What if the orchid doesn't blossom?

Recently, many flower friends have left messages to consult the reasons why magnolia does not bloom. Some flower friends have raised magnolia for 7 or 8 years without blossom. Due to the limited number of words in response to messages in the background, the editor here tells you in detail the reasons why orchids do not bloom.

1. Not yet in full bloom

From sowing to flowering, it usually takes about 4 years, so if it is a new seedling, it is normal not to blossom, and there is no need to worry about patient maintenance. Under normal circumstances, 14 leaves (7 leaves on each side) can blossom.

2. Non-flowering caused by phosphorus deficiency

Magnolia needs to consume a lot of nutrients, mainly phosphorus and nitrogen, in the process of flower bud differentiation, part of the nutrients need to be supplied to promote flower bud differentiation. At this time, if more nitrogen fertilizer is used and there is a lack of phosphate fertilizer, it will cause the plant to grow so that flower bud differentiation can not be carried out normally, thus affecting the normal flowering. Therefore, before flower bud differentiation, it is necessary to add 1 / 2 fertilizers containing more phosphorus. In order to promote the arrows to blossom.

In addition, not changing the soil for a long time will also lead to lack of nutrition, so it is generally recommended to change the basin soil for about 2 years. Usually, you can add more fertilizer containing scales, such as bone meal, fish scales, and so on. Phosphate fertilizer and nitrogen fertilizer can be made at home. See: nitrogen fertilizer, phosphate fertilizer, potash fertilizer at home.

3. Lighting problem

Nowadays, many families grow flowers indoors, but orchids are half-day flowers. We usually leave the lights on until late at night indoors. Coupled with the sunshine during the day, magnolia is equivalent to spending 16 hours in a bright environment. The light time of the country of origin (South Africa) is generally no more than 10 hours, so they can only grow but not flower bud differentiation under long sunshine conditions, so they can not blossom for a long time.

So if you want to make them blossom, you have to move them to a room with no lights on at night, or put them on in a black plastic bag. It doesn't matter when the arrows are pulled out.

4. Temperature problem

The suitable temperature for the growth of Cymbidium during flower bud differentiation is 12-20 °. If the temperature is too high or too low, it will affect flower bud differentiation, and it will not blossom without flower bud. Therefore, during the period of flower bud differentiation, attention should be paid to keeping the temperature, not too high (25 °), and never lower than 10 °.

Find the reason is easy to solve, according to the editor's understanding, in general, there are more problems 2 or 3, and finally wish you all the gentleman orchid can bloom a lot.
