaf shape of different varieties are different. The flowering period of potted lotus varieties is different. Individual varieties do not begin to bud until the first and middle of August, which belong to late flowering varieties.

If you want to raise flowers, Xiaobian or that sentence, first understand the growth habits of flowers and plants, do not understand, then even root weeds will fail. In addition, flower cultivation must be careful, patient, perseverance, as long as you do this, even if not successful, it is worth it, at least in the flower cultivation road to learn knowledge, this is also a kind of happiness.

Analysis on the reason why bowl lotus does not blossom

Why the bowl lotus does not blossom, which makes many friends who breed bowl lotus very distressed. For this reason, Xiaoqi specially collected some reasons why the bowl lotus is not developed, and then let's take a look at why the bowl lotus is not blooming.

Why doesn't the bowl lotus blossom?

1, varieties are different: edible lotus root and wild lotus originally bloom less, or even do not blossom, the rhizome has a strong ability to spread, requires a large expansion space, potted plants certainly do not show buds, do not bloom. Most of the seed lotus roots purchased from the vegetable market and roadside or from unknown sources belong to edible lotus roots. Edible lotus root body hypertrophy, straight strip, taste sweet and crisp, plant leaves tall, leaf color leaf shape is neat and consistent. The lotus root of potted lotus is in the shape of meniscus, the lotus root body is small, the taste is astringent, the plant leaf is small, the growth is weak, and the leaf color and leaf shape of different varieties are different. The flowering period is different with different varieties of potted lotus. Individual varieties do not begin to bud until the first and middle of August, which belong to late flowering varieties.

2. Lack of light: Lotus is a sunny plant, with poor ventilation and lack of light, or when it enters the flower bud differentiation period with continuous rain for more than a week, the leaves can not provide nutrients for reproductive development for the plant through photosynthesis. The pot is too small, large and medium-sized varieties are planted in smaller containers or flowerpots with large mouth and pointed bottom, and there is little room for rhizome expansion. Entering the bud stage, the rhizome is crowded and there is no space for bud growth. In the stage of flower bud differentiation, the temperature was lower than 28 ℃ at noon in daytime and below 18 ℃ at night, the flower bud could not differentiate normally.

3. Improper fertilization: excessive fertilizer in basin soil, too early fertilization and too much nitrogen fertilizer will cause plant growth, vegetative growth, reproductive growth weakening, only long leaves but no buds. There are two cases of excessive density.

The main results are as follows: (1) the basin distance is small: there are many pots per unit area, the leaves shade each other, and the ventilation is not good, which is not conducive to the production of buds.

(2) the petiole is dense in the pot. except for the terminal bud, the other lotus roots and lateral buds also develop well, which is equivalent to two or three branches of lotus root, resulting in high density in the basin, which is disadvantageous to flower bud differentiation. The solution is to divide the pot as soon as possible by using the second planting. Improper depth of basin mud small varieties planted in a bucket-shaped deep basin, the basin soil is too deep, leaf buds and flower buds can not be unearthed. The depth of mud layer is less than 16 cm or the basin mud is too loose. in windy areas, the leaves of large and medium-sized varieties move, the root system can not stabilize the plant, and the flower buds attached to the base of petiole are not tranquil and can not develop normally.

4. the container is transparent: Lotus flower bud differentiation needs a dark environment, glass container or white plastic pot is disadvantageous to flower bud differentiation. Potted lotus sometimes appears small buds stop expanding after coming out of the water, and then shrink and wither, commonly known as dumb buds.

Second, the reason why the lotus bud of the bowl can not open normally

A, overcast and rainy low temperature: the bud development of lotus needs a temperature of not less than 18 ℃. It was cloudy and rainy and low temperature for several days, the light and temperature could not meet the limit of bud development, and the bud stopped expanding and shrank one after another.

B, thick fertilizer injures buds: improper fertilization is one of the common causes of bud dryness. Topdressing ammonium bicarbonate, urea and other quick-acting fertilizers with high nitrogen content can easily damage the buds that have been formed but have not yet come out of the water. After the bud comes out of the water, it dries up slowly, which usually occurs 4 to 8 days after fertilization. Under the scorching sun exposure of some varieties above 38 ℃ at noon, the outer layer of the flower buds was burned, forming a dry coat, fastening the buds tightly, so that the buds could not be expanded, and the whole buds could not be expanded and dried up a few days later.

C, air drying: individual varieties are sensitive to air humidity, the air humidity is between 70% and 80%, and the light is not too strong to open normally; the air is dry, the outer petals of buds are dry, and the buds can not expand. A small sprayer can be used to spray the buds at noon. There are some varieties of rich flower type with insufficient nutrition. in a small flowerpot, 6 to 8 buds appear successively in a week, and the nutrients needed for bud development can not be satisfied, of which 2 to 3 buds wither and are eliminated naturally. Some early flowering varieties have buds coming out of the water without standing leaves, and such buds are generally not easy to open. Mechanical damage the wind blows and the lotus leaves scratch the buds.

The above is why the bowl lotus does not blossom, excluding varieties, the rest are caused by mistakes in planting methods, so we should pay special attention to planting bowl lotus.

The reason why bowl lotus does not blossom

Flower friends often ask me why the bowl lotus they grow does not blossom. I would like to make a general analysis here, purely from personal experience, hoping to give you some help. First, the right version is planted with lotus roots, which can preserve the excellence of the varieties. The lotus roots of bowl lotus are generally very small, and their fingers are thick and thin. Today, I would like to introduce to you the reason why bowl lotus does not bloom.

The reason why bowl lotus does not blossom:

First, lack of light, bowl lotus is a strong positive plant, bowl lotus should be placed in the open space or balcony under full light, the light is not less than 6 hours a day, do not plant without light conditions.

Second, improper fertilization, Wanlian early application of nitrogen fertilizer, branches and leaves can be strong, in the later stage, phosphorus and potassium fertilizer can promote flower bud differentiation, some flower friends apply more nitrogen fertilizer, lotus leaves are very beautiful, not a single flower can be seen.

Third, the basin soil is too dense to affect the stem growth. Some planting experience on the Internet says that two lotus roots are placed in one pot. I think the lotus bowl is small, and the space for the growth of one lotus root is small enough. The growth of the two lotus roots will strangle each other, and the pot soil is entangled by fibrous roots. The bowl lotus stem can not grow, and it is more difficult to grow flower buds.

In addition, in the case of the wrong version, the wrong version is planted with lotus seeds, and the bowl lotus propagated by lotus seeds will have a certain degree of variation. I once read a book that said that the flowering rate of bowl lotus seeds is 70%, and I have actually tested it at about this number. Generally speaking, the bowl lotus sown in May and June does not blossom that year. If you want to keep it in the second year, you must plant it in a larger pot. I discarded it in the second year when it did not blossom.

The reason why the bowl lotus does not blossom is introduced here. What is mentioned above is the real bowl lotus seed, and the fake bowl lotus seed, the so-called fake seed, is actually the lotus seed of the lotus in the lake pond, which is not much different from the lotus seed of the bowl lotus, and the planting process is the same. it's just that this kind of lotus seed doesn't blossom in a bowl lotus pot, so you can only enjoy the lotus leaves.
