From January to March, if there are signs of the flower stalk shooting up, raise the temperature around the pot; you can place the pot on a hot brick, put a lamp under the pot, and so on. At the same time, apply some fertilizer, and also prevent the soil from caking. Having earthworms in the soil is also not okay, because it will cause the plant's roots to lose contact with the soil.

1. Raise the temperature

When it enters the flowering period, we need to observe carefully. Once we find signs of the flower stalk shooting up, we must raise the temperature around the pot. You can place the pot on a relatively hot brick, then place a lamp under the pot, so that the temperature of the pot and soil will rise. Also, the indoor temperature should be kept at around 20 degrees, and the nighttime temperature should be controlled at 10 degrees; this is.

2. Apply fertilizer

Before it shoots up its stalk, we can apply fertilizer to it. The fertilizer should be relatively rich in phosphorus and potassium, and we can also apply decomposed bone meal. Fertilizer containing relatively more nitrogen can be applied a little less; this can effectively prevent the stuck-arrow phenomenon.

3. Repotting

If we find that the soil has caked or that there are earthworms in it, we need to pay attention, because caking will affect the soil's air permeability and prevent the plant from absorbing nutrients. If both of these exist at the same time, they will also cause cavities in the soil, and the plant's roots will not contact the soil, so water, fertilizer and so on will be lacking, and the plant will naturally get stuck arrow. Therefore, the plant should be repotted, or the soil should be loosened and watering increased. If the water used is relatively cold, some hot water can also be added. A water temperature of 25 is best.

4. Rejuvenation

If the plant has aged, this phenomenon is very likely to occur, so we need to rejuvenate it.

5. Place a wooden stick

We can also place a wooden stick between the plant's two leaves, so that the leaves will be mechanically propped apart, but do not use too much force, otherwise the leaves will be damaged.

6. Hormones

We can also add some hormones to it, which can promote the stalk to shoot up. Hormones are generally formulated from plants, and the name is just something like stalk-promoting agent.

Besides prevention, we can also solve this problem by targeting the causes of stuck arrow. After finding the cause, changing the plant's environmental conditions is a very convenient method.
