If you can't wait until next year to bloom and want it to bloom in 2-3 months, you can cut off the flower branches 5 or 6 nodes from the end, but the nutrients consumed will also increase.

2. Repot: You can take advantage of this period, Replacing new potting soil and planting into large flower pots can provide new nutrients to the plants.
