How to grow potted Brunfelsia pauciflora so it blooms more

Brunfelsia pauciflora, also called yesterday-today-and-tomorrow, has fragrant flowers that open in sequence, with white and purple appearing on the branches at the same time, like a pair of mandarin ducks, which is why it is called "mandarin duck jasmine." As a common indoor flowering plant, recently some flower lovers have reported that their Brunfelsia pauciflora is not blooming. What is going on?

Brunfelsia pauciflora likes light. When grown indoors, it needs no less than 4 hours of light per day. Under sufficient light, Brunfelsia pauciflora can bloom continuously. If light is insufficient, it will affect the plant's normal flowering.

Brunfelsia pauciflora likes acidic soil. When blooming, it has a high fertilizer demand, and the water supply must be sufficient, watering thoroughly after the soil dries out. Improper fertilizer and water management can also affect the plant's normal flowering. Before flowering, apply more phosphorus and potassium fertilizer to help the plant bloom more; control the amount of nitrogen fertilizer applied, otherwise the plant is likely to grow only leaves and not bloom.

In addition, Brunfelsia pauciflora is tolerant of pruning. Cutting off the top branches, leaves and flower buds helps flower buds sprout and produces more side branches. This helps the plant bloom more.
