There are many reasons why chrysanthemums do not bloom. If it is because the flowering period has not yet arrived, don’t worry, just maintain it carefully and wait for it to bloom. If the light is not suitable, sufficient sunlight needs to be added during the growth period. The flower bud differentiation period should be reasonably exposed to light but not more than 12 hours. If it is due to too much watering, watering needs to be controlled. If it is due to lack of fertilizer or incorrect fertilization ratio, attention should be paid to rational fertilization. If it is due to lack of pruning, pay attention to pruning and remove useless branches and leaves immediately.

1. The flowering period has not yet arrived

Reason: There are many varieties of chrysanthemums, and some varieties have a relatively late flowering period. The reason why they do not bloom may be because they have not yet reached the flowering period.

Solution: There is no need to worry about this situation. Determine the variety of chrysanthemums, maintain them carefully and wait for them to bloom.

2. Uncomfortable lighting

< /p>

Reason: Chrysanthemums need sunlight to synthesize nutrients and promote flowering. If they are not exposed to light for a long time, they will not be able to grow buds and it will be difficult to bloom. It is a short-day flower, and too much light will affect flowering.

Solution: The growth must be supplemented with enough sunlight, and cannot be placed in a place without sunlight. During the flower bud differentiation period, control the sunlight and provide reasonable exposure to light but no more than 12 hours.

3. Watering too much

Reason: Growth requires an appropriate amount of water. If there is a lack of water or too much water, it will also affect flowering. .

Solution: Control watering at ordinary times. Water when the plants need water, but the amount of water should not be too much. Once too much water is applied, it needs to be drained as soon as possible.

4. Improper fertilization

< /p>

Reason: If fertilizer is not applied according to demand, the plants will lack nutrients and naturally cannot supply flowers. Or improper fertilization, excessive application of nitrogen fertilizer, and lack of other fertilizers can also cause failure to bloom.

Solution: Reasonable application of fertilizers during growth and maintenance, nitrogen fertilizer during the rapid growth period, and more phosphorus and potassium before the flowering period.

5. No pruning

Reason: If the flowers are not pruned for a long time, the flowers will have no nutrients, making it difficult to bloom.

Solution: Pay attention to pruning at ordinary times, and remove some useless branches and leaves as soon as you find them.
