Growing flowers and plants well is a very interesting thing. Many flower lovers generally grow some foliage plants, flowering plants, etc. Common potted plants such as clivia, gardenia, orchids, and Chinese roses are all good flowering plants, and they are all relatively easy to grow, but yellow leaves, root rot, or failure to bloom may also occur, and flower lovers must pay attention to this.

1. Too frequent fertilizing, only growing leaves and not blooming

Growing flowers is 30 percent about fertilizer and 70 percent about water, so potted flowers should be fertilized carefully, and you should learn to water flowers with fermented rice water. Usually, cooked okara can be placed in the flower pot, and phosphorus and potassium fertilizer can be applied regularly, so the flowers can bloom well.

However, be careful not to fertilize too much or too often. This easily causes the plant leaves to grow leggy, and then after too much nitrogen and phosphorus, the leaves' photosynthesis strengthens, and the plant also only grows leaves without blooming.

2. Branches and leaves not pruned, leaves grow leggy and do not bloom

For potted plants such as gardenia, jasmine, and geranium, the branches and leaves grow very fast, but you need to remember to prune the branches in time. If you do not prune, the branches will become too dense and numerous, all the nutrients absorbed by the roots will be supplied to the leaves, flowering will slow down, and there will be no blooming, or the buds will be very small. In early spring, most branches and leaves can be cut off, which can give nutrients to the buds and let the flowers bloom.

Flower lovers now have a certain understanding of flower-growing methods, right? Usually, be careful not to apply too much fertilizer to flowers, so that the flowers do not only grow leaves without blooming. Some flower lovers apply too much nitrogen fertilizer when growing clivia, so the clivia only grows leaves and of course will not bloom. Some phosphorus and potassium fertilizer can be applied, and in two years it can send up a flower stalk and bloom.
