Jasmine does not bloom

Summer is the season when jasmine and gardenia flowers bloom, but recently many florists have reported to Huahua that none of their jasmine gardenias have bloomed, and the newly purchased gardenias always drop buds. So, gardenias What’s the reason why jasmine doesn’t bloom? What should I do? Today Huahua will introduce it to you.

Gardenia does not bloom

The soil is too alkaline

Gardenia likes slightly acidic soil. Relatively speaking, the soil in the north contains more salt. If the soil is too high, the soil will be alkaline, which will cause the plants to turn yellow and affect flowering.

Improvement measures: Before planting gardenias, treat the soil to be acidic. During maintenance, you can use ferrous sulfate to water the plants, or add a little vinegar when watering!

Insufficient light

Gardenia It likes sunlight, but it cannot be exposed to strong light. Improper light (too strong, too weak) will affect flowering.

Improvement measures: When maintaining gardenias at home, they can be placed on a south-facing balcony to ensure at least four hours of light every day. When the sun is strong in summer, they can be properly shaded.

Insufficient fertilization

Top flower During the growth period, excessive water and fertilizer will cause the plants to grow leggy. If there is insufficient water and fertilizer, the plants will not receive sufficient nutrients for growth and it will be difficult for flower buds to form, resulting in no or few flowers. Even if it blooms, it is easy to drop flowers and buds. In addition, plants lack phosphorus and potassium fertilizers, and excessive nitrogen fertilizers will also affect the formation of flower buds.

Improvement measures: When repotting gardenias, you can add sufficient organic fertilizer to the bottom of the repot, and apply thin liquid fertilizer once a month during the growth period, starting in April until the flower buds appear. , spraying potassium dihydrogen phosphate once a week can promote the differentiation of flower buds.

Not pruned for a long time

If they are not pruned for a long time, the branches will be messy and the supply of nutrients will be insufficient, which will make it difficult for the flower buds to differentiate. The plants therefore lack nutrients and have difficulty flowering.

Improvement measures: Prune in time during the growth period, and cut off leggy branches, overlapping branches, diseased and weak branches in time to promote the differentiation of flower buds.

Jasmine does not bloom

The soil is partial Alkali

Like gardenia, jasmine also likes acidic soil. If the soil is too alkaline, the plant will not bloom.

Improvement measures: Change the pot once a year or pour ferrous sulfate every half month. Apply more organic fertilizer and less chemical fertilizer.

Insufficient light

Jasmine likes light Strong environment, as the saying goes, "jasmine will never die". When there is insufficient light, the leaves are small and thin, and it is difficult to form flower buds.

Improvement measures: Place jasmine in a well-lit area such as the courtyard or balcony so that it can see more sunlight, which is conducive to the germination of flower buds.

Insufficient nutrients

Jasmine is a joy Flowers with strong fertilizers will have difficulty blooming if there is insufficient fertilizer.

Improvement measures: During the blooming period in summer, apply decomposed thin liquid fertilizer once every 3 to 5 days; during the flowering period, apply organic fertilizer based on phosphorus every 3 days. , such as cake fertilizer and water, chicken and pigeon manure, superphosphate, bone meal, etc., or spray 0.2% potassium dihydrogen phosphate 1 to 2 times, the flowers will be more colorful and the fragrance will be stronger.
