Madagascar periwinkle, which is what we often call Catharanthus roseus, is a flowering plant with strong sprouting ability that is very easy to grow. It blooms easily, produces many flowers and has a long blooming period, but if it is not cared for properly, some small mishaps can occur. For example, some people say their Madagascar periwinkle buds withered before opening, and ask what is going on. Below we will analyze the reasons why Madagascar periwinkle buds wither before opening and the solutions.

Plum blossom: Autumn management and care of bougainvillea

First, we need to consider whether the Madagascar periwinkle has been given enough fertilizer, because it is a plant that likes fertilizer and cannot tolerate poor soil. If the fertility is insufficient and the nutrients are not enough, it will be unable to promote flowering, and it is also prone to premature withering. The remedy is to apply fertilizer. During the growing season, a water-soluble fertilizer can be applied once every 7 to 10 days. Once the flowering period begins, the fertilizer should be mainly organic fertilizer, supplemented by compound fertilizer, applied once a month. This can both ensure the brightness of the flowers during the blooming period and extend the blooming period of Catharanthus roseus, achieving the greatest ornamental value.

Second, check whether waterlogging has caused the roots of the Madagascar periwinkle to rot. If so, not only will the flowers wither during the blooming period, but the plant will also gradually turn yellow and die. If waterlogging occurs during the blooming period, then the only option is to drain the water promptly and check whether the roots have rotted, and repot the plant when necessary.

Finally, check whether there is insufficient sunlight or whether the soil is alkaline. Clayey soil with poor aeration, alkalinity or compaction are all unfavorable to the growth of Madagascar periwinkle. However, when flower buds wither before opening during the blooming period, it is generally caused by insufficient nutrients.

Note! When flower buds lack nutrients, they easily wilt. If you want the Madagascar periwinkle to produce more and more beautiful flowers, be sure to pay attention to fertilizing during the growing season. Only when the fertility is sufficient can the blooming period be longer and the flowers bloom more vividly.
