What if the summer cuckoo has buds but does not blossom?

Summer cuckoo bonsai blossoms longer than ordinary cuckoo bonsai, so it takes longer to enjoy the flowers. However, sometimes we will find that although there are a lot of buds after the bonsai has entered the flowering stage, it never blossoms. What is the matter? For the summer cuckoo bonsai only buds do not blossom, generally due to the maintenance and management work is not in place or improper management. So what if the summer cuckoo has buds but does not blossom?

As a matter of fact, it happens from time to time that the bonsai of summer cuckoo only shows buds but does not blossom at flowering stage. Mainly due to the maintenance and management of summer cuckoo bonsai is not detailed enough, so although there can be a lot of buds, but did not see its blooming as scheduled. Not only that, when the flowers are in full bloom in spring, we sometimes see the summer cuckoo picking new buds. In fact, this phenomenon is often called "withered bud".

To investigate the reason, the main reason for the withered buds of summer cuckoos is that people are afraid of frostbite in winter, and move them directly to indoor maintenance, while for the southern region in winter, the indoor temperature is often relatively high. in addition, the summer cuckoo itself has a certain cold resistance, so when the indoor temperature is too high, its branches and leaves will accelerate their growth, thus competing for a lot of nutrition for pregnant buds. When the flowering season is approaching, the buds will wither due to lack of nutrients, so naturally we can only see the phenomenon that summer cuckoos only show buds but do not blossom.

For many places in southern China, the temperature in winter is often not too low, and the summer cuckoo itself is also hardy, so it can be placed outdoors to let it sleep naturally, and it can usually survive the winter safely and smoothly. This is mainly to avoid the excessive growth of summer cuckoo branches and leaves, and to avoid consuming too many nutrients and affecting the later flowering. Of course, if it is in the extremely cold areas of northern China in winter, it is often necessary to move the summer cuckoo bonsai to indoor maintenance before the arrival of winter and the sudden drop in temperature to avoid frostbite.

However, even in southern China, in order to ensure that the summer cuckoo wakes up from winter dormancy, it can quickly restore the tree potential and save sufficient nutrients for the next flowering, it is generally necessary to carry out a topdressing before flowering. In order to promote flowering, fertilizers are mainly phosphate fertilizers such as calcium superphosphate, but thin fertilizers are needed to be applied frequently, so it is necessary to control the concentration. In the case of adequate nutrients, summer cuckoo bonsai will not appear only bud but not blossom phenomenon.

It can be seen that the phenomenon that only pregnant buds do not blossom in summer cuckoo bonsai flowering period is mainly due to the poor maintenance and management work in the early stage. The most important thing is the lack of nutrients, on the one hand, due to the high temperature in the winter conservation environment, the summer cuckoo does not dormancy naturally, but continues to grow, thus consuming a lot of nutrients; on the other hand, there is no necessary pruning treatment and timely replenishment of summer cuckoo bonsai before flowering, so it leads to the phenomenon that the plant only shows buds but does not bloom in the case of lack of nutrients.

In view of this, in addition to doing a good job in all aspects of maintenance and management at ordinary times, especially before flowering, we need to carry out the necessary pruning and topdressing treatment, at the same time, even if there is only a bud but not a flowering phenomenon, we do not need to be nervous, but need to take timely light and temperature, water and fertilizer, pruning and other corresponding measures to ensure that the next year can bloom smoothly as scheduled.
