What if Rig Begonia doesn't bloom?

Rieger crabapple not only has large and colorful flowers, but also has bright green and broad leaves. Potted plants can watch not only flowers but also leaves. However, if you want Rieger Begonia to blossom smoothly as scheduled, not only the growth environment should be suitable, but also the maintenance and management methods should be scientific. Otherwise, Rieger begonia may not blossom, so what if Rieger begonia does not blossom?

If Rieger Begonia does not blossom at its flowering stage, then we should investigate the cause in time. It is not only necessary to check whether the maintenance environment is appropriate, but also to reflect on whether the maintenance method is appropriate. In the course of practice, it is found that the failure of flowering of Rieger crabapple is mainly due to poor soil quality, lack of light, uncomfortable temperature and improper management of water and fertilizer. Therefore, we need to investigate and deal with it from these aspects.

First, increase the light.

Rieger Begonia prefers to maintain the environment with sufficient light, if the environmental light is too poor, it is not only easy to cause the plant to grow stems and leaves, but also inhibit its flowering. Therefore, it is not only necessary to provide sufficient light for potted Rieger crabapple, especially at flowering stage, but also to provide light protection. As long as we don't expose the plants to the hot sun, we should let them bask in the sun as much as possible.

Second, control temperature

The most suitable temperature for growth of Rieger Begonia is usually between 18 °C and 25 °C. if the temperature is too high or too low, it will not only affect its flowering, but also may affect the normal growth of the plant. Because Rieger Begonia is neither heat-resistant nor cold-resistant, if you want it to grow well and blossom smoothly, the temperature must be well controlled to keep it within the appropriate temperature range.

Third, increase the humidity

Rieger Begonia prefers moist growth environment and has high humidity requirements. Not only the basin soil is required to keep moist, but also the air humidity is high. If the humidity is too low, it will also affect the flowering of Rieger begonia, not only less flowering, low quality, but also may even lead to the phenomenon of difficult flowering. However, if excessive watering causes retting or rotten roots, or excessive humidity causes stuffy culture, it will also cause Rieger begonia not to blossom. Therefore, whether in the growing season or florescence, we should provide it with a suitable humidity environment.

Fourth, topdressing in time

Flowers and plants need to consume a lot of nutrients to blossom. They are original and need to be prepared before flowering. If nutrients are insufficient, the plant does not have enough capacity and energy to promote flowering, and the same is true for Rieger Begonia. And Rieger Begonia itself also likes to be fat, not only with large and colorful flowers, but also with luxuriant stems and leaves, so the demand for nutrients is naturally more. Especially in the flowering period, we should apply more phosphorus and potassium fertilizer to promote flowering.

Fifth, improve the soil quality

Rieger Begonia prefers the slightly acidic basin soil environment of fertile and loose, permeable and permeable. If the soil we prepare is too poor and alkaline, the plant will not grow well and it will be difficult to blossom naturally. It is generally recommended to use rotten pine needle soil, garden soil and river sand as a mixed matrix. Of course, we can also use rotten leaf soil and perlite to make a mixed matrix, and the results are good.

VI. Improving the environment

Because Rieger crabapple likes the maintenance environment with warm and humid, good ventilation and sufficient light, it is not heat-resistant, cold-resistant and water-resistant, once the maintenance environment contradicts or conflicts with these habits, it is easy to affect the normal growth of the plant, resulting in non-flowering. Therefore, if we want to make it bloom smoothly, we must provide it with a comfortable growth environment and meet the conditions of flowering.

7. Hormone inducing flowering

For some varieties of Rieger begonia, if the growth environment is more suitable, the management is also in place, and still does not blossom, it may be due to the reasons of their own varieties. Well, we can try to use a little hormone to promote flowering. Many flower shops have sales catalysts, so we might as well try to buy a little catalyst and spray it to promote the plant to form buds. However, if it is because of the variety, it is suggested that the excellent varieties should be re-selected for pot cultivation.
