If you want poinsettias to bloom, you must pay attention to temperature control, especially in winter. It is not cold-tolerant, and winter is the flower bud differentiation stage. Only by controlling the temperature between 15-20 degrees can the flower buds differentiate better and promote better flowering in the later period. It is also necessary to fertilize regularly, especially during the growing season and flowering time, so that sufficient nutrients can help growth. In addition, when diseased and weak branches are found, they should be cut off in time, and excessively long branches should also be trimmed to ensure that the plants are short, so that they will bloom better in the later period.

1. Control the temperature: It likes a warm environment and has poor cold tolerance. If you want it to bloom, it should be moved indoors after the temperature cools down every autumn for management. In winter, the indoor temperature should be maintained between 15 and 20 degrees. At this time, the plant is in the stage of flower bud differentiation. If the temperature is lower than 15 degrees, the flowers will be stunted and affect later flowering.

2. Adequate fertilizer: The nutrients consumed by it for flowering are naturally For relatively large amounts, fertilizer must be replenished in time. During the growing and flowering season, well-rotted liquid fertilizer should be applied every half month. After autumn, compound fertilizer should also be applied, once a week, three or four times in a row. This management can promote the differentiation of flower buds and the discoloration of the bracts.

3. Prune in time: If any disease or weakness is found during the growth stage Branches should be cut off in time to reduce nutrient consumption. When the branches grow to 20-30 centimeters, they need to be shaped and bent to make the plant shorter and the flower heads more neatly distributed, thereby helping to bloom and improve its ornamental value.
