Longevity Flower has thick and green leaves, and its flowers are bright and beautiful. Because it has the meaning of "blessing longevity", it is deeply loved by thousands of households. Many people like to raise a few pots on the balcony or by the window. After the hot summer, the longevity flower ushers in its flowering period from September, and it will continue to grow and bloom until the spring of the following year. Some flower lovers' longevity flowers can even breed buds from August, and a wave of flowers has bloomed in September.
What? It's already October, and your longevity flower has not yet bloomed! It is highly likely that you did the following 4 things wrong. Take remedial measures as soon as possible.
Longevity flower is a plant with strong flowering ability. Except for the summer, it can bloom in the rest of the spring, autumn and winter. Generally speaking, after two times a year, longevity flowers need to be pruned in large quantities, once spring just ends and summer is about to enter, pruning is to facilitate it to spend the summer. The second pruning is at the end of summer and when autumn just begins, when pruning, because longevity flowers are prone to grow too long in summer, pruning more branches is to prepare for the growth of autumn and winter.
Usually, most areas cannot prune the branches of longevity flowers in large quantities after mid-September . Longevity flowers are plants with new branches. Pruning them in large quantities will cut off the newly grown branches, so naturally there will be no buds to see.
Solution
If it is a longevity flower that does not bloom due to excessive pruning, you must stop pruning the branches immediately. Continue to maintain normal maintenance and wait for the hidden buds on the old branches to sprout and new branches again. The longevity flower can slowly restore its flowering ability and grow buds.
Some flower lovers have encountered this problem: the longevity flowers at home are obviously growing very well, with many new branches, and many dense leaves, but they just don’t bloom. It was clear that there was no problem with lighting or watering, and I had not re-cut it. Later I found out that there was a problem with the fertilizer.
In addition to growing longevity flowers, they often grow green plants such as green ivy and spider plants. Some people are more careless and will use fertilizers for green plants on Changshou Flowers. The fertilizers for leukoglobin are high-nitrogen fertilizers with a high content of nitrogen, which are mainly used to promote the growth of branches and leaves. After using high-nitrogen fertilizer for Changshouhua, both nutrition and energy are used to grow leaves, so there is no extra nutrition to breed flower buds .
Solution
If the longevity flower is caused by the use of high-nitrogen fertilizer, it is necessary to stop applying high-nitrogen fertilizer immediately. Flower lovers can switch to high-phosphorus potassium fertilizers that promote flowering, such as Huaduoduo No. 2, flower plant nutrient solution, etc. Take potassium dihydrogen phosphate as an example. After diluting it with water in the ratio of instructions, irrigate the soil or spray it on the leaves, 2 to 3 times a month. After switching to fertilizer, the longevity flowers will gradually become blooming.
Solution
In autumn, this type of longevity flower needs to be replaced with nutrients, and fertilizers are needed. We will talk about the method of changing soil in the fourth point below, which mainly talks about supplementing fertilizers here. For this type of problem, it is recommended to choose fertilizers with balanced nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium in the first to second months of the first, such as Aolu slow-release fertilizer, compound fertilizer, Huaduoduo No. 1, etc. Balanced fertilizer can supplement the overall nutrients of the plant and quickly restore its vitality.After the leaves and branches resume normal growth, use high-phosphorus and potassium fertilizers that promote flowering (see the second point of this article for use).
The branches and leaves of Changshouhua are thick in texture, and can store a lot of water. Therefore, even in the autumn when growing rapidly, Changshouhua does not need to be watered. If you water it too frequently, the longevity flower will not thank you, but will only rot the roots for you. After the root system rots, it is a question whether the longevity flower can live, let alone the long buds.
Solution
If you water frequently recently, the soil in the pot is always wet. Changshouhua has symptoms such as soft and yellow leaves, drooping and unspiritual, soft and black branches, wrinkled, and falling buds. It is most likely that excessive watering causes root rot.
We can take the plant out of the pot with soil and check whether the root system is healthy. A healthy root system is white or white yellow. If the root system is black and soft or rotten, it means that the root system is rotten. We need to trim the roots in question and replant them with new nutrient soil.
If you change the pot normally, water it directly, place the flower pot in the ventilated scattered light and place it in the seedlings for 5 to 7 days, and then maintain it normally. If the roots are rotten in water, do not water them after planting them. Put them in a ventilated place and wait for 3 to 4 days to allow the roots to dry. Then water thoroughly and wait for another 4 to 5 days. Finally, move the flower pot to a well-lit location for maintenance.
