The use of flowering stimulants
Flowering stimulants are used in flower shops in order to interest the buyer in an abundantly flowering plant. But after a period of active flowering caused by a stimulant, the culture weakens and takes a significant period of time to recover.
It is recommended to carry out standard care for the flower, in the spring to transplant into new soil.
Resting state
In winter, most of the ornamental plants are dormant. This state means that the plant has no growth of foliage and shoots, no flowering, the culture is in deep sleep.
But there are also exceptions. Some types of orchids, cyclamen, Decembrist, azalea, amaryllis bloom in winter. If flowering did not come, or there was a sudden shedding of buds, then this indicates a violation of care.
Lack or excess of fertilizers
Lack of nutrients or their excessive use affect not only the development and condition of the plant, but also the lack of flowering. Newbie flower growers believe that an abundance of fertilizers will lead to active flowering, but practice shows that everything is the other way around.
A crop fed with fertilizers cannot flower, just like a plant that is undernourished. Fertilizers must be applied strictly in accordance with the instructions.
Incorrect spraying
In the hot season and with too dry air, house flowers need to be sprayed. But the incorrect implementation of this procedure can lead to the discarding of the buds by the culture.
To avoid this trouble, when spraying, watering, applying top dressing, you should avoid getting liquid on the buds. To humidify the air, water can be sprayed near the plant, not on it.
Stagnation of moisture in the axils of the leaves can lead to their decay, and the diseased plant is not able to bloom.
Transplant and pruning
A transplant carried out during flowering is one of the reasons for its termination. Some species require additional recovery time, even after a standard transplant, and should not be expected to bloom during this period.
The frequent formation of the crown to give it density and splendor deprives the culture of most of the areas in which the formation of buds could begin.
Unsuitable container or soil
Soil, the composition of which does not meet the requirements of a certain type, will not be able to provide the plant with the necessary nutrients. Top dressing is not always able to solve this problem.
Improper soil acidity can not only lead to a lack of flowering, but also completely destroy the culture.
The soil should be changed annually or every two years. In this case, it is necessary to use a soil mixture suitable for certain types.
When transplanting, always choose a container 2 cm in diameter larger than the previous one. The roots of the flower should not touch the walls of the pot, they need room for active development, which ensures flowering.
Drainage holes in the pot will avoid overflow, which causes rotting of the root system, which also prevents flowering from starting.
Poor lighting and illness
Lack of sunlight leads to various diseases that prevent the culture from developing. A diseased plant directs all its forces to maintain life, and the flowering process is postponed indefinitely.
Insect pests suck juice from flowers, which also leads to a lack of flowering.
Timely supplementary lighting with a phytolamp and preventive treatment against diseases and parasites will allow you to enjoy the beauty of the buds annually.
